ing are not sufficient. By far the best
method is to have the slaves treated
with the preservative in closed re-
tort under pressure, and when so treat
ed they should last indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase of treated silos should inveSti-
gate carefully the methods used, and
if greatest permanence is desired,
should choose only material that has
received a thorough pressure treat
ment. Silos built of such material
have the additional advantage Of re-
duction in the swelling and shrinking
of the slaves; and, hence, they can be
kept tight more easily. Another ad-
vantage of silos built Of well-treated
wood is that they need not be painted.

White House.
Washington. on.-Governor Manning. Of
South Carolina. who called at the

exposure Of the German plot to in.

to the Administration without caus.
ing surprise or in any way affecting
the Governments plans for meeting
the situation forced by submarine
ruthlessness. Such a proposal is re-
garded here as nothing more than an
other scheme fostere0 by Germany
with the hope Of confusing the issue
and possibly dividing sentiment in
this country while the destruction OF
American lives and ships on the high
seas continue.
At the State Department officials
! would neither deny nor confirm that
the Government already had been ap-
preached on this subject, although it
was admitted informally that some
such move was not unexpected.
1t was very emphatically stated that
no suggestion Of mediation or discus

was accompanied by abandonment of
illegal assaults upon American ship

PLANS FOR PARTICIPATION
OF UNITED STATES IN WAR
Preparations Are Talked over at
Cabinet Meeting.-No Halfway
Measures.

Washington.-The American Gov
ernment has decided upon sweeping
measures to be put into effect, follow
ing the expected declaration by Con-
gress son after it meets April 2, that
a state Of war exists between the
United States and Germany.
Fully appreciating Germany's poll
cy Of acting in war first and talking
afterwards. the Government has de.
termined to provide against every
possible emergency.
Questions involved were discussed
at Cabinet meeting, to which heads
OF departments carried reports on pre-
parations already made and others
contemplated.
Regretfully the Government appar-
entity has decided that since Germany
is making war upon the United States
through ruthless killing Of Americans
and destruction OF their ships, the
issue must be met with steps much
more far-reaching than mere attempts
| to protect individual merchant craft.
Once a state Of war is declared to ex-
list. aggressive measures are expected
! to be taken.
AS outlined after Fridays Cabinet
meeting. the preparations OF the Gov
ernment are not to be for short war,
or n war marked by halfway meas
ures. complete program has been
prepared 80 that everything will be
carried out In a systematic manner.
The exact measure OF American par.
ticipation in the war Is not expected
to be revealed until after the Presi.
dent addresses Congress and until
public sentiment crystalizes.
Whether an army will be sent
! abroad Is left to the future. But this
possibility is being taken into con
sideration, and the Government pro
poses to be ready for 1t as soon as
practicable.
Detailed plans requiring Congress
sional action are expected to be com
plete when Congress meets April O.
Prior to that time, the Democratic
and Republican leaders will confer
with the President and members of
his Cabinet Speaker Clark and Rep.
resentative Kitchin returned to Wash
ington from the South.
The President has not yet written
his address to Congress, although he
has a general idea of what he will
propose.
The measures decided upon are
military, naval, Industrial and finan-
cial. They are understood to be most
comprehensive.
The Army plans have been fully
drawn. Their first object will be to
fully protect the United States against
any contingency.
The naval program contemplates
the building OF vessels OF all classes
as rapidly as possible, and the man.
ming OF them when completed.
