UbSVOX, Jan. . Ths Pan-Oannan
newspapers of Germany are hailing tha
remoTai of tha emperor's secretary.
Rudolf Von Valentini. n a triumph for
their cause and tha disappearance of
the laat remnant of tha Brthroann

was one of tha most hated men In tha
eyes of fan-Germans. Ilia iurccor,

Kwt I'ruesia. enjoy the complete con

Tha Taallx:he Rundchau recalls a
remark of Von Valentini after the bat
tle of Sicizirrick. rexretttng that event
"because we had been Just on the point
of an understanding with , Ureal
Britain."
While It seems undoubted that tha
raa-Uermane thus again, at least for a
time, are firmly In the saddle, the
frankfurter Zeltunr sounds a note of
disquietude regarding events In Aus
tria and their effect on the situation.
The Frankfurter Zeltung's Vienna cor
respondent Interprets the serious
strikes and outspoken press utterances
aa reflecting the strong movement
against delaying peace through 1'an
ierman and annexationist aspirations,
lie declares that It Is becoming clearer
that with the seml-ronnl vinCv of the
government, the European peoples. In
cluding Germans, will only wage war
until the entente is ready for peace by
understanding.
' A mat rt Strike Msirsirst Straas.
Nothing has had such a bad effect
upon the relations between Austria
Hungary aa the bearing of tha Father
land party, according to thla corre
spondent, and ha adds:
"It la trua that the strike movement
(at Vienna and other cltiea throughout
Austria) arose through the reduction
of tha flour ration, but now has as
sumed a political character. It de
manda speedy peara with Russia, and
has grown too strong to bs stemmed

Tha article published Friday in the

minister, has given the greatest of
fence to a section of tha German presa.
which In acrid articles revaals its
pent-up animosity toward Austria- The
Fremdenblatt denounced Prince Von
Buelow as a traitor against Austria
and also expressed the dissatisfaction
f tha Austrian government wrth the
agitation of tha German annexationists
for the Incorporation of Great Polish
districts Into the German empire.
German Papers tlapresa Wrath.
Tha articles In tha German papers
express wrath because of the rremden
blatt'a statements, which are regarded
as semi-official.
The latest German reporta through
Amsterdam, to which city they were
forwarded by the semi-official Wolff
Bureau, flatly assart that th military
party has gained the victory In Uie
territorial policy of Germany and show
what face that country proposes to put
on annexations In the east. The guise
In which these ara represented are that
the peoplea of these countries already
have determined their future status
through existing representative bodies
and that this determination la ir
revocable.
whether the German newspapers
from which these reports have been
taken represent the general feeling or
are extracts culled by the censorship
for circulation abroad remains to be
seen.
Military Gets Frea Hand.
The Lelpstc Neueate Nachrlchten says
the political leaders have given aa
auraacea that they feel no obligation
to apply . the formula of no annexa
tions and no Indemnities to the wast,
but will, rather, go In tha direction of
giving the military an eullrely free
hand.
"It la not forgotten In Enarland. the
paper continues, "that the Emperor Is.
In tha present circumstances, the

Receipts of All Grains Handled by Chi
cago Dealers Laat Week Smallest
Sine Tear 1800.
CHICAGO. Jan. 10. (Special.) The
grain trade, like nearly every other
kind of industry, is affected by the
unsettled feeling resultant from the re
cent fuel regulations and the enforced
holiday and unprecedented traffic situ
atlon on Eastern and Western lines.
Every effort Is being made to move
eoal and perishable freight, with grain
a secondary consideration. Western
railroads have done remarkably well In
overcoming the effect of the most seri
ous snow blockade the Central West
haa known. They have distributed cars
for loading corn as rapidly as possible
and are now In shape to move corn and
oats more freely. It haa been estimated
by some persons In the trade that there
are about 5, 000,000 bushels of grain,
mostly corn, headed for primary mar
kets. Receipts of all graina here last
week, totaling 1.I7J.000 bushels, were
smallest since 1000. The mors bearish
traders assumed that this corn would
come to market all at once, which is
not presumable.
Farmers in sections where the corn
Is poor are anxious to sell, regardless
of price, ss they realise that the bulk
of the product will have to bs moved
inside of the next 0 days or not at all,
aa Ha keeping qualities are regarded
as poor.
Elevator Interests are buying low
grade corn and drying It, as Eastern
buyers refuse to handle It otherwise.

LASTING PEACE IS SEEN
Dr. 3. K. Uart, of Reed College, Dls-
casees Russian Revolution.
In the Boishevikl the Russian com
mon people ees an expression of Tol
stoy's Ideals of a lasting peace. Dr. J.
K. Hart, head of the department of
education at Reed College, told those
gathered at the college vespers yes
terday afternoon. In them, he Indi
cated, were the precursors of the big
world ideal which will come to take
the place of the big guns when the
material issue of ths war has been
swept away.
Dr. Hart spoke from an educational
and psychological analysis of the Rus
sian revolution and with academic free
dom of discussion. He made no effort
to estimate the Boishevikl as a po
litical factor other than to conclude
that should their treating with the
German Imperial government fall. It
may be expected their Influence would
next be felt on the German people as
a whole. "It is a marvel," he said,
"that the German people have not thus
far revolted under their government."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. "Jimmy, the

Marines in France, just won't eat

He'll eat anything but ants, although
once in awhile the cook slips it over
on him by camouflaging insects in
scraps of bread. Of course. Jimmy
thinks he's eating raisin bread but
what's the difference? ,
Jimmy became attached to the Ma
rines at Vera Cms. more than two
years ago. and since then has led an
adventuresome life. When the sea
soldiers went overseas he went along.
He greatly puzxles the French pollu
with his choice of foods. He eats all

butts don't go amiss.
In short, he eats anything and every
thing but ants.
INDIAN SCHOOL FUND ASKED
Special Appropriation of $250,000

OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. TVash
Ingtort, Jan 20. Instead of recommend
ing a special appropriation of 6500
to meet the abnormal expenses of the

for a lump sum appropriation of $250,
000 to meet similar Increases in cost
at Indian schools generally. It devel

the regular appropriation made for the

unless more funds are forthcoming the
school will have to be closed Ions be
fore the end of the present term.
