After devotional exercises the roll

Grecian period, we read with interest
the captivity of him and his COM
panions. the great feast. its tragic close
and his deliverance from the den of
lions. For as much as he was faith
full neither was there any error or fault
found in him. - Just as true now as in

stating that President Wilson in an au-
tographed letter endorsing a newspaper
church advertising campaign conducted
by the Massillon Chamber of Com

II need not tell you that your effort
to quicken the church going habit

RELATIONS BROKEN OFF
DIPLOMATIC TIES WITH GER
MANY SEVERED.
Count Won Bernstorff Given Pass
ports.-Similar Action Has Al
ways Resulted in War.

Washington, Feb. 3.-President
Wilson has broken off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany and warned the
kaiser that ruthless sacrifice OF
American lives and rights means war
Similar action is waiting for Aus
tria when she notifies this govern
ment that she joins in the campaign
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
The president made formal an
nouncement of his action to the coun-
try and to the world today at joint
session of congress.
Passports have been handed to
Count Won Bernstorff; Ambassador
Gerard with all his staff and all
American consuls have been ordered
out of Germany. All German con-
suls in the United States are expected
to withdraw that the severance of re-
lations may be complete. American
diplomatic interests in Berlin have
been turned over to Spain; German
diplomatic interests in the United
States have been taken by Switzer-
land. Foreign diplomatic interests
which the United States had in
charge in Germany have been turned
over to various neutrals.
The years of diplomatic negotia-
ton, marked with frequent crises and
attended with the loss of more than
200 American lives on the high seas,
have eliminated with an act which in
all the history of all the world always
has led to war.
Every agency of the American gov
ernment has been set in motion to
protect the country against acts OF
German sympathizers. These moves
are of necessity being kept secret.

IMMIGRATION BILL PASSED.
Congress Overrides the Presidents
Veto.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Congress
has overridden veto by President
Wilson for the first time and enacted
into law the immigration bill with
it's long fought literacy test provision.
The senate voted late today, 62 to
10, to pass the measure notWith-
standing the veto and in spite of
eleventh-hour information that ia
pan again had protested against the
language Of the Asiatic exclusion Sec
tion.
The house overturned the veto last
week by a vote of 2S7 to 106, so the
senate's action ends the contest of
twenty years standing in which
three presidents have repudiated
similar bills passed by congress.
The international situation was
brought into the closing debate in
the senate, Senator Reed calling at
tention to the Japanese objection and
pleading that nothing be done at this
time to disturb or impair the coun-
try's relations with friendly ma
tion. Senator Smith, of South Caro-
lima, chairman of the immigration
committee, answered with the declar-
alton that the present state of inter-
national affairs emphasized the ne
cessity for a pure, homogeneous
American people such as this bill
was intended to protect.

Motor Ambulance for Border.

Motor car ambulances of an ap-
parently durable type have been con-
structed for the Red Cross corps and
put in service at the Mexican border.
So accustomed have most persons be-
come to pictures of the elaborate
fighting equipment used by the war
ring forces abroad that it is possible
many have lost sight Of the fact that
our own troops are not in all in
stances similarly outftted. 1t there
fore may be news to some that the
new machines replace mule-drawn
ambulances that were in use until the
National Guard was modified some
months ago. Each of the cars is sup
piled with four stretchers, two OF
which rest on the side seats beneath
the others, which are suspended
when in use. At the right of the
drivers seat a medicine cabinet is
provided, while lockers, in which va
rious supplies can be carried, are ht-
ted lengthwise beneath each of two
long seats.-Popular Mechanics.

Bucharest Still Gay.

Bucharest is different from all the
other captured capitals. With the
exception of Cettinje have been in
all of them. And for ways that are
wild and piquant Bucharest is un-
equalled.
Brussels was stunned for hours af-
ter the Germans marched in. Bel
grade was desolated and Warsaw was
satisfied.
But Bucharest is crazy-crazy with
excitement and curiosity. If it feels
sorrow it conceals that emotion per-
fectly, and seems mainly intent upon
getting the greatest possible amount
of fun out of the present situation.
Since the German entry it has at
tanned the limits of topsy-turveydom.
Here you find partriots-genuine old
patriots like the Nestor of Roumania,
Peter Carp-rejoicing in the fall OF
their capital. When the first detach-
ments of the invading troops march
ed in, the women of the German
ophile sections of the population
stood on the sidewalks and showered
the soldiers with chrysanthemums,
cigarettes, cakes, cigars and candy.
Ten miles north of Bucharest 1
have seen Roumanian women Wash-
ing themselves in the black, icy pud-
dies by the roadside, but inside the
town the wine is flowing, and the
people are singing and dancing.
Look into the Grand Modern or the
Trocadero at night and you are greet
ed with a pandemonium of sound
music and song and the hectic greet
ings of the women from Paris, Sofia,
New York, Buenos Aires, Budapest,
Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam and Pc
trograd.
There comes the steady "scuE,
scuff' Of two hundred Russian pris-
oners, who represent Gen. Falken-
hayn's last overhaul north Of Bucha-
rest. He sends them to Gen. Macken-
sen with his greetings, Bucharest sees
the tire& procession and then goes
into the cafe and drinks another glass
of vermouth. Some of the prisoners
are gnawing at the cabbages which
they have torn from the fields on the
outskirts of the town.
Dignifed Turks, silent and we'll
groomed, and behaving with more
tact and courtesy than any other OF
the occupying troops, are the next
figures in this ever-changing kaleido-
scope of occupation.-J. O'D. Ben
nett. in the Chicago Tribune.
