THE DANGER OVER.
The Alarming Situation ut Chippewa
Falls Has Disappeared

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec 3.-''The
river is falling ut the rate of IL foot IL day
and there is no reason whatever for ap.
prehensiOn," said Col. w. A. Jones. L.
:. army, to an Associated Press represen-
tative this afternoon after he had put in
busy day visiting the situation along
the Chippewa river. Col. Jones, who is
in charge of the Government engineering
works in the Northwest had been called
here by the local authorities, who sought
expert advice in what seemed like an ex.
tremity end 1t critical situation He con
tinued:
The situation of the river mt Eau
Claire and Ut Chippewa Falls is practi-
cally the same and the stage of water at
Eau Claire is really the stage of the river,
rs the flood here is simply caused by the
5ack water. Most of the water is able to
get away under the ice and the back wa
ter represents the amount of water that
is unable to get away. As the stage of
the river goes down more of this water
Will flow away under the ice and the flood
here will soon be over. The gorge extends
about eighteen miles and is made mp
largely of anchor-ice, which is IA sort of
slush packed closely but not hard as ordi-
nary ice. Under this the river is running
in somewhat cramped quarters and rs the
water falls more. the ice will drop down
into the river bed where it is likely to
stay until spring, the water still running
along under the mass of ice. There seems
no reason to apprehcnd any danger. The
course of the river will be changed
slightly, but as far rs that goes it is con-
stantly changing anyway | can see no
cause for further fear of damage here
Col Jones will visit Eau Claire and
look into the situation further to.mor-
row, but this expresses his idea of the
situation here and along the river.

RETAL1ATING on GERMANY.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The President
has issued proclamation suspcndng,
after january. operations of the action
which relieves German vessels entering
United States ports from the payment of
tonnage dues and other shipping charges
This action WAS taken upon proof that
American vessels are denied correspond
ing privileges in German ports. The
President action doubtless will arouse
widespread interest in shipping circles.
The proclamation will 90 into effect the
morning OF January third, after which
date the vessels OF Germany entering our
ports must pay shipping charges ranging
on sliding scale of from six to thirty
cents per ton per annum.
