Clashes In South Africa cited-Per
mitted English to Use Ports.

Berlin, March 11.--Germany dc.
clared war on Portugal at $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon and handed his
passports to the Portuguese minister.
This action was foreshadowed
when a semiofficial report declared
that an ultimatum had been sent to
Portugal demanding the immediate re,
lease of the German ships. The hand.
ing Of his passports to the Portuguese
ambassador in Berlin was given as
the action that would follow a refusal
to comply with the imperial demands.
The declaration enumerates a long
series of breaches of neutrality by
the Portuguese government, such as
the permission of free passage to
English troops through the colony
of Mozambique, the permission given
English men-of-war to use Portuguese
ports for a time exceeding that given
neutrals, and the permission given the
English navy to use Madeira as a
naval base.
Actual engagements between Por.
tuguese and German troops on the
frontier of German Southwest Africa
and Angola and frequent insults to
the German nation by members of
the Portuguese parliament, who were
never reprimanded, are also cited.
The declaration states that, accord
ing to the treaty between the two
nations, the seizure should have been
preceded by an agreement regarding
the price to be paid the owners and
that the seizure was only justiflable
in case of public necessity in Portu.

Hay declared he would favor bring

full war strength instead of greatly in.
creasing the units, as Secretary Gar
rison suggests. He will also insist that
the national guard and not the pro-
posed continental army should be the
subsidiary arm Of the nations military
service.
The Hay plan of bringing the pres
ent regular army up to its authorized
strength would add about $4,000 en-
listed men and about 1900 officers to
the army, making the total strength
then about 100000. The Garrison or

From authoritative sources it was

OIL FAMINE is SEEN
NEW YORK MAGNATE SAYS OUT.

Harry r. Sinclair Wouldn't Be Sur.

Was Quoted at Forty Cents.

New York, Jan. ~. Gasoline
prices will continue to advance: it
wouldn't be surprising il tirst-grade
gasoline was quoted at 40 cents per
gallon within a short time" said
Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil man.
There is really a scarcity of oil at
this time" added SiGclair, "and unless
new fields are opened within a year or
so there may be an oil famine The
output of all the old fields is decreas-
ing gradually, while the demand for
gasoline is increasing every day.
"The Oklahoma oil fields, which are
the largest in the world, show an av-
erage daily decrease of 100000 barrels
in comparison with the output of a
year ago. A barrel of oil averages AZ
gallons of oil or q gallons of gaso-
line. This means that the average
yearly decrease in gasoline production
in Oklahoma alone is 6.250,000 gal
Ions.
Other fields have been affected the
same way as Oklahoma, and ! dare
say that the average decrease in the
gasoline output from all the fields in
the United States is close to three
billion gallons yearly"
HAS the cost of production in

BREAD SCARCE IN GERMANY
Berlin Government Cancels Its An.
nounced Program for Larger Guam
titles of Staff Of Life.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-The German gov
eminent cancelled its announced pro-
gram for the distribution of larger
quantities of bread. II was announced
that the original bread distribution
measures would remain In effect, but
that sufficient bread rations for all
Woodworking persons would be pro-
vided.
According to the Overseas News
agency, the change in the govern.
ment's plan was due to the fact that
investigation showed there must be a
careful use of the bread and corn stock
on hand, whereas the measure increas'
ing the rate had caused the impression
that the supply was superabundant.
