BUTTER TO BE HIGHER THAN

Butter at the highest price since

by the Chicago Butter and Egg board
in a statement issued.

that of last winter. The warehouse

that there is an excess Of eggs, but

Butter will be higher in price this
year than We have known 1t to be in

reason for this is due to the fact that

Joint Session Arranged.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Secretary
Tumulty was summoned and given the
address to send to the public printer
The President also authorized the sec
rotary to make arrangements for the
Joint session of Congress.
Secretary Lansing followed Mr.. Tum-
ulty to the White House and details OF
the situation were gone over. About
that time the announcement that the
President would address Congress at z
o'clock was made by Mr.. Tumulty TO
newspaper men, and soon afterward the
Presidents decision became known.
The President never appeared more
cool than when he went to the Capitol
After his speech he received the con-
CALCULATIONS of senators and represent

to the White House for conferences

The story of how President Wilson
decided to break diplomatic relations
with Germany became known last
night.
The first news Of the German note
giving notice of the abandonment OF
restrictions on submarines, conveyed
to the President by Secretary Tumulty
on the basis of press dispatches. was
received by Mr.. Wilson with undis-
guised Amusement He thought Mr..
Tumulty must be mistaken. but In
few minutes word came that the note
actually had been delivered to the
State Department.
The President determined that any
decision made Immediately would be
hasty and based more on emotion than
on Judgment. That night he conferred
with no one except Secretary Lansing.
Put It Before Cabinet.
Friday. believing hasty judgments
had sufficiently cooled to begin assess
ing the true situation. he laid it before
the cabinet and asked for the opinions
of individual members. Already the
opinion had formed that the course
of the United States was almost newt
able and in this he was supported by
the cabinet officers. Some speeches
were made at the meeting. it was
learned yesterday, which stirred all
nresent. The view was general that
q supercrisis had been reached, al
though there were some preliminary
differences on the exact course which
should be followed.
The President made his trip to the
Capitol Friday afternoon. He wanted
members of the Senate to give MIN an
idea of general public sentiment.
Again his view was confirmed, for the
great majority of the senators favored
an immediate break.
The President saw no callers Friday
night Late into the night he worked
on his speech to Congress-. and then
went to bed. Yesterday morning he
read the document over again and
finally decided to take 1t to Congress.
