STATES FACES WAR CRISIS;
IMPOSSIBLE TO SUBMIT TO TEUTONC POLICY;
May Be DRAWN into The CONFLICT
OF ARMED MERCHANTMEN
"REVOLTING TO EVERY INSTINCT OF
HUMANITY, LAW AND JUSTICE"
CBy International News Service.)

WASHINGTON, Feb 18.-A solemn warning
that the United States may be drawn into the pres
ent European war if the government approves the
new submarine policy of Germany, was sounded
on the floor of the senate today.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, declared in
no uncertain terms: "Oernany'S intention to tor
pedO armed merchantmen after March first is re-
voting to every instinct of humanity, law and JUS
tce." 1t is understood the acceptance OF the leu
tonic viewpoint by the United States would be con-
Sldered as an unneutral act and place this country
sQuarely on the side of Germany as her active ally.
Senator Lodge is the ranking Republican mem
Der of the foreign relations committee He further
stated, 'the administration must stand firm in its
determination to uphold the right of merchantmen
to arm themselves for defensive purposes.
1t is understood that Germany may attempt to
force the hand of the United States by torpedOing
merchantmen with American passengers aboard,
before any definite agreement is reached between
the two countries.
Officials regard the SuppositiOn as rather inn
probable, but are giving it much thought. The
matter can hardly be settled before March first and
anxiety among administration circles is rapidly
growing. There is no indication that Great Britain
does not expect to stand firmly by her intention of
keeping all merchant vessels armed
The ensuing deadlock brings to a head the grav-
est crisis yet faced by the United States since the
great struggle began. Unless some unexpected de
Ivelopment appears to clarity the trouble Washing
ton fears drastic complications

WILL FORECAST EGG
OUTPUT OF BULLETS
waiter Hogan viii Predict Number
OF Eggs TO BE Laid by Each of
1900 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Uncle Sam

Early in his career as a utility
scorer of pullets, Walter Hogan of
Petaiuma, Cal, was called upon by
uncle Sam to give proof that the
claims made by him through the
mails were conservative and made
good with a vengeance. Mr.. Hogan
mad claimed that he could forecast,
through his method Of scoring. very
close to the actual number of eggs
10 be laid by any pullet in a given
length of time. Uncle Sam Won
dered at the audacity of a man who
would make such a claim and to set
tie the argument test was made at
the Minnesota experiment station.
The results satisfied the government
that Mr.. Hogan could do all that be
claimed and more. and proved to the
world that the utility scoring of pull
let's gave promise of the opening of
a new and important epoch in the
poultry industry.
Mr.. Hogan is now in Pullman
and will be the guest of the college
until October 10. He is here to lee
ture to the poultry classes and to
Judge the birds entered in the egg
laying contest held under the direc-
ton of the department of poultry
husbandry. Mr.. Hogan's success in
picking the best layers is famous
wherever poultry is talked. He has
inaugurated a method of judging
that is recognized by poultry experts,
although the coming contest to be
held at the college is the first official
test to be made on a large scale, and
will be watched with unusual in
terest.
Mr. Hogan will handle each of the
1900 birds expected to be entered
and will predict the number of eggs
each will lay during the time of the
contest, which will extend for a per-
iod of one year from the opening
date.

Ill-COLLEGE SUNDAY

President Holland Commends

Next Sunday is to be all-college
Aav in the churches. That means
that every college man or woman.
+eacher or student, receives a cordial
and urgent invitation to be present
Of the church services. The pastors
are all making special preparations
for the day and the prospects are
that every church will be crowded to
tts capacity. With more than 1900
sfndents and faculty members as
notential audience, the day ought to
no one of great inspiration for the
town and campus. When told of the
ARRANGEMENTS being made, President
Holland said, Il am glad to learn
that Sunday, October 8, has been an
nounced as all-college Sunday. de-
sire to commend most heartily this
cooperative plan on the part of the
pastors of the Pullman churches and
the Christian associations of the col
lege. Our institution can do a great
deal for the young men and women
In attendance here, but it can not do
everything. Any young man or
woman who fails to make use of
the opportunity to come in vital
touch with the religious work of the
college and the city is making a SER
ious mistake. We think of college
men and women as potential leaders
in their respective communities after
graduation. These young people can
not become and remain such leaders
unless they are able to touch the re-
lgious life of the community in
which they make their home or fol-
low their profession. l sincerely
hope that every young man and
woman will attend some church on
Sunday, October g."

nouncements for the various

In regard to the money for indi-

mended that credit be provided for

persons who are not really in need of

Commissioner Manchester replied
that the amounts given by the county
were none too much and that occa-
sionally he had paid out of his own

amounts given by the county.

wants the whole county for the priv

much benefit to him as to anyone

just such a course, and they do more
than anyone else toward holding up
