season in the grain business at this
point, was made the first of the week
when III. M. Williams bought for the

bushels of wheat from J. ii. Mon

DIPLOMATIC BREAK
If Sinking of Essex Proves Due to

Broken
By the United Press Associations.

WASHINGTON, Mar PA sever
ance of diplomatic relations with Ger
many will probably result, should it be
found that a German submarine tor
pedoed the Sussex. The president is
awaiting the facts, it was stated at the
White House
The president and Secretary Lans-
ing conferred over the telephone to-
day. 1t is believed that if the re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the
Sussex by submarine is established,
it will not be necessary to inquire into
the nationality of the offender. Meth
er Turkish nor Austrian submarines
operate in the English Channel, Dip
lomats believe.
The president has been informed
that if diplomatic relations are brok-
en-, the Kaiser may declare war on the

General Funston would not affirm re-

said, are pitifully weak, and are be-
coming a menace to the expedition.
The problem of supplying the Ameri-
can forces is becoming acute. Per-
to use the railroads is vital

1t is emphatically denied that Villa
escaped southwark through the ranks
of the Americans sent over the rail-

Carranza's lines, and is

WITHDRAW B STREET PETITION

The petition recently filed with the
city council, asking for the paving of
B street between Polk and Adams
streets, was withdrawn at the last
meeting of the council. The matter
of paving the street was argued by
G. c. Pickett for the petitioners, and
by w. E. Lee for those opposed to the
paving. 1t was conceded that the
council had authority to order the
paving without petition, as no inter
sections were included in the pro-
posed district, but the council declin-
ed to exercise it's power in the case.
1t is probable that the street will be
graded and curbed, and that new
walks will be laid this summer.
