Germany is approaching a collapse

her foes, it would be folly for Germany
to take the in itiative in proposing

Germany, however,
is ready at any tim e to consider s

The candidacy of former Senator

by the formal withdrawal of Governor

announcement that he would throw
his support to Mr. Burton.
the continuation o f the war.
The interpellation was introduced by
Dr. Schneidemann, in the follow ing
term s:
“ Is the Imperial Chancellor ready to
g ive information as to the conditions
under which he would be w illin g to
enter into peace negotiations?”
“ I f our enemies make proposals
compatible with Germany’s dignity
and s a fe ty,” said Dr. von Bethmann-
Hollweg, “ then we shall always be
ready to discuss them. So long as in
the countries o f our enemies the guilt
and ignorance o f statesmen are en
tangled with confusion o f public opin
ion, it would be fo lly fo r Germany to
make peace proposals, which would not
shorten, but would lengther the war.
First the masks must be torn from
their faces.”
Only tw o Socialists spoke on the in
terpellation, all the non-Socialist par
ties uniting in a short declaration op
posing discussion at this moment. The
tone o f the debate was dignified and
patriotic and the Imperial Chancellor
was followed attentively and respect
fully except for occasional interrup
tions and outbursts o f laughter from
the Socialist, Dr. Liebknecht, who has
not been in accord with his party since
the beginning o f the war, and who re-
cei ved no sympathy.
The Imperial Chancellor in his first
speech, lasting half an hour, explained
the m ilitary situation on all the front
and declared emphatically that G er
many could not be starved out. The
country had enough food, if properly
distributed.
Germany’s enemies, he
said, were suffering more than the
Germans, and paying higher prices for
food.

Spokane— Packers in the northwest
have virtually cornered the pork mar
ket and are holding down prices, with
the result that farmers who produce
hogs are going to be forced to pass up
northwestern markets and sell in the
east, according to I. H. Jorgens, presi
dent o f the Union State bank o f Nez
Perce, and a bog raiser. Mr. Jorgens
says hog raising is becoming an im
portant industry in the Nez Perce
country.
“ Our section ships three to five cars
o f hogs every Tuesday from Nez Perce,
and they go mostly to Seattle and Spo
kane,” said Mr. Jorgens.
“ Packers
now are paying only five cents a
pound, which we regard as much too
low, the present high prices o f grain
considered. W e must have $6.76 to
$6_a hundred to make the business
profitable.
“ The packers seem to think they
have a corner on the market and are
taking advantage o f It.

raisers w ill be forced to sell in the

Washington, D. C. — The state de
partment’s formal refusal to g ive its
reasons for asking recall of Boy-Ed
and von Papen, German embassy at
taches, was forwarded Tuesday night
to Berlin and given to Ambassador von
Bernstorff. The embassy interpreted
this action as “ very unfriendly.” The
embassy explained, too, that the Ber
lin foreign office had asked that Amer
ica’s reasons be given secretly, i f the
state department did not care to make
them public.
Secretary Lansing, however, the era
bassy said, refused any information.
State department authorities did not
minimize the effect the refusal reply
would have on Berlin, but they pointed
out that Lansing is merely abiding by
a strict custom.
The refusal has the effect o f calling
for a showdown from Berlin.
Germany probably w ill ask that
Bernstorff now confer further with
Lansing on the subject.
With these developments g ivin g i

American relations, it was admitted

may be attem pting in the Boy-Ed-

off diplomatic relations or a complete
acquiescence in Am erica’s demands
are Germany’s only alternatives, un
less the state department permits

keep Boy-Ed and von Papen here in
