Pro. German Minister in South
American Republic Presents
His Resignation
JAPAN MAY NOT ALLOW

Havoc Wrought Among Norwe.
glan Merchantmen BY Sub
Aroused Indignation
(By Associated Press)

Brazil has drawn one step nearer
to war with Germany and today is
one of three countries harboring ON
the brink OF the maelstrom. Norway
and China are the other countries
which may shortly be added to. the
list Of Germany's foes.
Muller Resigns.
Two events have happened in Bra.
zil which may easily form the impe-
tus to the last remaining bit on the
road to war. Dr. Lauro Muller. Bra
lillian foreign minister, has rendered
his resignation on the eve Of tine day
set for the Brazilian congress to de-
eide whether the public shall draw
it's sword. Dr. Muller has been per-
sistently reported as, il not actually
pro-German, at least an opponent Of
hostilities with Germany. His resig.
nation comedies with an order by
President Braz returning the dis.
missed German minister. The order
was issued on receipt OF news that
the Brazilian minister has been re-
fused permission to leave Germany.
Norway May Enter War.
The possibility of Norway's en-
trance into the ranks of the Allies is
based on the havoc wrought among
the Norwegian merchant marine by
German submarines. Norway has
suffered so heavily from the ravages
Of the U-boat that her shipping is In
danger of complete destruction. The
bitterness of the lNorwegians is grow.
ing rapidly. and many voices are in
sisting that she is no better of than

All reports from China agree TINT
the advocates OF war are increasing
in Pekin but apparently the President
Is reluctant to take the fateful step.
It has been reported that Japan IS un.
willing that China should enter the
struggle, but the Japan foreign Of
flee has officially denied this.
Conflicting Reports.
In the meantime, the situation in
Europe remains obscure through con-
flicting reports, and the extraordt-
nary efforts OF the censors, especial
ly in the realm of the Central Powers.
The only definite fact in regard to
conditions in Germany is that po.
litical crisis exists, and that the an
tagonism between the parties has
blazed out with a violence unknown
since the beginning of the war.

No SHORTAGE
Of FOOD FACING
UNITED STATES
Senators Thomas and Borah Lead
Attack on Food Spectators
in Floor Debate
NATION WOULD HAVE
SURPLUS OF WHEAT

Washington, May 3.-The rising
sentiment in congress for legislation to
meet the nations food problems broke
out in the senate yesterday in a de-
bate that started over the high price
Of seeds, but developed into denuncia-
tiOns of food spectators. with predic-
tions that the best way to deal with
them was to string them to- lamp posts
Or put behind prison, doors and bars.
Senator's from farming states denied
that there is any real shortage Of staple
foods in the United States. Senator
John Sharp Williams declared there
had been hysteria throughout the
country and that the cause Of high
prices was largely psychological. He
said he believed the German corrlp-
tion fund recently ,unearthed in fed
eral court in New York may have been
responsible for the hysteria.
FOOD SHORTAGE A MYTH
Word should 20 straight out from
the senate, Senator Williams said, that
there is no shortage of food. Sen
ators Nelson and McCumber agreed
that there is no reason to fear short
age.
The attack on the spectators was led
by Senators Thomas and BOrah. The
Colorado senator declared they were
the real enemies Of the nation, ex-
pressed the hope that congress would
not adjourn without legislation that
would remedy the evil, and said the
lamp post is the thing to cure such
speculation. Before the debate turn-
ed to other things, Senator Thomas In.
troduced an amendment to the, espiOn-
age bill empowering the president by
proclamation to suspend during the
war the operation Of boards Of trade
and chambers of commerce which de9l
in futures. He had it sent to the
table for later consideration.
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Senator Borah predicted a world
famine if the war lasts two years, and
if extraordinary and sustained efforts
are not made here to meet the food
problems. He attacked the packers
declaring they made enormous profits
and said speculation and monopoly in
fOOdstuffs made millions for those who
were responsible and made "peOns of
the people" He favored conscription,
of food and government possession OF
of the packing companies. Food specu-
lation, he said, would not be ended un-
til the spectators "are put in stripes
behind the bars"
Senator Nelson suggested that If
"solne of the statesmen concerned about
this situation" would 20 to Minnesota
and assure the farmer of good clim-
attic conditions. the wheat crop there
would take care of itself.
Senator McCumber said the nation
should have a wheat surplus this year
of more than 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels after
feeding itself and providing for seed

Washington, May 3.-The enormous
inroads on the worlds shipping made
by German submarines within the last
weeks have brought to American gov
ernmellt officials Il new realization of
the disaster that faces the United
States and the allies If the undersca
warfare is not checked.
Governors and state representatives

that the great destruction of ships was
threatening the existence of Great
Britain and France and lnenacing the
United States. No one, he said, knew
the exact number of ships lost re.
Gently, but estimates put last weeks S
submarine toll at 100000 tons. Later
he explained that this estimate prob
ably was too high. .s
Secretary Lansing, in a statement
during the day, declared the serious
ness of the submarine situation could
not be exaggerated. and that it was
time the country awoke to. the trre
facts. Reports to the state department
give total of 50 vessels lost in one
week, figures much higher than any
contained in recent British announce
ments. All of the members Of the
British mission agree the situation is
critical and that the combined ship
building facilities Of the world can
meet the peril only if their output is
increased tremendously.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream


The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces Of orchard white makes
a whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beauti1er at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar Of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth so
no lemon plup gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months. Ey-
cry woman knows that~lemon Juice is
used to bleach and remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan
and Is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautifer.
Just try It! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1T naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is simply marvellous to smoother

are ready. You can expect any
thing"
Bulletin No. 2 issued by the broth
erhOOds at the Great Northern hotel
opens with a quote credited to Abra-
ham Lincoln, Hartford speech, March
5, 1860, saying:
\ Thank God we have system Of
labor where there can be a strike.
Whatever the pressure there is a
point where the workman may stop"
The compulsory arbitration de-
mand law demanded by the railroads
is called a species of involuntary
servitude."
eff there is sincere public demand
that the railway employees shall not
strike for the 8-hour day, then let
the federal government operate the
railroads and assume responsibility
for the wages and working condi-
tons of railway employees" is lead
ing declaration.
President Wilson's message to
congress Aug. 20, 1916, is quoted:
ITO undertake to arbitrate the
question of the adoption of the
8-hour day in the light of results
merely estimated and predicted
would be to undertake an enterprise
of conjecture. No wise man would
undertake it, or, if he did undertake
it, could feel assured of his conclu-
sions."
These are the railroads to be
struck at 8 p. m. Saturday, according
to Timothy Shea, official spokesman
at Chicago for the four brotherhoods:
Chicago Junction, Chicago Belt
Line, Indiana Harbor Belt line.
Sunday at 8 p. m. the plans are for
these roads to be struck:
Great Northern, Missouri Pac., NJ,
K. & T, Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk
& Western, Virginfan, St. Louis &
San Francisco.
Monday at 8 p. m. these are the
