Inspiration to Allies.

The Express says that the Presidents
call to his fellow countrymen is an in
spiration to the entente allies. and the
Times. while expressing appreciation of
President Wilson's definition of the
things for which America stands,
thinks. nevertheless. that elevated as
they are. they need great deal of def
milton and expansion before they can
serve even in outline as the foundations
of practical world policy
Referring to President Wilson's con-
fldence that the nation will walk in the
light If true to itself, the Times says:
Those who are indeed true to them
selves must be true in more than
words"
Much comment is devoted to President
wilson's s reiteration of the view that
Americans are unable any longer to re-
main aloof from the rest of the world.

BRITISH PRESS APPROVES
CENSURE OF F|L|BUSTERS
Calls Reprimand of Senate OBJ
structionists Inspiration
for Allies.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6.-President Will
sons inaugura! address and his state
ment in reference to the obstructive
tactics employed in the Senate fill an
important part of the news columns of
the morning papers. and are com
mented on with general sympathy for
the Presidents difficulties in the pres
ent crisis. The situation is compared
to that in which Lincoln delivered his
second inaugural address.
The universally appreciative refer
ences to the President today offer a re-
markable contrast to some which have
appeared in certain quarters of the
British press in the past The Post,
which sees a ttriumph for President
Wilson in the readiness of great
majority of Congress to confer the
powers which he asks, says:
President Wilson has proven that
with all his tact and caution he can
act with instant resolution when occa-
sion requires"

Break With the Past"

The Daily News says in regard to this:
President Wilson has abandoned, as
no previous President has ever done. the
exclusively national outlook that has
been for 1S0 years the most sacred canon
of American political thought. =
Even now it is only handful of clear
sighted politicians, led by the President
break with the past must be-"
The Chronicle concludes its comment
on the situation in the Senate with these
words: President wilson's virile pro-
nouncement exposing in a common-sense
light the unpatriotic mischief wrought
by the wreckers in the Senate, comes
with calming and composing effect, as
of an appeal to the nation too serene
and lofty to be denied"

BULGARIA Is TO BREAK
WITH UNITED STATES

LONDON. March "a Swiss dispatch
saying that Bulgaria VIII present a
note TO the United States next week
supporting Germany in her uurestricr-
ed submarine campaign, and declaring
that American hostility toward Ger
many must be considered to be directed
also against Bulgaria.
The dispatch says that at the same
time the Bulgarian minister at Wash
ingtou will be instructed to demand his
passports
Evening star., 1917-03-06

The commission Immediately opened
the Spanish, Dutch and Swiss govern
ments, and the entente governments
strongly supported their representa-
items. The only reply which the Ger
mans vouchsafed regarding the ships
in the ports of the United Kingdom is
that they will reserve any question as
to the giving of guarantees for such
ships until they have received de-
tailed list of their names and of the
ports where they are now. This re-
guest was received virtually simulta-
neously with the sinking of the Dutch
liners in the English channel.
His majesty's government have re-
piled that, in view of that occurrence,
TO give any such information to the
Germans before the latter have guar
anteed absolute immunity tc all these
ships would be to lay them open to at
tack and invite treachery. In view OF
the evident intention of Germany to
hold up this tonnage for the longest
possible period. and in view of the urg-
ent need of these ships to take further
cargoeS to the starving populations in
Belgium and northern France, his maj
esty's government have agreed with the
commission to discharge these cargoes
in the United Kingdom and provide
storage for them until the Germans
either have given the necessary guar
antees to relief ships from the United
Kingdom ports passing Rotterdam or
have shown even more clearly than at
present that they do not intend to give
such guarantees.
Meanwhile, regular supply of food
stuffS for Belgium and northern France
will go on in ships passing under Ger
man safe conducts from American ports
to Rotterdam.

Position Is Outlined.

The position. therefore. is as follows:
His majesty's government have re-
epected and will respect property of the
commission in these cargoes. All that
they have done is to provide storage
room for foodstuffs which the Germans
are apparently anxious to hinder
reaching Belgium and northern France.
'On the other hand. the Germans al
ready twice have broken their safe
conducts and destroyed property of the
commission. BY this act of faithless-
ness they have struck one blow at the
work of relief. They now invite his
majesty'S government to assist them
in destroying more relief ships by in
forming them where the ships are and,
consequently. how they can best be at
tackled when they set sail. To satisfy
the Germans demands would be to be-
come accomplices in their crimes"

Calls President Theorist.

II heard two campaign speeches by
President Wilson. He is a theorist, re-
mote from all the world. He looks upon it
as does chemist on his retort He
does not know Europe, but he considers
himself qualified to be her teacher.
"The German Americans did every
thing they could to prevent a conflict be-
tween us and the United States. They
fully understood Germany's struggle for
existence. Prosecuted by President VIII
son. they maintained the idea of German
Americanism up to the present. President
Wilson once greeted them as men who
could be proud that Germany was their
native land"

Impossible to Get Away.

In declaring the war zone, Germany
explicitly Cancelled all her safe con-
ducts, giving only few hours for the
relief ships then in United Kingdom
ports to clear for Rotterdam. 1t was
impossible to get them away in time
it also was impossible to communicate
with the ships on the high seas, as they
were not provided with wireless
Since then the Germans have alleged
that they accorded TO these and to other
neutral ships further period OF grace
Nobody ever heard of this until the
Germans announced that the period had
expired. All that the commission or
the world knew was that the Germans
had opened their submarine campaign
by sinking two Belgian relief SHIPS.
There has been a steady accumula-
tion of relief ships in the United King
dom ports. Their cargoes have been
deteriorating. valuable anchorages
have been taken up, and the whole of
this tonnage. which urgently is re-
Quired to take additional relief car
goes from American ports, has been
held in suspense for a month.

Economize and Produce

Hoover asks the American people to economize and pro- duce. Economy alone is not sufficient. Coupled with it must be increased production. Our success in the war depends more upon the reply made by Americans turnout the nation, to this appeal than it does upon the bravery and military genius displayed by our soldiers and sailors. Unless America can live on less and produce more, the lives of our brave boys will be sacrificed in vain, for want of the supplies upon which vic tory depends even more than it does upon the valor of our troops. Now is the time to plan increased production for next year. Are you planning to be a patriot next year and to pro- duce more in addition to econ omizing? This years response to the call has been gratifying, but next year must see an enor- nous increase.

Let us not overlook the fact that there are a number of in dustries in our little town, that have been severely handicap ped for want of day electric service, during the past. few months, to say nothing of the many housewives with electric irons and washing machines and other electrical convenient ces, who have been greatly an- noyed and inconvenienced by the lack of electrical current except at night. A really pro- gressive town must have 24 hour service. Municipal own ership will mean all day service at the earliest possible date. Get back of the bonds.

School Running Smoothly

The Williams Public School has made a good start this year and is now running smoothly. Good feeling prevails between the teachers themselves, be- tween the teachers and the trustees and between the teach CTS and the pupils and' patrons. It behooves everyone interested in the welfare of the school, to insist that this good feeling be maintained, and to do every thing possible to maintain it. Let all insist upon complete school harmony, and each stand ready to yield point for the good of the school. Let there be no more factions CT dissentions, and let all get be- hind the instructors and boost the school. Our public school is the biggest thing in town and is a great credit to our town but let us strive to make it still better.

If the Town Had Owned
 The Plant

If the Town of Williams had owned the Light plant when it burned down, would we still be without day current, and han dicapped as at present? Ger tainly not. Had the Town own- ed the plant when it burned, there would have been no cause for uncertainty or delay. A new plant would have been in- stalled at the earliest possible date and would have been in operation long before this. A private corporation very natur- ally hesitates before putting additional capital into a muni- cipal utility, but when the utiI- ity is municipally owned there is no reason for such delay.

MARKET REPORT
September 18th,


 The unsettled conditions ex- isting at Kansas City Monday and Tuesday, due to the pack ing house strike,, certainly look much better this morning. All of the packers are out earlyand riding hard. Anything with any kill to it at all is bringing 25c higher prices to butchers. while stockers aid feeders show about the same advance. Butcher stuff also in good de- mand.
 The strike at Omaha was set tied last night and with packers out buying everything in sight today, we look for. an agree ment to be reached before to- morrow night, which will no doubt result in a good stock market all rOunQ.
 We have had plenty of out side buyers here all week and anything that would do to go back to the country has been selling all right.
 Our hog market is 1Oc high CT today with the top up to $18- 90. Bulk sales $17.50 to S1S.- 50.
 Sheep market 10 to 20cents higher. Top lambs $17.70.
 Yours very truly, Cassidy Southwestern Com. Co.

When Uncle Sam Strikes

The Germans have stopped joking about what the United States will do when she strikes, and are giving the problem ser ious consideration. The fact that the war existed between the United States and Germany for so many months without the United States yet attempting to strike a blow-other than at the submarines proves that the Administration appreciates the seriousness of the situation and proposes first to thoroly prepare so that when she does strike the blow will be decisive. It is plain to see that when the American army does strike, there is to be no scandal about lack of ammunition, of artillery or of aerial support. All the lessons learned by our allies have been taken to heart, and their mistakes are not going to be repeated by our armies.
 One million American sol diers, supported by all the ar tillery that can be of use, and aided by an air fleet of twenty thousand airplanes, or more, are going to prove a battering ram that the Germans cannot stop.
 It may be spring before Un- cle Sam is prepared, but when he is prepared, victory will be on his side.
