tions to take a prominent part in the
expected great allied offensive on the
western front this spring. Thousands
of troops have arrived in New Bruns-
wick within the last few weeks for

Major General Lessard. inspector
general for eastern Canada, has been
here supervising the work of mobili-
zation. He recently was quoted as
saying that 100000 additional men
would be needed within the next few
months to offset possible casualties
in the spring offensive and to keep the
Canadian divisions at full strength.
Among the troops ordered here 10
the 1sSth battalion. commanded by
lieutenant Colonel John A. Cooper,
The presence Of large numbers of
troops has stimulated recruiting.
Churches have opened their doors to
recruiting parties and appeals from
the pulpit and altar for Canadians
Ito do their bit' are meeting with
ready response.
Omcers and men alike express con-
fidence that the war Is approaching
its final stage and all are eager for
service at the front. Increased ac-
tivity on the part of German SUBJ
marines in the Atlantic has caused
little corncern. Officials point out
that not one life was lost in the trans
portation over seas Of more than 3O0,-
900 Canadian soldiers. and they con-
fidently expect this record will be kept
up. The transports are adequately
armed and conveyed.

Sussex Note Binding.
The statement that Germany in her

The United States specifically refused
to accept that condition and in de-
fault of any reply from Germany was
justified in believing that Germany
adhered to her point of view. In
diplomacy. the last note between two
nations is the binding note and
stands in all particulars until denied

Bernstorff with his passports.
The statement cOndemning Presi-

and incorrect. The cases were held
to be in no way parallel as Mexico

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Surprise
bordering on Indignation was voiced
here early today over Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollwegs speech to the

State department officials are
amazed that the chancellor should
seek further to confuse German
American relations with series Of
statements which they say are pal

Absurd Declaration.
The chancellor's statement that the
United States severed relations
"brusquely" is viewed as too absurd
for discussion. 1t is pointed out that
the American correspondence had
plainly threatened such action; that
Count Won Bernstorff had said for

SENATE MEASURE IS
AGREEABLE TO WILSON
Major Part Of Republican oppo-
sition Apparently is Not
Against Bill Itself.

Washington. Feb. 2s.-The situa-
tion in congress fell into q tangle
again today and the prospects that
there would be no extra session were
not 80 promising as they were last
night.
The house foreign affairs commit
tee reported the bill to empower the
president to protect American rights
against the German aubmarine men
ace. but with chane4 that are un-
Welcome to the administration.
1t declined to make provision for
the president to use ''other instru-
mentalities'' which he desires and
prohibiting giving government war
insurance to munition ships.
The bill reported yesterday by the
senate foreign relations committee is
practically agreeable to the president.
The two measures may be reconci1ed
in some way, although the president
has given notice that he expects no
material changes.
Prospects Of a republican filibuster
doomed up again In the senate.
Senators who today began to insist
upon free and full'' discussion Of all
measures. openly assert that the rea-
son for their course Is to force an
extra session Of congress.
The major part Of the republican
opposition apparently does not lie
against the bill to grant the president
broad powers to deal with the subma-
rire situation, although there are
probably half dozen senator's on the
minority side opposed to it, either in
principle or because they regard 1t
rs too sweeping in character.
