CHICAGO, Jan. 15 Nearly 150,000 men were Idle today in Chicago and near by manufacturing districts, . on account of a fuel shortage, caused by the heavy snowfall which demoralized railway traffic last Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Among the industries which were practically at a standstill were three of the largest packing plants in Chicago and many steel mills in the Calumet and Gary districts which are working on government contracts.
Thousands of the packing house em
ployes who were laid off yesterday
were put to shoveling snow in order
that the railway tracks might be cleared sufficiently to admit shipments of coal into the plants today. It was announced that the packers expected to resume during the day, but the situation at the steel mills was said to be more serious and that operations might be suspended for at least two days yet. Chicago and its suburbs have made great strides toward resumption of traffic and transportation. Thousands of school boys, and In many instances school girls, rallied in
response to the call for "snow digging
parties," and as a result the city's main thoroughfares today were reported "ninety percent open" by the street department officials.
SAVE SEED FOR NEXT YEAR
t:
By P. a HOLDEN. 4
HE acreage of grain in the United States during the present year wai
something over 20 per cent mere than tne average yearly acreage our;
lng the previous ten years. But If the United States, her allies and thl
neutral nations are to be fed. it will be necessary for us to increase
our production of these cereals In 1318 over the yield of 1917. The first step toward meeting the duty which will be imposed upon of next year must be taken now, and that is the saving of seed. The high prices for produce last, year resulted In such general marketlnj of grain that last spring there was a serious shortage of seed. This shortage and the high price of seed which resulted, reduced the acreage' which other--wise would have been planted to certain crops. We should endeavor to prevent a repetition of such a condition next spring. We should make every effort possible to Insure a sufficient supply ol seed for planting. Farmers should have their own seed. If possible. This will Insure acj climated seed. Much can be accomplished In the saving and distribution of seed by th co-operation of farmers, county agents and agricultural colleges. Some locallj ties may have a surplus of seed; in neighboring localities there may be a shortage. By working together, the farmer with a surplus can supply hi neighbor who is short. . I

The problem of caring for prisoners
of war is a big one for the allies, who
still- believe In humane treatment. They will not do as the kaiser does drive their captives to work at the slavery tasks until they are worked to
death and they dare not give too much liberty to the prisoners for fear of intrigues and plots. The crews from interned vessels- in the United States are given great freedom at
their places of internment and spend the time carving out miniature merchantmen.
At Rome war prisoners, whether
Austrians, Hungarians or the rarer
Germans, are the subjects of many
bitter complaints and of appeals to the government for stricter treatment. One of the least of their drawbacks Is that they do very little work on the farms and roads which are supposed
to benefit by their labor, while they have all grown fat and sleek from good
reeding.
Italians who have relations in Aus
trian prison camps who are starved and ill-treated note with impatience the liberty given in Italy to prisoners of war, despite a general press cam
paign some time ago. However, Austrian and Hungarion officers are no longer taken to places of amusement. The trouble now is with the rank and file. Refuse to Let Them Work. The press of northern Italy, headed by the Milan Corriere della Sera is ably seconded by the population of those districts nearest to the zone of operations who have refused to have any more war prisoners on their land and row employ refugees from the recently invaded provinces. " In many farm and country districts the prisoners are actually doing anti-war propaganda, working harder at it than with pick, shovel or plough. Many of them knew some Italian when they arrived; nearly all have picked up enough to talk to the peasants; and talk they do. Since the Italians' recent reverses they have talked louder than ever. They read (the Italian papers, which many Italian peasants cannot do, then expound their' supposed contents to the villagers, noting how had it is to make war against Germany and foretelling that the Austrians will very
soon invade their village if the war goes on. The Corriere della Sera gives chapter and verse with these reports, stating names of villages and prisoners and their temporary employers. Treated as Princes Here. England and France have had similar trouble with German prisoners and in this country there has been loud outcry against the princely treatment accorded them. There are only a few in the .United States, comparatively speaking, our prisoner population being limited to the crews of interned German ships. At Fort McPherson, Ga., where a number of the crew of the Eitel Friedrich are interned, the sailors spend most of their time at. play. Four of them have constructed a miniature replica of a United States merchantman, carving it for the most part out of wood. In the photo one of the Germans may be noted attaching an American flag to the stern of the vessel. The old sailor on the right in the photo has carved a full-rigged schooner from a block of wood.
AMSTERDAM. Jan. 15. The death

Jack McAullffe. Jack McAuliff. the old-time lightweight champion and the only titleholder who ever retired undefeated ind had the good sense not to try a
come-back, says that he can show any vet of the game how to regain the form of his hey-day and battle the best
of the youngsters in the ring today.
McAullffe proposes to establish a school for retired fighters and to train
and condition them for a return to the ring. He declares that he has de
veloped a hysteni that will make a man as strong and lively as in his
younger days.
It may be, says McAullffe, that the old men will not be able to go all the way through ten or fifteen rounds, but
they will be fit for a fine showing in short bouts of four rounds or even six. Four-round bouts arc now prospering and are a great hit on the coast The system McAullffe uses is largely made up of deep breathing, dieting, drinking plenty of water and such exercises as running and boxing and hurdling hedges. These have benefitted McAullffe himself so much that he la inclined to consider a return to the game himself.

New Paris Children Can't go to School NEW PARIS, O , Jan. 15. Monday night's snow here resulted in less than half of the school children being able to attend school, Tuesday. Jefferson township is under the cen
tralized school plan and the eleven school hacks which bring the country children into school were snow bound and could not reach the school.
No severe suffering form the ex
treme cold weather has been felt

PARIS, Jan. 15. The art of camou
flage has developed to a point little
dreamed of by the men who first used it at the front to deceive the enemy by concealing some one man or gun from the foemen. The success of its early, crudf trials led to more ambitious efforts and artists were taken out of the figliti'ig lines to devote their brains and their brushes to its elaboration. The ttrides they have made are remarkable. " Now we see whole batteries of guns protected by camouflage, whole companies of men, big airplane hangars and even roadways concealed from
the enemy, Fer the most part it is the airmen who mu6t be deceived. Hence the camouflage in the upper photograph. An ouUie roadway ever which pass divisions of troops and truck trains of supplies is concealed from the pry
