.,S, NOW
IN STATE
Of WAR!
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 10-The United States
and Germany are on the verge
of open hostilities.


With the virtual state OF war
existing as a result of the ruthless
sinking by German submarines of
three Amriean freighters, it is now
believed inevitable that the first
meeting between an armed Ameri-
can merchant vessel and U-boat
will mark the opening of actual
hostilities.
Semi-official view is united that
Germany's destruction of three
American vessels with possible
loss of 20-odd American lives
leaves no question that the kaiser
has forced this government into a
state of war.
It probably will have been
found to have existed since the
American steamer Algonquin was
sunk last Wednesday.
The state Of armed neutrality
in which this govrnment was
placed by the president continues,
although it apparently has failed
of its object, to prevent sinking OF
such ships as the Laconia, Algon-
quin, the City of Memphis, the Ill
inois and the Vigilancia.
! Immediate announcement by
President Wilson of the course OF
action he intends to take in reply
to Germany's latest affront on the
high seas, was forecast by officials
today.
Some believed he would call
congress into session at once in
order to have that body on hand
| for consultation.
Others believed he might issue
a proclamation empowering Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels to use
the emergency fund appropriated
in pursuit of a policy more ag-
excessively to protect American
shipping.
The navy may be called upon
to take vigorous hand. searching
out and destroying submarines.
Any call for an army undoubt-
eddy will await full authorization
from congress under declaration
! of war.

Construction of a joint city and

headquarters is being discussed

and county commission Monday
afternoon.
A tentative proposition was
sent TO the council Monday morn

of the county commissioners an
nounced that the county would
furnish a site for the new build
ing.
The proposed site is on G

the county and city jails be con-
solidated for purposes of econo-
my, and that police headquarters
and police court be established in

There is little likelihood that
the building can be erected this

my only objection to the plan
is that the site is little incon-

Although we would have a
modern jail, and would cut ex-
penses in its operation, the wear
and tear on police autos, because
of the steep hills would almost
offset the economy.
