Russia, or, to give it its modern name, the "Federative Socialistic Republic of Russian Soviets'. at whose head Lenine (Vladimir Oul- ianoff) and Trotsky Leon D. Bron- stein) figure, is in a chaotic state as far as its internal administration is concerned The Almanach en- umerates the eleven more or less independent states into which the empire has fallen, as follows: Poland; Lithuania; Baltic states
 (Courland, Livonia, Esthonia) i; Finland; Ukraine; Bessarabia; (Oc- cupied by Rumania) Georgia; Nor thern Caucasus; Territory of the Don and territory of Astrakhan; :; Turkestan; Siberia
 Vanished is the pomp and pan- oply of the sonorous sounding names of the Russian aristocracy that once filled the higher ad- ministrative posts in the old empire. The seven members of the Council of Commissaries of the People, are immediately followed by the dignitaries of the Greek Catholic church. If there are any excel iencies or other functionaries or officials in present day Russia, the Almanach does not give them.
 As for the diplomatic corps at Petrograd, all the ambassadors and ministers, except one from Spain, are significantly designated as absent"
 One curiosity is that Albania shares with San Marino the dis tinction of having government indicated only by blanks.

TO PUT BAN
 ON GERMAN DYE STUFFS

TOkIO.--The Japanese authori- ties are planning to take legal steps to discourage the dumping by Germany and Austria of dye stuffs on the Japanese market. The department of agriculture intends to ask at the coming session of the Diet for a revision of the tariff so as to increase the duty on dye stuffs from the present rate of ten per cent to from 80 to 50 per cent. This is intended to prevent the importation of dye stuffS and to encourage the dye industry at home.
 Since the war began the Japan csc dye industry has increased enor- mously and last year Japan ex- ported to China about S2,500,0OO worth of dye and imported about the same amount from China and S3,000,0O0 from the United States.

LONDON.-The last vestige of military equipment was taken from the London police recently when an order was issued by the commis- sioner of the Metropolitan force for the return to the stores of all swords and scabbards.
 In the old days superintendents. Inspectors and all mounted men carried swords and were instructed Tn cutlass drill The weapons were occasionally used in the suppression Of riots. Years ago the inspectors were deprived of their swords. which they hung in the police sta- tlons. The order withdrawing the swords will not lead to the with drawal of the automatic pistols, a supply of which is kept in every police station for use in cases of emergency.

FL PASO.-Feeding sheep on the range during the lambing season has developed into one of the big gest problems sheepmen of the Southwest have experienced, ac cording to local growers of sheep. Inc severe winter weakened the females so much that feeding must be resorted to, especially during the lambing season, to prevent mortality during that period, the sheepmen say. Feed is difficult to obtain and expensive, they also declare.

EUROPE UPSET

The swift march of history which has reduced to waste paper value most of the existing works of refer ence about European state affairs, has been too rapid for the old Almanach de Gotha, says an Asso- ciated Press correspondent, writing from Paris. In peace times, thls compendium of statistical data con corning prices and potentates and their dominions went to pres about the end of October. when its in formation was supposed to hold good for another year, and 1t gen. orally did, barring some coup d etat or other in South America.
 Now. however, its issue for 1919, which went to the printers in De- cember, is affected in several inn portant respects by sudden de- velopments involving many of the former ruling houses of Europe.
 Amusing to students of Ger many's eastern border policy is the naive predatory remark that ''the editors regret that after having prepared three new articles on Finland, Poland and the Ukraine, they were obliged to cancel all three owing to the change in the course of events"
 In other words, Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse, brother-in-law of the former German emperor, will never seat himself upon the throne of Finland, and there is to be no Prussian predominance in Poland and the Ukraine.
 The downfall of the houses of Hohenzollern and Hapsburg has not caused the compilers of the Alman- ach much racking of brains. The prefix "ex" is apparently held to be sufficient to define the present status of William II and Charles l, although the former is still credited with his full 53 titles and the latter is still styled among other things King of Jerusalem, Prnice of the Trentino and Lord of Trieste
 Much the sam treatment is given to the score oi German princes and princelings who abdi- cated. They appear in the almanac as they were-but for the lex"
 Democratic infiltration in Ger many has set in from the top, in stead of from the bottom For al though the administrative branches of the German government are filled with the usual array of ex- cellencies, professors and council lors, yet at the head of that gov ernment stand the names of Ebert, Scheidemann, Dittman, Landsberg and Earth. Nobody is supposed to care about their Christian names.
 The German national colors are still given as black, white and red, and the war flag still blazons the Prussian eagle
 This year, provisional govern ments abound. There is Poland, described in the almanac as "an ancient kingdom" whose "chief" is General Pilsudski. Finland. for merly grand duchy", has no presi- dent, but General Mannerheim is the present regent"
 The Ukraine is described as "a constitutional monarchy on a re- publican basis', with General Skor- opadski as Hetman. A footnote. however, explains that "accordine to news received Dec. 15, 1918. the HeInan has abdicated and the power is in the hands of a directo- rate consisting of Winnitshenko.

IOMM|ES WILL STAY IN ARMY;
 FEED IS SURE

LONDON.-Thousa of the British army who recently became so war weary that they openly threatened mutiny unless they were soon discharged, have turned about face and are volunteering for the New army, according to the mill
 tary authorities, who assert that they are satisfied that there will be little difficulty in securing 900,- 900 men who will do Great Brit aims share in safeguarding the peace the Allies have won.
 The causes said to have sent the
 men Hooking back to the colors are the unexpectedly large war
 bonus offered to men who take on" and the acute industrial situa- tion. The first factor has been of prime importance in the case of boys from Is to 21 who have no trade to fall back upon in civilian life. In the New army they will be fed, clothed and sheltered and draw a minimum of about five dollars a week as pocket money. They have quickly awakened to the realization thaa there is no such prospect awaiting them on return to "civies."
 The industrial upheaval plays the main part in the decision of the older men. In the first rush fors demoboilization no man was permitted to go who had not definite offer of employment. The government did all in it's power to make certain that such offers were bona-fide, but in spite of every precaution thousands of men got their release on bogus papers lnese men soon found themselves In an unenviable position. They could not get work and they faced some very uncomfortable inouiries II they applied for the out-of-work pay provided for those who are ioie through no fault of their own. The recruiting sergeant was an easy road out of their troubles and that astute individual, who draws d bonus for each recruit, was not bind to his opportunities.
 A third factor of minor but real importance is the fact that num- bers of men who have been home on liberal leave since the armistica was signed have discovered that they are not nearly so happv ont ot khaki as they imagined they would be. They frankly admit that they miss the companionship of the army the lack of responsibilitv and the easy hours. Now that the u,au IS over the army is resting on i+s iaurels and in the great cauns around England "work" is con iihed to one hours parade a dav with football games, paper ebases ana other sports to fill in the 70 malnder of the time. That is eohsioerabie contrast to eight or nine hours of monotonous +o;, shop or factory.

Improve Grain
Crops In Future

With over half of the irrigated
wheat grown in Utah described as
mixed under federal grain stand
ards, the most important step that
can be taken to improve our wheat
crop Is to get rid of this mixture.
This statement is vouched for by
Professor George Stewart OF the de-
partment OF agronomy of the Utah
Agricultural College. Professor
Stewart says: "The most important
single thing that can be done to i'm
prove our wheat. oats, barley crops
Is to get rid OF mixtures. This
means two things: C) to grow the
best varieties. or at least, to abandon
the poorer ones; and (2) to grow
pure varieties, that is, TO have reas-
onably pure seed. In this latter re-
spect Utah's condition is far from en-
couraging.
More than half of the irrigated
wheat grown in the state is mixed.

that when ten per cent or more OF a
wheat sample belongs to a class ori.-
err than the predomlnating ones,

The and vendors of business sites in various parts
of downtown Washington have grown unusually active OF late
in their efforts to attract prominent business firms and public
and private Institutions to the neghbohood OF their holdings
They realize that it the better part Of wisdom to endeavor
to direct the growth of the coming business district than to
wait for it'to grow of its own accord.
The fact that Washington has ougrown its present down

sales of downtown property that have been conSummated dur
ing the past several months.
Prophets to be found without number and the field
of future growth according to the predictions extends from
Seventh to Seventeenth streets and from the Avenue to

But those who have given evidence of backing their judg
ment by the purchase of property seem to be of
opinion that the line of future growth will extend toward and
out Connecticut avenue.
Sales of property in the vicinity of Mcpherson Square
have far exceeded number those of business sites anywhere
else IN downtown Washington And is interesting to note
that practically all Of these sales made to- investors who

THEATER ON
CONNECTICUT AVE.

One Of the most promising New
York theatrical producers is planning
the Immediate purchase or lease of a
downtown Connecticut avenue site for
new theater, according to inforna-
ton received here during the past
week.
The theater will be patterned after
the latest plans for.ssuch structures.
and will be present the leading theat-
rical attractions promoted by this
producer.
While several sites were at first un-
der consideration for the location of
the theater, IL is understood that the
one most favored now lies about mid
way between H street and Dupont
circle
There is good reason to believe that
IL the site at present under considera-
ton Is chosen two theaters will be
erected, one to house the legitimate
drama and the other as a photoplay
house.
Those reported behind the new ven
lures are well known in Washington.
and are at present interested in other
theatrical enterprises here.

and Developments on which this con-
clusion Is based. Prof. Fisher con-
cludes his study OF the situation with
this: Business men should face the
facts. To talk reverently Of 1884
prices Is to speak a dead language to-
day. The buyers OF the country, since
the armistice. have made an unexam-
pied attack upon prices through their
waiting attitudes. and yet price re-
cessions have been insignificant. The
reason is that we are on new high
price level, which will be found a
stubborn reality. Business men are
going to find out that the clever man
isEnot the man who waits, but the
one who finds out the new price facts
and acts accordingly"
