GERMAN ANIM0S|TY TO PRUSSIA STRONG

great majority of the Germans to-

great majority of the Germans to- ward Prussia will have decisive in- fluence on the future configuration of central Europe" said Count Won Hertling, the former Imperial Ger man Chancellor in an interview with the correspondent of the Matin, three days before Won Hertling's death.
 At Munich as at Stuttgart and Cologne, there is resentment against Prussia for having so badly steered the common-ship and let it be under stood that Prussia, not the country, but the caste and the political system is meant. Existing Prussia is incom- parably stronger than all the other confederated states, but it does not represent homogeneous ethnical bloc, but an agglomeration of widely different provinces. If the present ideas follow their course momentous historical events soon will occur and the name of Prussia will disappear from the map of Europe.
 "In the new Federal Germany, there will be no place for the dispropor- tionate Prussia surrounded by feeble satellites. The new Germany will comprise six or seven states, approx imately equal in importance. Instead of Prussia, we will see the state o1 Brandenburg and Pomerania, the state of Hanover and the lower Elbe the state of Wesphalia bound by fed eral ties to Bavaria, to Saxony and to Wurttemburg, and itself united tc the old grand Duchy of Baden"
 He was questioned by the cores. pondent as to the hatred of Prussia to which the correspondent said ap' pered to him to be of recent date.
 Evidently" Won Hertling replied with frankness, lone reason very diff ferently when deafened by the clamors of victory and everybody be- lieved in victory. At the beginning of July, 1918, was convinced, con- fess it, that before the first of Sep tember our adversaries would send us peace proposals Certainly our situ- ation was most dangerous, in the sense that we had played our last card. But what did that matter, since we were sure we were. winning
 "We were all the more sure of that because of certain information of the most favorable nature which reached us from the entente countries, nota- bly from France. It was on account of this information that the high com mand, notwithstanding the opposition of the government. was able to con- tinue bombarding Pairs. It was ob- viously hoped to hasten thus the pro- cess of demoralization, about which well-meaning agents furnished daily fantastic reports.

 FOR BR[AkFAS
Off On Account of Blowout at Vivian, La, Which Has Been Repaired, But Another Break at Sulphur.
of again, on again. gone again. and on again.

of again, on again. gone again.
 and on again.
 We give the loquacious Fanningan credit for the words, excepting the appendix, but it aptly describes the gas situation as it has been, and as it is. However, there will be gas today. l The trouble this time originated at Vivian, La. when blow out occurred in sixteen inch "Y" at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. This was imme- l dlately repaired and the pressure | again turned on. Too great a pressure was let into pipes howecer, and the Sulphur river break again turned Bol- sheviki
 Two watchmen stationed at Sulphur river reported the break there, and the gas was immediately turned into the six inch auxiliary pipe line which caused a very low pressure. F. II. Young, local manager, stated last night that he had the pressure entirely shut /, off last night at six o'clock in order to prevent the possibility of any acci- dent which might result.
 The break at the Sulphur river was caused by the fact that the river is still far above it's banks, and the pipes there are more or less exposed About a section of pipe was blown out, ac- cording to Mir. Young. The Sulphur ri- yer in it's normal size is said to be nothing more than a rivulet. but it is stated that it is now over a mile wide at the place of the break. This means that for over mile, the company's pipe lines are under water.
 The gas company refuse to send Ia normal pressure through the pipes again until the water has receded. and a thorough inspection made, and if the inspection results satisfactorily, the normal pressure will be returned.
 A dispatch from Shreveport last night stated that the trouble was caused by break in the main line at Vivian, La., and that this had been re- paired at 2 o'clock yesterday. This report does not coincide in every de- tail with the statement made by Mr. Young, but both statemens promises sufficiency.
 No less than seventy five phone calls were received at the Graphic office last nlSnC rom seekers OI luIOIlldliOl on the gas situation. Nothing definite was given cut from the Graphic office, however, until reports were verified by Mir. Young and the Shreveport dis patch.
 Probably the gas company office has received hundreds of call today from anxious citizens who were fearful lest this stoppage in the current should mean the hewing of more wood and hauling of more coal.
 Following is the dispatch received a little after g o'clock last night: ! Shreveport, La., Jan. 10.--Due to blow out in the gas mains of the Ar kansas Natural Gas Company at Viv- ian, La., at II o'clock this morning, Little Rock and other Arkansas cities, supplied with fuel from the Caddo fields, shivered for several hours to- day The damage was repaired at Z o'clock ths afternoon and servce re- stored. The pressure, however, is still low but conditions will be improved by tomorrow morning officials of the company here say.
