CABINET DECIDES TO
BREAK GERMAN RELATIONS.

Pekin, March 4.-The cabinet to-
day decided that China should join
the United States in breaking off
relations with Germany. This deci-
sion was submitted to the president,
who refused to approve the cabinets
action, saying such power rested en-
tirely with him. Premier Tuan Chi
Jul Immediately resigned and left
for Tien-Tsin, accompanied by sew
ersl other members of the cabinet.
The resignation of the entire cabi-
net is expected.
Parliament is virtually unanimous
in favor of the opinion of the cabi-
net. The leaders of the political par
ties are adversely criticising the
presidents position. The vice-presi-
dent of the republic supports the
cabinet.
An official statement issued from
the presidents office says that the
break between the president and the
premier was due to personal differ
ences rather than to foreign policy.
President Ii Yuan Hung has sent
representatives to Tien-Tsin to in
duce the premier to return to Pc
kin.
According to the presidents Office
the immediate cause of the break
was dispatch sent to the Chinese
minister at Toxic, committing China
to a rupture of relations with Ger
many and a union with the Entente
powers under certain conditions.
The president refused his approval
because, he declared, Parliament
must sanction all measures contemp-
lating war as we'll as a direct declar-
alton of war
President Ii Yuan justifies his
position by Article 80 Of the provi-
sional constitution, which reads as
follows:
"Thc provisional president shall
have power with the concurrence Of
the national council to declare war
ard conclude treaties"

made with new promoters to sink
wells in this parish. Negotiations
for more land is the order of TIE

leased SOM forty acres Of and, and

forty days that derrick viii be in

take the promoters of this company
very long to raise the NECESSARY
amount of money to insure the first

is the intention Of the Board to dis
pose of sufficient stock to insure a
second well before they will close
their subscription list. This being
the case those who hold out too long
will be denied the privilege of Sc
curing stock as was the case that
made such fire showing at Little

it is more than probable there will
be upwards of forty derricks be-

already been put into circulation By
the Gulf Oil Company and other in

CUT OVER LAND CON.
FERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, La, March 5-On
account of the great interest taken
in the Cut Over Land Conference of
the South by government officials at
Washington, and some of the largest
cut over land owners the conference
has been postponed thirty days.
The dates finally decided upon for
holding the conference in New
Orleans are April 18th, 18th and
10th. The change in dates was
made at the suggestion of these
government officials and land
owners, in order that they may be
present.
On being invited to attend the
New Orleans meeting of the con-
ference, President Wilson expressed
himself as being very much interest
ed in the great movement towards
Southern developent, but held out
little hope that the international
situation would permit his being pre-
sent. The government will be re-
presented by Congressman Lever,
Chairman of the house Committee
on Agriculture, and Senator Gore,
Chairman Of the Senate Committee
on Agriculture and Forestry. These
gentlemen, together with the Chief
of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry
Of the Department Of Agriculture,
puts the owners of the cut over
lands of the South in touch with
such National forces as will guaran-
tee thorough development Of the
vast area of their now unGeveloped
holdings. 1t also means that the
Cut Over Land Conference of the
South is not local affair, but Of
National scope. The ownership of
more than a hundred millioh acres
of land will be represented at the
Conference in New Orleans, April
18th, 18th and 10th.

AN ARRIVAL AT IDITAROD SAYS
 TRAIL IS BAD

IDITAROD.--Dr J. Wilson Reed of the Marshall City camp, on the lower Yukon, arrived in Iditarod over the trail from Seward during February.
 He left for the outside last fall, and has been visiting relatives for the past few months. Dr. Reed formerly was located at Bethel, on the Kusko- kwim, but for the past few years has been practicing his profession at vari- ous points along the Yukon. He is accompanied by Tony Mcdonald.
 Dr. Reed says that the trail condi- tious between Susitna and Anderson's, on the Seward-Tditarod trail, have been worse this year than ever before known. In January heavy rains washed away the snow, leaving a ridge of ice on the trail. Then came heay Snowstorm, with fall of seven feet, making travel difficult in the extreme. Dr. Reed and his travel ing companion came through from Susitna with Ellexson, the mail car rier, and at times, snowshoeing ahead of the dog teams, they were days ir negotiating distance which is Ordin- arily but a few hours run. He says that Ellexson's failure to ge the mail through in time was due to trail con ditions, and not to his refusal to take out the mail because of lack of com pensatiOn, as had ben reported.-Pio- neer.)

AS a result of these uncalled for
