that an army must be well provisioned

the war times that are past an army
could largely subsist upon the country
thru which it passed, but there Is nc
living upon the country thru which
modern armies are passing. There is
no living upon the Crack or Balkan
states, ror on Salonica, so that as
Lloyd George said some time ago, the
food supply is one Of this wars great
est necessities. The greater part OF
the food supply must come from the
United States not only fo- our 1,7s0,

poultry can be effected much faster
than beef, pork, and mutton. While we

BREAK WITH GERMANY

Washington, Feb. S.-The United
States stands alone among the neu-
trails of the world in her break with
Germany.
Other nations, however. in re-
sponse to President Wilson's sugges-
ton for break. have morally sup
ported him to the extent OF protest
ing Germany's U boat warfare.
Spain's vigorous note Of protest,
the first to reach the state depart
ment. arrived today.
Press reports and unoficial indi.
cations. show that most Of the Euro
pean neutrals will not break. though
they condemn Germany's course.
This means, as authorities here
see It. that Germany is one step
nearer war with all the neutrals, al
though subsequent developments may
not draw them into the struggle. Au-
thorities had no way OF knowing
whether this wave OF moral pressure
will sway Germany, although her acts
indicate that she intends to go ahead
regardless Of world opinion.
One Of the chief results, United
States officials and neutral diplomat.
said today. may be to put Germany
on a blacklist commercially after tn,
war.
The protests, plus the United States
break, will serve to make her al
outlaw" among nations, they think
While continuance OF her warfare
may not plunge the whole world int
war the action Of all neutrals make,

THE ROGUE FISH QUESTION

AAh NSNSc rASh &OcoAAON
The Rogue river fishing bill is now
before the senate committee. and was
considered by that body Wednesday
night. but without arriving at de-
cision. It is understood. however,
that Senator Smiths bill. providing
for a longer season Of commercial
fishing below Grants Pass was favor
ably reported upon. The house bill,
as passed. failed to provide for a
longer season here. and Senator
Smith will attempt to have the mat
ter adjusted in the senate. He asks
that fishing commence here on April
18th instead of on June 1st. The
house bill permits fishing only dur
ing the months Of June and July. 1t
II believed that either Smiths bill
will be passed by the senate or that
the house bill viii be amended to
provide the longer season before 1t
Is passed by the senate. There Is no
reasonable excuse for not giving the
longer season on the upper river,
and with the prohibition Of the seine
and the set net there will be more
reason for an extended season here
because Of the greater number Of
flsh to reach these waters.

THE PRUsSIAN TREATY

Here are the pertinent articles in
the Prussian treaty OF 1928 raised
In the Gerard case:
Article 23 OF the United States
Prussian treaty OF 1893, which is re-
vised by the treaty OF 1928, which
is now in force, reads:
IF war should arise between the
two contracting parties. the mer-
chants of each country then residing
in the other, shall be allowed to re-
main nine months to collect their
debts and settle their affairs and may
depart freely. carrying of all their
effects without molestation or him
derance."
The revised article states further:
''And II is declared that neither the
pretense that war dissolves all trea-
ties. nor any other whatever, shall be
considered as annulling or suspend
ing this and the next preceding ar.
ticle; but, on the contrary, that the
state OF war is precisely that for
which they are provided and during
which they are to be sacredly OBJ
served as the most acknowledged ar.
tlcles in the law OF nature and ma.
tions."
Article IL Of the treaty OF 1885
which was revised by the treaty Of
1928, reads:
III one Of the contracting parties
should be engaged in war with any
other power, the free intercourse and
commerce OF the subjects or citizens
or party remaining neutral with tht
belligerent powers shall not be inter
rupted.
"On the contrary, in that case, al
in both cases, the vessels OF the neu
trail party may navigate freely to ant
from the ports and on the coasts oI
the Ibelligerent parties, free vessels
making free goods. insomuch that all
things that shall be adjudged free
which shall be on board any vessel
belonging to the neutral party. al
though such thing belongs to an,
enemy OF the other"
