WOMAN TRAVKL TO
KKITAIN 15KKTKH TKU
OTTAWA, Jan. 22.—It is under
stood that in view of tlie increasing
scarcity of food supplies in the United
Kingdom, as evidenced by the recent
proposals for adopting a system, of
rationing, the subcommittee of min
isters who deal with the question of
granting permission for journeys of
women and children to the old coun
try are considering the question of
tightening restrictions against such
travel.
Consideration has been given to the
desirability of declining to accept as
a justification for the journey the rea
son of intended marriage, which has
been heretofore considered sufficient.
It is probable also that permission
will be refused to wives of officers
serving in the Canadian expedition
ary force, who come to Canada with
their husbands on leave to return to
the old country.

equal amount. During the year 126
raids, 25 of them on steamers were1
made. Aberdeen's lines for 1917 were|

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—The asaer
tlon that "there has not been a time
In many years when it has bepn more
Important for the republicans to gain
control of the house of representa
tives." was made today by William
R. Wilcox, chairman of the republi
can national committee, in a state
ment announcing the purpose of the
committee meeting at St. Ix>uis on
February 12.
“The importance of the economic
questions that will come up for solu
tion at the close of the war, or even
before, can not be overstated,” he
said. “The history of the nation in
the last sixty years shows that the
democratic party has never shown
competence, particularly in a crisis,
in dealing with great economic ques
tions of the country. National unity
should be the watchword all along
the line. This does not mean that
there should be any slackening of the
efforts of republicans to elect con
gressmen and senators in the fail elec
tions. The republican party stands for
fealty to the government as no other
political organization ever did or
can.” t

EMPEROR ORDERED BY
GOD TO WIN THE WAR
BRATTLEBORO, Vt.. Jan. 22.—i
Paul Braden, of Windsor, a man of!
draft age. testified at federal trial yes-!
terday of Rev. Charles H. Waldron.!
a Baptist clergyman charged with se
dition. that Waldron had advised him
to resist efforts by the military au
thorities to force him into war service^
even to the point of being shot.
Another witness .said Waldron had
told him Emperor William had been
j ordained by God to win the war. He
\ testified that the minister had said
there was no occasion to oppose the
German emperor as his acts repres
ented the fulfillment of the prophecy
in Revelations regarding the end of
the world.
OREGON TOWN SWEPT
BY AN EARLY EIRE
IONE. Ore., Jan. 22.—Fire which
originated in the Odd Fellows' build
ing here early today wiped out half
of the town’s business section. The
loss was estimated at $40,000. with
$20,000 insurance.
SOME RESTRICTIONS
NOT BEEN MOVED
TACOMA, Jan. 22.—Although the
military ban on Seattle was officially
lifted, it will be necessary for soldiers
who wish to visit Seattle to obtain a
special pass permitting them to go be
yond the twenty-mile circle drawn
about the camp shortly after the ban
was placed on Seattle. It is under
stood, however, that these passes
may be had for the asking where the
men are entitled to first class privil
eges.
The use of the word “suspended”
was interpreted at the camp to mean
that the men would be allowed to vis
it Seattle only so long as that city
remained free from organized vice
and that the ban would be clamped
down again when conditions warrant
ed.
Five feet seven inches of snow cov
ers the ground at Valdez, and it is
still falling. The present snow prom
ises to be a record breaker. The mini
mum temperature during the past
twelve hours was reported as 28
above.
