ADRIFT WHILE BOBBlNG
on Lake SUPERIOR

Last Thursday George and John
Croft were bobbing for trout about
five miles east of Grand Marais, near
the "Five Mile Rock. They had
several bites and their attention was
taken up with their fishing, finally
George looked up and saw a streak
of open water between them and the
shore, he called to his brother that
the ice was breakings up and that
they had better make for shore. Af-
ter sizing up their condition they
found that they were adrift on a
large cake of ice, sailing toward the
south shore. They were having a
free ride but one not exactly to
their liking.
They started for the shore but
when they came to the break in the
ice it was over 100 feet wide and
were drifting out fast as there was
strong northwest wind blowing.
Joe and Fred Croft and Axel Nor
gren, who were watching them from
shore, saw what predicament the
boys were in, and Immediately start
ed for their rescue, showing a skiff
over mile of broken ice and finely
reached them and brought them to
safety.
Other than losing most of their
fishing outfit they were none the
worse off for their experience.

BILL ALLOWING GRAND
MARAlS TO BUILD DOCK.

A bill has been passed by the SEN
ate permitting Grand Marais to build
and maintain a village dock. There
is law allowing towns to build
docks, but there was no authority
for villages to do so, and as proceed
ings have been commenced for this
village to acquire dock property it
was necessary to get special legisla
tion to make it strictly legal. The
matter was called to the attention of
Senator Adams who prepared a bill
and had it passed by the senate last
week.

OVERLAND ROADSTER OPENS
NEW COUNTRY IN AUSTRALIA

In Australia there is single auto.
mobile, an American made product
which is given the credit of opening
up more territory to motoring than
all of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois com
bined. It is an Overland Roadster
purchased in 1913 by A. J. Cotton,
one of Australia's leading pasturers.
Mr.. Cotton is a large holder of
land in the Northern Territory, hun
dreds of miles from a railway, and
he bought the car simply as an ex-
pertinent in an effort to personally
look after his holdings. His objec-
tive point was Boorooloola station on
the Macarthur River. AS soon as
the car was delivered to him, he
shipped it to Longneck, the terminus
of Queenland's Central Railway. Then
he drove 600 miles to Cloncurry, the
terminus of the Northern Railway
line. Leaving Cloncurry he headed
west for Camooweal and from the
latter point northwest to Burke
town, on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
His arrival in Burketown is regarded
by the natives of that district as an
historical event, inasmuch as it
marked the appearance of the first
automobile ever seen in that local
ity.
From Burketown, Mr.. Cotton COM
menced the final stage of his trip
which took him 500 miles through
country inhabitated chiefly by wild
blacks. Without any mechanical diff
ficulty whatever he eventually ar.
rived at his destination, Boorooloola
station, 1900 miles from the starting
point.
Since the first trip in 1913, Mr.
Cotton has used the same car for
his annual journey to the Northern
Territory and even now the stauncl
little roadster isl at Boorooloola fo1
the fourth time.
The satisfaction which the Over.
land product gave Mr.. Cotton and
the results of the successful adven
ture are evidenced by the fact that
during the last three years Mr.. Cot
ton has purchased more than dozer
Overland cars and two delivery wa.
CONS; Overland dealers have been es
tablished in Cloncurry, Camooweal
and Burketown; a WHY'S delivery
wagon is on the mail run from Clon
curry to Camooweal and sales OF
Overland and Willys-Knight cars are
reported at points as far distant as
Port Darwin, N. T.
Furthermore, the performance o1
the Overland roadster has indirectl,
opened up territory more than :
thousand miles square to motor
transport.

DIPL LOMATIC RELATIONS WITH
GERMANY Is BROKEN
Ambas sador Won Bernstorff Sent
Home. United States on the
Verge Of War.

washington, rep. o.-1ne sever
ance Of diplomatic relations with
Germany was formally announced to
the country and the world by Presi-
dent Wilson at a joint session Of
congress today at o'clock.
Count Won Bernstorff has been
handed his passports and Ambassa-
dor Gerard has been ordered from
Berlin.
Whether the break with Germany
would be accompanied by similar
break with Austria Hungary cannot
be learned definitely. Inasmuch as
Austria is understood to have indor-
sed the action of Germany, however,
this action is expected to follow if
it has not already been taken.
The state department notified AM
bassador Gerard to ask for his pass
ports.
The decision to break was reached
after the presidents conference
with the cabinet and members Of
the senate yesterday. The presi-
dent, by those conferences, came to
the coclusion that the country would
stand solidly behind him in breaking
off diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
The United States now stands on
tho vorro of ,,,o,. ,,,;4L III 4l
ic precedent of centuries pressing it
forward.
Fervently invoking the guidance of
Almighty God in the step he had
taken, President Wilson detailed to
the congress why the United States
could not continue relations with a
warning power which repeatedly in
vades it's sacred rights and takes the
lives of it's citizens.
Calm, with a sense of right in
which may prove the most somber
moment Of American history, the
president stood in the historic hall
Of the house of representatives., and,
with senator's and representatives be-
fore him, spoke the words which
may carry the country into the world
conflict, not for aggression and not
for power; only for law and human
ity.
Silent and attentive, the grim COM
pany of nations lawmakers listened
with rapt attention while President
Wilson told of Americas course in
the now unsuccessful diplomatic
struggle to dissuade Germany from
her campaign of ruthlessness.
The president declared that mot
withstanding this unexpected action
of the German government, this sud
den and deeply deplorable renuncia-
ton of it's assurances given this gov
ernment," he refused to believe that
lit is the intention of the German
authorities to do in fact what they
have warned us they feel at liberty
to do"
In concluding his address Presi.
dent Wilson declared that if overt
acts are Forthcoming he will again
come before congress to ask author.
ity, ITO use any means that may be
necessary for the protection of our
seamen and our people,"
All neutral governments, he be.
lieves, will take the same course"
"We wish to serve no selfish ends.'
the president stated. "We seek
merely to stand true alike in thought
and action to the immemorial prin.
ciples of our people = seek mere.
ly to vindicate our right to liberty
and justice and unmolested life
These are the bases of peace, not
war. God grant that we may not
be challenged to defend them by acts
of willful injustice on the part of the
government of Germany.
