CROPS BENEFITED BY COLD WAVE
 IN MIDDLE WEST
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, Dec. S.-According to B. J. Snow, the crop expert, it does not really matter that the snow and cold over a large area of the northern states of the Middle West chills to the mar row, impedes vehicular and railroad traffic and eats into coal supplies. None of these suffered in severe meas ure, MT. Snow pointed out, whereas the benefits to crops are of immeasurable importance.
 The fortunate circumstances of the occasion was the fall of snow needed by seeded wheat as a blanket of warmth against the cold, and to pro- vide moisture for the soil. Many things may happen to crops before next har- vest, but that, Mir. Snow said, does not alter the fact that for the present, the right thing happened at the right time.
 Te most serious incident of the storm was the sinking of a dredge in Lake Michigan near Chicago today with the loss of seven lives. Williston, N. D., reported 26 degrees below zero, while points in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri were not many degrees less cold. The weather bureau reported that "A marked cold wave has over spread the plains states and central valleys with the lowest temperatures of record for this time of the year.
 The zero line on the weather map extended as far south as the Pan- handle of Texas. In southern Missouri and Southern Illinois, the snowfall was unusually heavy. Rain and snow were reported from eastern Texas, north ward to the great lakes. No suffering from fuel shortage was reported.
 After dropping at the rate of about a degree an hour all day, the temper ature at 9;30 o'clock tonight reached the zero point with prospects of going still lower according to officials at the government weather bureau.

Campbell of the fact in the follow ing communication:
 Governor Thomas E. Campbell,
 My Dear Governor:
 l am in receipt of telegram re- ceived by you from the provost marshal general and in view of the fact that a military aid will also assume the duties of United States disbursing officer and agent in Ari- zona, I herewith tender my resigna- tion which please transmit to the proper authorities with request that same be accepted at the earliest possible time.
 Very sincerely yours.
 FRED S. BREEN.
 Colonel Breen assumed the office of disbursing officer for Arizona under the selective service law on May IS, the title of that office be- ing a complete misnomer in this state. It may be that the rule of the war department determining the grade of commission to be awarded the disbursing officer according tc the population of the state is a wise one, but at this distance it seems entirely inapplicable.
 Other disbursing officers in other states may have done as much work as the Arizona official in the past seven months, but it is impossibl, for them to have done any more.
 Governor Campbell has a differ. ent opinion about Colonel Breen step.

must have noted the word "fontein,"

this termination have been named aft

built beside fountains of spring water.
Thus Bloemfontein means "fowery

and ElandsfOntein deer fountain"

To Our Fellow Citizens of German Descent

(From the Milwaukee Germania HeraId)
Every citizen of German birth has rendered
the oath of allegiance to the country of his adop
tion. His very pride of ancestry should remind
him of the old saying: ITO be German is to be
faithful In this case faithful to this country
No man can serve two masters.
Every citizen can serve only his own country
And the outbreak of the war with Germany can
alter nothing in this respect far the citizen
of German descent is concerned. He is in duty
bound by his oath of allegiance to remain at his
post, unhesitatingly and unflinchingly, even unto
death
How very grave! But every dark cloud, if
there is such cloud, has silver lining.
Cannot the of German blood render a
service to the country which is still dear to
his heart by the very fulfillment of his duty as
an American citizen?
America alone can and will be the decisive
factor.
Only in Germany a general conviction that
America can and will decide the issue does not
seem to prevail. They do not know in Germany
the inexhaustible resources of America; they do
not know in Germany the indomitable will of our
country to conquer. They perceive merely that
so far we progressed slowly, but they forget the
fact that the United States was utterly unpre-
pared. Yet sufficient support can and will be
given the entente powers for preliminary check
to hold out till Americas armies of millions
reach Europe's soil and gain the victory.
To bring this to the consciousness of the Ger
man people the German-American may lend his
aid.
Furthermore, he may impress upon the mind
of the German people that they may have an hon
orabe peace as soon as they will themselves take
hold of matters in the German empire.
America alone stands firm, unbroken, fresh
with inexhaustible resources. 1t does not fight
to make conquests, it does not fight to gain reim-
bursement OF its war expenditures. This must be
made clear to the big heads Of the pan Germans
and to the Prussian junkers. They must learn
to relinquish all thoughts and dreams of world
dominion.
If the German people will it, the useless she'd
ding Of blood will cease. Then America will die
tate the terms of peace, which the President of
| the United States already has proclaimed in the
/ following words:
! Punitive damages, the dismemberment of
empires, the establishment of selfish and excus-
ice economic leagues, we deem inexpedient and in
the end worse than futile, proper basis for a
peace of any kind least of all for an enduring
peace. That must be based upon justice and fair
ness and the common rights of mankind
