SEVERANCE OF RELATIONS Is
THREATENED IF "SINK ON
SIGHT" PLAN is PERSISTED
IN BY TEUTONS.
NOTE is DICTATED ONLY
BY DESIRE FOR PEACE
Violation of International Law Thru
Many Lives of Chinese Have Been
Sacrificed Must Be Stopped
Backs United States in
Move Against Teutons.

Picking, Feb. 1.-THE note handed
to the German minister by the minis
ter Of foreign affairs in reply to Ger
many's declaration Of the resumption
Of unrestricted submarine warfare,
has been made public. The text fol-
lows:
"The new measures of submarine
warfare begun by Germany are imper-
ling the lives and property of Chinese
citizens even more than the measures
previously taken which already have
cost China many lives and constitutes
violation of international law. The
federation of their application would
introduce into international law ar
bitrary principles incompatible with
legitimate intercourse between neu-
trails and between neturals and bellig-
erents.
Protests theoretically.
China, therefore, protests energetf-
cally to Germany against the meas
ures proclaimed February /, and sim
cerely hopes the rights of neutral
states will be respected and that the
said measures will not be carried out.
If, contrary to expectations, this pro-
test be ineffective, China will be con-
strained to it's profound regret, to
sever diplomatic relations It is I'M
necessary to add Chinas action is die
tated by a desire for further peace and
the maintenance Of international law"
American Minister Gets Note.
A communication explanatory OF
China's action also was handed to DR..
Paul S. Reinsch, American minister to
China. 1t follows:
China like the President Of the
United States, is reluctant to believe
the German government will actually
execute measures which imperi1s the
lives and property of the citizens of
neutral states, and jeopardize legiti-
mate commerce and which tend, if al
lowed to be enforced without opposi-
ton to introduce new principles into
international law. China, being in &C
cord with the principles set forth in
your excellency's note and firmly as
segting itself with the United States,
has taken similar action by protesting
theoretically to Germany against the
new blockade measures. China also
proposes to take such other action in
the future as will be deemed neces-
sary for the maintenance of the prin-
clples OF international law"

BERLIN BACKS DOWN WHEN AM

so CORRESPONDENT SAYS.
HINT TO HOLD WRITER'S
FAILS TO INTIMIDATE
German Authorities Claim Their POSI-
tion Was Result of Misleading Re-
ports From United States and
Receded From Position
When Informed.

Copenhagen, Feb IL. - The German
governments attitude in endeavoring
to induce Ambassador Gerard to sign
a protocol reaffirming the old-time
treaties with the United States regard
ing mutual protection Of nationals in
case Of hostilities, and the hints OF
possible detention of American news
paper men as hostages, was undoubt-
edly Influenced by alarmist dispatches
from the United States regarding
treatment Of German citizens and
property there.
Recedes From Position.
AS soon as reassuring advices were
received from the United States and
as soon, too, as the German govern
ment saw that the attempt to nego-
tiate protocol re-ratifying the treaty
of 1899 with additions and expansions
had failed, it gracefully receded from
it's position and nothing further was
heard of newspapermen as hostages.
The protocol contained, besides a
formal Identification of the treaty pro-
visions of 1899 and 1928 regarding mu-
tual treatment of nationals caught in
a country in case Of war, a number Of
important additions and expansions.
Many Demands Made.
It provided that merchants should
be allowed to continue their business
es and retain their residences until
the end of the war, unmolested; that
no law affecting the validity Of con.
tracts should be applied to Germans in
America or to Americans in Germany,
and that all patents should be invio-
late-a question of Importance, in view
Of the high value, il not the indespen-
sibility, of certain German patents in
the manufacture of munitions and ex-
plosives
Could Seize All Ships.
Quite as trenchant in it's bearing on
the pending problems, was the provi-
sion which Ambassador Gerard was
lsked to sign specifying explicitly that
not only enemy property, as such,
should be exempt from seizure or re-
striction in its use beyond those apply
ing to all property, but that enemy
ships in ports Of the opponent should
not be seized during the war nor
forced to leave port unless to sail for
home port under safe conduct and
guarantee of exemption from seizure
by the Allies.
Gerard Stands Firm.
Mr.. Gerard declared roundly that
le could not be a party to amy such
pressure" and that he doubted whetn-
er any of the neWspapermen could be
"sandbagged" or Influenced in any
way by considerations of personal
safety or convenience, and that he
must persist in his earlier expressed
standpoint regarding these negotia-
lions.
From that point nothing further was
heard Of the protocol or of the pos
sibility of OBTAINING Americans.
The German governments attitude
undoubtedly was Influenced by press
dispatches with which the German
newspapers were then being flooded
asserting that German ships were be-
ing seized and their crews interned in
the United States.

growth pine have been used more

and if SO should the price be regulated

eff the government is to see to it

government must likewise see to it
that he and every other man in the
long line that traces back to the sheep

Everywhere along this line will be
found the man who works. In fact
the lement of labor is the most con-
slant and the most costly in all Of our
manufacturing processes. Of course,
the man who works is to have "a just
price for his toll. But how will the
government determine that? Can a
sheep-herder conform to an eight-hour

lambing season?
"The President evidently thinks that
nothing but invested capital is con-

PRODUCE MORE PORK
PRINCIPAL MEAT OF ARMY, CITY
AND FARM-HOG RAISING is
PROFITABLE AND PATRIOTIC.

The quickest and surest way of
augmenting the meat supply next tt
the raising Of poultry is by raising
hogs, the Unitei States Department
of Agriculture points out. The hog is
the most important animal to raise
for meat and money. He requires
less labor, less capital, less equipment,
makes greater gains per hundred lbs
of concentrates aAds;produces himself
faster and in greater numbers than
any othe rdomestic animal. IA a
consumer of ~by-products the hog has
no rival. No otter animal equals the
lard hog in its fat-storing tendency.
The most satisfactory meat for ship
ping long distances on train, boat, or
wagon, and for long storage after
reaching its destination is mess pork.
There is no animal which produces
more meat and products than the hog.
Pork finds ready sale because pack
ers have discovered many ways of
placing pork o. the market in attrac-
tive and highly palatable form COM
bined with the most excellent keeping
qualities. There is no other meat
from which so many products are
manufactured. Very near so per cent
Of the total value, in dollars and cents,
of the meat and meat products slaugh-
tered in the packing houses of the
United States is derived from the hog.
Our country leads by far all coun-
tries in the production as we'll as in
the consumption of meat and meat
products. Three-fourths of the
worlds international trade in pork
and pork products originates in the
United States in normal times, and
the war greatly has increased this
proportion. According to the esti-
mates there was an increase of $780,
900 hogs between 1910, the census
year, and 1916, inclusive. The in
crease at the end of 1915 was 3,148,0 900
over the preceding year, while it is
estimated that there was q decrease at
the end of 1916 of $4,000 hogs COM
pared with 1916.
If we expect to continue to provide
meat to foreign people as we'll as our
own people, every farmer must put
forth the best effort to produce more
hogs. Hogs can be kept proftably
upon many farms where they are not
found today. Farmers who already
raise hogs can produce many more, for
there is not much chance of producing
meat this year in excess of the re-
quirements.
More dairy farmers should raise
hogs for they fit in especially we'll up
on dairy farms where skim milk, but
termilk, or whey is fed upon the farm.
A man who has skim-milk is, in a bet
ter position to raise pigs than the man
who has none.
