Washington, Feb. sa.---The ad-
minlstration today practically de-

enoes between Secretary OF State
Lansing and German Ambassador
Won Bernstorff over diplomatic ques-
tions, and TO dispatch formal note
to Germany emphasizing the need for
uneQuivocal assurances about Teu-
tonic submarine warfare.
The only thing that can intervene
to frustrate this plan Ia the arrival
OF definite assurances that the Teu-
ton proclamation OF warfare against
armed enemy merchant ships will
not become effective March /. as or
dercd. Moreover. Germany must
make such assurances square with
the promises given during the Lusi-

A SUGAR FACTORY AND
PROSPERITY.

The officials and employees of the
sugar company and OF the contract
ing firm that is to build the factory
here. are delighted with southern
Oregon climate and conditions. Com
ing here through snow. from coun-
try where winter still reigRs. they
fnd the balmy air and warming sun
shine Of the Rogue valley. It Is far
better here than we had even anti
cipated. Is the remark OF all, and
each Is enthusiastic over the outlook
for the new industry.
In speaking at the meeting held
1t the Commercial club Monday az
ternoon. George Austin, in charge Of
the cultural and farm activities for
the sugar interests in Utah, and who
has been with the companies since
the establishment Of the industry
20 years ago. stated that the people
Of southern Oregon could not yet
appreciate what the coming Of the
sugar industry would mean to them.
II brought q high degree Of pros
perity to all the districts in which
It was established. and which were
adapted to the culture Of the beet. he
said. In the Rogue valley. he stated.
there were many conditions that
would bring success that were not
present in Utah. one Of these being
the benefits that would accrue to the
stock industry. In this connection
he gave much new light. He stated
that it was not necessary for the
farmers to build silos for the caring
of beet pulp II they did not desire
to. but that the sugar company it
self took care Of the pulp and turned
It over to the farmers as needed.
Here the pulp would not freeze, as 1t
does in Utah, and could be fed with
out certain loss from this source.
The fresh pulp was especially suit
able for dairy cows, but 1t was more
fattening after 1t had commenced a
fermentation, which would be In a
climate like that Of the Rogue valley
IN about ten days after 1t had been
through the factory.
Speaking Of the local factory. Mr..
Austin said that 1t should have each
season from 60 900 to 10000 tons of
beets, this quantity giving 1t a run
of from 100 to 10 days. He as
sured his audience, as did also Mr..
Nibley, that a second factory was ar
ranged for just as soon as IT was
necessary. which, 1t was hoped, would
be next season.

| Washington, Feb. 22.--Tho admin
istration watched today for Berlin's
next move In the new diplomatic
crisis growing out OF the Austro-
German proclamation OF war on arm
ed merchant ships. A response TO
Ambassador von Bernstorff's adyices
on Americas refusal TO recognize the
decree Is anticipated within a day or
two.
Meanwhile, officials are equally en-
crossed In the outcome OF the pcr-
sonal relations between Secretary
Lansing and Ambassador Won Berns-
tori.
II was deemed significant that the
Teuton envoy has absented himself
from the state department and has
kept silent since Lansing indicated
his displeasure at the conduct OF Won
Bernstorff and the apparent Ger
manic propaganda" efforts.
Authorities expressed concern over
the receipt OF anonymous warnings
by American passengers booked to
sail Thursday from New York on the
French liner Espagne. In this con-
lnection, they recalled that similar
warnings were given passengers Of
the Lusitania before she sailed out
OF New York to her destruction by
q German torpedo.
The president conferred last night
with Chairmen Stone and Flood OF
the senate and house foreign COM
mittees, and is now prepared to CO.
