PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

After two days of consideration of
the German notice to resume sub
marine activity and a blockade Of
entente ally coasts that would en-
danger neutral ships engaged in
contraband trade, President Wilson
on February 3, severed UDited States
diplomatic relations with Germany
by having the state department hand
the German ambassador, Count Won
Bernstorff, his passports for home. A
note was sent to Berlin warning the
German government that Staying of
Americans on the high seas will bring
hostilities. The president in person
made formal announcement of his
action to the country and to the
world the same day at Joint session
of congress.
This action put the United States
on the verge of war with Germany.
The severing Of diplomatic relations
Is an act which in all the world has
always led to war.
Steps were Immediately begun, I'M
der a veil of secrecy, to place this
nation 10 condition of readiness for
war. The question of conveying
American merchant ships through
the submarine blockade was taken
up. Neutral governments were mott
fled Of the action of the United States
and openly invited to follow its action
IL the new submarine campaign
violates their rights
News of the action of the United
States was received 10 England with
some surprise but with pleasure,
while Germany, regretting the posi-
bilitles OF d break with this country,
seems to have expected that such a
step would result from her new block.
ade order
In the week up to Feb. 8, German
submarines destroyed so or more
merchant craft. 20 Of which we're
sunk on the 7th including the big
British liner, California. The crew
and passengers were saved.

HAVING severed diplomatic

HAVING severed diplomatic
relations with Germany, this
nation, to all appearances, is
about to be plunged into the
great war. The president has
gone as far as he may, and
further action, it is under
stood, lies with congress. The
Staying of one American citi-
zen by submarine in the sea
zone of war for attempting to
continue trade between this
country and the entente allies
may or may not lead this
nation TO sacrifice thousands
OF lives in defense of a right
which the submarine, by its
very nature as an offensive
weapon, is precluded from
respecting. Germany seems
determined, and, should the
submarine warfare be success
full, Great Britain, whose life
and power depend on trade,
will suffer most. England
needs a continuous stream of
supplies. On the other hand
the United States is able to
live within itself, isolated
from the rest of the world,
without going into a war to
protect a trade that is not
vital to its existence. But
our government seems dis
posed to insist on upholding
the nations trade rights, in
which event we may enter
the war and furnish or help to
furnish naval conveys for
merchant ships.

FEWER NEWSPAPERS

Saturday Evening Post. For
twenty years the number of newspa-
pers and periodicals in the United
states has been steadily declining.
relatively to population In the last
decade or SO the number Of daily
newspapers has notably decreased.
A contemporary reports that, though
The population Of the fourteen largest
cities in Michigan has doubled, the
number Of daily papers has fallen
from forty-two to twenty-three.
No doubt like causes have produced
a like effect elsewhere Quite re-
Gently consultations Of dailies in
first class cities have attracted at
tention. The number Of considerable
cities with no morning paper and Of
still bigger places with only one
morning paper appears to increase.
Within our recollection, five morning
papers have disappeared from Chca-
go, though the population Of the city
has much more than doubled
The cause, Of course, is the steadi-
ly increasing cost of establishing and
publishing a newspaper The invest
ment which formerly would have
launched daily paper in Chicago or
New York now hardly suffices for
kalamazoo, and operating costs are
SO high that paper must win very
substantial support or lose lot Of
money
War has greatly increased operat-
ing costs by raising the price of pa
per other materials and labor Prob
ably these war costs have been a
governing motive in some recent con-
solidations. The new revenue law,
which not only increases postal charg-
es enormously but provides for zone
sysieml falls heavily on newspaper
profits and win presumably acceler-
ate the movement toward consolida-
lion, sectionalism and elimination.

tants became tn exception rather
