Suburbanites crowded the railway
stations awaiting trains that did not
leave, and many remained all night,
while others sought hotels for lodg
ing. Too Cold to Work.
At noon the city gave up the fight
to clear streets. The cold was too
bitter for the men to work, and, after
being given hot coffee and sand
wiches, were sent to their homes for
the day.
"It would be inhuman to require
men to work on a day like this," said
William Burkhardt, deputy commis
sioner of public works.
The Illinois Central railroad turned
over IS -sleeping cars to persons who

Chicago, Ian. 12. An unprecedent

all next week on account of the cold

was issued this afternoon by Edward
Davis, president of the Board of Ed

also in furnishing correct sizes, he
contended, also contributed to short-
ages.
Senator Wadsworth insisted that
the War department had developed,
in the Mexican border service, that
shoe sizes were not properly stand
ardized. Chairman Chamberlain declared
sanitary conditions and overcrowding
of men, with lack of clothing, at
Camp Bowie were reported to the
department in September and should
have been called to thj secretary's
attention, as epidemics, predicted by
the camp commander, had followed in
December. !'
Canvas Camps.
Secretary Baker replied that his ad
visers said no ouble in canvas
housing of men was probable. i
"It turned out that the camps .in
which there was the most sickness
were the cat.vas camps," said Mr.
Baker.
Senator Weeks said Major General
Greble, Camp Bowie's commander,
had reported conditions to four high
officers in the department.
"That is the trouble wi'.h the de
partment," Senator Hitchcock inter
rupted. "Nobody knows where to
submit anything, being shunted from
pillar to post."
Senator Frelinghuysen asked if all
clothing manufacturing facilities of
the country were used.
Sweat Shops Prohibited.
'The sweat shop system was pro
hibited from the beginning," Mr.
Baker replied, disclaiming knowledge
that large and well known Rochester
(N. Y.) factories were not used.
Turning to cantonment health con
ditions, Secretary Baker conceded
there were complaints and differences
of opinion regarding architecture of
hospitals.
Senator Wadsworth said the Spar
tanburg (S. C.) camp! hospital was
built with open roofs, like the
Panama zone hospitals, and had to
be roofed over when near zero
weather came. Secretary Baker re
plied that all hospitals had been built
on plans recommended by Surgeon
General Gorgas.

AMERIGAN GUN ORE W WHIPS
U-BOA TIN FOUR-HOUR FIGHT
Washington, Jan. 12. How the naval gun crew of the American
steamer J. L. Luckenbach successfully fought off for four hours the at
tacks of a German submarine until a destroyer racing to th? steamer's
rescue, forced the U-boat to submerge, was told today in an official ac
count by the Navy department.
The engagement described took place on October 19 while the vessel
was enroute to a French pork. The U-boat subjected the merchant craft
to a heavy shell fire that injured seven men, started a small blaze aboard
and temporarily put the engines out of commission.
"Don't surrender" flashed the commander of the American destroyer
that caught the Luckenbach's disfcess call. "Never," was the laconic reply.
All members of the armed guard have been commended by the hiavy
department for gallantry in action and the commander has been given
the temporary warrant of boatswain in recognition of his services.

place iii a small area where thou
sands of armed men are living with
out the crime being discovered.
A report that the number of sentries
at the camp had been reduced because
of the cold weather was denied today
by Lieutenant R. C. Kendall, in
charge of the case.
Officials expressed the opinion that
had the men screamed when they
were being killed, their outcries un
doubtedly would have been heard, de
spite the fact that a heavy wind was
blowing.
Another feature of the case which
attracted particular attention today
was that Carl Ohelson's father, a Kan
sas City contractor, went to the bank
about the" time the murders were com
mitted. He found the door locked
and called out to Mr. Winters. The
murderer must have answered for
Winters, as he told Ohelson to return
today.
Just how much money the robber
obtained was not announced by the
authorities.
Isolate Entire Camp.
Within 20 minutes after the mur
ders were discovered Camp Funston
went under a strict regime. The
camp was isolated and today a heav
ily armed guard surrounds the entire
area, with orders to shoot, to kill any
person who attempts to enter or
leave the camp by stealth.
Immediately after the murders
were discovered every military unit
in camp was ordered to make a
"check roll," which accounts for
every man.
A police dog followed a trail to the
Union Pacific tracks and then to the

conclusion of peace more successfully
on neutral soil than in Petrograd.
No Secret Diplomacy. ,
As for the fear of the central pow
ers that the entente nations might
endeavor behind the scenes to hinder
the conclusion of peace, H. Trotzky
declared the Bolsheviki policy was
conducted without the secret methods
of the old diplomacy, which, like
many other things, had been abolished
by the Russians in their victorious
revolution of October.
It was the opinion of the Russ an
delegate, he said, that neither politi
cal nor technical circumstances ren
dered it necessary to continue to hold
the sessions at Brest-Litovsk.
Moreover, M. Trotzky continued,
the Russian delegation could not pass
over another point, which had been
mentioned by the German chancellor,
Count von Hertl'ng.
Germany's Position.
"I refer," he said, "to the portion of
Count von Hertling's statement (be
fore the Reichstag main committee),
in which he referred, in addition to'
Germany's just intentions, to Ger
many's powerful position,! (machtstel
lung). "The Russian delegation cannot
deny, and does not intend to deny,
that its country, owing to the policy
of the classes until recently in power,
has been weakened. But the world
position of a country is not deter
mined by its technical apparatus alone
but also by its inherent possibilities

Get Down to Business.
After the Russian position had been
thus voiced, the conferees apparently
get down quickly to business. They
left the question of separate repre
sentation for the Ukraine in the con
ference for decision at plenary ses
sion after the delegates of the cen
tral poweis had talked it over among
themselves. Ihey then arranged tor
the German, Austro-Hungarian and
Russian delegations to get together
for private discussions. These three
sets of delegates speedily organized
themselves into a committee for the
discussion of political and territorial
questions and went into session for
this purpose.
The Ukrainian spokeman at the
conference gave notice that any
peace settleent that might be reached
would be binding upon the Ukraine
only if accepted by it, and declared
the same principle applied to "the
other Russian republics."

Henry Rosenthal of Cincinnati
Appreciates Annual Review
of Savings and Loan Associations.
Tiie Bee's annual review nf tl:
business of the savings and loan asso
ciations of Omaha draws an appreci-
ative compliment from Henry Roson
thai of Cincinnati, editor of the Amei
ican Building Association News.
A gain of $4,000,000 in resource
during 1917, despite the drawbacks i
nine months of war, carried the r
gregate resources of all association
in Omaha "over the top'' of $35,000.
000, an average annual growth t
$1,000,000 a year since the first asso
ciation was organized in the spring
of 1883.
The editor of the News, whose vi
sion spans association work through
out the nation, quickly grasps Oma
ha's leading position in the work oi
advancing home ownership. Acknowl
edging receipt of the annual review
Mr. Rosenthal writes to The Bee:
"I want to congratulate the asso
ciations of Omaha for the great work
they have accomplished in bringing
about such wonderful increases in as
sets. I know of no place in the world
where such progress has been made
on a good, solid basis as Omaha."
