regarded as a determination to strike back in kind. German officials in the United States estimate the food sup ply on the British Isles will last a month
 Admittedly the plan is to carry starvation to the doors of England with swift, staggering strokes, as a fulfillment of Germany's announced determination to use every weapon and agency in her command to end the war quickly. She counts on the operations of an unheard- of number of submarines to deliver blows to bring England to her knees within sixty days. One German official here
 predicted today the war would be over in a month.
 Conveyed to the world as her ans wer to the refusal of the entente al lies to talk peace, Germany's latest warning says:
 From February 1, 1917, within barred zones around Great Britain, France, Italy and in the eastern Med lterranean, all sea traffic forthwith will be opposed"
 It virtually is a renewal and an extension of the celebrated submarine blockade of the British Isles pro- claimed on February 4, 1915, and which became effective February IS, 1915. Under it ships were sunk with out warning until Germany abandon ed the practice and gave her assur- ances, in the Sussex case, to abide by international law The Lusitania, Falaba and scores of other ships were sunk under the decree.
 American citizens and American ships are warned from entering the war zones, although certain precau- tionary measures are suggested for distinguishing American steamers not carrying contraband, according to the German list. These conditions is almost the same form were rejected when proposed by Germany early in the negotiations over the Lusitania. At that time Germany proposed to guarantee immunity from attack to certain specified passenger ships, sailing on prescribed courses with distinguishing marks, and carrying no contraband. President Wilson re- jected the proposal promptly, on the ground that the United States was contending only for it's rights.
 The new German proclamation brushes aside all the perplexing col lateral issues which have surrounded the submarine controversy and has brought it back to the point, where it was left at the conclusion of the Sussex case.

COLD WAVE BRINGS |DROP OF 64DtCRFtS

One of the severest-if not the severest-temperatu changes ever recorded here resulted from last nights cold wave, which caused the thermometer to drop GA degrees in less than IS hours. The minimum temperature recorded by the govern ment thermometer here today was IA degrees above zero. The maximum recorded yesterday afternoon was 78 degrees. The sudden change from balmy spring weather to midwinter cold began early yesterday after non when the wind shifted to the northwest and the mercury was pushed down to the freezing point by night. Although the skies are clear, the temperature had moderated very little this afternoon, the gov ernment thermometer standing at 25 degrees above zero at 1 o'clock. Fair weather tonight and fair and slight ly warmer weather Friday are pre- dicted today.

an unprecedented loss, but New Or leans spot quotations were unchanged at 17.19 cents.
 Several local cotton men are hit by the big slump. It is estimated that about 5000 bales are being held here, the average cost of which was around 19 cents. Today's market would represent a loss of fully $20 per bale, or about $60,000 on the local stock of cotton.
 Conway buyers, however, say that the fluctuations in futures have lit tie bearing on the value of actual cotton. All of the local holders are in strong positions and are able to hold the cotton as long as they desire without inconvenience, and none of them is expected to offer his list for sale during the present demoraliza- tion of the market.

WILL AGAIN WAGE
 SUBMARINE WAR
GERMANY GIVES NOTICE
Will Abandon Pledge to United States and Resume Operations
 of U-BOats.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Germany has declared unrestricted submarine warfare.
 A starvation blockade of England, the like of which the world never has seen, was announced today, begin ming Feb. l, in notes delivered to American Ambassador Gerard in Ber- lin and to the State Department here by Count Bernstorff.
 Thus begins the long-feared cam paign of ruthlessness conceived by Von Hindenburg, it is said here, on la magniture never even contemplated by Won Tirpitz.
 Again the United States faces sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany with all it's eventual possi- bilities. President Wilson's repeated warnings of "a world afre" and Sec retary Lansing's verge of war" statement are being recalled in the capitol tonight with feelings of ap- prehension and misgiving. Germanys action is the supercris-
 
 American government in two and a half years of world war. Peace and means of preserving peace have gone glmmering.
 President Wilson. incredulous at first when the unofficial text of Ger many's warning was brought him, at once called for the official document, which had just been presented to Secretary Lansing by the German ambassador. MT. Lansing refused to make a comment MT. Wilson be- gan at once a careful study of the document.
 The president has the task of de- ciding what shall be the course of the United States. Three immediate steps appear among the possibili- ties. The United States might sol emnly warn Germany against a vio- lation of her pledges; it might be de- cided that the German warning is sufficient notice of an intention to disregard those pledges and a suffi- cient warrant for breaking off diplo- matic relations; it might be decided to await the results of the blockade and determine the course of the United States as the actual operations devel- op.
 On almost every side Germany's drastic action is interpreted as an open confession of the effectiveness of the British food blockade. It is

COMMITTEE HIGHLY COMMfNDS NORMAL URGES A NEW BUILDING Joint Legislative Visiting Committee Strongly Praises State Insti- tuition Here.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Speciai to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Feb. 1.-High praise for the manner in which the Arkan- saS State Normal School is being ad- ministered and a strong recommends tion for additional teaching force and a new administration building com mensurate with the needs of the in stitlNion were contained in the re port submitted today of the joint senate and house visiting committee which inspected the school Friday January 26.
 The recommendation include the following:
 An additional teacher in the de. partment of education.
 An assistant supervisor of the training school.
 An additional instructor in the de partment of cooking and sewing.
 The establishment of manual training department, with a compe tent head to carry on the work.
 The construction of new admin istration building.
 The report states that the pres ent enrolment of the school is 38G and that all instruction rooms as well as the library and auditorium are badly overcrowded. The splen- did results of the work of the school, however, and the fine record it has made during the nine years of it's history are unstintedly commend ed, and the president and faculty are endorsed in the highest terms.
 Representative H. B. Hardy today introduced a bill appropriating $175,- 900 for the new building. Of the ap- propriation $16O,0OO is for the con- struction of the building and $15,000 for furnishing and equipping it.

BLOUNT ESCAPES
 FOR THIRD TIME TAXES SHOT AT GUARD SIaypr of Eaulkpar Cnupfy nHcor
Slayer of Faulkner County Officer Again Makes Successful Break
 from State Convict Farm.

Lee Blount, sentenced .on March 8, 1915, from Faulkner county to IS years in the state penitentiary for murder in the second degree, and Shorty" Defts, sentenced from Law renee county to 10 years in the pen itentiary for robbing a bank at Ravenden, escaped from the state penal farm at Tucker yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. The convicts attacked trusty guard, secured his automatic pistol, and escaped, after shooting bullet through the leg of the guards trousers.
 Both Blount and Defts are noted criminals, each having participated in other recent escapes Blount es- capped with 25 other state prisoners on January 20, 1916. Five days later he surrendered to officers, after mo- tifying them from his home at May flower that he would give himself up If the reward of $50 offered for his capture, would be turned over to his wife. His request was complied with.
 Blount escaped again on June 12 with Il other convicts, but when he found himself closely pressed by the guards and bloodhounds, he again surrendered
 Defts' escape yesterday was his second since his incarceration, Jan uary IT, 1916. He was recaptured several weeks ago at Newport after a gunfight with officers, in which he was wounded.
 Blount has been closely allied with the most notorious characters in the penitentiary since his confinement. Yates Standridge, the leader of the outlaw band" in the prison, now at large, was one of his associates in his first escape.
 A jury in Faulkner circuit court convicted Blount of second degree murder for killing Deputy Sheriff Oscar L. Honea near Mayfower, while the officer was searching for him as an escape from the county jail here. Blount had been confined in the jail awaiting trial for misde- meanor, and with two other pris- oners, effected an escape. He was captured several weeks after the kill ing by Wash Clibourn, and brought here for trial after being indicted for first degree murder. Awaiting trial, he was confined in the state prison.
 Sheriff w. w. Bishop today receiv- ed notices of the escape of Blount and Defts. Rewards of S100 for the capture of each are offered.
 The penitentiary's official descrip- tion of Blount follows: Residence, Mayfower, Ark; height, 5 feet 1-2 inches; age, 30; complexion, reddish i; hair, sandy brown; weight, 13S; oc- equation, farmer; bu', 35, waist, 33; thigh, 20; stride, 32; neck, IA; sev- eral sears on back; short scar on forehead; end of right thumb off l; small scar on fourth finger; round scar on right shin; scar on top of left foot.
