WHEAT is SAVED BY SNOW
Agricultural Board of State Claims
Fall to be Worth Millions Of Dollars.

Columbus, O.-While the storm,
which swept the Ohio Valley states
and covered them with a deep blanket
of snow, inconvenienced hundreds OF
thousands of persons, caused trains to
run hours late, and compelled many
to walk to work when the ordinary
street car service failed, it's potential
possibilities for good are seen far out
weighing these temporary discomforts
An average of foot was the amount
that fell over practically the entire
state OF Ohio. In some places the pre-
cipitation was even heavier, as there,
were pockets" in which the storm
reached great ferocity
But of vast importance to the state.
as seen by the state board of agricul-
ture, is the protection that will be af-
forded to the wheat crop. This is a.
matter of consequence 10 all citizens,
as they now are paying higher prices:
for food than at any time since the.
Civil War. The blanket will afford a
good protection to the plants, whose
growth was delayed by the unfavora-
BILE weather of the fall.

MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The relations OF the United States
with Mexico became more strained
during 1916 than at any previous time
during the years of civil war that fol-
lowed the retirement of President Por-
flrio Diaz. They approached crisis
early in the year when. on January III,
nineteen men, nearly all of them
Americans, were taken from a train
near chihuahua and killed by a land
of bandits.
Conditions became still more tense
when, on March 8. several hundreA
bandits led by Villa rafded and burned
the town of Columbus, N. NJ, killing
nine American civilians and eight Uni
ted States soldiers. March 10, Presi-
dent Wilson ordered 5000 United
States troops into Mexico to catch
villa.
General Carranza, head of the de
facto government in Mexico, began
soon to display antagonism toward the
i American expedition and on March II
he issued orders forbidding American
troops from entering Mexican towns.
He also refused to grant permission
for the American forces to use the
Mexican railroads for the transporta-
ton of supplies.
April II, a detachment of United
States troops was attacked by Carran-
"a troops and citizens of Parral. Two
Americans and 40 Mexicans were kill
ed in the encounter. The following day
Carranza demanded the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico, but
his demand was ignored. The pursuit
of Villa came to a standstill, however
because of the hostility of Carranza.
May 81, General Carrapza again de
manded the withdrawal Of the United
States troops from Mek1co on peril OF
recourse to arms" .. sAd followed this
up on June 16 with & definite threat Of
attack unless the troops were with
drawn northward. The following day
re-enforcements were rushed to the
United States troops in Mexico anC
within a, short time the eXpeditionary
force aggregated about $1,000 men
June 1S, the war department ordered
all the state militia mobiliZed and with
in the next two weeks $4,000 of th'
state soldiers had been rushed to th'
border.
A detachment Of American troop
was attacked by Carranza troops u
, Carrizal, June 81, and twelve Ameri
cans were killed and II captured.

WAR AND THE UNITED STATES

Diplomatic difficulties growing out
of the war in Europe continued to
confront the United States govern
ment throughout the past year. The
submarine controversy with Germany,
which had been more or less acute
since the sinking of the Lusitania, was
intensified March 2, when the British
Channel steamer Sussex and the Brit
ish steamer Englishman, both of which
carried Americans, were torpedoed
and sunk without warning. This oc-
Cured about two weeks after congress,
at the urging of the president, had re-
fused to adopt resolution warning
Americans to remain off armed mer-
chant ships of the belligerents. The
german government at first denied any
responsibility for the attack on the
Sussex, and on April IS President Will
son addressed q note which amounted
practically to an ultimatum to the Ger
man government. In this note the pres
ident declared that unless Germany
Immediately declared and effected an
abandonment of it's methods of sub
marine warfare against passenger and
freight-carrying vessels, the United
States could "have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
German empire altogether" Ger
many's reply TO this note, received in
Washington May 5, promised compli-
ance in the future with the laws of
warfare In its submarine operations.
A supplementary note from Berlin, re-
ceived May 10, admitted that the Sus-
sex was torpedoed, expressed regret,
offered indemnity and declared that
the submarine commander had been
punished. No further serious contro-
versy occurred with Germany until
after the sinking of the Marina, with
Americans aboard, October %. 1t was
charged that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning. After an investiga-
ton Germany assumed responsibility
for the sinking of the boat, declaring
that the captain of the submarine
thought the Marina an armed trans
port.
An interchange of notes between the
United States and the entente govern
ments, regarding the seizure and exam
ination of American mails, was produc-
tive of little result. In several COM
munications Great Britain and France
insisted upon their rights to examine
neutral mails, but on October II they
made some slight concessions, promis-
ing to improve the mail service be-
tween America and neutral countries.
A blacklist against American firms
and individuals, charged with dealing
with Germany, which was published
by Great Britain July 18. and by
France August 6, brought emphatic
protests from the United States gov
ernment, but on November IA Great
Britain formally rejected the American
protests. declaring that the blacklist
was not aimed at neutrals.
July 9, the German submarine
Deutschland, the first merchant subma-
rine to cross the ocean, arrived at Bal
timore July IL. The Deutschland was
| formally declared a merchant vessel
by the United States authorities and
of merchant vessels. The Deutschland
returned safely to Germany and on Oc.
tober 81 arrived at New London, Conn.
on it's second trip. The war was
brought close to the United States Oc
tober 8 when German submarine, the
U-53, sank five merchant vessels of
the coast of the United States.
