 New York St2ats Zeitung-While the Staats Zeitung makes no editorial comment on President Wilson's note, it has the following to say, printed in English:
 "Nor is this the time to burden millions of the American people with unjust and unnecessary anguish of mind. The German must suffer in any conflict between the United States and Germany, pains of which their fellow-citizens can ney- CT know anything. It is rather a time for showing them the greatest degree of consideration. They have fought to uphold the flag in the past and they will do so again, against any enemy whatsoever. They deserve the fruits of past loyalty, until they have forfeited the right to claim them. There has never been but one flag un- der which the German-American has fought. There never can be but one flag under which he will ever tight. And that flag is the Stars and Stripes"
 Memphis Commercial Appeal-The time for academic discussion and ve- hement pra agmatism is over. The stand of all Americans now must be square lv behind the president. The declara- tions of Woodrow Wilson, underwrit- ten by 100000 0000 Americans will be more weighty than if they go forward amid a chorus of divergent views.

Big TUNED COMPLETED.
Milwaukee Railway Sends First Trains
Thru Bore In Mountain.

Special to Times. Republican
Chicago. Jan. 15-Officials OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul RAD
way today announced that the Sno-
qualmie tunnel was formally opened
for traffic The first passenger
trains passed thru the tunnel this af-
ternoon. This marks tbs official COM
pletion OF one OF the greatest engin-
eering feats ever performed by man.
Tho Snoqualmie tunnel is q giant hole

tains. According to the announcement
Of Chief Engineer Loweth. the con-
crete lining OF the tunnel was COM
pieted Jan. II, but trains-were no. run
thru until today.
The Snoqualmie tunnel is situated
about forty miles east OF Seattle and
was built entirely by the Chicago NIL
waukee & st. Paul Railway Company.
1t has been called the lucky thnnel'
and Is so known now among employees
Of the railroad. This Is because since
work first started on the big Job back
in 1912 not single human life has
been lost. This Is the first time In the
history of the world that a great pro-
iect OF this kind has been completed
without the loss Of life Officials Of
the road declare the completion OF the
tunnel will eliminate to practically the
vanishing point delay from snow block
AIDES IN the mountains which hereto
fore have been productive OF tremend-
Gus expense and trouble to all trans
portation lines covering them especial
ly during the winter OF 1912 and 1913.
The completion Of the tunnel is de-
clared first to reduce snow troubles s5
per cent. II will also greatly lower the

OF these other undertakings there was

ing the Federal League, or at least in
fluential members OF 1t, Of trying to
come within the pale Of organized
baseball, which the Federals now are
suing as a trust. and others purporting
to show that Federal League contracts
contain equivalent of the ten day and
reserve clauses criticized, were among
two dozen filed today giving the side Of
organized baseball. The proposed terms
of peace, which would have resulted, Il

the Boston Americans. He relates that
the Words, owners of the Brooklyn
Federais, sought peace pact, under
which they would have purchased the
New York Americans, and Charles
Wee2hman. of Chicago, would have
taken over the Chicago Cubs.

A general answer to the Federal
League charges is made In the affidavit

ITO surround 1T with safeguards to

Corn Tumbles With Wheat But De-

Rural Offerings Add to Downward
Tendency-oats Are Lower in Sym
pathy With Wheat.

Chicago, Jan. 16-Selling out OF i'm
mense quantities of wheat TO-DAY
sma shed prices cents a bushel. Ihe
cause was the announcement that an
effort would be made to bring about
thru congress an embargo on the eS-
portation of wheat from the United
States. Much of the selling was or
stop loss character. The paralysis OIL
demand was at times so complete that
1t was impossible to execute orders 10
let go holdings. II was not long, tho,
before strong firms took vigorous
hand at buying and there was reac-
ton of 2h cents. Sensational weak
ness of wheat did not develop at the
outset The opening was down u TO
1h cents. The crumbling of quota
tions. when it did start, however,
showed a swiftness seldom equalled.
Later word of ninety FIVE boatloads
Of wheat having been sold here for
March export. by way of the gulf
helped to lift prices further but the
effect did not last. The close was un-
settled at 21s to SIS cents net decline.
Corn.
Corn tumbled with wheat. The
losses, however. were not severe, being
kept within 11s cents. First sales
were off a shade to Is cent, and on
the upturn the market regained all but
about l cent of the extreme fall.
Offerings coming more freely from
rural sources tended afterward to
cause renewed heaviness in prices
The close, notwithstanding. was steady,
at y to y as cents under last night.
Oats.
Oats sympathized with wheat AT
the worst, nevertheless, the sag In
oats did not exceed i cent.
Provisions.
In provisions an early advance was
more than wiped out. Wheat decline
was held responsible.
