He is going to be a marked man if he resorts to such method to rat his alcohol after the great drought." * The prairies of the state abound In silos wherein the fodder is fermented that cattle may have food. Illinois has far-seeing statesmen in its halls of leg- Islation^and they are on the job. They know lifter July 1 when the country goes dry because of the national food conservation act there will be a mad rush for anything that smacks of alcohol. ' Representative William P.

London, March 8--The negotiations at Spa relating to the shipping question have been temporarily broken off, according to a German wireless message received here. The allies, the German message says, demanded that all the jreihainlnjf, merchant ships be handed over unconditionally without any obligation to supply Germany with foodstuffs. The German message continues: "The question of handing over the mercantile fleet can only arise If adequate food supplies, say 2,500,000 tons of foodstuffs, are assured Germany until the new harvest. The entente would not agree to this. "As the instructions of both sides did not go beyond this, a French delegate proposed that negotiations be broken off, whereupon the two special delegations left Spa." Germany is attempting to win peace through a secret alliance with "hyphenated Americans" and pro-German Dutch and Swiss, the Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette declares on what he says is "high authority.*' The German aids would use their Influence to mitigate as far as possible the severity of the peace terms, according to this plan, Germany in exchange to give commercial privileges of a "substantial kind." The exploitation of Russia for the benefit of Germany and a selected group of international financial backers Is said to be an important part of the alleged scheme, on which the J>olslieVik leaders are declared already to have been approached. At the moment Switzerland is said to be the main center of the intrigue. Paris, March 8.--Germany has refused the proposition for the use of her merchant ships by the allies, made to her delegates at Spa, the armistice commission's headquarters. The counter-proposition is made by the Germans that they will release the Genhan shipping desired in return for a definite assurance that enough food will be sent into Germany to enable the government to withstand. the bolshevik movement.
