WILL STAND BY PRESIDENT.
Congressman LenrOOt Disapproves Of
Stand Taken by Washburn Paci-
fists at a Recent Meeting.

In answer to resolutions protest

an INVASION of this country, and
urging the withdrawal of neutral
shipping from the war zone, which
were sent to Washington from a
mass meeting in Washburn, Con
gresham |. l.. Lenroot, of Super
ior, declares that he cannot support
al the propositions named in the
resolutions.
IN his letter the congressman
SAYS: while l sincerely hope that
peace NAV be preserved between
this country and Germany and | in
the past have done all | could to
promote this end, | cannot support
all the propositions named in the
resolutions.
When any of the belligerents,
no matter on which side it IS, makes
itself All outlaw and absolutely dis
regards all neutral rights, the Unit
ed States, if it has any self-respect
left, must, if that outlawry is CON
tinued, take action, and so long as
President Wilson acts strictly with
in the limits of our rights | shall
support him.
Permit me to say, that, !! the
sentiments III these resolutions had
been the sentiments of the people
living in this country in 1776, we
should still have been a colony Of
Great Britain. Please do not un-
derstand from this that | do not
welcome the expression of opinion
contained in these resolutions and
| fully recognize the absolute right
of every American cit zen freely to
express himself and oppose war

ing to my convictions.
| might add that if war does
come, l shall not be in favor of al
lying ourselves with any of the bel
ligerents as such, nor as the situa-
tion now stands, will | be in favor
of sending any of our men to en-
gage in land warfare. Our sole in
terest in this crisis IS the freedom
of the seas. If a conflict does come
| am sure it will be confined to ma
gal warfare. If Germany could un-
derstand that we have a united ma.
tlCn, | still hope and believe She
would withdraw the order she has
made, and that is causing all the
difficulty. So long as resolutions
are being passed all over the
country along che lines of the reso-
lutions that you transmit, we can
not expect that Germany will re-
tract for she will be encouraged to
believe that under no circum-
stances will the United States re-
sent her action b. force.

Real Tobacco a Myth.

| Nothing can be bought in Austria
without a card, which fixes the amount
to which the holder is entitled. Cards
are even necessary to buy matches, and
dried leaves perfumed with nicotine
are sold at fancy prices. Real tobac-
co no longer exists.
Destitution Is spreading both In Aus
trfa and in Hungary, especially among
women whose work In factories Is no
longer needed. Many factories are
closing for lack of raw material as well
as for the fact that many industries
are no longer profitable. Thus in Hun
gary thread cannot be supplied to lace
and button workers, and as result 49,
600 women are out of work. The same
may be said of the lace industries,
which will have to stop work altogeth-
err soon.
AS for sanitary conditions in Aus
tria, besides many contagious diseases,
dysentery spread alarmingly during
summer. 1t was due to exceptional
heat, coupled with the consumption Of
raw vegetables and unripe fruit, which
In most cases constitute the only food
available to people Of the lower
classes. Even when patients could be
taken to hospitals and provided with
nourishing food their weakness, due to
denutrition, could not be overcome and
few recovered.
At Roclice, in Bohemia, many peas
ants have been sentenced to terms of
Imprisonment for stealing food. None
h, !, fror hnv<f-
ties could not supply food. The scarcity
Of food is so great that people are adj
vertising in the newspapers offering to
exchange boots or articles of clothing
for a ration Of lard or half a dozen
eggs. No new clothes can be bought
without q certificate that secondhand
clothing has been donated or sold and
special card is necessary to buy
clothes or underwear. Nothing in
theory is wasted in Austria.
Use Garbage for Pigs.
Even garbage or kitchen refuse Is
collected by the authorities, who con-
vert it into fodder for cattle and pigs.
To encourage it's collection household
ers are offered half a pound of pork
for every 20 pounds of garbage given
to the authorities. Food for cattle is
almost as indispensable as that for hui
man beings. In fact, agriculture is
seriously threatened in Bohemia, where
the cattle have been reduced to only
million and a half head, and owing to
army acquisitions and the scarcity of
fodder a further reduction Of so per
cent will be necessary.
AS a result a milk famine will be In
evitable next winter, while the cultiva-
ton Of land will be almost impossible
next spring owing to the lack of
draught oxen and manure. Other agri-
cultural regions both in Austria and in
Hungary are similarly menaced, so that
the outlook is dark, and it is feared
that before long not only prisoners of
war will be starved in Austria but the
inhabitants as well.

u.S.CuNBOATS ON WATCH IN
 CUBA WATERS

Washington, Feb. 1.-Two Ameri- can warships were at anchor yester- day in Cuban ports The Petreli gunboat, was in Santiago, which is held by rebels, and the Dixie was in Havana. Developments in the revo- lutionary situation were not of an alarming character, but the ships will be held in Cuban waters as long as there appears possibility of danger to Americans or their interests.
 Minister Gonzales reported to the State department to-day that no de- struction of property had yet occur red and foreigners have not been mo- tested. Some anxiety was caused by the isolation at Camaguey of many tourists, but the information available in Havana indicated that they were in no danger. Rebels have interrupted traffic over the rail- road between Canaguey and Havana.
 President MenocaPs proclamation promising protection to all loyal per sons regardless of previous affiliations served to relieve some anxiety that had been aroused at the state depart ment by reports that he was contem- plating reprisals and the adoption of drastic corrective measures.
 Gen. Fernandez commanding the rebel garrison in Santiago, offered no opposition to. the entry to the harbor of the American gunboat Petre1. Con- servatives in Santiago have been stern 1y treated by Fernandez, the more prominent of them having been made prisoner.

MANN
 TO ENLIST IF WARFARE COMES

Washington, Feb. IT. = Applause from both sides of the house yester- day greeted declaration by Republi- can Leader Mann that the first duty of the United States was to look after affairs on the American continent and that Inc hoped this country would not be drawn into the European war. De- bate of the army appropriation bill was in progress when he spoke.
 1T am determined,'' said MT. Mann ito do everything in my power to keep our country out of the European war.
 eff it becomes necessary at any time for the United States to enter it, I will willingly join, but I am trust ing with hope and faith that the pres ident will do everything he thinks can possibly be done to keep us out.
 God only knows where we will land if this country enters the war. So far as we can, it is to our interest to remain the dominant force on the American continent and not think that we should regulate the whole world. When we have taken care of the republics in Central and South America to the credit of ourselves and civilization it will be time enough to regulate the older nations now engag- ed in conflict? I regret, but I hope we can keep out of it.''
 MT. Mann argued that if the Unit ed States were drawn into the war 1t could no longer claim the right to regulate American affairs alone
 In conclusion MT. Mann urged that the whole country stand together re- gardless of what steps were taken in the international crisis.
