CUT relations
With GERMANY
HARD HIT
Germany's Scare Throws Grain
and Provisions in Panic.
Week Sees General Decline in
Wheat, Corn, Oats and Pork.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Prospects of
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Germany,
and other possible consequences of
Germany's notice of sea war witho It
limit, have overshadowed all other in
fluences during the last week in the
wheat market. The result on prices
has been a setback ranging from A
to 20A cents a bushel. Corn lost 4
c. is to 5 Is; oats IL to 5A and pro-
visions II cents to S1.55.
Biggest breaks in the value of wheat
took place in the first minute of trad
ing after the announcement of Ger
many'S new sea program. The selling
panic at this juncture caus0d a sheer
descent of Is ", but the unequalled
furry was virtually over within haif
an hour. One of the chief reasons for
the sudden steadying of the market
after such a sensational fall was the
fact that profit taking by shorts turn
ed out to be on an immense scale. a
single firm was estimated to have
been short as much as 100000
bushels.
Selling of wheat yesterday was gen
orally associated with rumors current
that an American ship had been sunk
and that loss of life had been reported
and shrewd gueSseS in regard to fresh
developments at Washington. Bearish
factors earlier in the week included n
greatly enlarged estimate of the 1915
vi cid in Canada On the other hand,
tn chief prop for the bull side of the
market was the fear that the cold
wave has wrought harm to the I'M
protected portions of the winter crop.
Owing to the fact that neither corn
nor oats are so much dependent as
wheat on the export situation, the
losses in food stuff values tho serious
were relatively narrow.
In provisions the chief effect of the
prospect that ocean shipping might be
greatly hampered was shown on pork,
which at one time collapsed $3.25 a
barrel

Two Million Men VIII Be Re-
quirement Here.
Immediate Action Is General
Staff's OutIoOks.
UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE
Establish Training Camps in
Every State Soon.
Defend Own Shores First
United States Move.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Four plans of
immediate action in case of war with
Germany have been worked out by
the general staff of the army, it was
learned today.
They involve: Using the regular
army and national guard as a nucleus
to train an army of two million year,
sending no troops to Europe during
that period.
Obtaining immediate passage of a
universal military service law and
calling out the first three classes I'M
der it.
Extensive establishment of training
camps in every state.
Putting American munition plants
and other factories to work furnish
ing supplies and munitions for an
army of two million men and con-
yerting other factories for this work.
It would be futile, army men say,
to send any of the present army to
Europe, Russia lost eighty thousand
officers in the first ten months of the
strength of the United States army.
Officers Needed.
General staff plans call for one
hundred army divisions of twenty
thousand each. Fifty thousand Off
ers would be needed At present there
are six thousand officers available
Youths reaching the years of IS,
10 and 30 the first year would be call

BACKS UP WILSON
House of Representatives En-
dorses Action Against Germany
Kansas Will Support Nation in
Amy Move That Is Made.

Following announcement that the
United States had severed diplomatic
relations with the German govern
ment, the house of representatives
adopted. resolutions endorsing the ac-
ton of President Wilson and the ma
tional house and senate. Announce
ments from Washington today created
but little comment among legislators.
The resolution, offered by Thompson,
of Morton minority floor leader, was
unanimously adopted.
Following is the resolution adopted:
The Resolution.
Whereas, Geographic news has been
received that the United States govern
ment has broken diplomatic relations
with the imperial government of Ger
many on account of it's announced sub
marine policy in violation of pledges
given to the United States government;
therefore be it resolved by the house
of representatives of Kansas this 3rd
day of February, 1917, the senate not
in session. that the speaker of the
house be directed to send message to
the president of the United States and

the state to the full extent 1t may be

crisis.

ernments note Of the 4th instant
might appear to be susceptible of that
construction.
I'm order, however, to avoid any
misunderstanding, the government of
the United States notifies the imperial
government that it cannot for mo-
ment entertain, much less discuss,
suggestion that respect by German
naval authorities for the rights of citi-
Zens of the United State upon the high
seas should in any way or in the
Slight degree be made contingent
upon conduct of any other govern
ment, affecting the rights of neutra;s
and non-com batants. Responsibility
in such matters is single, not joins;
absolute, not relative
ITO this note of the Sth of May, the
imperial German government made no
reply.

Washington, Feb. Senator
Thomas of Colorado today introduced
a resolution authorizing the issuance

able the government to put the coun-
try in a state of military and naval
preparedness.
While senate leaders denied they
were ready to authorize huge expendi-
lures at this time unless the president
asked for them, the action of Senator
Thomas points clearly to the fact that
there is general sentiment in favor
of getting the nation ready for war,
If complications continue to get worse.

Guard in Excellent
Shape, Gen. Martin Says.
Recent Service on Border Made
Men Fit Soldiers.
FOREIGN INVASION UNLIKELY
Internal Outbreaks May Keep
All Troops Busy, However.
Topeka Military Authorities
Say Navy Will Do Fighting.

In event of a declaration of war
with Germany and the need of trained
troops, Kansas is prepared. Two thou
sand men, all of whom are just out of
service with six or seven months of
training to their credit, could be turn
ed over to the federal government on
short notice.
c. I. Martin. adjutant general, was
Enthusiastically reticent today in re-
lation to anything bearing upon
probabilities" He would not discuss
the probable action of the war depart
ment in event of war, nor any matter
relating to the distribution of troops
kansas is in excellent shape no
matter what turn affairs take" said
General Martin. 1.-The National Guard,
composed of about two thousand men,
has been mustered out only a short
time. The men have seen six or
seven months of service on the border
and while they have had no actual
fighting they have had training and
discipline
Foreign Invasion Unlikely.
"Altho many of them may be slight
ly overfed on that sort of thing and
might not be exceptionally anxious to
start all over again, I think, on the
whole, that the guard is in much bet
ter shape for what may come than it
was before the border trouble. They
have been out of the service long
enough to become soft but it would
not take long to put them thru the
hardening process"
Altho General Martin would not dis
cuss it, other army men say there
would be no occasion for the use of a
United States army outside the bor-
ders of this country; that if the guarI
is called or an army is drafted it will
be used in guard duty in this country.
Outbreaks in many localities where
there is an unna.uraliZed foreign ele-
ment are looked for, particularly i'll
mining localities. Army men look for
trouble around munitions factories.
Troops would be needed in such
places.
One army man said today that in
event of real trouble, he expected to
see training camps established over
the country whore troops would be
trained to readiness. However, the
same man said that in his opinion, the
navy would be the only part of the
fighting equipment of the United
States used in case of war with Ger
many.
In the opinion of the few military
experts in Topeka there is little chance
for a Kansas guardsman or a drafted
man from Kansas to see any real
fighting, unless he joins the navy.
