PRESIDENT SPEAKS
At DES MONIES
Asks if the People Are Satisfied to
Have Him Able Only to Write
Notes to Lawbreakers.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 2.-"Do you
want the situation to be such that all
the president can do is to write mes
sages and utter words of protest?"
asked President Wilson here last
night in advocating preparedness be-
fore the largest audience of his pres
ent trip.
why, to ask that question is to
answer it," he said.
Law Violated.
whenever international law is
violated by one or the other belliger-
ents," the president said, America
is called upon to register a voice Of
protest of insistence.
do you want the situation to be
such that all the president can do is
to write messages and utter words of
protest? If these breaches of inter-
national law which are in daily dan
ger. of occurring should touch the
very honor of the United States, do
you wish to do nothing about it? Dc
you wish to have all the world say
that the flag of the United States that
we have can be stained with impuni-
ty? Why, to ask that question is tc
answer it.
Not Peace at Any Price.
aI know there is not man OF
woman within the hearing of my
voice who would wish peace at the
expense of the honor of the United
States
Topeka, Kans., Feb. 2.-The presi-
dents party arrived here at ten
o'clock this morning. J..

DISPOSITION OF !.
APPAM BRINGS UP
NOVEL PROBLEM
State Department Investigates Situa-
ton; Prisoners May Be
Released.
IF DECLARED PRIZE
MATTER MORE COMPLEX
Next Lusitania Move is Up to United
States, Says Berlin
Dispatch.
IF DECLARED PRIZE
MATTER MORE COMPLEX

Washington. Feb. 2.-Until it is
decided whether the German COM
mander aboard the British steamer
Appam brought the ship to an Amer
lean port as a prize or as a converted
auxiliary cruiser of the German navy,
there will be no determination of the
American governments course re-
specting the ship.
Release Prisoners.
When certain formalities have been
complied with, the ships passengers,
including several British colonial Of
ficials, will be released and their dis
position passed on by immigration au-
thorities. Any prisoners of war will
be released, because international law
permits of no holding of war pris-
oners in neutral country.
To Intern Officers.
The United States, then, finally
will have to deal with the German
crew under Lieut.. Berge, and if they
are accounted in the navy service of
Germany, as were the crews of the
PrinZ Eitel Frederick and the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm, already interned at
the Norfolk navy yards, they, too,
will be interned unless the ship goes
to sea to run the Gordon of British
cruisers outside.
New Problem.
AS to the disposition of the Appam
herself, if she is held to be an auxili-
ary cruiser, the commander will have
the option of putting to sea after
certain time to make repairs and take
provisions. And if she is declared
prize the situation becomes more
complex, and in that event it is ad-
mitted that the United States will
have to deal with probably the most
novel question concerning it's neut-
rality that-has arisen during the war
AS one of the first steps that prob
lem probably would be referred to
the neutrality board The boards
findings, while merely advisory, have
weight with the state department.
Up to President.
Berlin, Feb. 2.-It was semi-of11-
cially stated that President Wilson
must make the next move in the Lusi-
tania deadlock solution. German
American controversy depends upon
his action.
Was Not Attacked.
London, Feb. 2.-Newspapers to-
day charge that the Zeppelins' raid
Monday was ineffective. It was de-
MED that Liverpool was attacked as
was reported in Berlin.

GROUND HOG SEES
SHADOW; MORE COLD

Last evening Mr.. Ground Hog was
snugly resting in his hole in the
ground. This morning, however, he
opened his eyes, stretched himself
and went out into the open for
look around. He saw his shadow,
concluded that the worst of the win
ter was not over, and went back for
another six weeks sleep:
Today is Ground Hog today and
according to popular superstition is
a barometer for the remainder of the
winter. The Ground Hog, seeing his
shadow today, means that there will
be six more weeks Of winter weather.

regular monthly meeting at the N.Y.

'The matter is still in it's in
fancy" said one of the members to
a Pioneer representative. 1T is Just
talk. We do, however, expect to get
the members of the school boards of
the other districts together in the
near future and take some action
in regard to the matter.
Action Necessary.
"Action of some kind is necessary.
We believe that the three districts
should be consolidated and new
school building erected. The new
district would mean that all the
children would receive the benefit of
having a modern school.

anymore has aOout 23O school
children and the schools are crowd

we are using the Congregational

Gus condition on account of Nymore
not securing the $3.50 state aid.''

DULUTH DEATH RATE
LOWEST IN COUNTRY

Duluth, Minn, Feb. 2.---puluth
claims the lowest death rate of any
city of 10000 population. Mortality
statistics for 1915 just completed,
show a rate of 1902 per thousand.
Excluding non-residents who died in
local hospitals it would be S.28. Ex-
Guiding still born babies it would be-
9.19. Excluding both it would be

Co.'S 81 >AsoLlNE
AND i. ~ ~EEPS MANY
AUTO o.. -, AT HOME

Cleveland, O., = fl2.-Be-
cause of the high price of,
gasoline here-2O to % cents
per gallon, retail--many own
ers of automobiles are stor-
ing their cars. Some have not
taken out their 1916 licen-
ses, dealers and garage men
say. Tires and tubings have
also cost more. The increased
cost of gasoline is explained
by dealers here as due to the
fact that but one-sixteenth
more crude oil was produced
in 1915 than in 1914, while
27 per cent more internal
motive power was in opera
tion. However, government
reports show that there is
more crude oil above ground
now than ever before.

Record Pig Iron Output.

1t was i'll October, 1915, that the
output of pig iron first reached
5000, 900 tons, and last month all
previous records were surpassed
with a total of 3, sos 1874 tons, ac-
cording to the Iron Age. This ex-
ceeds the former highwater mark
touched last May, by approximate
ly 10000 tons, ard allowing 400,
900 tons for charcoal iron, the pro-
duction has attained the remark
abb rate of al 1000. 900 tons yearly.
There were two less furnaces active
on November 1st than a month
earlier-326 against 328-but the
leading trade journal states that
the large steel companies, partic
ularly in the Pittsburg and Chica-
go districts strained for great out
puts, and were unhampered by the
coke shortage which affected some
of the merchant stacks.
In view of the recent noteworthy
expansion of new buying, the great
iron production last month was
highly opportune, as the Iron Age
points out. The demand within
the last few weeks has broadened
in a striking way and the rise of
prices continues apace, regular list
quotations showing an advance in
every instance this week. Exist
ing conditions are without par
allel and a good many sellers have
Withdrawn from the market, es-
peciaIly on business for the second
quarter of next year. The situa-
ton in finished steel lines presents
similar characteristics, while the
minor metals are participating in
the extraordinary movement, and
copper and spelter and tin were in
cluded among the advance in this
quarter during the week. In the
case of copper, present prices are
up more than IL cents PER pound
from last year.
