Washington statistics to prove that

since the beginning of the German
submarine blockade have been regu-
lated to meet the reduced export ia
cilities in those ports. These figures

100000 bushels were delivered to
vessels at the four ports, compared
with a delivery OF 29,00O,O00 bushels
in January and 100000 bushels in
December. The report shows further
that between these dates permits were
issued for transportation Of z, 0oO. 900
bushels to fill future cargo shipments,

railroads have succeeded in regulating
the movements of all export freight TO

standing the decrease in expectation.

SAY TURKS III =. WILL 1
FIGHT TO FINISH
AND NEVER QUIT
New Turkish Grand Vizier
. Says Race Will Never Be
Driven Into Asia.

London, Feb. 23.-Turkeye will fight
to the last man to retain Constantine
pie, declared Talaat Bey, the new
Turkish Grand Vizier, in a statement
before the Chamber on the policy of
the new cabinet, according to Con-
stantinople telegram forwarded by
Reuters Amsterdam correspondent.
After referring to the sacrifices Tur-
key had already made, Talaat Bey
said:
eve begin our labors in full con-
seriousness OF the heavy responsibility
we are assuming. Our country, which
has always been exposed to external
difficulties, has found itself compelled
to make sacrifices such as our past
never knew.
Z "Our enemies have declared their
intention Of thrusting us back into the
depths of Asia Minor, turning us out
of Constantinople and driving us from
the Straits. To these ridiculous threats
of our enemies, who took flight at the
Dardanelles as the, result of the de-
feat inflicted upon them by our valiant
army, we reply that we shall not re-
hnquish Constantinople as long as
there is a single Ottoman left.
1--WE shall persevere in this gigantic
struggle in. close fraternity Of arms
with our brave and victorious allies
until we have compelled our enemies
to recognize our rights to existence,
That Is our aim"
It was impossible in the present
great crisis to undertake important
internal reforms, Talat Boy declared,
as the efforts of the nation must be
concentrated on the difficulties created
by the war.
The chamber passed a unanimous
vote of confidence in the government.
/ Germany has made a new loan to
Turkey Of AZ, 100000 Turkish pounds
$193, 900, o00), according to a Reuter- s
despatch from Amsterdam quoting a
Constantinople despatch printed in the
German newspapers. A bill authoriz-
ing the acceptance of the loan was
introduced in the Turkish Senate on
Tuesday. david Boy, Minister of FL
nance, in discussing the bill, said that
since the outbreak of the war Ger
many and Austria Hungary had ad-
vanced to Turkey 100000 pounds
GOO, 600, 000), repayable II years after
peace is declared. q.
David ,Bey said that his trips to
Berlin had convinced him that Ger
many would do anything possible to
facilitate Turkeys payment or her
debts and was ready, apart from the
advances already made, to give the
money necessary for reorganization
after the war. The minister declared
that if these hopes were realized and
100, 900, 600 to 15O,0O0,00O pounds (45,0O0,-
600 to $67, 300, 0O0) were obtained to be
spent ON agriculture, railway building
and roads Turkey would be able in IL
years to cover her ordinary expendi-
lures and interest on her national
debt, as well as on debts contracted
during the war.
| The bill authorizing acceptance OF
the loan also authorized the issue Oh
80, O0o, 900 pounds GA, DOT, 000) in bank
notes. david Bey stated that these
bank notes were not paper money, but
would be cashed by Germany in gold
He expressed surprise that these notes
were decreasing in value and that THE
public was giving three pounds II
lpaper for one pound in gold.

some as pacifist, took the last step in the march he began, when he &C., cepted responsibility for the Armed Neutrality bill, by supporting vigor- ously the Presidents demand for wal and handling the resolution embody- ing that demand. Senator Kirby of Arkansas, a Democratic member of the little group of Willful men,, an- nounced that as war was inevitable he would not weaken the country $ stand before the world by voting against the resolution. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who refused to sign the manifesto of Senators supporting the Armed Neu- trality bill, announced his support of the war resolution in a ringing plea for the destruction of the bloody. dynasty of Hohenzollern," and his col league, Senator Cummins, who fought the Armed Neutrality bill with all his the war resolution.
 As this gradual drift manifested itself more and more in the direction demanded by the country, old observ- CTS, inured to the deliberate processes of the Senate, got, perhaps, an added sense of climax from the debate. To them the apparently endless addresses were the breathless hush before the breaking of a tornado, They knew what the end would be; everybody knew it; and they could read it's ter rfble significance in the most casual utterances of the day.

SENATE PASSES

Only Six Votes Are Registered Against Measure Which is Adopted After Lengthy Debate Stirring Scenes as Day of Debate Reaches Climax in Passage of War Declaration by Overwhelming Majority.

leries. On the floor the Senators themselves were unusually grave and quiet. Many of them answered to their names in voices that quivered with emotion.
 The resolution was adopted in the form approved by the Committee on Foreign Relations. Only one effort was made to change the comittee's s draft. That was in a substitute offer ed by Senator McCumber of North Dakota, in which the United States would simply proclaim certain princi- pies of international laws with the warning that war would be made on any country violating them. MT. Mo Cumber cast the only vote for the sub stitute.
 Throughout the long hours of dis. cussion only five speeches were made against the resolution, and all efforts fin opposition to 1t ceased with the con- clusion of MT. La Fonette's four-hour attack on the President and defense of Germany's course. The remaining hours of the session was consumed by brief statements from Senators, one after the other. telling why they re-

garded was as necessary, how they had gradually come to change from advocates of peace to believers that war was essential to the safety and honor of the nation.
 The debate, slow-moving az much Tor 1t was, postponing for weary hour after weary hour the declaration for which the country waited, was in it. self the continuation of almost three years of intermittent discussion.
 That long discussion had the same subject on the part of most Senators as the days debate, resentment of German outrages of every sort. mur- 'ders on the high seas, affronts te americans in Germany, and gross violation of American hospitality by the Imperial representatives in the United States. During these three years, as was again the case today there was 8 bipartisan minority de- lending the acts of Germany, extenu- ating her offenses, end doing every thing to hold the United States back from vigorous assertion of her rights. Both these aspects were summed up in the speeches, and both aspects seemed to lead to the end of the days debate-a solemn declaration of war
 
 For the subject matter of discussion has been increased from month to month by new German outrages, while the defenders of Germany in the Senate have presented con stantly dwindling front. The vote, which every recent event insured would be overwhelming, might be be regarded as the point of intersection of these two converging lines of change.
 The loss of American sympathy for Germany was never more evident than 1t was in the proceedings in the Sen. ate. Senator Stone of Missouri, chair man of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations, still held out for submission to German dictation, as did Senator Var daman of Mississippi And three Republican Senators spoke against l war-La Toilette of Wisconsin; Gron- na of North Dakota and Norris of Nevada.

Washington, April 5-At Il nin- utes past II o'clock last night the Sen ate, in the presence of a great throng on the floor and in the galleries, pass ed the resolution declaring war on Germany, and pledgfng all tho ~9- sources of the United States for it's successful prosecution.
 While the recorded vote was S2 to 6, the Senate's true alignment on the question of war Is 90 to 6, as the ab- sent Senators all favored the resolu- ton. The House is expected to pass an identical resolution today by n still more overwhelming vote.
 The six Senators opposing the de- claration were equally divided be- tween the two parties. They were La Toilette of Wisconsin, Gronna of North Dakota, and Norris of Ne hraska. RepubHcanss and Stone of Missouri, Lane of Oregon, and Varda- man of Mississippi, Democrats.

Lecture Greatly Enjoyed

The lecture by John Lewtas We'd
nesday night on 'tThe World War"
was a very graphic description of
conditions in the war zone. His
vivid word pictures were supple
mented by lantern slides taken on
the battle fronts and in various
parts of France and Belgium.
Mr.. Lewtas told why the war
started and number of the causes
that led up to the great conflict and
showed conclusively why the United
States, in order to retain her ma
tional honor, was forced to take a
part in it. His descriptions of the
suffering, the bravery and heroism
displayed by the Belgians and the
manner in which these WONDERFULLY
patriotic people have fought for
their homes and countries, will no
doubt act as spur to the patriot
ism of his audiences wherever he
delivers his lecture.
Mr.. Lewtas was war correspon-
dent at the breaking out of the
war, for the London Times and was
in the trenches and under fire.
The fact that he saw things of
which he spoke made his lecture
very impressive.
The community is indebted to
Prof. White for getting Mr.. Lewtas
to fill lecture engagement here.
All money over and above the ex-
pense of the lecture and Incidental
expenses was turned over to the
piano fund for the school. About
thirty dollars was realized by the
school.
After the lecture Mr.. White and
Mr.. Green were hosts at little
dinner party at the Hotel Kendrick,
in honor of Mr.. Lewtas. The
teachers, members of the school
board and few guests were invit
ed and spent an hour of genuine
pleasure. The dinner was delight.
fully served by Mrs. White anc
Miss Vivian and the interesting
stories of travel told by Mr.. Lew
tas, will remain as a pleasant mem
ory of the evening.

Deer a White Elephant

r. w. McKown and S. D. Clark
of the northern part of the county
were in Moscow Thursday on an un-
usual mission. Last winter Mr..
McKown's boy, little chap of II,
and Mr.. Clark caught young deer
doe in snow bank. They took it
home and cared for it through the
winter. In the spring it broke
away and joined a herd of cattle in
the neighborhood. There it re-
mained until short time ago when
Mr.. McKown recovered it and took
it home again where it is now per-
fectly tame. The question arose as
to whether the animal could be
kept as a pet under the law. The
trip to Moscow was made to consult
j. ]. Keane, deputy game warden,
as to what could be done with the
animal. After thumbing over the
laws, rules and regulations Mr..
Keane announced that he could find
nothing covering the case and would
be forced to refer the matter to the
game warden at Boise.-Star-
