PRECEDENT IS BROKEN.
BY PRESIDENT WILSON IN SPLIT
WITH KAISER.
Action First Time In Modern History
When First-Class Powers Have
Severed Relations Without War.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Preccdent for the sew
erance of diplomatic relations is found
in modern history only between lesser
neutlal nations and first-class powers
and lesser ones. The United States
suspended diplomatic relations with
Mexico and only recently were they
resumed. 1t suspended diplomatic re.
lations with Nicaragua when Zelaya
executed two Americans. When John
Quincy Adams was President. the
American charge d'affaires at Rio
Janeiro demanded his passports and
returned to the United States without
instructions because he considered un-
warranted the capture of American
ships by Brazilian war vessels enforc-
ing blockade.
Great Britain suspended diplomatic
relations with Venezuela for ten years,
from 1887 to 1897, and suspended dip
lomatic relations with Serbia from
1903 to 1906 after the murder Of King
Alexander and Queen Draga.
After the breaking of diplomatic re.
lations comes the possibility of other
measures termed "non.amicable modes
OF redress" which also are measures
short of war" These modes of re-
dress may include reprisals. retalia-
tions, non-intercourse and display Of
force and still there may be no state
OF war.
Non intercourse acts can be passed
by Congress TO stop commerce be-
tween the United States and Germany
but as the war already has put the
trade at n low ebb the effect will be
negligible. Displays of force have
been frequently used by the United
States and European powers TO i'm.
press the earnestness of their position.
Writers on international law class the
allied march to the relief of the lega-
tons at Picking as display of force
short OF wal.
When all ihe measures short OF war
have been exhausted. or either nation
decides TO dispense with them, comes
the eventually itself.
MOi, than 100 times since 1900 war
has begun before 1t was formally de-
clared. Only twelve times in the PIG
years has war actually been declared
before hostilities began. The latest
notable instance was the opening ac-
tion of the RussoJapanese war when
Admiral Togo struck Russian fleet.

EXCELLENT returns
FROM THE CANADIAN I.
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces Of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summer Of .1014 with
81 800 available cash In his possession.
He rented hnlf-sectlon of partly i'm
proved land In Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$1,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
W. J. Winstead, Of Brooks, Alberta.
says:
II landed In Brooks. March 18th.
1916, with one car Of household effects,
and nine head Of good horses, and less
than $500 In cash. l have put $500
worth Of improvements on my farm. I
have 81 head Of cattle. 10 head Of
horses, debts all paid. new automo-
bile. and good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels Of No. Northern wheat from
two hundred acres. which went from
"a to SO bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat, all
No. Northern. two thousand bushels
Of oats. 670 bushels Of fax. 100 BUSH

well, figure this out for yourself Mt the
market price. I sold 3.10O bushels of
wheat at s1.74N. am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and fax for higher prices"

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man.
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or cnllus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender.
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly. and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted OF with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who snys that freezonc dries In

corn or callus without Irritating ths
