Ex- Ambassador Bryce
 Discusses U. $. Action

London, Feb. 9.-Viscount Bryce. formerly British ambassador to Washington, gave to the Associated Press to-day his views on the current phases of the war and the probable effect of Americas action. Speaking first of Germanys declaration of war zones and the menace to neutrals, he said:
 ''This is the first definite step that brings us nearer peace. It looks like the beginning of the end. Up till now many thought the outcome of the war might be a drawn game, but now the German government, recognizing ap- preaching economic exhaustion and the growing scarcity of supplies, has become desperate and is resorting to desperate measures. Seeing no other hope of success, it is throwing over every remaining restraint of law and proclaimifg it's contempt of neutral opinion.
 "It undertook the invasion of Ru- mania in the belief that victory there would startle the world, would ap- pease discontentment in Germany and enable it to dictate peace on its own terms When the German armies scored success in Rumania the Ger man government thought the time for dictating peace had come. This was its calculation. But the offer was made in a way which showed the terms were to be imposed by conqueror.

BULB GROVE REPORT INCREASE:
 0FTKE INDUSTRY
New Narcissus Disease Is Spreading and Causing
 Great Alarm.

Herlem, Netherlands, Feb. 9-Not- Wlthstanding the prohibition of bulb 1mportations to the British Isles, the Association of Dutch Bulb Growers reported at their recent meeting that the year 1916 had been generally more favorable than either 1915 or 1915.
 The total export of bulbs in the principal export months of August, September and October showed de- crease of 2,500,O0O kilograms as com pared with the corresponding period of the previous year, but when it is remembered that Britain took nearly 100000 kilograms in 1915 it will be seen that the loss of the British mar ket in the past year was largely com pensated for by increased export to other countries. Higher prices were obtained than at any time since the war began.
 Of the 19,000, 900 kilograms export ed in the three months named, Amer ica took 9.000,000, or nearly half, Germany 5,0OO,0OO and the Scandina- vian countries 100000 kilograms. The export to America and the Scan dinavian countries underwent a very considerable increase, as was the case in the previous year, whereas the ex- port to Germany, which closed it's frontiers to all other flower garden products, remained stationary.
 Some concern has been caused to Dutch bulb-growers by a new narcis- sus disease that is rapidly spreading and an expert investigator has been engaged to study the matter.

San Bias Indians
 Ask Panama For
 Own Reservation

Panama. Feb 9-"Charley Room son., chief of the San Bias Indians has proposed to President Valdes that his neople be given a reservation, from which all foreigners are to be exclud- ed Tn practice the San Bias nave maintained their territory to them selves not allowing outsiders to re- main in their villages overnight. rms custom has become a source Of frlc- tion with the authorities of the He- public of Panama and with foreigners who are interested in trade and plan tation developments. The ch1efs proposition aims at securing recogni- tion of the right of his people to live to themselves, at the same time con ceding the authority of Panama in all of the San Bias territory outside Of the reservation. The proposed reser- vation is an area about 70 miles square. which is about one-twenty- fourth of the total area of Panama.
 Charley Robinson is a name of the chiefs own adoption. One of the customs of the San Bias is to give their children temporary names which they may shed with their milk teeth, and adopt their own permanent des- ignations Robinson pays rather fre- uuent visits to Panama City, on which he calls in state on the president, at tired in a blue uniform and accom- panied by two body servants. His idea of the reservation was given him by an American, who cited the Indian reservations of the United States It is said that the government of Pan anna is inclined to cooperate wits him in working out his scheme.
