TALLMAN WARNS STOCKMEN
TO STIMULATE PRODUCTION
Address Preceded by I'lea From I. T.
i'ryor of San Antonio to tiuard
Against Over Production.
By Associated Pre us
DENVER, Colo., Jan. 21.—Warning to
Western live stock producers that they
must take full advantage of their oppor
tunlties to produce a maximum quantity
of live stock so that ihe needs of the
Nation can be met at reasonable prices
was voiced by Clay Tallniau, Commissioner
of tho General Land Office, in an address
today at the opening session here of the
twenty-second unuual convention of the
American Live Stock Association.
"It is very well for you stockmen to
talk of limiting production to correspond
with the demand so as to keep up prices,"
Mr. Tallman said, "but the laboring man
in the East who has to pay a day s wages
for a roust does not look at it that way."
Mr. Tallman said that 200,000,000 acres of
land In the "rain belt" In the Eastern
States now are lying idle and added "it
the Western States fall to rise to their op-
portunity and develop the live stock In
dustry to its maximum possibility, the
East will turn to these lands or to the
importation for its meat supply and the
West will not only be derlleet ill Its duty
but will suffer from the lack of develop-
ment of which it is capable."
l'rior to Mr. Tallman s address, which
was a discussion of the relations of the
live stock industry to the public domain,
I. T. I'ryor of San Antonio, Tex., president
of the association, had warned the stock-
men that they must guard against over
production in V.»20 and a consequent loss
to the producer through a fall In "rices.

TEA FOR BREAKFAST NOT
RELISHED BY U. S. TROOPS
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, P. C, Jan. 21.—The
I lilted States will pay the British govern
meut actual cost for the transportation of
American soldiers overseas in British ves-
sels. Colonel Battison of the army em-
barkation bureau told the House Military
Committee today that General Hines, head

American soldiers objected.

ly be a denial of the very principles of
nationality. This principle must serve as a
check on the right to wage war, and upon
the passions which drive nations to war.
if It fails to act as such it will degenerate
into a fresh protest for the Justification of
the old policy of conquest aud the passions
to which it gave birth.
Helllcoso Patsiuns Aroused.
And as a matter of fact, Europe, which
stands in such sore need of peace, teems
with bellicose passions to a far greater ex-
tent than before the war. Nor Is this a
premature Illusion. NVe must bear In mind
that in Russia the war has given birth to
a great revolution, that this revolution has
assumed a markedly hostile attitude to-
wards the democratic powers of Western
Kurope. and America; that In proportion
as the Germans withdraw from tlie ancient
Russian territory, this revolution advances
westward; that Poland is threatened and
after having been under tho yoke of three
military empires for over a century, is now
in danger of being conquered by Bolshe-
vism; that it is quite possible that the
Bolshevist revolution may triumph In at
least parts of Germany and Prussia itself.
However much the entente powers may
desire to avoid Interfering in the affairs of
the Russian revolutionary movement; how-
ever much they may desire to establish a
sanitary cordon around NVestern Kurope, it
would be imprudent to Ignore the possi- |
bllity of this cordon being broken and of
the entente powers being forced to inter-
vene in order to defend tne work they have
accomplished and the very foundations of
peace In Kurope.
Problem Terribly Difficult.
Could they, for instance, allow Poland to
be overwhelmed by Bolshevism at the very
moment when they are attempting to estab-
lish her as an Independent demo racy?
Kurope is confronted with the task of
restoring peace to the world at the very
moment when she Is seething with war-
like pulsions and when, after crushing Ger-
manism, she may be forced to battle with
gclal revolution.
The problem is terribly difficult.
What are the members of the peace con-
gress to do? Are they to follow the ex-
ample "f mathematicians by regarding the
problem as solved and frame definite peace
terms as if tlie league of nations were al-
ready existent and they had every assur-
ance that it would work without a hitch?
or nr»- they to act as if the league's suc-
cess were still uncertain and the danger
of war still Imminent V The contradiction
is obvious and in future articles we shall
study what influence both this and other
difficulties whb-h we have analyzed are
likely to have on the peace discussions.

Bj- far the most significant feature of the
day s hearing, however, was a decision by
the committee not to permit witnesses
hereafter to drag into the record the names
of prominent Americans who, in the mere
opinion of such witnesses, might have hud
some pro-German connections.
The committee made this ruling after
Archibald '<• Stevenson, formerly connected
with the Department of Justice and more
recently with the military intelligence, had
made tlie statement that Mayor Hylan of
New York was a member or an advisory
board which was appointed in 101." to ar-
range for the establishment of a daily
newspaper in New York, presumably
the Interests of German prop
Stevenson admitted that those
the German propaganda mad ■ free use of
the names of American citizens whom they
thought might be friendly to the German
cause, generally without their knowledge
or consent. Ho said there was nothing to
show that Judge Hylan knew that his
name was being ho used.
This called forth a vigorous protest
from Senator Overman, chairman of the
committee, who declared It was about time
that the dragging in of names of reputable
citizens In such manner was stopped.
Stevenson told of the organization of n
mass meeting called by the Friends of
Peace in New York City June 24, 1015,
which was attended by William Jennings
Bryan and Richard Bartholdt, a Missouri
Congressman, among others. He said the
meeting was gotten up by a number of or-
ganizations but asserted that Dr. Albert
T'uelir, the chief ot the German propagand-
ists, was the moving spirit in the organi-
zation.
"You don't mean to say that Mr. Bryan
was instigated by any German influence,
do you?" inquired Senator overman.
"No, but the way the German propa-
gandists worked was to get hold of men
of standing in every community and enlist-
ing their sympathies without letting them
know the real purpose behind it," Steven-
son said.
The testimony concerning the work of
the*bomb plotters was given by Thomas
J. Tunney, an inspector in the New York
police department, who since the declara-
tion of war, lias been assigned to the mili-
tary Intelligence bureau.
An interesting portion of his statement
had to do with th eactivlties of Leon
Trotzky 111 New York just before he sailed
for Russia to Join Lenlne In the Bolshevik
movement. Trotzky was an intimate as-
sociate of Kinma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman, the witness said. On the eve-
ning of March 20, Uil7. just before leaving
this country, Trotzky called a mass meet-
ing at the Harlem River Casino, which
was attended by about 1.000 persons, most
of whom were anarchists, Tunney said.
Trotzky spoke In Russian and German,
stating that he was going back to over-
throw the provisional government and stop
the war against Germany and to see to
It that other countries did not fight Rus-
sia.
Tunney said that In closing his speech
Trotzky advised the assembled anarchists
to keep their organization together "until
you overthrow this damned rotten capital-
istic government."
There were about twenty Russians In th*
party which sailed with Trotzky, among
them being two newspaper men, Tunney
continued; one of these was William Schat-
toff, who was made commissioner of rail-
roads under the Lenlue-Trotzky regime,
and lately has been made chief execution-
er.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
brought out the fact that since the armis-
tice was signed the anarchistic societies
in New York City are still holding meet-
ings and attempting to circulate propa-
ganda.
Tunney strongly urged the continuation
of the espionage act or something similar
to it for the adequate punishment of those
who plot against the I nited States.
STEEL SHIPYARDS CLOSED

NEW ORGANIZATIONS FORMED AT
CONFERENCE OF FARMERS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
With W. G. Hand as president and O. II.
Roll!iih. secretary, the Cummunit.v I arm-
els' organization was formed Tuesday aft-
ernoon at a meeting of Bexar County
farmers held at the Chamber of Commerce.
i ho purpose of the meeting was to dis-
cuss details of the campaign of presenting
to the farmers of Bexar < . mty sale farm-
ing plans for the year 1010. and also to
discuss the practicability of securing u
cotton classer who would be stationed in
San Antonio. This put to a vote resulted
in the unanimous decision by the farmers
to secure a cotton classer4 although owing
to lack of time, It was decided to make
final arrangements for his appointment at
be held In the near
called meeting to
future.
A great deal of enthusiasm was shown
at the gathering although the inclement
weather and the presence of influenza in
some parts of the county prevented a
number of the farmers from attending.
An Interesting paper from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Washington was
read, stressing the advisability of a well
balanced agricultural system, saying that
"the safety and security of the Southern
people depends greatly upon the produc-
tion of the food necessary to feed th*
people in ample abundance; upon a rea
sonable live stock lndu.-Zry, to balance the
farming by economizing labor and con
suming otherwise waste products and upon
, a sufficiently diversified cropping system,
agaHoists, j to guarantee an increase in place of a de-
lirec ting | creasing soli fertility."
Home gardens were strongly advocated
at the meeting and it was declared tha*
every family should have a home garden
to supply the home needs for the maximum
number of days in a year, with sufficient
surplus to be canned, stored or dried
for future use, and In addition to the home
garden, the raising of poultry was urged.
It was pointed out that * farmers art-
being organized throughout the country
and that It was time for Bexar County
farmers to organize anil co-operate as It
was vital to their Interests to do so.
At the meeting a resolution was adopted
that copies of the message from the De-
partment of Agriculture be sent to the
teachers of the county schools who in
turn would bo asked to read It to their
pupils not later than Friday. The hope
was also expressed by the organization
that parents of the children would attenu
the reading. It also was announced that
county chairmen of the Council of De-
fense would, where possible, hold meetings
to present the farming plans f<>r 1910.

BIG COTTON, MARKETING AND
FINANCING AGENCY FLANNED
By Associated Pres.
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—A $12,(KM),000
cotton corporation Is in process of forma-
tion by farmers and others interested in
the cotton industry, according to a state-
ment here tonight by J. J. Brown, com-
missioner of agriculture of Georgia. Mr.
Brow n's statement followed a meeting here
Monday between himself, Daniel J. Sully
and farmers of Georgia and South Caro-
lina.
As described by Mr. Brown, the corpora-
tion will serve as a marketing and financ-
ing agency—a medium between the pro-
ducer and the spinner of cotton, it will
provide a cotton exchange for the farmers
of the Southeastern belt and will eventu-
ally stop short speculative selling on the
cotton exchanges, lie said. The directors
will lease, buy or build warehouses, in
which farmers may store their cotton for a
small charge. If It. is necessary, money
will be advanced on the cotton until such
time as the market price reaches the fig-
ure set by the owner.
The corporation will embrace the entire
cotton States in its activity, but will bo
chartered In Georgia, with headquarters
probably In Atlanta.
Mr. Sully, who Is widely known as an
operator on cotton exchange floors, prob-
ably will act as chief adviser of the or-
ganization, it is said.

unanimity on the principle that Germany
should be assessed to the full limit of her
capacity for the wanton destruction which
rightfully can be charged against her.
But there Is a wide difference of opinion
as to the amount which can be exacted
without draining the economic lifeblood of
the nation and making it not only impos-
sible to recuperate within a reasonable
period of time but making it impossible
to continue payments at all.
The difference in the unofficial estimates
of the allied nations and the estimates of
American financiers is so wide that it Is
more than probable the conference will be
forced to select an interallied financial
commission for the purpose of thoroughly
considering the bills against Germany
which the allies have to present, and then
considering the extent to which the pres-
ent and prospective resources of Germany
are capable of standing the strain of these
demands.
France's bill is estimated at $68,000,-
000.000.
Britain's $24,000,000,000.
Italy's $20,000,000,000.
Belgium's $10,000,000,000.
Serbia's $5,000,000,000.
Rumania's $5,000,000,000.
The total maximum claims approximate
$150,000,000,000. That does not include
America's claims, If she makes any.
The difficulty is that some financiers
who have given careful consideration to
the question do not believe Germany can [
take care of any such vast sum and they
have voiced the opinion that If so great a !
sum be exacted, the levy would result In I
Germany's economic ruin.
Financiers who advanced this view are j
by no means disposed to be lenient with i
(ierinany. They desire that she shall be 1
made to pay as much as she can bear, but 1
they hold, at the same time, that to assess
her more than she can bear would be a
mistake from the allied viewpoint.
Such action, they say, would disrupt the
economic life of Germany and add fuel to
the flames of terrorism, already a serious
menace in the central countries.
Some estimates of American financiers
as to the amount of debt Germany could
absorb are absurdly at variance with the
ideas of the British and French and will
be bitterly contested by both these nations.
In defense of these estimates those who
think they would represent a proper and
safe exaction say the ability of America
and (ireat Britain to raise enormous loans
without serious economic disturbance must
not be confused with payments which
would take money out of Germany. These
financiers say no matter what Indemnity
asked of Germany shall be. if it runs over
$10,000,000,000, the United States and other
countries must loan raw materials, mak-
ing these the bards of bankers exchange.
To pay the Indemnity they say (ierinany
must be allowed to produce. She cannot
produce unless she Is furnished raw ma-
terials.

LOWERING OF HOG PRICES
| P.V A undated Pre**.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. .Tan. 21. -Frank S.
I Snyder, head of the Food Administration's
meat division, said today that despite a
hog surplus he would not recommend aban-
donment of the price agreement policy
when the hog committee meets January

The present surplus. Mr. Snyder pre-
dicted, would turn Into a definite deficit
this year. He said the pendulum would
swing within three moiyths if Europe
could get the money and ships to take Its
requirements.
Cnder the price agreement policy the
basic price of hogs was maintained in
October at $18..V) and at $17.:»0 during the

This Is one paradox. Another is that

Mr. Hoover was defended by Senator

censorship lifted before the associated

them so long to catch, there might be a re-

from the disposition of these under allied

The witness accused the Postmaster Gen
eral. Theodore N. Vail, and Neweomb Carl-
ton. president of the Western Union Com-
pany, of seeking "to consolidate all tele,
graph, telephone and possibly cable lines
Into one huge monopoly." and said there
is no good reason why all the lines should
not be turned back at once and the loss
now sustained by the Government in their
operation stopped.
"The idea that a great consolidation
and the wiping out of competition and the
grant of subsidies for new cables will
confer great benefits upon the American
public. Is put forward to deceive. Such
a combination would impose a hardship
upon the public without giving It a single
advantage." the witness declared.
Mr. Reynolds said that Postmaster Gen-

Postal official because he sought to prevent
Mr. Burleson's plan for combination of
