Note OF CAUTION
RISE IN PRICE CAUSES RESTRIC'
TION IN TRADE.

New York, March 26.-Dun's re-
view of trade says:
Neither legitimate business nor
speculative markets have been dis
turbed by the recent significant
events in the foreign situation. In
producing and distributing channels
as in banking circles, caution con
tinues general and many interests
are still waiting. but there is no lack
of the confidence which is essential
to the economic welfare of the ma
ton. That activity has abated i'm
some branches in about all sections
is not surprising in view of the un-
exampled rise i'm prices and the linn

previously carried and nearly every
where commitments for the far flu
ture are undertaken with confidence.
With more open weather less is heard
of delays in transportation and the
adjustment of the railway labor con
%troversy has removed an unsettling
and retarding element. Difficulty in
obtaining raw materials has not been
eliminated, however. and manufac-
turing operations remain hindered

HEAVY FAB OF SNOW AND
THICK ICE WILL RAISE
STREAMS.

Pierre. March 26.-South Dakota
and all towns along the Missouri
river will experience severe floods
this spring. according 10 forecasts
made By many pioneer residents Of
the state who have studied the situa-
ton. These forecasts are based on
REPORTS from throughout the north
west which indicate that last winter,
in point of snowfall. vas one of the
worst in "A decade. An unusual
amount of snow has been recorded all
over the northwest. as well as i'm
South Dakota.
As another feature, contributing
to this prediction. il is pointed out
that the ice on all streams i'm the
state this year is unusually thick and
is still solidly frozen, the late win
ter having afforded no opportunity
for a gradual thaw. With the COM
ing of warm weather. it is expected
that the ice will melt rapidly and 90
out with a rush.
Old Missouri river steamboat men
call attention TO the fact that the ice
coating on the Missouri river this
year is much heavier than usual and
declare this foreshadows a condition
which may prove disastrous TO many
towns along the river, as well as TO
farm lands lying in the river valley.
Should there be a quick thaw,
brought on by a series of chinook
winds along the upper stretches of
the stream during the latter part OF
March or early April. the men pre-
diet that the ice will break loose and
AT many points form ice gorges which
will block the river. flooding adjacent
lands.

normal fall. is reported in the yell

Technically. congress refused the
president permission to arm and de-

whelming majority in favor of the
action. Later circumstances have
made 1t imperative that defense be
made, and the various departments
OF the army and navy are making
preparations on a scale almost equal
to that of war time. Men are want

campaign will be inaugurated for OBJ

Perhaps the branch of service
which appeals most to young men of

Now Under Way

Petrograd, Dec. 17.-Announcement
was made Sunday by the Bolsheviki Of
fetal news agency that Russia and
Germany had agreed on the terms OF
an armistice. Leon Trotzky, foreign
minister. declared at a meeting of the

workmens delegates last night that an
armistice would be signed by today.
He added that peace negotiations would
be begun Immediately after the armis-
tice had been signed. Asserting that
q break in armistice arrangements had
seemed imminent because General
Hoffman, the German negotiator, in
sisted on the right to transfer troops
in small units. he announced that the
commander had accepted the Russian
position. Both sides, he said, signed
an agreement binding themselves until
January IL, 1918, not to carry on opera
tions of military transfers on a front
from Baltic to Black Sea except such
transfers as were already begun up

ment.

Chief in interest now is the nation

August 1 by the senate by vote of

by the house today three-fourths Of the

ton coming to vote today.
