MOnteVideo.-Urug uay'S break with
Germany came To pass early Sunday

mercial relations with the German EN-
pire.
To adopt measures to facilitate
navigation, in cooperation with the
friendly nations. and measures TO as
sure importation and expectation.
The president acted promptly on
the first point and took immediate
steps toward action on the second. In
n speech TO congress he made it clear
that Uruguay enters the war ON the
side of the United States not because
Of any particular grievance. but TO
align itself with the cause of liberty
and justice.
Passports We're issued on Sunday to
tne German diplomatic and consular
officials. Uruguay gives guarantees
for their personal safety until they
are out of the country. AT the same
time cable orders We're dispatched to
Berlin ordering all Uruguayan Off
Gals in Germany to leave for home
Immediately.
4 note to the German foreign office
expresses the assumption that the
same guarantees given German Off
Gals in Uruguay will be given to Uru-
guayan officials of Germany. These
steps were decided upon at Il meeting
of the president with the cabinet.
1t is expected that Montevideo will
be converted into a base of operation
for the allied fleets.

This puts retailers up in the air and
they neve know whether they are
going to have a big stock left on their
hands or sell out. One retailer stated
yesterday that last Christmas he found
himself with a big number OF turkeys
on his hands and lost SIS on them.
For this reason grocerynen are
leary about buying large numbers of
turkeys. The market is so tickle that
1t cannot be depended upon. The pub

may conclude to be economical and
