Panama-Declared its readiness to
assist i'll any way possible in the pro-
lection OF the Panama canal.
Brazil-Relations broken with Ger

Bolivia-Relations broken with Ger

Uruguay-Endorsed the action OF

Paraguay - Expressed sympathy

Argentina-Endorsed the action OF
the United States as just and right.
Mexico-Ncutral.
State department officials believe it
possible that the government of Ecua-
dor may consider itself bound TO
adopt a somewhat equivocal attitude
because of a suggestion made several
weeks ago that a conference of neu-
trails be held at Montevedo to study
means for bringing the war to all end
Guatemala's proclamation of mar
tal law was still regarded here as a
precautionary step taken by Presi-
dent Cabrera preliminary to break
with Germany. 1t was believed that
Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua
the remaining uncommitted nations Of
Central America, are awaiting action
by Guatemala and that they will
announce their positions immediately
after Guatemala speaks.
The United States has looked to
Latin-America for moral support
more than for material assistance, but
there has been no disposition to un-
derrate the very material assistance
that might be rendered if it became
necessary. Total peace strength OF
Latin n-America's armies is only $4,000
men, but the potential power is sew
eral times that and reports from the
South American republics have indi-
Gated that no time will be lost in
raising fighting forces to their full
war strength

HOUSE GETS BALKY
ON CAPITOL BILL
Refuses to Agree to Senate
Amendments to Measure
for New Structure.
NEW CONFEREEs NAMED


Lincoln, April l6.-(Special Tele-
gram I'm the longest parliamentary
battle of the session, the state house
bill providing money for a new wing
went to temporary defeat this after
noon, when the house took up adop-
ton of the senate amendments, which
provided that plans when drawn
should include the complete building.
The test came on motion not to
adopt the senate amendments, sus-
tanned, 40 to 43. after one of the most
spectacular calls of the house of the
session. The vote first showed As in
favor OF the bill and "A against
Taylor of Custer, who led the fight
against the bill, then moved that a
conference committee be appointed,
consisting of Richmond, Hoffmester
and Cronin, the two latter strong op-
ponents of the bill, but Flansburg of
Lancaster objected to the appoint
ment of the committee being taken
out of the hands of the speaker, while
Richmond objected to the committee
consisting of majority of members
who were bitter opponents of the bill.
Taylor finally agreed that the
speaker should appoint the commit
Tee and the speaker will in the morn
ing announce it, while like commit
tee will have to be appointed by the
senate.
Friends Of the bill hope that if the
senate recedcs from its amendments,
the bill will go through, appropriat-
ing money for new wing to. the
present building.

GERMANS EXTEND
MEXICAN ACTIVITY
Teuton Influences Spreading
d Anti American Propaganda
in Southern Republic.
BRITISH OIL Is BURNED

Washington, April l6.--Further ev-
idenccs Of German activities in Mex
leo, spreading anti-American and anti
entente propaganda and exerting Ger
man influences upon the Mexican gov
ernment, are contained in diplomatic
reports passing through here to Eu-
ropean capitals.
Funds of number OF foreign banks
are, reported to. be in danger. Cir
culation OF any matter at all favor
able to the United States or the en-
tente is disapproved by Mexican Of
fcials and the newspaper Ell Universal
recently was suppressed because OF
publications disapproved by German
agents. The publisher and editors
have been summoned before mill
tary tribunal.
Property of foreigners, Germans
excepted, is said to be in constant
danger; efforts of the German prop
agandsts and agents being directed
especially against materials which
might be OF assistance to the enemies
of Germany. The writer of one OF
the reports asserts that he has in
formation that 10000 barrels OF oil
the property of the Eagle Oil COM
pany, British concern, has been
burned at Minatitlan.
The German bank and the German
legation in Mexico City are said in
these reports to be dominating, Mexi-
can affairs more than ever, the former
having intimately connected itself
with Mexican finances and the latter
guiding and advising the government.

All Except Peru and Chile Un-
equivocally Approve Ac-
ceptance of Challenge
of Germany.
CARRANZA IS NEUTRAL

Washington, April l6.-Prompt en-
dorsements from South America Of
the action of the United States in TAX
ing up Germany's challenge TO war
are the source OF great grtiiication
to officials of the administration,
There remained today but three coun-
tries-Ecuador, Venezuela and Co.
lombia-which had not defined their
positions, and it was believed that be-
fore the end of the week they, too,
would respond.
With the exception OF Costa Rlca,
none OF the Central American group
had declared its attitude, but no con-
Germ over which their sympathy would
be placed has been felt at the State
department. i
So far Cuba is the only war SPOT in
Lain Anne. ica, but the positions as
sumei by Panama and Costa Rica
place them practically i the list Of
warning nations, and almost no doubt
remains that Brazil will be at war
within a few days. The only govern
ments that have not been frank i'll
their endorsement of the step taken
by the United States are Chile and
Peru, the former conhning itself to
a formal declaration of neutrality and
the latter "deploring' the fact that
the United States had been unable to
adjust its difficulty with Germany
without recourse to war.
Following is the way the other
Latin American nations whose posi-
tions are defined were lined up today:
Cuba-Declared war against Ger
many.
Costa Rica-Offered its ports and
other territorial waters to the United

Big MUDDY JUMPS
OUT OF ITS BANKS
New High Water Mark Breaks
Record for Twenty-Four
Years. .-,
GORGE OUT AT YANKToN

High water in the Missouri river,
caused by breaking of gorge above
Yankton, has brought the stream up
to the food stage, and it is beginning
to burst on its banks. The water
is the highest in twenty-five years,
The rise is expected to continue at
least twenty-fonr hours, as the crest
is now passing Sioux City. The col
lapse of the old Union Pacific bridge
thus far is the only damage that has
resulted. A rise of foot or more,
which is possible, may be disastrous.
1t will put the water over the banks
at the smelter and stop the furnaces.
Eighteen inches more, it is said,
will flood the north portion of the
Union Pacific shop grounds and send
the water out into the yards at the
foot of Cunning street.
From above Blair to Pacific june
ton the river is out of its banks and
over the bottom lands, some of the
farms being foot or more under
water
Last night the water started to
flow into Lake Manawa, but there
was no change in the current. From
Manawa to the river there is a sea of
water, and number of truck garden
ers and farmers south of Council
Bluffs have taken their movables to
high lands.
At Florence the water has backed
up Mill creek as far west as Main
street. The bottoms on the Iowa
side, east OF Florence, are all under
water and the river is about two
miles wide.
South OF Florence and i'll the vicin-
ity of the upper end of Sixteenth
street the water is flowing over the
banks and seeping into an old chan
mel of forty years ago. Lowlands at
the foot of the bluffs, just east OF
the Prettiest Mile drive, are over
flowed.
Lakes Are Full.
At Florence lake the water is al
most up to the top OF the embank-
ment built by the county. The en-
bankment shows no sign of breaking.
If it holds it will keep the flood
water out of Carter lake, which now
is bank full from seepage.
South of Locust street the water
has backed up, filling the low places
and driving out nunlber Of squatters
from lands east of the railroad tracks.
On the low ground south of the
Union Pacific bridge many squatters
have been driven out. They have
taken up temporary quarters with
neighbors on higher land. Many of
them are living in tents.
Driven From Home.
Surprised by the sudden rise OF the
river late last evening, Mrs. Z. Hud-
dleston, l20 William street, awoke her
three children from bed, one } years
old and the others 4 and 7. respective
| ly. and waded several blocks to safety.
In her rush for safety, the mother
did not stop to gather all the clothes
of her children. When found by the
officer of the Burlington depot, where
they had taken refuge, they were
greatly suffering from the wet and
cold. They were given shelter at the
City Mission.
Mrs. Huddleston said that she and
her husband had spent Two days in
banking up their house with dirt
against the possible invasion of the
water. Her husband was away at the
time Of the sudden rise, she said. -.- e,
