WAY TO CONTROL

Injury by the OK warble amounting

be reduced to almost nothing if stock

methods Of control, according to G. A.

Kansas Agricultural college.
The presence of the OK warble is de-

be destroyed by putting Kerosene, tur-

on the opening through the skin direct

BULLETIN. Washington, Feb. 8.
10 A. M.)-Diplomatic relations
with Germany have been severed. Won
Bernstorff has been handed his pass
ports and Ambassador Gerard has
been withdrawn from Berlin.
Confident that the sentiment Of the

President Wilson came to the conclu-

for the United States to pursue if
the breaking off Of relations with
Germany brings the country to the
verge Of war.
Never in the history of the world
have two first class powers severed
diplomatic relations without hostili-
ties following. At the capitol the
news Of the Presidents decision came
like thunder bolt. Everywhere sup
port and appreciation were expressed.
Count Won Bernstorff was much a.
fected by the information when the
information reached him. His eyes
moistened and he said: I'm sorry,
however, I9expected it. There was
nothing left for the United States
to do" He said he was not surprised
and neither was his government.

New Orleans, Feb. 3--There were

and the country was still waiting for
the fateful decision in Washington,
which is expected over Sunday. At
twenty minutes to ten the flash came
that relations with Germany were
severed. Mr.. Gerard recalled and the
German ambassador handed his pass
ports. The first effect was a break
from 1875 for May to 1905 followed
by large buying by strong interests
and an immediate rally to 13.46 which
was soon extended forty points furth-
er. May trading to 1885. The buy
ing was on the idea of q thoroughly
liquidated market, q safe relation of
price level to situation, relief Of SEN

increased mill activity on military
needs. Calm consideration ID to be

BREAK IS CERTAIN.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 3-A break with
Germany on account Of the submarine
menace was regarded as inevitable in
all quarters here today. The only
question to be determined apparently
was when it should be prepared and
in what form. Some action should
be taken before Monday, was Presi-
dent Wilson's idea according 70 one
of the Is Senators who conferred with
the President at the Capital last
night. 4
Most Of the Senator's declared that
full diplomatic break was tie least
the United States could do To main
tain her honor and that Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
should be given his passports today.
A few, notably, Senators Stone and
Lewis ,counselled against assuming
that Germany's notice in itself meant
an invasion of the rights Of neutrals
and'urged diplomatic relations be con-
tinued until some overt act BY . sub
marine compelled severance.
A third course suggested by the
President, but looked upon with dis
favor by great majority Of the SEN
ators was to send another warning to
Germany. Early today no arrange
ments had been made for the Presi-
dent to address Congress.
From various points where German
ships are interned came reports that
government officials are maintaining
a close watch over the ships and
crews. Secretary Lansing strongly
advised against the sailing of Ameri-
can ships until the policy Of the Unit
ed States had been decided.
