January, 1919, Broke
High and Low Record
Of the Hog Market

The month of January 1919 saw
the breaking of two hog records on
the South Omaha market. The low
est days receipts in the history Of
the market were Friday when one
car of hogs was unloaded. This low
mark is due to the embargo.
January exceeded all months on
hop receipts although frequent en-
bargoes tended to keep them down.
Had no embargoes been imposed
General Manager Everett Bucking-
ham estimates that the receipts for
the month would have exceeded the
half million mark. The receipts of
hogs for the month were 449,30l
head. January 1917 was the nearest
to equaling this record when AL, l04
head was received.

STATUS OF SYRIA WILL BE SETTLED AT PEACE TABLE: 5: One of Most Delicate Cues tions to Come Before the Conference. PROTECTORATE
 CANNOT EXIST New Form of Suzerainty Will Have to Be Devised
 for Country.

Paris, Jan.. 25-The future status of Syria is one of the most delicate questions to be settled by the Peace Conference. It is expected that a commission will be appointed soon to report on conditions in Syria and suggest course to be followed there.
 Pierre Rameil, a member of the French ' Chamber of Deputies, in- formed The Associated Press today that in view of the advanced cfviliz- ation of the Syrians, the idea Of a protectorate or a colony such as ex- ist in certain other parts of the world cannot obtain in Syria. He added:
 "A new form of Suzerainty will have to be devised and a new word coined to describe it. Owing to diff ference of race, religion and Ian guage the Syrians at present are un- able to govern themselves. Some oi the great European countries mus exercise guardianship and guidance over Syrian affairs.
 France from time immemoria having had the greatest interest ot hny country in Europe in Syria and & majority of the population speak. ing the French language, French of ficials feel that such guardianship and guidance devolves upon Franc; until such time as Syria is able tc govern itself.''

TO ACQUISITION TRANSPORTATION
French Government to Take Hand in General
 Strike.

Paris, Jan. 25-The French gov ernment is about to take a hand in the general transportation strike which was declared in Paris yester- day, affecting the subway lines, the surface cars and automobile buses. It has decided to requisition virtually the transportation system of the city, the north and south Metropolitan system (the subway. the street car service and the Omnibus Company of Paris and the Seine.
 This action. it is stated, is to be taken because the government con- siders 1t inadv;sable that even a par tial stoppage of the means of trans portation in Paris should occur.
 The strike was still in effect this morning. On the Metropolitan system only a few trains were running on the two main lines, these trains stop ping at only the important stations.

 POINTS ARE ABANDONED
Declares Sen. Lewis Speak ing in Support of League
 of Nations Plan. POINTS ADOPTED
 AS PEACE TERMS Impossible for U. $. to Omit Single One, Postpone or
 Withdraw One.

New York, Jan. 25-SenatOr James Hamilton Lewis of Illin- ois, speaking today before the Lawyers Club in support of the proposal for a League of Nations, declared that the American government in the peace settlement could nqt abandon a single one 0s Presi- dent Wilson's 14 principles without laying itself open to the charge of perfidy.
 Germany, Senator Lewis said would have the right to refuse to abide the terms of the armistice, the Allies would be justified in withdraw ing from the peace table, and all small nations or aspiring peoples fighting with the United States or the basis of the Presidents proposals turning from America.
 Ihe peace was made by Germany and her people on terms of the four teen points proposed by the United States, including the proposal of 8 League of Nations for future peace,' said Senator Lewis. These were adopted by the Allies as their only terms of peace and all accepted as the basis by Italy, the Balkans ant Turkey. It Is impossible for the United States to withdraw one o1 her terms or postpone one or omi to press one-without giving Ger many the right then and there to re fuse to abide by the terms of the armistice in any particular. Sht could refuse to abide by the terms o the armistice in any particular. Sh' could refuse to deliver her cannon and arms as agreed. The people O Germany would be justified in charS ing us with fraud on them and turl against use and support any forct against us and support any fore would be justified in accusing us O trickery and withdraw from the ta ble.

GREAT BRITAIN'S DECISION THOUGHT GREATEST VICTORY Has Decided to Leave Flu
 ture of Mesopotamia and Colonies to Conference. INDICATES TRUE PLACE OF LEAGUE England's Pledge Gives No
 Other Power Excuse for Holding Back.

London. Jan. 25-"Great Britain's decision to leave such questions as the future of Mesopotamia, Palestine and the German colonies to the League of Nations is profoundly im- portant," says the Daily News. "The adoption of such a policy by the British delegation has established the league in it's true position in relation to the Peace Congress and invests the whole proceedings of the congress with an atmosphere of confidence and good will, created by the refusal of a great nation to take advantage of the accident of military possession of valuable territory.
 If Great Britain is ready to give such an effective pledge of her faith in the League of Nations, no other power Is left with an excuse for holding back. The decision may we'll prove to be the greatest victory of the war"
