without shelter for thirty-six hours.
Casualties suffered by the division,
the resolution asserted, aggregated
1000.
Gen. March. chief of staff, who ac-
companied Secretary Baker, testified
that up to November l the total
deaths from all causes in the Thirty
fifth Division were S79.
Referring to the charge of a lack
of artillery support, Gen March said
that the division was never beyond
the range of the corps and army ar
tillery. He declared that it might
have been beyond the range of the
divisions smaller calibre guns. He
explained that it was cheaper to as
sault the enemy machine gun nests
than stand still to be shot at.
Doubts Such Report.
1t was stated that the department
has nothing definite with regard to
the measure of airplane support
given the division in that particular
battle, but it was seriously doubted
that such conditions as have been
charged existed, according to Gen.
March.
He said plans had been made very
carefully, and for this battle it was
the intention to have a great aerial
concentration, including squadrons
of 40 bombing planes. The gem
eral admitted that it might have
been possible for one or two Ger
man machines to slip through and
swoOp down to fire on the Amerf-
cans. Such occurrence would have
had no military value, he said
The 1900 wounded men reported
to have been left to lie on the damp
ground for thirty-six hours CORE
sponded with no figures the War
Department has. Gen. March de-
clared. No proof had been offered
that this condition had been per-
mitted to exist, and the department
did not know where the report came
from, he continued.
Similar refutatiOns of the other
charges made in the resolution were
made by Secretary Baker and Gen.
March.

Swift for Regulation.

Some method of regulating prices TO
stop extreme fiuctuation is needed.
Louis P. Swift yesterday told the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee investigating the packers.
'If some system of stabilization
could be arrived at, it would be a
good thing" he said.
Lifting of government control
over meat now would be disastrous,
Swift warned the committee.
During the present uncertainty
thority over stabilized prices remov-
ed it would result in disastrous
conditions" Swift said.
First prices might go to the
cellar. and the next effect might
everybody would be upset And in
the end, average prices might not be
different than the stabilized price
and it would result in great in

Fayors Government Control.
Ought there be a government
body to fix prices?" Representative
Stephens asked.
Il want to state that it has been
practical and will work under present
or war-conditions," Swift replied.
'1t has been perfectly practical and
has worked. Whether it can be work
ed afterwards and in normal times.
can't undertake to say"
The arrangement is practical now,
he explained, because the Food Ad-
ministration controls allied buying.
Under searching questioning by Rep
resentative Dillon, Swift traced the
labyrinth of his holdings in banks
stockyards and foreign packing houses
and holdings in practically all large
cities. including Chicago. New York
st. Paul, Kansas City and Portland
Ore.
Swift admitted that his family anC
friends control the swift Internationa
Company. doing business in Australia
and South America.

every fantasy OF anarchy. The de-
clamatory note, which explains the
decision, says so without subterfuge.
The powers disclaim every right
to intervene in Russia's internal af-
fairs. They refuse supplying the
smallest support to the reactionary
elements Under such conditions,
the result of the negotiations is de-
cided in advance.
The unusual place of the deliber-
ations is not surprising. 1t is i'm
possible that the powers should want
to send delegates into Russia, nor
would they want to let Bolsheviki
come to Paris. No neutral country
would receive those undesirables. So
the choice became very limited. The
solution saves the face" 1t main
tains the appearance of an intention
to isolate the virus.
Lenine and TrOtzky Triumph.
What does it matter il the battle
against its contagiOn IS renounccd? ?
There remains the possibility Of fail
ure- Let not such illusions fool US.
Lenine and TrotzSy have for months
begged for a suspension of hostilities
dLlu an opening OF negotiations. Why
should they now hesitate to suspend
the offensive of the Red army? Isn't
the future wide open for their propa-
ganda?
Undoubtedly, the other de facto
governments in Russia are deeply
disappointed by the decision, which
is a terrible blow to the scattering
powers in northern and southern
Russia These governments will re-
gret that they alone enjoyed allied
support in the war against the Maxi
malists- Reduced to their own forces
and facing adversaries who will re-
ceive enormously increased strength.
what can they do? It would be sur
prtsing il they agreed to a compro-
mise with these Odious powers they
desire to destroy. Thus. Lenine's tri-
uuph is practically assured.

held a short meeting andA AEreed to
the publication and transmission by

The governments now associated
in conference to effect a lasting
peace among the nations kre deeply
disturbed by the news which comes
to them by the many instances in
which armed force is being made
use of in many parts of Europe and
the East to gain possession of ter
ritory the rightful claim to which
the Peace Conference is to be asked
to determine. They deem it their
duty to utter a solemn warning that
possession gained by force will seri-
Ously prejudice claims of those who
use such means. 1t will create the
presumption that those who employ
force doubt the justice and validity
OF their claims and purpose to sub
stitute the proposition for proof of
right and set up sovereignty by
coercion rather than by racial or
national preference and natural his
toricaI association. They thus put
a cloud upon every evidence of title
they may afterwards allege and in
dicate their distrust of the con-
ference itself. Nothing but the most
unfortunate results can ensue. If
they expect justice they must re-
frain from force and place their
claims in unclouded good faith in
the hands of the conference of
peace"

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOCK YOUNG, PRETTY
SAGE TGA--AND SulPHUR DARK.
, EMS 80 NATURALLY THAT
NOBODY CAN TELL.

Hair that loses Its color and luster
or when It fades. turns gray, dulr and
lifeless, Is caused by a lack OF sulphur
in the hair. Our GRANDMOTHER made
UP mixture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur
TO keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands OF women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which Is So attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly.
that nobody can possible tell 1t has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II ana draw
this thru your hair. taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears: but what de-
lights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage

COAL IS RELEASED
LOCAL DEALERS GET FIVE CAR
LOADS HELD IN LOCAL YARDS.
Situation at Marietta Relieved by Re-
lease Of Two cars--city May Con-
serve All Fuel Within Local Admin
istration's Jurisdiction - No Fuel to
Be Diverted to Fort Dodge.

Some relief from the coal shortage
was received locally Thursday when
five car loads OF coal. held in local
yards, were released to dealers, and
two ear loads were released to Mariet-
tn. one local dealer secured three car
loads and two others one car each.
The coal 10 Marietta will relieve sit
uation there which was considered Sc
rious. The people OF that village and
it's vicinity had been reduced TO wood
ration and the recent heavy SHOWS and
cold weather have made wood chop
ping difficult.
1t was believed by the fuel admin
stration today that release OF coal now
would be made easier and 1t is hoped
shipments from the east will soon ar
rive. One local dealer has score or
more cars of coal eRSopte.
May Conserve Own Fuel.
Fuel Administrator Bell received a
telegram Thursday night from 7. W.
Proctor, Of Chicago, chairman of the
regional coal committee, advising him
that this city must conserve all coal
now under the Jurisdiction OF the To-
cal fuel administration. This in sub
stance is a refusal on the part of the
regional committee to order the release
Of Narshalltown fuel for the use Of
manufacturers al Fort Dodge or else
where.
W. T. Rohrbach. Of Fort Dodge, who
came here week ago to beg five or
six car loads of coke, has returned
home-without securing any fuel. Rohr-
bach's demand first was for five or six
car loads. but later he asked two or
three. He was insistant and declared
he would press his demands until the
local authorities were directed to turn
over portion of the local supplies.
Street Lights Turned On.
Because Of the slippery condition OF
the streets In the business district and
the late appearance Of the moon tho
upper lights on the electrofiers were
turned on Thursday night. This con-
cession was greatly appreciated by
theatergoers who found walking diff
ficult on the Icy streets.
Consumers are urged to continue
conservation measures rightly that
there may be no possibility of famine
before the newly mined coal is receiv-
ed from the mines.

Farmers Wife Sells
100 Dozen Fresh Eggs
For II Cents in Trade

To see 100 dozen fresh eggs brought
to market at this season Of the year
eggs produced in zero weather-was
an unusual sight at a local grocery
store Thursday afternoon, when a
farmers wife marketed eggs and other
produce that brought her check for
$685.. In addition to the eggs, (which
brought the. farmers wife So cents a
dozen cash for two-thirds Of the num-
Der. and e cents for what she sold ~
trade, the woman sold thirty and
three-quarters pounds OF butter and a
dozen spring chickens-cull cockerels
from her flock.
The 100 dozen eggs brought to
market came from 200 pullets and
seventy five hens which comprise the
flock on this farm. The eggs have all
been gathered within three weeks. or
course not all of the 275 hens and
pullets are laying, for il they were the
owner of the flock could have market
ed 300 dozen or more within the same
period. The earlier Matched pullets
are laying, as are also the hens which
have finished mott long enough to get
down to business again.
When asked about her care OF her
chickens this farmers wife said She
gave them only the care that they
need. A warm chicken house Is pro-
yided, and the hens and pullets are re-
quired to scratch for all their feed. 1t
Is fed in a deep litter so that plenty
OF exercise is afforded at feeding time.
In Analysing the egg production on
this farm it will be seen that, even
with the good care given the flock, the
