ARMED NEUTRALITY
NOT NEW TO THE us.

Washington, Feb. 26--Amred neu,
trality for the United States" will
be President Wilson's answer TO Ger
many's determination to wage relent.
less warfare with her U boats.
Once before the United States gov
ernment. when q critical situation
developed with France. was called
upon to declare a state OF armed
neutrality"
II permitted the arming Of Ameri-
can merchant ships. the conveying OF
American ships--in fact every war
like measure short OF an actual dec
laration OF hostilities.
The president worked throughout
yesterday on his message. He aban-
doned his customary practice OF go
Ing to church in the morning and
worked In his study. Early today
he called Secretary Tumulty to the
White House and read the message
to him.
At $50 Senator Stone went TO the
White House and the president told
OF his intended course.
Tumuity sent the message to the
public printer at s;l5 and at 10
o'clock the request for Joint SEES
sion was sent to Senator Kern and
Representative Kitchin.
In taking his action. the pres
ident fulfilled the promise he made
to congress on February 3. when he
announced severance OF diplomatic
relations with Germany.
At that time. after saying he be-
lieved that Germany would not dis
regard the ancient friendship" be-
tween her peoples and those OF this
country, by prosecuting the ruth
less naval program they have an
.ounced." the president declared
only actual overt acts on their part
can make me believe II even now.
He then promised III this invet-
crate confidence on my part In the
sobriety and prudent foresight OF
their purpose should unhappily prove
unfounded; II American ships and
American lives should. In fact. be
sacrificed by their naval commanders
in needless contravention OF the Just
and reasonable understanding OF In
ternationai law and the obvious die
tates OF humanity. I shall take the
liberty Of coming again before the
congress to ask that authority be
given me to use any means that may
be necessary for the protection OF our
seamen and our people in the prose-
cution OF their peaceful and iegiti-
mate errands on the high seas

INCREASING CONSUMPTION OF
!. DAIRY PRODUCTS
(Rural Spirit)

The campaig. inaugursted SIN
months ago by the National Dairy
Union to educate people concerning
the value Of dairy products as human
food is unQuestionably bearing good
results. There has been so much said
concerning milk as disease carrier
that thousands OF people regard i,
with suspicion. Some of the accusa-
tions made against milk and condi-
tions surrounding its production in
the past have undeniably been true.
and also is it equally true that there
have been many deliberate exagger-
ations printed and spread broadcast
by those who endeavored in this
manner to boost their salaries as
guardians of the public health.
Through it all. dairy products have
suffered immeasurably and there
must. from business standpoint,
be something done to Offset the dam
age.
In point Of dollars and cents the
milk and butter in our average daily
bin Of fare is in the Seasoning
class instead Of being one Of the
principal ingredients. Consumers
know in a vague way that milk is a
food; they do not realize its actual
high value in comparison with other
food stnffs bought. That people are
interested in foods and food values
is unquestioned. A Portland business
man with family Of growing chill
dren up to a short time ago used
one quart of milk a day. The climb
ing prices of food stuffs caused him
to study food values and the result
is that he is now buying six quarts OF
milk a day and finds that not only
have the children improved in health
but that it saves money. II all the
consumers Of milk could have rela-
tive food values forcibly brought tc
their attention, milk consumption
might be doubled. And not only
would the quantity consumed be in
creased, but better price could b,
derived for milk and other dair!
products.
W. Scott Matthews, food commits
sioner Of Illinois gives figure,
as to comparative food values an,
facts along this line emphasized t,
consumers would go a long way boil
in increasing milk sales and in al
lowing better compensation for pro
ducers. According to Mr.. Matthews
analyses each of these foods contain
the same nutritive values as on
quart OF milk:

SINK TWO BRITISH
SHIPS OFF COLOMBO

Toxic, Feb. 2G.--The British
steamers Perseus and Warcester-
shire have been sunk of Colombo, ac-
cording to announcement today. No
details have been received so far,
but II was said there were explosio ons
aboard both vessels, due to German
plotting.
The Japanese naval authorities
have learned that the Perseus was
sunk after she had gone about 10
miles from Colombo. Reports that
a German submarine was responsible
for the sinking OF the two vessels
were denied. II is presumed however
that Teuton agents secretly placed
bombs on the two vessels, timed to
explode at certain time.
