LONDON EXPECTS GERMANY TO
DECLARE WAR ON U. S.
London, March PA declaration
of war by Germany against America
within the next few days would not
surprise British officials. From va
TiOus meager bits of news filteTing
out of Germany today, such a step
was indicated. One report via Am
sterdam had it that German officials
had warned American newspapermen
in Berlin that a state of war was ex-
pected within 48 hours.
In the viewpoint of many officials,
the present week may be the turning
point of the war. America has ap-
parently definitely cast the die
against Germany. The Teutonic re-
treat on the western front is now
reaching the new ''EIindenburg line"
Persistent reports continue of vio-
lent TiOting in Germany.

NEUTRALS MAY TRY TO SETTLE
U. SHERMAN TROUBLES
Washington, March y. - That
neutral nations may renew their pre-
viOUs offers to assist in 'stTaighten-

and Germany was suggested at the
state department today.
Several neutral diplomats called
on Sec'y Lansing during the fore
noon, but none claimed to be taking
part in such a move.
When Germany and the United
States broke relations a number of
neutrals then offered their services
to do anything we can to prevent
trouble"
This country, however, will nego-
tate neither with Germany, directly
nor with her through neutTals, until
the imperial government has with
drawn it's U-boat decree and renewed
it's pledges to the United States.

Sioux City, July 25.-Another
heavy supply of hogs arrived at the
local yards today, but the market
stood the strain. prices ruling steady

this made the deal look stronger on
paper. Tops landed at $3.50, while
the bulk of all sales ranged from
SASS q 14.90.
Cattle receipts dropped back to
moderate proportions, estimate call
ing for 1000 head, as against 1880 a
week ago and 545 the corresponding
day a year ago.
Big end of the run was in killing
grades and there was a showing of
right good yearlings included. A
new top for the year being reached
on yearlings, 1925 being paid for
three loads of Iowa and Nebraska
cattle. General market was quoted
as steady. grassers showing the full

Stocker and feeder demand was
quiet with prices showing further

MEN FOR farm WORK
TEN MEN AVAILABLE AT ONCE
DELAY MEANS NOT BEING
ABLE TO GET HELP.

VIM. Rowland said today that he
had about 10 men listed who are
looking for work on the farm in hay
ing and harvest. They are described
as being good men. willing to work
for the going wage for such work.
and not looking out for the future
of the laboring race by holding their
intermittent services up TO a price
which will make the bloated capital
lists shudder. 1t is plainly seen from
this that the |. w. w. hasn't got them
all yet.
Harvest has hardly begun yet. but
haying will occupy a number of men.
Farmers are showing a disposition to
delay the securing of help until about
the first of August, when there will
be a still greater scarcity of help.
The high wages paid for men on
street and in industrial work this
summer will make the shortage of
other years seem like a crowded con
dition in comparison.

OUR COUNTRY AND THE WAR

One present hope is that the Brit
ish and French armies in Western
France will in the near future con-
vince the Germans of the helpless
ness of their struggle. But if that
fails, Americans must come to real
volved in a struggle that will require
all of it's resources, all the valor and
endurance of its people to prosecute
to finish; that at least two great
armies must be sent abroad; that
the submarine must be met as be-
comes a courageous people of high
purpose--all this, and whatever else
that may be demanded by those who
guide our destinies.
1t may become necessary to con-
vince the world that ours is really
word: that upon us is imposed the
solemn duty of paving the way for
the worlds redemption.
We cannot evade destiny. We are
IN a state OF War ana we must see
it through. That our country was
established for a mighty purpose is
plain enough; that we have been
afforded such prosperity and ad
Vancements as never came to ma
tion before may be but the prepar-
alton for such a struggle as will ter
inmate, either in triumph. or in such
disasters as will almost change the
face of nature.
In our dmmed vision we can peer
but a short distance into the future,
but one thing is certain--all sacri-
fees must be met; all the valor of
the nation must be enlisted to carry
us through the struggle and enable
us to demonstrate that the American
people are great enough to do their
duty to themselves and all mankind.
