The Santa Fe

That the road will be built
from Carrollton to Mexico and
have a line to St. Louis there is
now no sort of doubt, and almost
as little doubt but that it will be
built from Brunswick thru Dal-
ton and a mile or less south of
the Wabash station at this city,
miss Salisbury and Moberly also.
The land north of Brunswick
and this city vas too hilly for
the purpose as compared with
the route surveyed by the Bur-
lington a year or more ago, and
the Santa Fe engineers took ad-
vantage of the information gain
ed by that road as well as their
own investigation and found
that the practically level land
from Brunswick to some dis
tance in Howard county was
much less expensive to build
over and maintain and shorter.
Grand river thru Brunswick will
be kept off the right of way with
retaining walls and high road
bed bnllt thru the lower bottom
portions of the route.

Mexico

U. S. troops about all out of
Mexico little heard of Villa in the
last week and Carranza with his
ear to the ground since we broke
with Germany. Mexicans act
like they believed that if we put
on our fighting togs and found
no one else to engage with, we
might not disband until we regu-
lated their country for keeps.

and the fire department respond
ed quickly and began what prov
ed to be the most desperate ef-
fort it was ever called upon to
exert to save the entire busi-
ness portion of the city.
When the fire was dis
covered the temperature was
more than 20 above zero and a
light wind was blowing from the
north, but in an incredibly short
time the wind had shifted to the
west and the thermometer fell
20 degrees in less than 2 hours,
making the work of fighting
the spreading Flames not only
most disagreeable but difficult.
The Barrow store was in near
ly the,center of the block and
for d short time it was tho. the
fire would be confined to that
building, but in spite OF good
water pressure and heroic fight
ing, the fire spread in each d.
rection and soon the entire block
excepting the G. w. Bowen
bdilding on the east side of the
block was d seething and roar
ing inferno, sending rot only
showers of sparks over the city
to the east and south. but large
- Gees of burning boards were
sent flying thru the air to work
more destruction. Guards had
to be placed with water and 9TH
er protection against fire on and
near all buildings for biecks east
and south Of the big fire, and
even with this protection, one
was burned which was some dis
tance away and many others
were set on fire. Sparks and
embers hailed against the win
dows of the business and other
houses on the south side of the
street and even sparks we're
blown under doors and set fire
tn carpets and rugs, such was
the force of the wind and the
fierceness of the fire.
The historic old Methodist
Church in the rear of the old city
hall was burned as was the old
commodious hall, and in each
vas stored goods etc which were
lost.
Comparatively little of the
merchandise was saved for the
reason that it was thot for a
while that nothing would burn
but the furniture and hardware
store where the fire started and |
the further fact that nearly all
those who could be of, account
we're at other points preventing
The spread of the flames and the
destruction of the entire city.

and a fresh attack was begun,
put the water pressure had gone
down and tho the hose was TAX

water copiously poured over the

The fancied security of the
building caused DR.. Bowen and

their goods and printing plant,

wage corps and all who could

which fell waie the fire was
Starring undoubtedly saved
many buildings on which enough
sparks fell to consume the city,
and the further freezing of the

Wis great help in checking the
flames.
That the greater part of the
block will he rebuilt with first
class business buildings in the
spring, there is no doubt. The
public spiritedness Of the citizens
has been exhibited of late years
in a way which justities the pre-
diction and we sincerely trust
that the loss will not prove 50

Rapidly. United Nation

declaration of the Imperial Ger
man government that her sub
marines would be turned loose
indiscriminately and all mer-
chant vessels of whatever nat
ion, bound with cargoes for
Great Britain would be sunk
that England might suffer the
same deprivation of supplies as
Germany had.
The German government ex-
pected such action on the part
of the United States and made
no denial of breaking the dis
tinct understanding had with
this government when the stea-
mer Sussex was sunk and Amer
ican lives lost in the English
Channel but offered as an ex-
cuse that the time had come
when she could not do other
wise and have an equal chance
with her enemies in the war.
President Wilson conferred
with leading statesman and then
with congress before taking the
step, and all regardless of party
with a few exceptions, endorsed
the contemplated act and
pledged full support of what
ever it became necessary for the
president to do to maintain the
honor and dignity of this coun-
try.
When the German ambassador
was Informed of the break he
shed tears and declared he was
very sorry. Passports were Civ
en- him and his suite and safe
return to his country assured.
Immediately extensive prepar-
alton for war were begun in the
navy and army aud every pre-
caution taken against being
caught off guard. The guards
at Panama Canal were doubled,
jnterned German ships were put
under guard to prevent their de-
struction, all ships ready to sail
to the zone warned against by
Germany were held and the
National Guards of all stated or
dered to make ready for service.
While the severance of diplo-
matte relationship is not a de-
claration OF war, it is the first
ftep in that direction, and while
there may be no over act on the
part Of Germany which would
impel this country to declare war
on her, the prospects are more
than favorable for a state of
war to be brot about tho no ac-
tual warfare might be engaged
in. The general opinion of many
in position to guess closely is
that there will be no actual en-
gagement in, war between this
country and Germany, tho such
q situation is possible.
