NEWS REVIEW OF
THE PAST WEEK
House May Decide to Investigate
Bernstorff's Plot to Influ
ence Congress.
FIVE NAMED BY TOM HEFLIN
Bulgaria Ready to Quit War Ger
many's Conditional Offer to Evacu
ate BelgiumLansing's Expos
ures Well Timed Halg Makes
Further Advances In Flanders.
By EDWARD W. PACKARD.
The house of representatives may
determine to Investigate Itself, or rath
er the action or certain of Its mem
bers, as n result of the disclosure of
the Bernstorff plot to intluence con
gress and keep the country from en
tering the war, by the expenditure of
$50,000 through some organization.
Representative Tom Ilellln of Ala
bamu precipitated the inquiry by stat
ing In the house that he knew of some
congressmen whose notions were sus
picious. Called before the rules com
mittee, he named Senator La Fol
lotte, Representative at Large W. E.
Mason of Illinois, Representatives
Fred A. Britten of Illinois, und Pat
rick D. Norton and John M. Baer of
North Dakota. He did not nccuse
anyone of receiving German money,
but demanded that the activities of
these five men bo Investigated.
Bulgaria Wants to Quit
Bulgaria, having attained the ends
for which Bhe entered the wnr tho
recovery 6f Dobrudja, Macedonln, and
parts of Serbia that were taken from
her In the Balkan war Is ready to
quit fighting If permitted to retain her
conquests. So says Stephan Pan
aretoff, Bulgarian minister to the
United States. Ills country, he adds,
has no interest In Germany's ambi
tion to establish a Mittel Europn, and
would have preferred to enter the war
on the side of the allies, had their
v-yjiromlsea been ns unconditional ns
those of tnc uniser.
Austria-Hungary, according to nd
vIccb received In Washington, Is rap
Idly ncarlng collnpse, and the Ger
man wnr party renllzcs that pence, If
It Is to be of the German brand, must
be procured within six months or be
fore Amcrlcn gets fully Into action.
There Is grent distress throughout tho
realm of Emperor Charles and his poo
plo would gladly stop fighting provid
ed they do not have to yield too much
to Italy.
Germany Offers Belgian Bargain.
Tho replies of Germany and Austria
to tho pope's pence proposals, filled
with high sounding phrases and hypo
crisy, were vlrtunlly Ignored by the al
lied governments nnd condemned as
evaslvo and Insincere by tho press.
Therefore the kaiser enmc forward
with an addendum, verbnlly expressed
to tho pnpnl'nunclo at Munich by For
eign Secretary Kuchlman, In which he
agreed to evacuate Belgium In order
to gain peace. But the offer was hedged
about by conditions that made all the
non-Teutonic world laugh. He de
manded that Germany have the right
to develop her economic enterprises
freely In Belgium, especially In Ant-
iwcrp; thnt Belgium give n guaranty
that "any such mennco ns that which
threatened Germany In 1014 would In
fnturo be excluded ;" that Belgium un
dertake to maintain tho ndmlnlstrntlvo
separation of tho Flanders nnd Wal
loon districts Introduced by Germany,
and not enter Into any commercial
treaties aimed at Germany. In ro
turn Germany offers graciously to con
tribute a sharo of tho compensation to
be paid to tho little nation she has
ravished.

with the slogan "Peace without Indem
nity means Germany's defeat." This
party serves- to coordinate the activi
ties of the pan-German agencies anil Is
getting large support. The social
democrats are gathering Ihelr strength
to combat It. and the result Is likely
to be n very pretty tight when the
relchMag reassembles.
Little News From Russia.
Little Is heard and still less Is
known Just now about conditions !n
Russia. Plots, countei plots and ac
cusations have not yet unseated Keren
sky, and he and the soldiers' and work
men's council may finally establish
complete control over the situation.
The troops In the field and In garrisons
have been murdering their officers by
the score, and otie correspondent as
serts they have no heart for the war
since the czar was deposed a state
ment that only adds to the confusion
of the mental picture we over here
have of the new republic. The armies,
however, since the Germans captured
.lacohstadt, have cheeked the advance
of the enemy and even retook some
positions near Pskoff. Winter Is com
ing to their aid and It IS considered
probable that the movement of tho
Germans toward Petrogrnd Is about
ended for this year.
General Soukhomliuoff, former war
minister, first of the nutocrats to bo
Judged by n Jury of tho new democ
racy, was convicted of high treason on
Wednesday, and sentenced to Impris
onment at hard labor for life. Ills
young wife, whose extravagance drove
him nearly Insane, was acquitted.
Lansing's Useful Disclosures.
As a means of consolidating the
sentiment of the country and arousing
Its enthusiasm for n victorious war
the disclosures of German intrlguo
made by Secretary Lansing are unex
celled. And they nrc ably seconded
by tho stirring speeches that Colonel
Roosevelt has been delivering. Mr.
Lansing times bis exposes well nnd
makes them with u calm finality that
Is most effective. His latest state
ment Is that he has conclusive evi
dence thnt Count von Bernstorff on or
before January 19 had received and
read the Zimmerman note to the Ger
man minister In Mexico City telling of
the IntentlonJto begin unrestricted sub
marine warfare on February 1, and
consequently was fully aware of his
government's plan when he asked au
thority to expend $50,000 to inlluenco
congress and keep this country neu
tral. Colonel Roosevelt's patriotic ad
dresses wcro n distinct feature of the
week. In Chicago and other middle
West cities ho expressed forcibly tho
opinions he and most of the rest of
us have of the pnclfists and obstruc
tionists and other pro-Germans, nnd
ho gave special attention and somo
choice language to the case of Robert
M. La Follette, tho United States senn
tor with whom Wisconsin Is atlllctcd.
Tho doughty "T. It." Invaded tho ene
my's country, delivering one of his
most fiery speeches nt Kncinc. At tho
Chicago meeting nnd elsewhere resolu
tions wero adopted calling for tho ex
pulsion of La Follette from tho sen
nte, but flint so-called honorable gen
tleman, seemingly unmoved by tho
storm of denunciation, was busy or
ganizing his followers In Wisconsin
for a fight based on what he thinks
nre bis principles.
South America Is on Fire.
Germany bought to pacify Argentina
by disapproving the Ideas expressed
by Count von Luxburg, but tho South
American republic was, by no inenns
satisfied and tho pcoplo demanded thnt
war bo declared. Tho chnmbor of
deputies concurred In tho resolution of
tho senate that relations with Ger
many bo sovered, and It was up to
President Irlgoyen. Ho hns been a
determined ndvocnto of neutrality, but
it seemed likely that ho would bo
forced to yield to tho demand for war.
Before deciding tho mnttcr, ho began
negotiations to securo united action by
nil tho Latin-American nations. Uru
guay and Paraguay wero reported as
eager to break off relations with Ger
many, nnd Peru last week presented
to tho Imperial government n demand
that satisfaction be given within eight
to the United States from Italy anil
trying to arrange united action of
i
days for the sinking of the Peruvian
bark Lorton In Spanish waters Inst
February.
'the people of Argentina have been
stirred to increased Indignation by
the serious strikes of railroad men
and other workers, which have been
accompanied by much violence and de
struction of property. These strikes
are admittedly fomented and financial
ly supported by Germans.
Halg Resumes His Offensive.
Having spent the first part of the
week in consolidating his gains and
beating off the desperate counter-attacks
of the Germans, Field Marshal
Halg on Wednesday resumed his of
fensive In Flanders In the Ypres re
gion. In a few hours his men had
occupied ground to a depth of more
than 1,000 yards along most of the
front Involved, and were In posses
sion of the Tower Hamlets ridge, were
beyond the bloody Polygon wood, and
had taken most of Zonnebeke, the vil
lage from which they were driven In
April, 1015. The Germans made tre
mendously strong counter-attacks dur
ing the afternoon and evening, but In
vain. The results of the offensive, nt
the date of writing, nre pronounced
most satisfactory.
Very heavy losses were Incurred by
the crown prince in futile attacks on
the French along the Chemln des
Dames and north of Verdun.
Four air raids in two days were
made on England by the Germans nnd
about a score of persons wcro killed.
Both airplanes and Zeppelins took part
In these raids and aerial torpedoes
wero used. The chief result was a
renewed demand by the British press
for reprisals. In several bombing ex
peditions the allied airmen did great
damage to German establishments In
Belgium. Monday night tho German
aviators cleverly bombed n French
enmp of German prisoners, killing two
nnd wounding 17. They probably
thought It was a hospital.
Steel Prices Heavily Reduced.
By n voluntary ngrecment made by
steel producers with the war Indus
tries board and approved by the presi
dent, n scale of quotations was estab
lished that reduces prices of steel by
about one-half. These, according to
Elbert II. Gary, nre fair and reason
able, though far below the expecta
tions of the manufacturers. The pri
ority committee of tho wnr Industries
board Issued uu order that In all cases
preference In orders for Iron nnd steel
nnd their products be given to con
cerns turning out muterlnls actually
necessary for the war's conduct. Man
ufacturers of articles classed ns lux
uries nre the first to 'feel the effects
of this order.
Tho federal labor trouble mediators
are a busy lot of men these days. No
sooner was tho big strike of Iron work
ers nt San Francisco settled than (he
lake seamen voted to strike, and next
the switchmen of the Elgin, .lnllet A:
Eastern suddenly quit, crippling the
mills of tho United Stntes Steel cor
poration nt South Chicago and Gary.
Also, machinists employed by tho gov
ernment In navy yards and arsenals
made new demands'for more pay, and
the bituminous coal operators nnd 'min
ers could noff ngreo on wages. It was
n relief to learn thnt tho International
Brotherhood, of Leather Workers de
termined to prevent nil strikes In Its
ranks during the wnr.
For Second Liberty Loan.
All preparations wero completed last
week for tho campaign to flont the sec

Mr. Wattlos has computed tho sav
ing in bread that might be effected by
such a plan. Ho estimates that If each
person In tho nation would save a
single ounco of bread, or ono-slxtoonth
ot a loaf each day, tbo amount of this
saving in round numbers would bo
380,000,000 bushels of wheat per year.

Honors for Western Canada
Come Year After Year.
At the recent Soil Products Exposi
tion at Peoria, 111., In a keen contesr
for the coveted first prize for wheat.
Western Canada has again carried olf
all the honors. Not only has sho won
the llrst, hut also tho second and third
prizes. These were won by Mr. S. Lnr
combe, of Itlrtlo, Manitoba. In past
years the Province of Haskntchownn
hnd the distinguished honor of curry
ing off the Initial prize.
Harvesting und threshing are now
completed In Western Canada, und
while It Is early in the season to give
exact figures as to the average yield
per acre of wheat, oats, barley nnd
tlax It Is safe to assume that the for
mer will yield nbout 20 bushels per
ncre. The price to the farmer will bo
about $2.00 per bushel, giving him
$40.00 nn acre of u return. When It Is
considered thnt the laud upon which
this whent Is grown nveruged less than
$:U) nu ncre, It dikes very little figur
ing to arrive ut nn estimate of tho
profit there Is to the grain grower ot
Western Canada. The writer knows
where u fanner purchased 100 acres
of hind In tho spring of lOtfl, broke It
up the snme year, put It In wheat In
1017. His crop was harvested u few
days ago. It yielded 4,800 bushels nnd
ho sold It ut $2.0." per bushel, giving
him $0,810. The hind cost him $4,800.
breaking, seeding, seed, cutting nnd
threshing. $1,020. His profit was
$3,120 after paying for his land nnd
his costs of Improving. Ho hns now
$3,120 to commence nnothcr season
with a "paid for In full" Improved
farm.
Never has farming offered such prof
itable returns for lnbor ob nt present
nnd nowhero Is tho Inrge profit equal
to that of tho low priced, high yielding
lands of Western Cnnndo.
Thero has been n big rush during
tho pnst few weeks of renters nnd
owners of high priced Innds In mnny
pnrts of the United States to Investi
gate theso 100 profit reports. No
better season of tho year could bo
selected by nnyone desiring to better
their condition nnd wishing to glvo
Western Canada tho "onco over."
Threshing Is now completed nnd tho
grnln being marketed. The wenther Is
line nnd will be plensant for a couple
of months nnd n visit now to person
ally Investigate the conditions -will be
convincing nnd profltnble. Whllo old
homo ties nnd family associations aro
ono of tho first considerations in the
mind of tho render, who feels that
tho old flvo or ten per cent return Is
sufficient, It behooves tho modern and
progressive farmer always to bo on
tho alert to grasp the opportunities ot
the hour. Land In Western Canada
that Is onnunlly producing a gross re
turn of from $40.00 to $80.00 per acre
Is purchasable nt from $15 to $30 per
ncre. It enn bo seen nt a glance that
such values cannot help but Increaso
as they have done In tho older agricul
tural districts of the United Stntes.
The now settler will find himself sur
rounded by snmo contented nnd pros
perous neighbors. The cxpenso ot mak
ing ono visit to look Into Western Can
ada's opportunities Is small a special
reduced rate Is avallablo and you owe
yourself n holiday and a trip may do
you good. You owo your dependents a
right to better your condition and
Western Canada offers that opportu
