Oklahoma City Feb 7.-Inver
tion is now under way by .l~--.c assu
Citations and rate bureaus in the statd
to determine the sentiment of shippers
and producers in regard to the increas-
es on shipments of all kinds of grains
out Of this state for export. The in
creases are to become effective Feb
ruary 25
Should sentiment develop strong
enough against the increases a pro-
test will be filed yith the interstate
commerce commission requesting an
investigation. If the investigation is
held four months postmonement of
the rates will be ordered, as was the
case when the traffic men of the state
fought against the rate increase on
less-than-carload lots between Okla
homa and Texas points
The new schedules announced by
the railroads affect grain and grain
products shipments to gulf ports, such
as Galveston and New Orleans. for ex-
port. Lower rates are always granted
to shipments to certain points if such
shipments are destined eventually for
a longer journey. With the new rates
in operation shipments of export goods
to these ports will still be lower in
price than shipments on goods destin-
ed for the port town only.
Practically all Of the 1916 crop has
been shipped out of the state, and the
new rates will not be felt until the
next harvest.

Many German Ships Sunk.
By United PresA,

5y United Presh.
Washington, Feb.-7.-Because the
government discovered evidence that
the crews of German vessels both at
Manila bay and at Colon, Panama,
were laying plans to sink their YES
sells and obstruct the ports, the United
States authorities have taken precau-
tions to prevent such action. No Ger
man vessels have been seized, how
ever, it is stated.
Secretary Baker submitted memo
randum on ship seizures to the White
House. His statement followed closely
reports to the government that more
than three dozen German ships in
American waters had been damaged
purposely since last week so that they
might not fall into American hands.
S l cf these ships were in
Alippine waters The unanimity Of
action in the Philippines, at Philadel-
phia, New York, Boston, Charleston
and elsewhere suggested to officials
that the plan had been pre-arranged.

Situation is Unchanged
NO HOPE THAT GERMANY
WILL RECEDE IS FELT
Belief Expressed thai Germany VIII Con-
tinue Unrestricted Submarine CAM
paign to End
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Feb. THE United
States IS now within the danger
zone" of relations with Germany.
There is no indication forthcoming
that the imperial government intends
to modify the submarine program
which brought about the diplomatic
break.
In view of the utterances Of Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman officials here
believe that Germany will go through
with her campaign to the end The
general situation today is described as
being the same as il was Saturday
when the president went before con-
gresa notifying the ,yrla OF The
break
While hope is still expressed that
there will be no covert act" necessitat-
ing more vigorous action by the Unit
ed States, those in close association
with the president feel that it will be
only matter of time before some sub
marine commander accomplishes
through over-zealousness what may
prove a fatal move. Some fear is felt
that the country may be unduly lulled
into sense of security
Washington Calm.
Each day that passes without a dan
ger incident brings relief. The atti-
tude OF official Washington is that of
one hold his ear in anticipation of a
tremendous explosion There is psy
Geological air about Washington that
is altogether unwarlike. There is no
excitement, calm amounting almost
to indifference having settled over the
city. There is a noticeable lack Of the
bustle and action generally attendant
upon preparations for gigantic strug
gle such as may be threatening the
Country.
Mystery Surrounds Austria.
A mystery as deep as ever continues
Regarding the course of action adopt
ed toward Austria, a nation which has
sent a note practically identical with
the German declaration.
Where is Gerard?
An official message to the state de-
partment today stated that Ambassa-
dor Gerard had gone to Berne. Anoth-
er message said he would leave Berlin
at noon. The message saying he was
in Berne was received from Ambassa-
dor Willard at Madrid. The depart
ment is not sure that Wizards infor-
nation is correct.
Messages previously received indi-
Gated that the German government
was delaying Gerard's transportation
till 1t had knowledge that Ambassador
Bernstorff would receive safe passage.
