ever. that conveying and arming of merchant ships are being considered.
 No news development came today to indicate that the overt act by Germany, regarded as inevitable, was nearer at hand. Fewer reports of ships sunk came in and none told officially of the loss of an American life. Further information received about George Washington, the negro fireman lost on the Turino, indicated that he probably was British sub- ject.
 The cabinet met today with all members present except Secretary McAdoo. Just before the meeting the majority of the members had at tended session of the council of national defense, called at the war department to discuss mobilization of the nations resources as result of many offers from manufacturing and other companies to place themselves at the disposal of the government in the event of trouble
 Practically every member took to the cabinet information about the activities of his department in con- nection with the general precautions bein gtaken. Questions discussed in cluded proposed emergency legisla- tions. steps for protecting property, mail problems precipitated by the failure of ships to sail from Ameri- can ports for Europe, economic is- sues and the army and navy prepa- rations.
 After the meeting it was author itatively stated that nothing had yet happened to change the course pur- sued by the government since the break in relations with Germany. The cumulative effect of reports of vessels sunk by German submarines collected by the state department, however, has been to make officials certain that Germany is indeed pro- ceeding with her proclaimed policy of ruthlessness.
 The effect of the tying up of ships in American harbors because of fear that they will be sunk if they pass through the war zone is one of the questions being given careful con- sideration. So far as could be learn ed today there have been no reports to the government of serious conse- quences to industries, but such re- ports are expected, and the enforced idleness of the merchant fleet is a subject of growing exasperation.

'W|LSONST|LL HOPES WAR MAY NOT COME CONGRESS- TO DECLARE II President will Only Ask Authority to Protect U. s. Interests If
 Overt Act Occurs.

Washington, Feb. l0.-The course to be taken by the United States if Germany compels the use of force to safeguard American lives and rights has been determined. It was learned authoritatively after Friday cabinet meeting that in the event President Wilson goes before con gress again it will not be to ask for a declaration of war, but to follow literally the words of the address in which he announced the break of di- plomatic relations and request au- thority to use means deemed neces- sary to protect American seamen and people.
 The president, it was stated, is as anxious as ever to avoid war with Germany, but also is as determined as ever that American citizens and ships shall be free to travel the high seas unmolested His next step, if taken, will be to enforce that right, and even then the issue of war or peace will be with Germany. Any hostile action will have to come in the form of an interference with an American right.

CONSIDER PLAN OF IMPROVING BRANCH RAILWAY Is INVITED To Join with City in Constructing Concrete Bottoms for Drainage
 Bitches in Conway.

That the town branch is a serious city problem for Conway, that it in- wolves the health of every citizen was the unanimous judgment of the committee on city improvements which met last night in the Commer- cial Club rooms to consider the letter of Superintendent w. c. Morse of the central division of the railroad addressed to Jo Frauenthal, Pres. J. H. Reynolds and Mayor J. c. Dawson concerning the branch.
 There were present last night the chairman of the committee, Dr. Rey- holds; the president of the Conner cial Club, MT. Frauenthal; Mayor Dawson, H. B. Ingram, B. c. Wilson, A. L. Barber and A. A. Halter.
 MT. Morse in his letter insisted that the branch was not primarily a railroad question; that it was town problem as we'll and that the town would have to share in any plan of permanent improvement. With this view the committee concurred Reso- lutions were passed expressing the view that the citizens of Conway are ready to meet the railroad more than half way and join in making substantial and permanent improve ments on the branch. They do not believe that half way measures will do. MT. Wilson, city engineer, had given the question much thought for some time and advised the commit tee that the grade was so slight, be- ing only three inches to the hundred feet, that the bottom must be con- crete. The committee was impressed with the wisdom of this suggestion and passed resolution inviting Mir, Morse to bring one of the roads en- gineers down for a conference fol the purpose of working out definite plan of solving the problem. When this is done it will be submitted to the people of the city.

PASSES BIL! FOR | NEW CONSTITUTION HOUSE VOTES 54 10 40 Measure Goes Through Following
 Special Message from Brough- Election June 26.

Little Rock, Feb. 1O.-After stormy Friday afternoon the house passed, by vote of 54 to 40, the bill by Senator Smith, calling for the convening of constitutional con- vention on November 19, for the pur- pose of writing new constitution. The question of the constitution ality of it's message was raised by MT. Johnson of Sebastian, who held that, as it carries an appropriation, vote of 67, or two thirds of the total number of members elected, is necessary. Speaker Cazort overruled the point of order, holding that it is necessary expense of the state government, since the legislature, which is the sole judge of necessity, had decided by large majority that it is necessary for the state to have a new constitution.
 In support of the speakers ruling, MT. Hardage cited the decision of the supreme court in the new capitol case against Sloan, auditor, in which it was held that a majority vote was |all that was required to pass such an appropriation.
 The passage of the bill followed the delivery of a special message from the governor, urging the pas sage of the act, and citing many reasons why a new constitution is desirable.
 Those who opposed the bill were Holloway, Davis of Columbia, Choate, and Johnson, while those who advo- cated the passage of the bill were Hardage, Josephs and Osborne.
 According to the terms of the bill, an election will be held on June 26 for the election of delegates, each county to have the number it now has in the house of representatives, and two at large from each congress sional district, making IA in all They must be not less than 25 years old. They shall receive $4 day and mileage. The constitution to be adopted shall be submitted to a special election. An appropriation of $25 ,0OO is made for the expenses of the election.

Council to Coordinate Effort.

The Nebraska conservation convention, which
opens in Omaha this evening, is really council
to coordinate effort Americans just now are
engaged on the most gigantic undertaking they
ever set about work that makes all their other
achievements seem small-that Of arraying and
concentrating all the mighty power of the republic
on the one center Of war. This task must be
accomplished in the shortest possible time and It
is the several apparently disconnected efforts look
ing to that end that give the appearance of con-
fusion. Our national genius for organization is
undergoing Its supreme test and those who are
closest to the center feel It will not be found
wanting. Nebraskans have a great part to play
in the work ahead, because from this state the
world expects an immense store of food Of all
kinds. The council that is now to be held has in
view this demand and will consider plans for
meeting the requisition. Delegates chosen rep
resent every class Of citizenship and the leaders
In the work are men who are familiar with the re-
sources Of the state in every particular. The
deliberations Of this body should be OF value, If
it only serves to stimulate and maintain the en-
thusiasm Of the people in the business now be-
fore them

Teaching the Girls to "can" Things.

One OF the lost arts OF American housekeep-
ing is to be revived in some degree; canning will
be restored to It's once prominent place on the
domestic program. Surplus foodstuff Of the early
summer must be preserved for winter use and
considerable proportion Of the responsibility
for this is to be placed on the housewife this
season. This applies not alone to fruits, but to
the coarser articles Of diet Preserves, jelies and
jams, cutters" and the like are good and will
be looked to- but vegetables also must be given
consideration. A campaign Of instruction along
these lines is to be carried on under direction Of
the University Of Nebraska, to the end that best
methods Of canning and preserving vegetables be
made known. Systematic work Of this sort among
the women Of the state should have for its re-
ward great stores Of wholesome food for the COM
ing winter, saved from the early summer gardens,
and consequently increased surplus from the
fields Of the state to be sent abroad. In this
connection the women folks should heed the
warning that cans are scarce and therefore they
should save every sort Of receptacle that can be
used to contain vegetables or fruits for the fu-
ture. This is part Of woman's work for the ma
ton

Nebraska Board and Interstate Commerce.

The Nebraska Railway commission is to be
congratulated on having discovered il has no
authority over interstate commerce. Its reluct-
ant admission Of this limitation to its activity
may presage greater attention to work it can
control. The boards present position contrasts
strongly with the attitude it assumed throughout
the campaign last year, when the democrats per-
sisted in asserting the right Of the state to con-
troll interstate business. The republicans were
abused for their stand on the question and &C.
cused Of surrendering the dearest item in the
whole list Of states rights, but It seems the demo-
Gratis, as always, had their headlight on behind
again. Meek submission BY the board to federal
authority at this time may be merely patriotic
outburst, but It's attitude may have been forced
by decision from the United States supreme
court that interstate commerce is beyond state
regulation. With this point settled and the
through business Of the railroads turned over to
the Interstate Commerce commission, the Ne
braska body can find plenty at home to occupy
its attention.

Strikes IN War Time
--Nsx York journal Of CONNER

The secretary of labor in the presidents cab
met, officials of the American Federation OF La
Dor and the Council of National Defense have
had to work together to avert threatened strike
in the Pennsylvania coal fields, They appear to
have succeeded through some promises OF better
wages and improved conditions, but there is no
way of enforcing voluntary agreements brought
about by official intervention and influence.
In time like this, when so much depends
upon regular and well conducted means of trans
portation and distribution of many kinds Of sup
plies, there ought to be some authoritative and
effectual way of preventing strikes in employ
ments affecting important public interests We
are now in the war and the government needs
fidelity to its interests and its support that can be
enforced
Great Britain at the beginning Of the war had
much difficulty in putting stop to strikes which
were costing lives and large losses of property
and importing national interests of great mo-
ment. There had to be imperial legislation in
what is known as the defense OF the realm act to
put stop to this. With good deal of difficulty
the object was substantially attained. But there
have just been some local strikes in munitions
works which brought out warning from the sec
rotary of the Ministry of Munitions, created early
in the war, OF the serious consequences that may
be incurred. Those melting or leading to stop
page Of work in munition factories in England are
liable to penalty of servitude for life, or a
shorter term at the discretion OF the court
II is to be hoped that workngmen of the
United States will vindicate the principle of DEM
ocratic self-government by showing fidelity to it
and giving it loyal support in time like this. In
doing so they should be fairly supported by their
employers and not have to be subjected to COM
pulsion in the face of any reasonable demands
Employers and employees ought to be at one in
supporting the government in the exercise OF its
war power.
