To Stifle Country Press.

this country is now making a los
ing fight for its life. We are con.
WINGED that an organized effort is
now under way to stifle the coun.
try press. Else why is the metro
politan press SO silent on the stua-
ton! At any rate as result of
the unprecedented advance in
print paper over seven hundred
newspapers were forced to suspend
publication in the United States
during last December. In the face
of this impending crisis special
meeting of the Missouri Press AS
ISOLATION was held at St. LouSi,
January ~, to confer on the mat.

lief from the trust-if there was a
trust, The meeting was attended
by one hundred live wire publish
ers of Missouri The other seven
hundred or more remained at home,
content to let the paper pirates
rob them of their dollars. Instead
of all the men and women lover
800 of them) who print newspapers
in Missouri, lining up together to
fight this gigantic injustice, only a
small per cent seem to be awake to
the peril confronting them. A lit
tie over a year ago we were buy
ing print paper at $44 per ton.
Now we are asked to pay $I4o per
ton for an inferior grade. with still
another advance threatened.
What are we going to do about it
is still an open question.
Some time ago the officers of the
Association called on Attorney
General McAlIister at Jefferson City
relative to an investigation of the
alleged print paper trust. Later
the editors of Bates Comfy met at
Adrian to discuss the situation.
We have no prediction to offer.
All we can say is this: We have
enough paper on hand to print the
Telephone until the first of June.
After that we may have to suspend
publication. Somehow we do not
feel justified in raising the price of
our paper in order to fatten the in
come of the paper trust-if there
is trust. In the meantime il all
our friends would pay up their
subscription promptly, we would
feel encouraged to stay with the
game little while longer. The
little old home newspaper may not
be thing of beauty, and insignifi

at the Mexican border. The details
of the home bound movement of the

formal announcement had been made
Secretary Baker said: Il cannot be

In Evident Preparation For War With
United States II Seeks to Protect
German Interests
PRESIDENT HAS NATTER
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Washington Hears With Interest OF
Captain Polack's Admission That
He Was Ordered to Damage His
ship,

Washington. Feb. Application
was made to the state depart
ment today for the reaffirmation of
the treaty of 1899. which was
refused by Amba ssador James w.
Gerard in Berlin and to which he re-
fused TO attach his signature.
Almost at the coincident moment
that the document was being presented
to the state department word was re-
ceived here of the admission by Cap
tain Polack OF the warbound German
liner kronprinZessn Cecilie that her
engines had been seriously disabled at
the direct order of the imperial gov
eminent.
A distinct sensation was caused by
Captain Polack's statement
The Polack statement was accepted
as conflrmatory OF the belief entN-
tanned in official quarters that every
warhound German ship in American
waters has been wrecked between
decks II was positively stated, how
ever, that the action OF Captain
Polack and similar actions on the
part of other masters of German ships
in American waters would not hasten
action by the United States in any
present plan to seize the warbound
Teutonic ships in the event of hos
tilities.
So far as the reaffirmation Of the
1899 treaty the matter was said to
he before the president and exclusively
in his hands. The president II is said
means to confer at length on this sub
ject with the secretary of state.
Gcrmany's Request.
Germany requests that an especial
arrangement be entered into looking
to the treatment of American citizens
and property In Germany and German
subjects and their properties In the
United States and possessions, fol-
Logging on the severance Of diplomatic
relations and even after war shall
eventuate either as a result OF such
severance or through other causes.
Germany wants II guaranteed that
the treaty stipulations shall expressly
be carried out She requests that
German merchants in the United
States $50 far al the treatment of
their persons and property is con-
cerned be held in every respect on a
par with the other persons (namely
neutrals) mentioned in article 23 COT

MEANS PROMPT RETURN
OF ALL STATE TROOPS

From this dispatch II would indi-
cate that the remainder of the Nir-
ginia commands on the border would
shortly be returned to Richmond,
and be released from federal service.
At this time there are the Richmond
Blues cavalry command, signal corps.
field artillery, engineer corps and hos
pital corps on the border in all to-
falling about |, 900 officers and men.
Reports that the troops would be
relieved OF border duty have been
current in military circles for several
days. although nothing has bee. re-
ceived here in an official way to indi-
cate the withdrawal of the men. How
ever, the return of all of the troops
was looked for following the return
of the Pershing forces to American
soil. and the order issued yesterday
by Secretary Baker shows this idea to
have been correct.
Major f. w. Bowles commands the
/ Blues cavalry, composed of four
troops. In the field artillery there
are four batteries, one each from
Hampton. Norfolk, Portsmouth and
the Richmond Howitzers. This bat
talon is commanded by Major r. VI.

its personnel is drawn from both

facilities. 1t is now believed that none
of the Virginia commands will be re-
turned to Richmond for muster out
for at least thirty days.

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

Washington. Feb 1.-THE conges-
ton of freight at terminals and way
stations throughout the United states
this month broke all records for the
past ten years. The American Rail-
way association today issued a report
that the car shortage on February l.,
1917. was 109,770 as compared with a
shortage Of only 62.247 for the cars
January l. Since the last figures were
tabulated, 1t Is believed conditions
have grown worse. Relief is looked
for in the prospect of more favorable
weather and possible increase in
transatlantic cargo space, In the
meantime industry is handicapped and
business interferred with seriously in
all the great railway centers.
In the last decade the freight car
shortage of February I. has been ex-
ceeded only once. That was In No
vember, 1916. when 1t reached total
OF 114.90s cars.
1t is estimated that this has been
exceeded In the last three weeks
