to us."
Regarding relations between Ger
many and Austria. Herr Scheldemann
said an indication of the Austrian feel-lna-
toward the oresent German recline
mtaht be gatnered from the fact that
during the recent demonstrations In
Vienna the Austrian Emperor was
never once attacked by speakers, but
that the German Emperor was openly
and repeatedly Insulted.
This was due. he said, to attacks of
the German Junkers on Austria. He
declared the junker press has been de
manding that "Germany should be freed
from Austria.
"Let us seek In honor. said the
pesker. "to save the world from new
bloodshed In the Spring;. Let us give up
Illusions on both sides. Remember that
the feeling among: our people Is most
serious. If you permit the Russian
negotiations to break up and the peo
ple bope to be disappointed, what else
can be expected but catastrophe?"

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Jan. 26.
(Special.) Responsibility for the fire
which threatened the factory building
of Walla Walla College, the Adventist
institution at College Place, this morn
ing has not been placed by the authori
ties tonight, and there is some question
whether the blaxe was incendiary. Con
sidering the fact that within a month
there have been four other attempts to
fire the main building and all were
plainly incendiary, officers believe that
this latest attempt was also work of a
firebug.
The blaxe had gained considerable
headway before it was discovered by
the night fireman about C o'clock. The
blaxe started over the pumps in the
factory building. The Interior of the
building was badly scorched before the
blaxe was extinguished by the volun
teer fire department -of the school.
The Walla Walla fire department
reached the scene within five minutes
after the alarm, was turned in. some
of the apparatus having been set apart
for just this use In case of need.
Since the recent attempt to fire the
main building, the college has had the
auditorium building carefully guarded,
and no attempts have been made for
several weeks. Authorities of the school
say they do not believe a student could
be responsible. Officers, however, be
lieve that the attempts In the past have
been so-called Inside jobs," because
persons responsible have shown great
lamtuarity with the building.
All the attempts have been made
when no life loss would have resulted,
early morning or evening being the
tlmea chosen. In the factory part of
tne buiiumg where the fire was started
this morning are located the lighting
plant, heating plant, laundry and pump
ing plant.
A delay In discovery would have
crippled the entire institution. Much of
the machinery was damaged, but not
so badly that it cannot be repaired.

Castala A. P. Bbwna.aa, Military Ob
server. Tells of Babies Impaled
a Geraaaa Bayaaets.
WASHINGTON. Jsn. 2. German
atrocities have been minimized 100
times where they have been magnified
once, members of the Republican Club
were told today by Captain A. P. Sim'
mont, a United States military observer
In Germany during the mobilisation,
having been attached to the American
Embassy at Berlin.
"Don't let anyone tell yon that German
atrocities are merely fiction,"" Captain
Simmons declared. One of the most
gruesome eights I ever saw was the
Impaling of babies on the ends of Ger
man bayonets snd their return to fran
tic mothers. If you knew the horrors
that patient. Buffering little Belgium
has been through, your blood would
freeze In your veins."
Captain Simmons ssld the United
States must send s.ooo.ooo men to
France to make any showing, "for our
enemy Is fortified by almost impreg
nable forces."
In tunnels dug through the snow left
by the storm of two and three weeks
ago, were quickly filled today.
Beginning at noon efforts were di
rected toward towing cars into the
city from the countryside, which was
fast being snowed in.
A number of the steam roads fol
lowed the action of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Qulncy early today and can
celed all but a few trains, and some of
them may suspend entirely by morning.
Bllssard Conditions Return.
Chicago was almost normal. Its
streets were almost clear. Its schools.
closed for weeks, were preparing to
open. Its railroads, working day and
night, had cleared the rights of way
and were almost up to their schedules.
Then came the fourth great blizzard.
which threatens to rival the worst snow
fall of the year.
Pavements and streets again are lost
to sight and the work of 100,000 shov-
elers hps been undone.
The tear oi iamine, coal tieups. milk
tleups, of transportation suspensions
hlch the city has faced three times
and overcome, confronted Chicago for
fourth time. Thts time, if the
weather conditions materialize. It will
be in a more dangerous and powerful
form.
Since the last blizzard the railroads I
have managed to clear their lines suf
ficiently to enable the cars to reach
the coal mines in Southern Illinois and
Indiana.
Fael Sltaatloa Critical.
Pending the return of these cars.
numbering several thousand, the city
has been on almost a famine basis on
its coal supply. Now there Is no chance
for these cars to be brought In for
eversl days, and the situation Is ex
tremely acute, v
Tbe blizzard also means no milk de
liveries for two or three days, the food
supply Is very short and the situation,
viewed from any ancle, is extremely
critical.
In connection : with the milk supply
a new problem faces the dairymen In
tne matter or getting feej for the cows.
Few of the farmers bad laid in a store
sufficient for the entire Winter, and
grain is waiting at many railroad cen
ters for days at a time until connec
tions can be made with the dairies.
There Is also present at all times
the peril of a great fire in any one
of the snowbound cities.

STORM TO PROLONG EMBARGO
Disastrous Effects on Railroad
Transportation Seem Probable.
WASHINGTON. Jan. f S Just as rail
road administration officials, encour
aged by rising temperatures over most
of the country, had begun today to dis
cuss removal of the general freight
embargo on three Eastern trunk lines.
reports reached them of new snow
storms, with their disastrous effects
on railroad transportation.
The Immediate result was the 'aban
donment of hope of removing the ex
isting embargo tomorrow or Monday
nd the intimation that it might be
necessary to extend It further.
After Chicago reports said from sev
en to 10 Inches of snow bad fallen and
was being driven over tracks and
trains by a high west wind, more snow
was forecast for most of tho eastward
country for tomorrow.
Coal was kept moving and neither
the fuel nor railroad administrations
hsd any reports Indicating any more
serious commercial shortage than has
prevailed tor the past week.
The zone system of distributing coal
probably will not be put Into effect
for another week.
