dent Wilson, who will make the
decision, retired when the news
came. He undoubtedly will await
complete reports. The fact that
the American escaped lessened
the excitement. It's realized, how
ever, that if no American was a
victim was merely a fortunate in
cident and that it will be only the
matter of a few hours before an
American is caught. The whole
sale destruction, Lloyds reports,
shows a total of $4,000 tons in
two days, or a destruction at the
rate of $4,000 tons a month.
Naval experts have said that it
will be necessary to cut off mil
lion tons monthly in order to
completely isolate England.

Safe Conducts Assured From New York
TO Christiana

Washington, D. c., FEB. s.
Next Tuesday the whole corps of
German officials in the United
States, including Count and Coun-
tess Won Bernstorff, the embassy
suite, and consuls from all parts
of the country, will sail from New
York for Germany.
Reservations for more than zoo
persons have been engaged on
the Scandinavian liner Frederick
VIII, leaving New York Feb. 13
for Christiana. Final arrange
ments will be completed tomor-
row with officials of the company.
Meanwhile former German con-
suls throughout the country turn
ed their consulates over to care
takers to be reopened eventually
under the direction of Swiss of
ficialS, will start for New York in
time to be on hand when the ship
goes out.
Safe conducts have been re-
quested by the state department
of both Great Britain and France
for passage thru the allied block
ade, and it is believed they will
be accorded.
Every precaution is being taken
to allow no opportunity for Of
fense to the dismissed officials
and American authorities through
out the country have been re-
quested by the state department
to see that every courtesy is given.
New York was selected as the
sailing port for the German Off
cials late today, after tentative
plans had been made for them to
go by way of some southern port
to Cuba and then Spain or Italy.
British officials are understood
to have objected to this proposal,
advising that it would be wise to
avoid passage through enemy ter
ritory.

Biz Stock Loss

Word has reached here that
John ibis, a big rancher over in
the Midland country, sustained a
loss of l40 head out of 400 head
herd during the recent blizzard.
This is indeed a big loss and is
the largest that has been brought
to our notice. There undoubted-

ranchmen will be so unlucky as
was Mr.. ibis.

imp NeNleW.
The winter has been a hard
one for those handling stock, and
hay stacks have been noticeably
diminished. Continued stormy
weather has made it necessary to
feed constantly. There has been
minor losses among cattle but
these have not been as large as
many would imagine. Only a few
head here and there have been
lost in the storms. Pneumonia
and other troubles have caused
greater losses.

war situation between Germany

ers are aware that under the pre-

It is impossible to get any late

Washington, d. c., Feb. 8. =
On the basis of reports received
so far on the destruction of the
California and other ships, it is
stated authoritatively that none
of the cases constitutes an overt
act, which will lead to war with
Germany. Officials openly ex-
press the belief, however, that an
overt act is merely a question of
time.
