the fact that he had eleven fresh cows,

Friendly relations between the United
States and Germany has been strained
during the past two years to such an ex-
tent that break came last week when
Germany put in force its order to destroy
vessels of neutral nations coming within
a certain distance to England and France
and also in zone covering large por-
ton of the Mediterranean Sea.
Within this area German submarines
are on the watch, the instructions OF
the crew being to sink all kind regard
less of nationality.
1t is said that already 200 or more
American citizens have lost their lives
due to the activities of these submarines,
the greatest loss of life being caused by
the destruction of the Lusitania on May
7, 1915, at which time l24 American cit
izens found watery grave.
Notes protesting against this mode OF
warfare were sent by President Wilson
to Germany, but matters improved but
little, promises being promises only and
never fulfilled. When the last note from
Germany stating that on February lst
campaign of ruthlessness was to begin
irrespective of consequences, President
Wilson decided to break off diplomatic
relations, and followed up his decision by
giving the German Consul his passport
and ordering home Ambassador Gerard.
Any rash act on the part of Germany
and her adhesion to the declaration of
unrestricted submarine warfare now
means war.
A dispatch from Washington dated
February 9Th, says:
A resolution indorsing President Will
sons action in severing diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany was introduced in
the Senate today by Senator Stone,
chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, emphasizing particularly the
Presidents expressed desire to maintain
peace.
The resolution recited the severance of
diplomatic relations with Germany and
concluded by declaring "that the Senate
approves the action taken by the Presi-
dent as set forth in his address to Con-
gress."
Republican Senate leaders, among
them Lodge, Gallinger and Smoot, were
consulted, and the Republicans will sup
port the Endorsement.
The text of the resoletion follows:
"Whereas, the President has, for the
reasons stated in his address delivered to
the Congress in joint session on February
8, 1917, severed diplomatic relations with
the Imperial German Government by the
recall of the American Ambassador at
Berlin and by handing his passport to the
German Ambassador at Washington, and
Whereas, notwithstanding this sever
ance of diplomatic intercourse, the Pres
dent has expressed his desire to avoid
conflict with the Imperial German Coy
ernment, and
"Whereas, the President declared in
this said address that if in his judgment
an occasion should arise for further action
in the premises on the part of the Gov
ernment of the United States he would
submit the matter to the Congress and
Catoctin clarion., 1917-02-08

ask the authority of Congress to use such
measures as he might deem necessary
for protection of American seamen and
people in the prosecution of their peace
full and legitimate errands on the high
seas.
Therefore, be it resolved by the SEN
ate that the Senate approves the action
taken by the President as set forth in
his address delivered before the joint
session. of the Congress as stated above. !"
Still fervently hoping for peace but
taking every possible step to prepare the
country for war, il it must come, the
President appealed to Congress to quick
ly dispose of all routine business, appro-
priation bills and pending legislation, and
clear its decks for action to meet any
eventuality.
The President wants Congress ready
to act if it becomes necessary for him to
address it again and ask for authority to
use all the resources of the United States
to protect American ships and lives on
their peaceful and lawful errands on the
high seas.
From Berlin. Germany, February 9Th,
comes the following:
According to information obtained in
official quarters there is no prospect Of
any modification of the orders to sub
mariaes.
Peaceful continuance of German
American relations after the departure
of the respective Embassies at Washing
ton and Berlin in the sense indicated by
Pre- sident Wilson in his address to Con-
gress appears to be very slight, judging
by all the information, some of the high
est authenticity, gathered by the Asso-
ciated Press.
ut was stated positively in high polit-
ical circles that the German orders for
the conduct of a submarine war could
not and would not be modified; that in
Germany the determination to enforce
the prohibited zone order was absolute
and final, and that the only security for
shipping was in avoidance of the prohib-
tied zone.
Germany, so the Associated Press
was informed, resorted to this measure
after the shameful" rejection by the
Entente Powers of peace overturs and
only after the fullest determination and
as the imperative weapon IN defense of
it's threatened interests; Germany cannot
relinquish this weapon-the only one
promising speedy end to the war-re-
luctant as Germany was to take this
step.
"The Government had hoped that the
United States would see it in this light,
and was and is actuated by no animosity
to the United States in its determination,
Germany, therefore, so the high inform
ant of the Associated Press continued. is
very keenly disappointed and grieved by
the terms of Mr.. Wilson's message, but
the Government cannot alter or modify
the course upon which 1t has determined.
This official added:
1--WE can only hope and trust that
American ships and American citizens
will AVOID the danger zones laid down in
the German memorandum.

Weather Extremes.
High and Low Temperature,
Wind and Snow.


If the weather continues changing as
rapidly as it did from the first day of
February until the fourth, likely new
record will be made in this locality.
Beginning last Thursday the mercury
rose and the warmth of the sun made the
snow disappear rapidly. A mild wind
also aided in chasing the snow, but was
strong enough to be disagreeable to those
who has to be out in the open. Friday
morning the wind was still strong and
change in temperature sent the mercury
down until Saturday morning thermome-
ters registered one above zero. On the
mountain the mercury dropped to five
degrees below zero according to reports
from reliable persons. The temperature
rose during the day and about six o'clock
the mercury was standing at Ia. Sunday
morning was somewhat warmer and at
noon the readings were we'll up in the
thirties, Ice along the street melting
freely. Clouds appeared at sundown.
Soon after eight o'clock one of the worst
snow storms of recent years broke, the
wind being very strong and continued its
fury all during the night and Monday
until near noon.
Monday at a. m. the mercury at
Cassell's Drug Store door was standing
at zero. Very little snow fell Sunday
night, and thus the county roads were
saved from being blocked. Marse Ground
Hog had all possible chance to see his
shadow last Friday, and the real win ter
kind of weather commenced at once. 1t
is hoped the same kind will not sontin ue
