sent out bulletin on this very subject,

The United States Department OF
Agriculture through the States Re

the matter. The fertilizer manufac-

overcome the transportation difficult

Young bulls are ruined for breeding,

given an opportunity to show traits

SUMMARY

Whether President Wilson al- ready has sent Germany note, or what action he has taken is not known, but a decision has been reached.
 Apparently Germany's action has forced the American govern ment to break off relations with Germany.
 1t will mean the withdrawal of Ambassador Gerard and the whole embassy from Berlin and the clos ing of the embassy at Washington.
 Austria is unofficiaIly reported to have made a similar war zone declaration, and Turkey is expect ed to hourly.
 Wilson's cabinet meets today. 1t is rumored President Wilson will go before Congress. He pre- ViousIy promised he would inform that body before breaking reia- tions with any country.
 Other neutral powers have re- ceived same note from Germany. Holland has forbidden sailing of all vessels,
 Wild sessions reign in stocks, grains and cotton markets.

The chancellor opened the sit- ting with a speech of which the key note words were: We have been challenged to fight to the end. We accept the challenge. we stake every thing and we shall be victorious"
 The chancellor explained why in March and May last year he had op- posed unrestricted submarine war and why again in September. accord ing to the unanimous judgment of the political and military authorities, the question was not considered ripe for decision"
 The chancellor repeated his previ- ous utterances that as soon as he, in agreement with the supreme army command, reached the conviction that ruthless submarine war would bring Germany near a victorious peace. then the U-boat war would be started
 By this development Of the situa- ton the decision concerning subma- rine warfare has been forced into the last acute stage" said the chancellor "The question of Uboat war. as mem- bers of the reichstag will remember. has occurred three times in this com- mittee. mainly within March, May and September of last year.

 Feb 1 (by aeroplane to Colum

 day entered on the last lap of its
 withdrawal from Mexico. When
 it recrosses the border line on
 February ,, there will have passed
 327 days since the first troops
 left the United States in pursuit
 of Francisco Villa.
 CclorfuI Journey.
 Surpassing in interest the secrecy that has cloaked the troop movements has been the exodus of MeXicans along the American line of communi- cation. On foot, in rickety wagons, on burros and scrawny ponies they are proceeding and flanking the long columns of marching troops. Figures compiled before the evacuation of Colonia Dublan, until recently the permanent field headquarters of the expedition, show that nearly 2,000 Mexicans and 800 Chinese. most of the latter having been employed by the troops, had packed their scanty belongings and taken advantage of the American offer of protection to migrate to the border.
 Refugees by Thousands.
 When the last stragglers arrive at the border and are taken in charge by the American authorities, it is esti- mated by the army intelligence de- partment that there will be 5000 Mex jeans and 800 Chinese to be cared for by the United States. This con- pilation does not include the hundreds who have fled to Juarez by rail over the Mexican Northwestern.
