RELIEF WORK OF
U. S. MAY HALT
THREATENED BY BREAK
WITH GERMANY.

An entire diplomatic structure to
project probably two million prisoners
in the midst of their enemies. to care
for whole conquered nation in Bel
GUM, to represent the interests of four
sovereign states in Germany and Ger
man interests in nine enemy countries,
crumbled when diplomatic relations
between Germany and the United
States We're severed
One of the most complex, ultra legal
humanitarian machines ever evolved,
the slow. patient work built up during
two and half years of effort, thus is
sacrificed.
American organization and genius
the war zones will cease to operate.
All American representatives will be
withdrawn from Germany and the du-
ties they have performed will fall on
unframed forces.
From Belgium the United States will
not withdraw till 1t is impossible for
her to continue. The 100 Americans
who have from the wars beginning
proved the directing genius for the
greatest and longest sustained relief
work in history will remain at their
posts unless they are forced to cross
the frontier.
Belgian relief ships will continue to
run for the present, it is understood,
and every attempt made to secure their
immunity from German attack.
Prisoners Lose Protectors.
AS to prisoners the United States
represents the interests of at least
100000 and probably 100000 men
in countries from which the withdraw
al of American diplomats has been
forced. Often it has been only such
officials who have stood between these
helpless unfortunates, unbefriended
in the midst of an enemy country, and
threatened with reprisals, intolerable
prison conditions, inadequate food and
even epidemics of disease. American
officials have been untiring in their eff
forts under conditions almost intoIer-
ably difficult.
Germany's interests in seven coun-
tries and the large sections of Egypt
and Morocco have been turned away
from American sympathy and aid to
whatever neutral Germany can find
to accept work. The state depart
ment instructed its officials represent
ing German interests in England.
France, Russia and Japan, Roumania.
Serbia. Greece, Egypt and Morocco to
suspend all activities along that line
and await information to be conveyed
through some neutral government to
whom Germany wishes those interests
surrendered.

Ready to Supply Own Needs.

The figures are suggestive of what
has taken place in other industries
which could not be so closely iden-
tilted with the actual movement of the
troops. The fact that five times as
many railway cars have been shipped
abroad had, for example, no distant
relation that cotton manufacturers
nearly trebled, that wool manufacture
ers quadrupled, that leather far more
than doubled, that steel manufactures
as a whole rose from S1S4 100000 to
SIT 900, ,OO0-all these show what the
war has done to put this country in
a position to supply its own needs
should they arise.

HAIR MEANS
DANDRUFF is ACTIVE
Of Danderine Right Now-Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
II not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink. loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t Will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use, when you will actual
ly see lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over the scalp. Adv.

Gently cleanse your liver and

Get a 1O-cent box.

Sick headache. biliousness, dizzi-

Poisonous matter clogged in the in

stomach. remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

DIPLOMATIC BREAKS NOT
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY WAR.

The breaking of diplomatic relations
between two countries has not always
been followed by war. II is recognized
always as preliminary step toward
war, but there have been cases where
war has not followed or where 1t has
been postponed for many months after
diplomatic ties were severed.
In May, 1915. Italy declared war on
Austria-Hungary. simultaneously the
German ambassador to Rome, Prince
Buelow, was forced to leave Italy, TAX
ing with him all German diplomatic
and consular officers. At the same mo-
ment the Italian ambassador to Berlin
was handed his passports. The break
between the two countries was com
plete from the diplomatic standpoint.
But though war was hotly waged be-
tween Italy and Germany's ally. there
was no actual declaration of war
against Germany until more than a
year later.
Twice the United States has more
or less summarily dismissed British
ministers to Washington.
In 1909 Minister Jackson was hand
ed his passports as the result of what
We're practically charges of falsehood
and duplicity made by him against the
American secretary of state. That
was, of course, preliminary to the war
of 1872, but wpr did not begin until
three years later.
Lord Sackville-west, British minis
ter to the United States, was dismissed
by the Washington government in
1883, because of personal letters he
had been trapped into writing which
were regarded as unwarranted inter
ference with domestic politics. In this
instance the American minister was
not recalled, nor was he handed his
passports, and no declaration of war
followed the Incident.
When the Emperor Maximilian was
executed in Mexico In 1867 his brother,
Emperor Francis Joseph, withdrew all
his diplomatic and consular officers
from Mexico. Diplomatic relations
were not resumed for more than thirty
years. But during all that time Aus.
trian subjects lived in peace in Mexico
and were not molested by the Mexican
government. The fact that the Aus
trian forces withdrew from Mexico un-
der strong pressure from the United
States is to be considered as control
ling cause for Francis Joseph content
ing himself with making only diplo-
matte protest.

WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
q suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm 1t.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 24O acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of the firm says:
81 have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta. Canada, this year G916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of Al bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. / Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
S1.S5 per bushel, making total return
of S19,610, or an average of SS1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we

1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of C. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of
it., and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade
No. Northern.
Mr. Wright being n thorough busi-
ness man, gives the cost of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land

amount is secured the lodge will be
able to enter its new home free of

IOWA CROP SERVICE:
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY d.
RECTOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

For the week ending May /. 1917.
Des Moincs, Iowa.
The week was cold, cloudy and
wet, there being an average daily de-
ficiency of about IL degrees in tenn
perature and a large excess of pre-
cipitation. Snow fell on the 26th
and 2Sth and freezing temperature
was recorded over. the greater part
of the state on one or two mornings.
1t was too cold for much growth of
vegetation, and the frequent and
heavy rains have delayed farm work,
though considerable progress was
made in some localities in blowing.
The rains, however, have been bene-
fetal to small grain and grass and
will prove to be of great benefit to
all other crops as soon as warm
weather comes. Oats, spring wheat
and barley are up and show good
stand generally. Some early pota-
toes and garden truck are also up.
While winter wheat has made little
growth and shows slight improve
ment, more fields have been plowed
up on account of the poor stand,
thereby increasing the prospective
corn acreage. Tests show high per
centage of termination of seed corn
and the quantity is sufficient. A few
small patches of corn were planted
early in the week in the southern
counties. The prospect for a good
tree fruit crop is still very promis-
ing, but raspberries, blackberries and
strawberries were badly winter
killed in a few localities. Early
plums and apples are in bloom in the
extreme southeastern counties. The
first bloom last year was reported
on April 25th.
