NEW YORK STOCKS
Market Thrown Into Riot of
Bullish Enthusiasm by Unex
pected News of Federal
Control of Railroads
New Tork. Dec 27. The stack market
was thrown Into a riot of bullish enthusiasm
today by the unexpected news of forthcom
ing federal control of the railroads.
Standard rails rose five to IS points during
the more active advance of the forenoon, and
Industrials later became prominent at gross
gains of three to six polnta under lead of
United States Steel.
Evidently the terms and conditions al
ready In connection with this unprece
dented action are tar more reassuring to
Investors and railway Interests than was
generally expected.
The constructive features embodied In the
plan were helpful to other Issues, including
the wide range of Industrials, war equip
ments and allied specialties, as well as
utilities.
Wall Street believes all lines of Industry
are sure to derive substantial benefits from
the physical Improvement and maintalnance
of the transportation systems to which the
government now Is committed.
From the very outset, today's market
swept the bears oZ their feet In their wild
scramble to cover contracts. In spite of
restrictions against speculation there existed
an extensive short Interest whose "Paper
profits" melted In the conprehenslve ad
vance. Final prices in important stocks were one
to two points under maximums, but the net
result was the most heartening since the
beginning of the long sustained decline.
Total sales amounted to 1,180,000 shares. '
Bonds of low grade railroads rose t to
8 per cent. Investments gaining 1 to 2. In
ternational bonds hardened moderately. Lib
erty 4s sold at 97 to 96.86, and 3 4s at
98.50 to 98.36. Total bond salesf par value).
(6.650,000. United States bonds, old Issue,
were unchanged on call.

crease under those of late, only 117 ears be

corn, 26 oats, ( rye and 4 cars of barley.
Arrivals of oorn were rather light and
consequently the volume of business trans
acted was comparatively small. The local
demand for the cash article was moderate,
but early trading slow, buyers waiting for
a recession In values. Bids and offers
showed a variance of 1c to 3c during the
morning and as a result trade was at a
standstill. The government control of the
railroads Is expected to further the food

CHICAGO GRAIN AND FRO VISION.
Grain Prices Average Lower Besalt of
Government Control of Railroads.
Chicago, Dec. 27. Grain prices averacad
lower today, chiefly as a result of announce-J
ment that the government woulq take pos
session of the railroads. Corn closed steady,
January, $1.26 Vi 1.2H, and aMy, $1.24 Q
1.24 T. with the finish as a whols varying
from ?4'c decline to o advance, com
pared with 24 hours before. Oats under
went a setback of 8e net and provi
sions 826c.
Most corn traders Inclined to the belief
that the governrncnl would now bring
about a larger movement of feedstuffs from
the Interior to the principal terminals. Any
aggressive selling based on this theory,
however, was checked by a disposition to
wait until the actual grain showed up. In
fact, the present scarcity of arrivals led
at one time today to something of a rally,
but the strength failed to last, except in the
December delivery. Lack of cars continued
to he. reported from many sections. Never
theless, with peace news attracting fresh
notice, the tendency of the market to sag
was almost constantly recurrent.
At the outset prices of oats had an up
ward slant owing mainly to export Inquiries.
Later, though, the new railroad outlook,
together with peace talk, led to a sharp
break.

300 SOCIALISTS
ARE ARRESTED BY
GERMAN TROOPS
Members and Leaders of Mi
nority Faction Which Re
fuses Unqualified Support
of Government.
London, Dec. 27-More than 300 1 lie Wednesday by Gurdon W, Wat
members of the German minority so- ties, federal food administrator for
cialist party were arrested on Christ-
mas eve by the German military au
thorities, according to a Zurich dis
patch, given out today by the Wire
less Press.
"Following the arrest of minority
socialists at Cologne and Karlsruhe
recently, the German military authori
ties made a large number of arrests
on Christmas eve in Munich, Frank
fort, Leipsic. Magdeburg. Dusseldorf,
Nuremburg. Dortmund, Cassel, Mann
heim, Mayence, Coburg, Duisburg,
Darmstadt and Gotha.
"More than 300 minority socialists
and local leaders in the towns men
tioned were arrested."
No advices regarding the previous
arrests of minority socialists in
Cologne and Karlsruhe had been re
ceived. The German minority social
ists comprise a strong faction in the
party which refused to follow the lead
of Phillip Scheidimann ond others in
their virtually unqualified support of
the government.
Their leaders in the Reichstag, such
as Hugo Haase, have long been per
sistent critics of the government, de
nouncing the program of unrestricted
submarine warfare, various phases of
Germany's diplomatic policy and the
continuation of the war for imperi
alistic aims. Recent advices through
Washington have indicated a pro
nounced growth in the popular sup
port of the minority socialists
throughout Germany, the membership
of this wing of the party being rcpre-j
sented as expanding tremendously at
the expense of the majority socialist!
branch.
Changes of Address Cause
Trouble for Registered Men
Are the Omaha boys who registered
for the selective draft and later en
listed in the army or navy being
branded as deserters in the official
records of the local exemption
boards? Such a rumor has been given
impetus and has brought forth much
adverse comment by relatives and
friends of the young men involved.
Members of the exemption boards
do not have any legal authority to
send questionnaires to any address
other than the one given by the reg
istrant. In such instances relatives or
friends should get in touch with the
draft boards or should return the ques
tionnaire with the enlisted man's new
address.
Several divisions have been notified
that the registrant must answer spe
cifically and explicitly the questions
of that part of the questionnaire which
requires the registrant to state his
actual occupation. For instance, if a
person is employed by a railroad, the
answer "railroad man" is not con
sidered specific. The registrant must
state in what particular branch or ca
pacity he is employed, such as train
man, tracklayer, car shop repairer,
fireman or engineer. This information
must be given if it is apparent that
the registrant will be pupt into a de
ferred class. Under the selective serv
ice laws the boards can call a regis
trant in and compel him to furnish
the necessary information.

The survey further shows that Ne

union on eggs, with an average price
of 44.8 cents a dozen.
A decrease in price on 10 principal
commodities is shown when com
pared with the previous week in No
vember. Canada Controls Foodstuffs.
Rigid control of foodstuffs in Can
ada is indicated in advices which have
come to Mr. Wattles. With the ex
ception of the United States, export
of food is prohibited, save to the
United Kingdom and its possessions
and protectorates.
Hut exports can be made to the
United States of America on certain
commodities.
The advice coming to Mr. Wattles
from the federal food administration
says:
Condition of Licenses.
"The Canadian government has pro
hibited the export of all food and feed
stuffs, fats, oils, soaps and fertilizers
except to the United Kingdom and
British possessions and protectorates,
but the food controller may license
shipments 'to countries in alliance
with Great Britain and having armies
in the field.' These licenses are not
to run longer than six months and
no blanket licenses are to be issued,
full details of shipments being re
quired on all applications.
"To the United States licenses for
milk or fresh fish not in excess of
usual quantities, food grains of less
than 125 pounds, flour of less than 25
barrels, and other commodities, com
prising no one article of more than
$100 in value, may be granted by the
controller of customs at the point of
exit."

returned within a reasonable time, as
they arc part of the public records of
the clerk's office, officials say.
The papers filed in nearly 1,000
cases are now missing from the clerk's
hies and (he attorneys are being noti
fied by telephone to return those in
their hands at once. One attorney re
turned 16 in a single day. There were
