MAND MADE BY PRESIDENT
WILSON IN LUSlTANIA
CONTROVERSY.
BREAK IN DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS AGAIN SEEN
Rupture Believed Only Few Days OFF,
by Men Close to Administration
Final Instructions Sent to
Ambassador Bernstorff Do Not
Contain Word "Illegal."

Washington, Feb 5.-Prices in Wal
street and ON the Berlin bourse broke
sharply when Berlin announced that
the kaiser will not disavow the sink
ing of the Lusitania as an illegal act
President Wilson reached Washing
ton at the end of his preparedness
tour Friday afternoon. He went to
the White House without a moments
| delay.
Situation "Unfavorable."
Members of the Presidents party
regarded the situation as ''unfavor-
able" The President would make no
comment. 1t was said he had not yet
finished considering the official dis
patches handed to him on the train.
1t is believed certain the President
knows Germany finally has fatty re-
fused disavowal.
Men close to the administration be-
lieve a break in diplomatic relations
is only few days off.
New Instructions Forwarded.
The new instructions forwarded to
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, according
to reliable information, contains simp-
ly one phrase of the new formulation
of the proposed note of regret for
the sinking of the Lusitania. The sug-
gested sentence is short, consisting of
only eight words, and does not con-
tain the word Illegal" 1t represents
the extreme limit of Germany's con-
~, 7 10
The view is entertained here that
one of the most serious crises of the
war has arisen in connection with the
Lusitania case and that it is impos-
sible to foresee the outcome. The re-
suit of the negotiations appear to
hinge solely on fhe one word illegal"
For Loss of American Lives.
In the way of an agreement between
the United States and Germany stand |
only these seven letters, expressing |
The conception which President Will |
son and Secretary Lansing insist must |
be embodied in the German formula
regret for the loss of Amer !
can lives aboard the Cunarder.
Virtually no other difficulties in the
way of settlement remain and the new
Instructions forwarded to Ambassador
ION Bernstorff contain merely the
lew formula by which it is hoped
o satisfy Washington without humili-
ting this country. Although the sug-
rested sentence. according to a re-
liable version, consists of only eight
words and does not contain TIE word
Illegal" or characterize the sinking
f the Lusitania as such, it goes to
therwise the furthest extent possible
oward meeting American desires.

1t has been established that the
first burst of flames in the reading

preceded by at least one explosion
and probably by two.
The force of the conclusion was so
severe that persons standing some
distance away were hurled to the
floor.
A rigid investigation to determine
the cause of the fire already has been
by the Dominion authori-

iron was affected by the addition OF
wrought iron in the following proper
tions: With 100 parts of cast iron 10
parts of wrought iron increases the
strength per cent; 20 parts OF
wrought iron increases the strength
80 per cent; 30 parts of wrought iron
increases the strength 60 per cent; 40
parts OF wrought iron increases the
strength only 33 per cent. The max

Rabies Not Limited to Any Season.

Rabies Not Limited 20 Any Season.
According to DR.. O. Mcdaniel, Dog
Days" do not influence the occurrence
OF rabies. The important point, how.
ever, is that anyone bitten by q dog
suspected Of being rabid, regardless
Of the season of the year, should re-
ceive proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two
weeks II 1t remains well, rabies Is
excluded. II 1t becomes sick or dies.
the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department of the State
Board of Health, and the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies is usually fatal to dogs in
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed. Individuals
bitten by rabid dogs, unless under
treatment, become sick In from five
to nine weeks. The popular belief
that individuals may develop symp-
toms several months or years later
is as false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.

Tigers and Rhinoceroses in
Nebraska

Could the traveller in Nebraska re-
store the landscape of late Tertiary
time, he would find himself surrounded
by scenes greatly different from those
of the present. The swampy lowlands
were covered with vegetation similar
to that now growing in moist climates
farther south. Camels and llmas were
abundant, and during the Pliocene
epoch great ground sloths and glypto-
donts, whose relatives now live in
South America, inhabited western Me-
braska. Mastodons with tusks on both
the upper and lower jaws. much like
those of the Miocene epoch, still per-
sisted. Short-legged rhinoceroses re-
NAMED abundant, and there was great
variety of wolf-like carnivora. Saber-
toothed tigers and true cats, some of
them considerably larger thae the mod
ern tigers. were also abundant. Three
toed horses were still numerous. but
the modern genus Equus was not
among them. One Of the most curious
animals of the time in Kansas and Ne
braska was gopher-like rodent that
had two large horns on its nose. It's
enormous claws indicate good burrow-
ing powers and it's horns also may have
been used in digging. Overland Guide

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Must BE Properly Taken Care Of, and
Here Are Some Suggestions
Of Moment.

The only drawback to cut flowers Is
that they wither so quickly. and In
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance. In the matter Of vio-
let's. It is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
towering stale odor which proclaims
them beyond redemption.
or course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon. because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them, but II
this can be avoided IL Is quite pos
sible to find bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first II they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came in and
when you take them off hold the stems
under running water for a few min
nutes, taking care not to wet the vio-
let's themselves.
Then wrap them up in the oiled pa
per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window IL It Is cool;
IL not, in the refrigerator, but In either
case keep them wrapped.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which so so9Y becomes rank If they
are kept unwrapped in close room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer, and SO 1t does in some cases
In others it seems to change the COL
ors little. With roses 1t is success
full, but not 80 much so with violets.
A piece Of gum camphor is said to be
an excellent preservative in the water.
and others advocate small lump Of
charcoal, but in any case the water
should be changed daily and the flow
ers put in cool place overnight.
