! that he had already severed diplomatic
relations with the German empire.
Thunderous cheers and handclapping
even chautauqua salute of bandker-
chiefs from the galleries followed.
Senator Lodge, ranking republican
member of the foreign relations commit
tee-who does not attend White House
! functions because of his feeling on the
presidents international attitude--led
lit heartily. There was commendation
] in every movement he made.
From that point, every emphasized
statement was applauded.
/ The president s voice at times seem
cd strained, rising thinly above the
murmur from the galleries that would
not be suppressed. Generally the presi-
| dent IS delivery is perfection.
He was interrupted for the biggest
demonstration when he said slowly and
solemnIy:
~ shall take the liberty Of coming
again before the congress, to ask that
iauthority be given me to use any means
( that may be necessary for the protection
| Of our seamen and our people in the
prosecution Of their peaceful and legiti-
innate errands on the high seas"
4 He paused q moment to let that sink
, in.
There was a moment Of silence Then
1 from all sides Of the house there broke
la storm Of cheers. Ii was the biggest
moment Of the day
As the president finished, the cheers
were renewed.
The house and galleries arose, stand
ing silently, some with bowed heads. as
/ he passed from the chamber back to
the speakers room and the White
House.
Then the house, as If nothing had
happened, re-met, resolved itself into n
committee Of the whole on the state of
the union and resumed debate on the
navy bill with the usual smattering of
members on the floor.
For the first time since Germany's
startling declaration, the people of
! Washington-at congress and in other
i government circle--appear today to
begin to realize the possibilities grew
! ing out Of the new crisis. With this
realization cane practically undivid-

any step he takes.

arouse, appeared today for the first
time, fully awake to the danger ahead.
Hundreds Of telegfams reached the
white house assuring the president of
wide sentiment of support for
break, though mingled with many
peaceful messages
Whether or not there is an actual
declaration Of war following upon the
president IS action depends upon Ger

Washington, Feb. 3.-Four plans of
immediate action in case of war with
Germany, have been worked out by the
general staff Of the army, it was learn
ed today.
They involve:
Using the regular army and national
guard as nucleus to train an army
of two million a year, sending no troops
to Europe during that period
Obtaining immediate passage Of
universal military service law and call
ing out the first three classes under it,,
Extensive establishment Of training
camps in every state.
/ Putting American munitions plants
and other factories TO work furnishing
! supplies and munitions for an army Of
two million men and converting other
factories for this work.
( 1t would be futile, army men say, to
send any of the present army to Europe.
Russia lost eighty thousand officers in
the first 10 months OF the war, they
said--more than the total strength Of
the United States.
General staff plans call for one hun

WHY NOT HAVE HOG PASTURES

With the scarcity and present price of corn, this grain must be saved as far as possible during the next year for meal and bread. Only the necessary amount should be fed to livestock. Corn should be used only for hardening hogs. Plenty of pastures. peas. beans. and peanuts should be had for producing your work. These
 rops al ne will give you real economical gains. Soy beans Ire one of the best crops for nogs. Bermuda pasture is also good. Cowpeas are fife but ev- ,ryone should have soy beans
 or late summer pasture. The .tedium Yellow is a good variety
 nd should be planted as soon as
 ossible. Plant them immedi-
 tely after the wheat or oats.
 Joy beans are not only good for .aogs but for enriching the soil.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by aninfiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the rssult. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness are caused by Catarrh, which is an an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.

WHITES CHAPEL

Hello! Mir. Editor and all you good readers of the dear old Pic- ayune, as the Chapel scribe is so busy looking after his crop and other important things, he has not time to write. will scribble a line.
 Health is good at this writing.
 People have about quit talking war. and took up the cattle dip ping. There is a sight of confu- sion and dissatisfaction over the matter in this part. Some say they will not submit to the dip ping, but that won't do. We had better just take our dose and go ahead. But ye scribe thinks it an unjust law, or rath- CT it works hardships on some of the people. The man that will suffer his cows 10 get covered with ticks should pay a fine. and it looks hard for the man that has no ticks on his cattle, to have to drive them to a vat. We will admit there are a few who are raising cattle for the profit, that man can build him a vat or they can fine him if he doesn't keep the ticks off his cattle. This is my view of the matter. This law is alright for the spec, ulator isn't it.
 We heard two good sermons at Nichols School House Saturday night ard Sunday. Had good singing conducted by MT. Jno. Wlnberly. He will sing for us at Whites Chapel the 1st Sunday in July, at 10 o'clock. Every body come.
