TREASON IN J. s. AGAINST KAISER CLAIMED Germany Says U. s. Given Zimmerman Note
 By Traitor

BERLIN, Friday, March 9.-Ar official statement by the imperial government was published yesterday in which it justifeS the attempt by Germany to secure an alliance with Mexico and Japan in event of war with the United States. 1t also charges that the Zimmerman note fell into the possession of America by aid of traitor to Germany.
 In the statement the government said:
 Tt is now known by what means the American government acquired knowledge of the instructions trans mitted by secret ways to Bernstorfi and on to Mexico. 1t seems that treason, and treason it probably is, has been committed on American ter ritory."
 As a justification the imperial gov ernment sets forth the following con tention; touching the severance of di- plomatic relations. Tt was not only right but also the duty of the government to take meas ures in time to counter balance the joining of an additional ally on the side of our enemies"

STUD PRICES ADVANCE $1
 MILE EASTWARD
Potatoes Worth $2,5OO In Washington, Sell At
 $6,0OO In N. Y.

GASTON, Ore.-(SpeciaI. )-Farm- CTS in this district have discovered that potatoes increase in value at the rate of $1 mile as they travel to the east. A car of 655 sacks standing on the track here is worth $2,500 When it reaches the New York market it's value rises to $6,0OO. Farmers in February received the highest price yet paid for potatoes here, $3.25 a hundredweight. Eighteen cars are en route and loading and many growers are holding for higher pries.
 Supply Limited
 Seattle, Feb. 24.-Depleted stocks of potatoes, with prices out of the reach of a majority of consumers and practically every large buyer in America inquiring in Washington for quotations and the visible supply is the dominating feature of the whole sale produce market today.
 Exhaustive efforts are being made by resident brokers and jobberS and outside buyers to ascertain the hold ings on the eSat and west side of the Cascade mountains, representing the two grades of spuds- From the best information obtainable it is estimated today that there are between 125 and 150 carloads in storage here, and less than 100 cars in the entire Yakima valley.
 The bulk of Puget sound potatoes are being held in Seattle. There are about twenty cars at Mount Vernon and only a few sacks in the island sections. Chicago and Mlnneapolls are actively in the market for any kind of potatoes, and since it was the outside buyers who began originally to boost the Washington market, resi- dent dealers will venture no opinion as to what limit may be placed on holdings before the spring cleanup.
 Predictions of $1OO to $125 per ton for No. 1 Yakima Gems are heard, and as Puget sound spuds follow within $1O of the level of Gems, some abnormal attitudes are now feared.
