Threat, Tell Men to End Trouble
400 Workers Fined.

London, Feb. 5.-With the exception
of a new movement at Jena, reported
by the Tageblatt of Berlin, the Ger

men at Jena are reported out.
The leaders of the strikers, spurred
by the death threat of the government,
advised that work be resumed.
German newspapers record no dis
turbances in Berlin.
The directors of the Krupp works
report, according to the Cologne Ca
zette, that only 400 out of 10000
workmen went on strike and that these

JOHN L, SULLIVAN is DEAD
Former King of American Pugilists
Takes Final Count on Farm in
Massachusetts,.

Abingdon, Mass, Feb. John L.
Sullivan, one of the most interesting
figures Of prize ring renown, died sud-
denly of heart disease at his farm in
West Abingdon on Saturday. AS was
his wish, he died with his shoes on. He
was stricken with heart trouble three
weeks ago, but quickly improved and
was in no sense an invalid.
John L. always attributed his loss
of the American championship to
James J. Corbett by a knockout in
New Orleans September z, 1892, to
liquor. He had made a fortune in the
prize ring.
Sullivan was fifty-nine years old.
He had often expressed regret that he
was too old to go with the boys over
seas, but he was not too old to do his
bit. He never declined an invitation
to speak at flag raising or recruiting
rally or in behalf of the Liberty loan.
Sullivan never was taught how to
box. He took to fighting naturally.

CRISIS IN WAR IN 1918,
SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON
Executive in Message to Farmers
Conference at Urbana, ILL.,, Urges
Big Crops This Year.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Washington, Feb. 1.-The result of
the European war will be determined
during the coming year, in the opinion
of President Wilson. He made this
plain in letter sent to the Farmers
conference at Urbana, Ill.
II need not tell you, for l am sure
you realize as keenly as l do, that we
are as nation in the presence Of a
great past which demands supreme
sacrifice and endeavor of every one.
eve can give everything that is
needed with the greater willingness,
and even satisfaction because the OBJ
ject of the war in which we are en-
gagged is the greatest that free men
have ever undertaken.
"You will not need to be convinced
that 1t was necessary for us, as a
free people, to take a part in this
war. 1t had raised it's evil hand
against US.
every man in every business in
the United States must know by this
time that his whole future fortune
lies in the balance. Our national life
and our whole economic development
will pass under the sinister influence
Of foreign control If we do not win.
eve must win, therefore, and we
shall win.
''You will realize, as think states
men on both sides of the water re-
alize, that the eliminating crisis of
the struggle has come and that the
achievements Of this year on the one
side or the other must determine the
ISSUE"
Still further powers from congress
are expected by the president, $50
that the tendency to profiteering
which is showing itself in too many
quarters may be effectively checked"
The president pointed out that the
American farmer produces three or
four times more per unit of labor and
capital than any European farmer, that
the planting last year broke the rec
ord, but that this year these achieve
ments must not only be repeated but
exceeded.
The president said the agricultural
department has $2,50O000 available
now and is asking congress for $5,000,-
coo more to assist the farmers to To-
cate and obtain at cost an adequate
supply of sound seed.
In all the great corn belt states
there is a shortage Of seed that al
most appalls the experts.
