MUSTS TO
CONSERVE TIE
CORN
AMSTERDAM. Feb. 6—For the con
servation nnd efficient distribution of
the corn supply In tlerman, the gov
ernment has decided to form a stock
company with a large capital, which
will acquire all the available corn nnd
store it until May, before which time
it Is said no sales can tnke place.
The stockholders are principally
large capitalists and towns with a
population of 100,000 or more. Ac
cording to the Franfurter Zeitung, the
directors will be representatives of
the state and Industrial leaders. The
company has the right to condemn and
purchase nt fa'ir price, any supplies of
corn in Prussia. The stock is to pay
dividends limited to five per cent, nnd
any profits remaining beyond this per
centage are to go to charity.
The motive for this move of the
Prussian government is stated as the
fear that, notwithstanding the nmple
ness of the harvest, there may be a
critical period before the garnering of
the harvest of 1915.
ARTILLERY FIRE DOES
NOT EFFECT THE EAR
BERLIN, Jan. 20—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The normal
ear Is not affected in any noticeable
degree by the noises of even the
heaviest artillery, according to con
clusions based upon a long study of
artillerymen by a Berlin ear special
ist.
Of 51 artillerists observed for a
long period by this specialist none ex
hibited any objective symptoms, and
only four complained of subjective in
juries, mainly "ringing In the head.”
In investigations covering a whole
year, only one case of hurst eardrum
was found.
The ordinary recruit who serves only
two years in peace times in the heavy
artillery, but rarely incurs any last
ing Injury to his ears. Officers who
have served many years not Infre
quently leave the service with chronic
partial deafness or ringing in the ears.
Investigation appears to show, howev
er, that these sufferers did not have
normal organs when they enlisted.

OPERA MUST WAIT
‘ SINGERS AT FRONT
PARIS, Jan. 20—(CorresRondence
of the Associated Press)—Monsieur
Dallmier, under-secretary of Fine Arts,
and Monsieur Jacques Rouche, the
new director of the Opera, have de
cided that the difficulties in the way
of an early reopening are too great.
Half of the stage hands have been mo
bilized, and the staging of most of
the operas is such a complicted mat
ter that the breaking in of so great a
number of new men is nearly impos
sible at this time. Furthermore
there is not a single one of the lead
ing tenors left, all having been called
to the front.

SEWARD CLAIMS BOOM
HAS ALREADY STARTED
Several lots have changed hands
since the news came of the request
of the secretary of the interior for
two million dollars. The Whitehead
and Lane real estate firm sold four
lots today and Dr. Romig transferred
three to John* Helm in the Ballalne
addition. The price paid by Mr.
Helm for the three lots In block 38
was only $625. A private deal has
been made of more consequence, but
the details have been kept secret by
the parties concerned. It involves
several thousand dollars and the par
ticulars will be published in a few
days.
Millard. Sulxer and Aldrich are said
to be candidates for the presidency of
the territorial upper house.

HE TEACHER IS
MARTYR TO
CAUSE
PARIS, Jan. 2ft—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The story
lias reached Paris of how a school
tencher sacrificed himself to save the
mayor, cure and a number of citizens
of his village in the Aisne, a few
miles from the Belgian frontier.
After the battle of Charleroi, the
Germans captured the village of D. . .
without firing a shot, and a company of
the Pussian Guards made it their
headquarters for two days. Toward
the end of the second day, while the
Germans were preparing to leave the
village, a shot rang from no one knows
where. The German officer In com
mand hastened at once to the mayor,
V dozen hostages were required upon
the spot, to be shot before nightfall
If the guilty man was not denounced
or did not give himself up. No one
had been hit by the shot, but the offl
cer declared he had heard the bullet
whistle close to his head.
"Very well!" said the mayor, “you
want hostages. Here I am to begin
with.”
And 1, also," declnred the cure.
Three of the older Inhabitants of
ihe village came forward, which made
five. Then the Germans took seven
more inhabitants into an open field
near the church. The firing squad
was ready, and the hostages lined up
against a wall, when the school
teacher, M. Michon . ran up.
"I am the guilty one.” he said sim
ply. “Yes, It was I who fired Just
now. Release these men and take
me, 1 am ready; Pm not afraid to
ille.”
Several of the villagers present had
aeen Michon leave his school house
with his pupils at the exact moment
when the shot was fired. But he
persisted in his declaration and at 7
3 clock In the evening he was shot.

GERMANS DISAPPROVE
MALIGNING SLUES
BERLIN, Jan. 20—(Correspondence
>f the Associated Press)—The Bava
•lan war ministry, In a circular wani
ng newspapers against disregarding
he rules of the censorship, says of a
particular case:
"The Munlch-Augsburg Evening Oa
sette published in Number 325 an ar
Icle written by Hans Bayerl In Rat
sbon, entitled ‘England's and France's
ol.ored Troops.’ In which horrible
itrocltles were reported. The official
nvestigation has disclosed that the
luthor has not been able to adduce
he slightest proof for his assertions.
Inasmuch as the populace is needless
y aroused by such thoughtless arti
cles. written only for the sake of
coarse sensation, the editors of this
newspapper must be strongly warned
against giving space to such arti
cles hereafter.”
While the authorities of the other
Herman states have not taken simi
lar action in regard to atrocity tales,
such stories have practically disap
peared from all but a few of the less
responsible papers. A great part of
the credit of this saner mood now pre
vailing in this regard is given to the
Socialist paper Vorwarts, which from
the first set out to show the ground
lessness of atrocity tales.

[MAXIMS IF JAPS
TO CHEER UP
i It I _
TOKIO, Jan. 20—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—Over 200,
000 replies were received by a Japan
ese newspaper when It asked its
readers to send maxims to stimulate
and cheer the nrmy at Tslngtatt.
This was during the siege of the
Oerman fortress, but the newspaper
has had the contributions translated
Into English and French, nnd will send
them to the allied troops fighting In
Europe.
The first prize was given the writer
of the following:
“A naked soldier armed only with
death daring resolution may rob a
destructive mine of its deadly power.”
This is a reference to a Japanese
sailor who. while engaged in blockade
duty outside Kiao Chow Bay, swam
up to a floating Oerman mine and ex
ploded it.
The epigram that capturel second
prize was:
"Think that a bullet that will pierce
you through is aimed at the Mother
land. Make yourself a shield and
you will defend your country. Be
fore you load your gun with its pro
jectile, load your mind with patriot
ic spirit."
The third prize:
“The pain of a wound In the back Is
doubled by shame.”
“One who always treads the path of
humanity is always safe and strong.”
“Value spirit above a bullet.”
“One victory begets another.”
The fourth prize maxims:
“War Is truly enjoyed by those who
shrink not from death.”
"Vanquish your enemy and banish
your danger."
"The strong kick at the heels of
their adversaries and the weak at
their chins.”
“When you are on the battlefield
put forth your best endeavors think
ing that every five minutes is your
last.” v
“Fear of the enemy springs from
self-distrust.”
“Fear Is but a step to defeat."
“Boldness often conquers gunfire.”
"Meet. ,deth boldly and you can
reach a place of safety.”

FAIRBANKSAN INVENTS
» NEW SCRAPER
August and Alex Hanot, of Fair
banks, i^re working on a new inven
tion in scrapers that is commanding
the closest attention of mechanics and
mining operators in the Tanana val
ley. The invention of the two broth
ers give® every indication of becom
Ing of great importance to the north
ern mining industry as in fact to all
kinds of miniug where scraping is an
essential operation.
This new invention is a labor, fuel
:id cable saver over the old slip
style or the later improved Bagley,
and it is believed will reduce the
cost of operation in open-cut work
perhaps as much as one-third. It can
be operated by one man- where two
and three are now necessary, allow
ing the saved labor to be used else
where around the ground on other
work. Instead of the cable wearing
out in one season, it will last at least
three, and the reduced friction is so
great that the fuel economy under
the boilers will be the greatest sav
ing of all.
