COMMENTS ON
MOVE MAKE By
SWISS ENVOY

AMSTERDAM, via London, March
.1.-Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
has made a statement before the reich
stag in regard to the move made by
Paul Ritter, Swiss minister to the
United States, to bring about a reop-
ening of negotiations between the
United States and Germany. Accord
ing to Berlin dispatch to Reuters.
Secretary Zimmerman said:
"On February 8, through the Swiss
federal council, we received a tele-
gram from the Swiss minister at
Washington, to whom, after the rup-
ture, our interests in America were
entrusted. The telegram was as fol-
lows:
I" In America the wish exists to
avoid war should the German govern
ment show an inclination to negotiate
about the blockade. The minister is
ready to pursue the mater further
Every speaker here has expressly
emphasized that a breach with Am
erica was regrettable, and it will un-
doubtedly be still more regrettable if
it came to war between Germany and
United States, between whom there
are ancient friendly relations and no
political antagonism. Economically
we are drawn to each other and should
really be economic. 1t is comprehen-
sible that the imperial government de-
sides to avoid everything which might
intensity the conflict. For these rea-
sons we examined the suggestions
which reached US from the Swiss min
ister."
Referring to the breach of relations
with America, Deputy Schiller, ma
tional liberal, declared there was no
doubt that Austria would back up Ger
many in her attitude toward the Unit
ed States.

Charter rates are reported as
slightly firmer.
"Clearings of 10 principal cities of
the district during January, 1917,
show an increase of so per cent over
those of January, 1916; Salt Lake
City led with 68 per cent, followed
by San Francisco, with Sc per cent
and Seattle with so per cent. Building
permits of the same 10 cities increased
20 per cent over the corresponding
month in 1916, Los Angeles leading in
the percentage Of increase.
"Real estate transactions are in in

'In the event of large purchases of
supplies by this government for war
there would presumably be
increased activity in lines directly af-

war ends, the demand for the products
Of this district cannot fail to continue

CITRUS CANKER
BEING FOUGHT
BY UNCLE SAM

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l.
Citrus canker can be completely eradi-
Gated from this country if energetic
work is continued for a sufficient
length of time, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In an article in the 1916 year
book of the department, DR.. K. F. KEEL
lerman points out that the inspection
and eradication work which has been
in progress for the last two years,
while expensive in itself, has yielded
encouraging results, and that this dis
ease is so serious a menace that the
cost of combating it is small in pro-
portion to the value of the property to
be saved.
Citrus canker is described by DR..
Kellerman as the most contagious of
all known plant diseases and the most
destructive of commercial values.
More drastic precautions have been
found necessary in fighting it than are
required by any other plant disease.
Not only are infected trees destroyed
by burning, but the ground under the
tree is sprayed with a formalin solu-
ton, and it is also advisable to do this
with apparently healthy trees in the
neighborhood of those infected. The
who do this work are re-
quired to wear a costume which can
be thoroughly disinfected before and
after visiting each citrus orchard. All
the apparatus taken into citrus
groves, such as oil cans and pumps,
must also be disinfected.
Work of this character is now be-
ing carried on comparatively by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture and the states of Alabama, Tex
as, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.
Only very small proportion of the
orchards in the south have been in
fected, and those in Arizona and Cali
fornia have escaped completely. De-
spite the contagiousness of the dis
ease, infected orchards can frequently
be eleansed without the loss of very
many trees. 1t is essential, however,
that eradication work should begin i'm
after the discovery of the
Any owner who has reason
TO suspect that canker exists in his
groves should close them to all visi-
tors and should see that neither he
nor his men visit other groves. When I
ever possible, he should send for a 1
state specialist to ascertain definitely |
the trouble is or is not cank- /
II. If no specialist is available, few
leaves may be picked off,
wrapped in paper, sealed in heavy
envelope, and forwarded either to the
itate authorities or to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The owner should thoroughly wash his
lands in a disinfectant solution after
licking these leaves.
In a majority of cases the disease
fleets first the leaves. 1t causes red
fish brown spots raised slightly above
he level of the healthy surface and
surrounded by rather in
istinct, narrow, yellowish zone. Be

WILLARD IN ACTION

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Local boxing fans will get their first peep at Jesse Willard, the worlds heavyweight champion, in his ring clothes at the Arcade gymnasium this afternoon. The champion is anxious to curb the reports and rumors that he is out of condition and over weight
 Willard will don his ring clothes and box several rounds with Andy An derson and Walter Monohan in con- nection with his other training stunts to convince the press and general pub lie that he is not the bulky 30O-pound- CT he is thought to be.
 The idea that I am over weight and cannot get back into my old con- dft1on is all foolish talk" said the champion. "As a matter of fact, ] don't weigh any more right now than the night I fought Frank Moran. ] also want to say that I am in deadly earnest about my bout with Fred Fulton for the benefit of the Red Cross and want to convince everybody that am in condition to get in shape for such a bout on short notice.
 If any idea as to WiHard's weight can be gained from outside appear. ances it must be said that his words ring with considerable truth. As he appeared today, it is doubtful if he would tip the scales at more than 27E pounds with his clothes on.
