Oklahoma and a number of other states. Officials have gathered evidence that in Kansas. Iowa and Oregon, illegal manufacture is on the increase. The campaign now planned is the result of a special canvass of dry states started several months ago by direction of Commissioner Roper. Vr. experienced revenue agent was sent to confer with the governors of dry states and to gather evidence of uncurbed liquor manufacture in those states. The governors were told that the force of the federal in-spectors is inadequate to ferret out the thousands of hidden stills and obtain evidence on which to base prosecution. The task was made par-ticularly difficult because the scheme of giving bonuses to informants on Illicit stills has been abandoned. The open refusal or itl-<concealed refusal of many county sheriffs and other local officials to assist govern-ment agents In running down moon-shiners was a factor in causing Com-missioner Roper to announce the open campaign. In North Carolina fifty-four of the 100 counties are known as "good moonshine territory,'' and nearly 700 stills have been seized and destroyed in a year. Conditions are reported bad in Henderson, Polk..Wilkes, Or-ange. Johnston, Transylvania, Alex-ander, Vadkin, McDowell, Burke and Wake. In a number of counties in the western part of the state it was said local officials refused to give I proper assistance to government agents and intimated that they were I friendly to the moonshiners. Pickens and Horrey. counties, of South Carolina, wereS-eported Iocali- | ties where illicit distilling has flour-ished, and which government agents are -watching closely. In most north-western counties, stills are said to be operated on rather large scale and moonshiners take their product to camps in that state.. They either sell the liquor themselves or gPv^ it to, their agents, who dispose of It to-sol-diers. Laxity of a number of county officials In South Carolina also was reported. Almost 600 stills have been diacov- IICK could have been avoided h there been such places where men porting at a camp could Le kept fou teen days. While he said men shoul be dressed in warm clothing, th1 generald told the committee he d not consider clothing shortage as an important _ factor in the pneumonT^ epidemic, explaining that control «£ avoidance of the germ was the pr cipal.point to be considered. Gen. Grogas said he did not authority and had not* been i fered with. He said he was not suited in the selection of ean*p^__ r but that with the exception of Camp Funston, Kansas, all were admirably located from a sanitation standpoint. Hospital plans are drawn by his de-partment, he said, but that under a plan of decentralization he had noth-ing to do with selecting the place in camps where hospitals are located. Hospital Ship. Questioned about hospital ship Gen. Gorgas said the question had bee* taken up by him seven or eight months, ago and that he was expect-ing a decision every day. It will take from two to three months, he said, to refit a transport for use as a hos-pital ship.. The general described the exten-sive plans being made for army hos-pitals outside the camps. Army Surgeons the Best. The 14,000 physicians in the ser-vice, he declared, are. ample to take care of the men now under arms. He Baid the army had the "cream" of the profession. Of the new physiological board which is studying qualifications of officers and men, the general said he had little confidence in the system when first undertaken, but now r*J garded it a really efficient asset to the department.

Jan 26.—Load-eu with war supplies for the Italian army some of them highly, inflam-mable, a tan thousand-ton American munition steamship, armed force and aft. and making ready to sail caught j shortly' before 2 A'clock this after-noon while tied up at her pier. I Among the cargo are several hun-dred barrels of glycerine and ben-zine, tons _of \tar paper," army-blank-ets and other supplies. Fire boats deluged the big ship an 1 more dam-age was d/one by water than by fire. Theloss is not yet computed, but will be heavy. United States officers are tonight investigating the cause. Petrograd, Jan. 26.—Major Gen-eral Bonch-Bruevitch, chief of staff at the Russian front, paints a gloomy-picture cf the condition of the Rus-sian armies in a report to Ensign Krylenko. the commander in chief. The army organizations are utterly demoralized, he says', the officers are inexperienced, and the maintenance of discipline is impossible. The only possible salvation for the army, the only chance for offering an effective resistance, he declares, is for the var-ious sections of the armies to fall back to their natural nefenses and undergo a thorough reorganization of the units under trained leaders. Many parts of the western front are entirely open. General Bonch- Bruevitch reports, at numerous places there being only 240 infantry-men to the mile. The reserves are refusing to relieve the men in the trenches and the soldiers are desert-ing in masses. Communications are rbroken and few horses are aviiable. 'ine wire entanglements have been destroyed to facilitate fraternizing and the exchange of commodities with the German armies. At many points, adds the chief of staff, fortified' points have been de-stroyed, making resistance utterly impossible on the lines as a; present located even with good troops. Var-ious branches of the staffs must soon cease work, he declared, because of the disordered conditions, and the economic life of the army will thus be ruined. new declaration of Germany's war-like purposes in the chancellor's speech. Simultaneously a report is current that the Bolshevik! government in Russia has decided to-continue the Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations and another, quite unverified, that Aus-tria is prepared to make a peace with Russia independently from Ger-many. The peace note in Germany was sounded by Phillipp Scheidemann, the Socialist leader, who in his re-marks following Chancellor Von Hertllng's speech pleaded for peace before spring came with its renewed bloodshed. Regarding Russia, however, Scheidemann's speech was more than a plea, it was a warning that the mil* itary leaders of the imperial govern-ment would be "hurled from power" if they did not bring about peace with Russia. Basis in Wilson Speech. Scheidemann insisted that there was ground for a general peace on the basis of the program laid down by President Wilson, on eleven points of which an agreement was easily possible. He was as uncom-promising as Chancellor Von Hert-ling. however, as regards Alsace- Lorraine, declaring this territory must remain German. Scheidemann's words comprise, perhaps the most radical utterance that *as yet come from his wing of the pasty in the reichstag the major-ity of moderate Socialist. In the for-eign press comment on the speech of Chancellor Van Hertling. however, it has been po'inrea ont that there is as yet no sign of acknowledgment on the part of the German government of any responsibility to parliament replies te the peace terms of the al-lies and the United SUtes as recently enunciated by David Lloyd-George and President Wilson. t Although both affect to see .he possibility of coming into agreement with their enemies on minor points, the concrete basis essential to peace are declared to be unacceptable. Against Wilson. The German spokesman was un-* compromieingly hostile to a majority of the peace aims as put forward br President Wilson, treating seriatim in his address those upon which Ger-many coul£ not come into accord. Count Czernin was more moderate in his statement of President Wilson's ideas, declaring the president's view-point, expressed in his latest address to Congress, showed that there waa less incompatibility between Austria- Hungary and the United States than had seemed the case. Restoration of Belgium. From the German standpoint, ac-cording to Von Hartling, the restora-tion to France of Alsace-iLorraine is beyond the realm of discussion. Re-garding Belgium, he declared that its restorations could be settled only in peace negotiations, but that Germany never had demanded the incorpora-tion of Belgium territory "by vio-lence." Likewise, methods of pro-cedure in the evacuation of northern France must take account of Ger many's vital Interests and be agreed upon between Germany and France. Fate of Poland and Balkans. The chancellor said the fate of PC; land and the Balkans and the read-justment of the Italian -frontier He* with Austria, while the evacuation Of Russian territory concerns only Rus-sia and the central powers. Get-and that to all appearances the mil- I many, he added, considered that the itary party Is still in full control and determined to maintain its grip up-on the situation. Cossacks Against Kaledines. The Bolsheviki are taking even more energetic action against Gen-eral Kaledines and "now report an organization of Cossacks from the front into a congress Which has de-clared war on the Cossack chieftain, driven him and his staff from their headquarters and announces its pur-pose of hunting him down. On War Fronts. In the military situation .there have been no developments of note. Artillery duels at isolated points, oc-casional raids and plentiful airplane reconnoitering are reported.. The French aerial activity has been some-what marked, the official statements mentioning exactly successful photo-graphic work carried out to a dis-tance of nearly twenty miles behind the German lines. integrity of Turkey and i he safety of' its capital were closely connected with the question of the Dardanelles, which was of vital interest to Ger-many. With regard to Russia. Count Czernin said Austria-Hungary desir-ed no annexations or indemnities— "not a meter of territory, not a kreutzer of indemnity"—and that Russia could have peace if she main-tained the same standpoint, as shs evidently intended to do. Starting Place For Discussion? Both Count Von Hertling and Count Czernin thought it obvious that the exchange of peace views with the United States might form the starting point for a conciliatory discussion among all the states which had not yet entered the peace negotiations.
