DISCUSS THE WHEAT PRICES
Dealers Urge the Government TO Buy
at Guaranteed Figure and Sell
on World Market.

Washington, Feb. 4-Grain dealers,
appearing today before the House ag-
riculture committee, proposed that the
government Pay the guaranteed price
Of 1925 q bushel for the 1919 wheat
crop, and sell it to the consumer at
the world market price, which they
estimated would be about S1-25. The
witnesses generally believed this plan
would cost the government probably
Ia billion dollars, but said this loss
was preferable to any attempt on the
part of the government to maintain
an artificial price.
Representative Lever, OF South Caro-
lima, suggested three other plans:
That the wheat movement be entirely
on the pre-war basis; that the move
ment possibly be restricted by the
government being authorized to sell
or buy so as to prevent manipulation,
and that the domestic movement be
entirely on the pre-wir basis with the
export movement under federal con-
troll.
The committee was holding hear
ings on the bill prepared by a. W.
Glasgow, counsel for the Food Admin
istration, in cooperation with the De-
partment of Agriculture
Chairman Lever announced his dis
approval Of the measure as drawn,
declaring that it granted broader pow
ers than those of the Food Control
Act. l. F Gates, of Chicago Board
of Trade, declared the proposal was
vicious while grain dealers testified
that Mr.. Glasgow had disregarded
their suggestions and drafted a bill
unnecessarily broad and comforting too
much power on one official
Chairman Lever announced that
none of the committeeman seriously
considered the building of elevators
or warehouses for storing grain" and
that this section of the bill could be
eliminated from discussion
A E Reynolds OF Charlottesville,
Ind, chairman of the legislative COM
mittee OF the Grain Dealers National
Association, said a crop Of IL billion
bushels was in prospect and he, with
other dealers, thought the world price
would be about s125 a bushel
F. c. Van Dusen OF Minneapolis said
the present is too early TO make spe-
cific plans under which the grain cor
pOration should operate, but, he add
ed, the President should be given
broad authority in handling the stu
alton"

CONSIDERING TWO
PLANS FOR LEAGUE
The Smaller Nations Favor the
First Scheme as the More
Democratic.
MAIN FEATURES DISCLOSED
Revised Plan Would Not Give Small
Countries a Representation on
the Executive Branch.

Paris, Feb, 5.-President Wilson
presided tonight over the commission
of the Society of Nations, which had
before it the completed project for
constituting the league, discussing it
article by article. While there is no
authoritative information concerning
the details of the project, the distri-
button of printed drafts among the
members has disclosed the marin fea-
lures, and these can be summarized
as follows:
Two main plans have been present
ed, which the members Of the COM
mission regard as embodying the
American views, though both plans
are composite, containing the best
features from various sources, Amer
lean, British, French and Italian.
Both plans are being conside ed to-
gether. In it's original form the first
plan is generally regarded as more
democratic, and therefore more ac-
ceptable to the small powers, where
as the revised plan is not so accept
able to the small powers, as it elimi-
mates them from the executive branch
of the proposed organization and is a
international supreme council with a
fundamental basis of codified inter
national law.
The First Plan.
The first plan had three main fea-
lures.
l. A legislative branch, of which
the great and small nations were
equally represented, each as a unit.
2. An executive branch, consisting
of two members from each of the
great powers, United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, and
nine members chosen from the small
powers This gave the executive body
a total membership of nineteen, of
whom ten represented the great pow
ers and nine represented the small
powers.
8. Arbitration was provided for
the determination of international is
sues. In case of dispute between
two nations, each nation named arbi-
traitors and these two selected a third
arbitrator Three arbitrators thus
chosen constituted a tribunal for de-
termining the issues.
The Revised Plan.
The revised plan makes several i'm
portant changes. The legislation
branch remains the same with the
great and small nations represented.
The executive branch is modified,
however, so as to consist chiefly Of
the great powers, with two represen-
tatives from each, to which others
from the small powers may be added
when interests especially affecting
them are at issue.
The third branch is entirely changed
so as to eliminate the plan Of arbi-
traitors and substitute an executive
council of the great powers as a trib-
unal for judging international issues,
analogous to the international SUI
preme council.

CUT BOLSHEVIKI
FORCE TO PIECES
Siberian Troops Virtually Ami
hiIate Two Divisions of the
Radicals at kungur.
AMERICANS SCORE A VICTORY
Heavy Losses Inflicted and Enemy
Forces Routed in Attack on
Positions on Vega

Omsk, Feb. 6-Two diviGions of
Bolshevists have been virtually ami
hilated by Siberian troops under Gen
eTal Gaida at Kungar, fifty miles
southeast of Perm, according TO an
official statement issued here today.
Yanks Win.
ArchangeI, Feb. 6.-Heavy losses
were inflicted on the Bolsheviki by
the American forces on Tuesday and
the enemy was driven back in dis
order from the village of Vistavka, on
the Vaga The American casualties
were five killed and several wounded.
Many Bolshevik soldiers were taken
prisoners by the Americans.
The enemy early in the morning
began a bombardment with field guns
and howitzerss and, under cover of a
shrapnel and pompom barrage, es-
sayed a frontal attack with infantry
in the Arctic twilight at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. The American troops,
who were rested after their retire
ment from Shenkursk and were now
established in a good position, poured
a heavy fire from artillery and ma
chine guns into the charging Bolshe-
Wiki, whose ranks broke and fled into
the woods
Flank Attack Abandoned.
Captured Bolsheviki declared that
the enemy had planned a flank attack
simultaneously with the frontal move
ment, but this was abandoned when
the Vistavka attempt failed.
Chinese and Manchu troops are
now included in the Bolshevik forces
opposing the Americans on the Vago.
So far these have been held in re-
serve, but the Americans are prepar-
ing a warm reception for the yellow
soldiers if they appear in the fighting
line, in view of stories reaching them
of the Manchu treatment of prison
ers in the Baltic provinces.
Yesterdays defeat of the enemy on
the Vaga, together with his failure on
the Dvina, typifies the spirit of the
American and other Allied troops who
are fighting with the utmost determi-
nation to hold their positions until re-
endorsements can reach them. These
defeats have considerably lowered the
enemy morale, but the BolsheYiki are
being constantly REINFORCED, and
while their offensive has been tenn
porarily checked, there are indications
that it will be renewed when fresh
BoIsheviki forces reach the line.
