The railway managers protested OPP

permit labor strife to block the pre-

President Wilson, through Secretary
of Labor Wilson and the federal

The formal statement issued by the
brotherhoods declaring their loyalty
closed with this declaration:
Surely the public must realize
that for more than a year we have

must be disposed of, and industrial
peace restored before our country
becomes involved in war, which
now seems probable.

Chicago. March 14.-The Cuban re-

wedding for realistic musical comedy.

There is considerable speculation
here as to the power of the president

CARRYING OF MAILS.
The fact that some trains carry mail.

six Vessels in Shanghai
Harbor Taken Over by the
Chinese Government and
the German Crews Sent
Ashore.

Washington, March 14.-Diplomatic
relations between China and Germany
were broken by China today, according
to an official message to the navy de-
partment.
The Chinese government has seized
all German merchant vessels, about six
in number, in Sh nghai harbor, and the
crews have been sent ashore. Armed
guards have been placed aboard the
vessels.
MESSAGE FROM COMMANDER.
TIE message came from the senior
naval commander in Chinese waters.
The message said:
China severed diplomatic relations
with Germany today and has seized all
German merchant vessels which were
lying in the port of Shanghai, about
six in number, and has sent all crews
on shore and placed armed guards On
board all vessels"
China is expected TO help supply the
allies from her enormous store Of
metals and FIVE big munition factories.
The German vessels seized were small
boats which had been informed for
many months.
Shortly after receiving the navy
message, the state department received
the following message from Minister
Reinsch:
China has broken off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. German minis
ter will be handed his passports to-
day."
CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.
The break represents a complete
change in sentiment from that which
existed in China at the start of the
war, when the population was generally
pro-German. Factions developed, and
at that point Japan started bringing
strong pressure to bear to sway China
to an anti German viewpoint.
This pressure increased, along with
overtures of Japan and the entente
until recent weeks when China frankly
let the world know she was consider
ing where her best interests lay. AS a
result of the break, China probably will
obtain extension or remittance of the
Boxer indemnity along with several
other concessions she has greatly de-
sired

Appropriations for army.
Conservation measures, which
will release for immediate use, the

TRAINING BIG QUESTION.
Universal training promises to be
the biggest question facing congress.
President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker have sent out an appeal
for thoughtful public opinion upon
the needs and wishes of the country"
upon this radical departure from the
military traditions of the country.
In answer to the plea, newspapers
are found thus far to favor-about five
to one-the adoption of some univers-
al training plan.
But. according to the military au-
thorities here, the newspapers are far
ahead of the people" on the question.

any compulsory universal service or
training.
NO SPECIFIC PLAN IN MIND.

consulted by the president before he
addresses congress next month. It is
probable he will not recommend the
adoption of any specific plan, but will
