A good deal Of feeling has resulted

narrowly averted when wouId-be jok-

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 13.-It
Is practically certain that Brazil and
Germany viii be at war within short
time, and more than likely that Argen.
tina will also become embroiled in the
conflict
The action Of Brazil, as announced
last night, in seizing all German refu-

here as an act which Germany is sure
tn regard as an act of war and that
formal declaration of hostilities will
follow. II is pointed out in state de-

lowed Immediately by declaration Of
war by Berlin.

This city has been characterized
by extravagant and experimental gov.

attention to the wretched condition OF

asked his audience why they had not
been benefited by the $4,000 that has
been spent every month for patch.
work on the roads. Continuing, he
said: ~
1T is time that all classes of the
city get together" said Cohen, 'as

The candidate called attention to
his work while in the legislature when
he championed all measures that fav.
ored the working people. Also he
pointed to the fact that he had been
a successful business man and that
he would bring to the office Of mayor
the same business principles he had
used in commercial life.
