night the orders for 1919 number
plates received during the day and is
able SO far to keep up with applica-

a delay in furnishing them to appli-

abled owners to use their cars prac-
tically the whole month even on long
trips, resulted in an unusually large

LAWYERS ADVENTURE
He Became Siberian Province Cover
nor, and the Czecho-Slovaks
Shot Him

A Stroller Tobinson, in July of
last year an obscure Chicago lawyer
with a big idea, and a few months
later Bolshevik governor of see
saving Russian province, has paid
the price Of his brief glory against
a brick wall in Vladivostok.
According to Japanese newspaper
which reached Chicago yesterday, one
of the first acts of the Czecho-Slov-
axis when they captured the great
seaport was to take johnson from
his palace and execute him.
Mrs. Tobinson and her two children
whom the governor" had transport
ed to Vladivostok from a modest
home at 1852 West Twelfth street,
escaped to Japan. 1t was their de-
parture for San Francisco, where
they must by this time have landed,
which the Toxic paper chronicled.
When he was Abraham Krasnsh-
chok, in the days when to speak
against the czar in Russia was to
court death, Tobinson with his two
sisters was exiled to Siberia after a
brother had been hanged. When the
whirl of the wheel of fate tore the
empire down and bore Tobinson up
it was the province of far eastern
Siberia he came to rule.
1t was after the revolution of 1905
that Tobinson suffered exile. He
escaped. from Siberia and came to
Chicago with a brother who has
adopted the name of James E. Tob-
inson, lives at 1885, Cortez street and
up to this cate is peacefully employed
in the drafting room of the Rock
Island railroads bridge department in
I the La Sale street station AT first
Stroller Tobinson worked as a labor
er He found way into and through
the university of Chicago and became
La lawyer. Eventually he formed a
partnership with Robert S. Nahin of
1877 Madison park and opened offices
at North La Sale street.
Outside his practice Tobinson was
active in the councils of Russian
revolutionaries in America, and on
August 2, 1917, when the czar was
gone and the time seemed ripe, left
Chicago and the workers ingtitute-
which he had founded-and returned
to Russia to claim the reward he felt
sure would be forthcoming from the
Bolsheviki-Chicago Herald and Ex-
aminer.

SUBS SCARED BY
BRITISH BLUFF
Plans of Supposed Barrage" Allow.
cd to Fall Into German Hands


London, Dec. 31-The Daily Mail
gives the following particulars of the
"Greatest Hoax of the war;" which
has just been disclosed, and of which
the German Admiralty Staff were VIC
Tins.
Everyone will recall the period of
anxiety following the declaration of
unrestricted submarine warfare,
when, despite patrols and anti-sub-
marine flotillas, the U-boats were
getting through the Straits of Dover.
Though some were captured, others
sunk, the position was serious, when
suddenly submarine activity in the
Straits practically ceased The sail
ors of the patrol were mYstified, but
not those who sat at Whitehall, for
they were aware of the scenes being
enacted off the coast of Denmark
and in the German Admiralty offices.
One morning there was washed up
on lonely part of the Danish coast
the wreckage of ship of war-ob-
viously British. A visitor, examin-
ing the wreckage, found papers which
had apparently been blown out of the
captains cabin They Were charred
and burnt as though by heat or an
explosion. The visitor found the
details of "a new ands wonderful anti
submarine barrage, giving details of
extraordinary electrical jcontrivances
in contact with mines, with a gen.
eral but not particular scheme of
arrangement.
The finder, ostensibly a neutral
of pro-German sympathies, lost no
time in getting in communication
with the German Admiralty. The
Huns were at first suspicious, but
about that time some of their craft
which were instructed to make a
passage through the Straits of Do
ver failed to report.
The Germans decided to buy. The
neutral's banking account was en-
riched by about s37, 800, and they OBJ
tanned the confidential papers.
SO convincing was the information
that the Huns stopped their craft
from using the Straits, and ordered
them to make the longer and more
dangerous northern passage.
The wreck was a fake, the conf
dental documents were a bigger
fake, and the pro-Gelman neutral
who conveniently found the fioatsam
was the biggest fake of all, but our
naval authorities We're thus given the
opportunity to establish ban,age
even more efficient than that dis
closed in the confidential documents

GERMAN APPEALS
TO MARSHAL FOCH
Granted as Far as Military Needs
Permit

Permit
Cologne, Jan. German appeals
against suspension by the Allies of
intercourse between that part of their
territory occupied by our armies and
the rest Of the country have been
taken into consideration at Marshal
Foch's headquarters in Luxembourg,
where a German delegation was re-
ceived, and as far as military needs
permit, they have been granted.
According to the arrangements
reached, the German Government
binds itself to furnish for the occu-
pied zone during the ar1nistice as
much fuel as was sent there in the
third quarter of 1913, and also such
machinery spare parts as may be
required in the industries of this re-
gion.
In return, the Allies will appoint a
commissioner to arrange for certain
quantities of raw materials to be sent
across the Rhine into the interior of
Germany. This will prevent unem-
ployment, which might otherwise
have resulted, for example, in the
iron smelling district of Essen and
Dortmund, whose supply of iron ore
from the Lorraine and Saar region
has been suspended since the arm
istice by the prohibition against the
movementsof goods OF materials from
the left bank of the Rhine to the
right s;fGgs -
In addition to this concession made
by the French and British, the mill
tary Governor of Cologne announces
the importation for the rest of Ger
many of foodstuffs, raw material and
expressly authorized manufactured
articles, which will be allowed into
the territory occupied by the British
troops beginning January I.

We hike about 12 miles and then get
billets. This is a good days hike,
with packs. We have been treated
fine by people thru the country we
have passed SO far. We stayed in
Fentch, France, one night. This is a
small city and we again saw electric
cars here, the first time we have seen
civilization for over four months,
since we left Toul and came up to
the front. We slept in a nice school
house in Fentch. After that we
moved to another small town and
slept in barns or houses. slept in

EXPERTS FEAR TOO
MUCH COTTON:
Say Acreage for Staple Ought to be, But
May Not be, Greatly Reduced
This Year.

The reduction in the acreage OF
cotton and the substitution of food
crops, small grains, forage and live
stock, assumed the position of para
mount problem at the meeting held
by E. I. Lloyd, director of the Cham
Der of Commerce Bureau of farm
development with the farm eyten-
sion leaders of Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Mississippi for the purpose of
evolving a joint and cooperative
problemof farm development in the
Memphis tri-state territory for the
year 1919.
DR.. TAFT Butler, of the Memphis
farm bureau, declared that he could
see no immediate solution of the
problem, that it was one several de-
cades old, and could only be solved
by the patient evolution of a pro-
gram of Investigation and improve
ment of soil. eve can never solve
the cotton acreage problem" he said,
''until we get rich soil in the cotton
section, and grow other money crops
as we'll. You cannot build up rich
soil in day or year and that is go
ing to take time. We must grow
cotton on our poor soil to make
money"
DIR. Lloyd confirmed DR.. Buffers
opinion as to the time it would take
to solve the problem, and further said
that he believed that the develop
ment of good and ready markets,
such as the farm bureau proposes to
develop for other farm products,
would facilitate the reduction Of cot
ton acreage and promote the grow
ing of food crops. He said that mil
lions of dollars had been added to the
profits Of Mississippi farmers in the
last few years by cooperative mar
