War Declarations
BY Argentina and
Uruguay Expected
Berlin Press Notified 10
Prepare Public for Two
New Foes

LONDON, April 23.-Uruguay and
Argentina are expected to declare war
against Germany at an early date, ac-
cording to Berlin advices forwarded by
the Exchange Telegraph spondent
at Amsterdam. The German newspapers
have been notified to prepare the pub
lie for the development, he adds.
Uruguay's relations with Germany
are known to have been tense for some
time. On April 10 a Montevideo dis
patch indicated that Uruguayan mis-
sion to France had been captured by a
German submarine. Uruguay, the dis
patch stated, had asked Berlin, through
Switzerland. if Germany considered a
state Of war existed with the Uruguay
an Republic, "as stated by the COM
mander of submarine who captured
a Uruguayan military mission bound
tor France" If the reply was in the
afarmatlve, it was announced, Uruguay
would declare q state of war.
Uruguay definitely broke diplomatic
relations with Germany bv act of Con-
gress on October last, following the
crisis between Argentina and Germany
brought about by the Luxburg incl
dent Passports were handed to the
German Minister and the neutrality
rule was waived as to the Entente AL
lies.
Argentina has been apparently on
the verge of break in relations with
Germany over the submarine situation

Senate Limits
Debate, on the
Ouer171an Bill
BY The Associated

WASHINGTON, April ga vehem-
cnt attack upon President Wilson and
some of the members of his official
family by Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
Republican, marked the last day of un-
limited debate in the Senate on the
Overman bill which would give the
President general powers for reorgan-
lzlng government agencies during the
war.
Senators Ransdell, of Louisiana, and
Mcclellan, of Tennessee (Democrats), d,
spoke for the bill, urging that many
departments are working at cross pur-
poses under the present peace time
system, and that "red tape" must be
eliminated if maximum results are to
be obtained. Since the President will
be held responsible for success of the
nations war effort, said Senator Rams
dell, he should be given the authority
he thinks necessary,
Will Limit Debate
IN an effort to hasten action after
8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, each
Senator will be limited by agreement
TO thirty minutes' discussion of the
bill itself and to twenty minutes on
each amendment offered.
Senator Ransdell followed Senator
Sherman in an address in support of
the bill. He said:
"Half dozen or more departments
working at cross purposes cannot di~
rect war like this. Until such lcgis-
lation as this is passed the various bu-
reaus and divisions will be compelled
to continue their Independent activi-
ties, and there will exist nowhere the
authority to bring about central con-
troll and responsibility
On the argument that the bill con-
ters autocratic powers, Senator Rams
dell said
"Thcrc is not the slightest danger of
dictatorship or misuse OF power. The
power TO appropriate money--control
of the purse strings-remains entirely
with Congress. The whole control thus
is retained by Congress"

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 23.-Captain Baron Won
-Richthofen died fighting in the air, as
he would undoubtedly have chosen to
40 had he known he was fated to fall
Won Richthofen apparently was killed
while trying to break through the Brit
ish aerial defences in the Ancre region
IN order that enemy reconnaissance
machines might cross the lines to make
observations on the defences. A docu-
ment captured Sunday reveals the rea-
son for his presence there. 1t is a
communication from the "group COM
mander of aviation" to the 1st Pursuit
Squadron. of which Won Richthofen's
llth Pursuit Flight was part, saying:
ut is not possible to fly over the
Ancre in, westerly direction on ac-
count of strong enemy opposition. I
request that this aerial barrage be
forced to break in order that recon-
noissance up to the line Of Marieux
Puchevillers (ten miles from the 'front.'
may be carried out"
The captain, with his "hying circus"
Of more than twenty followers, came
flying toward the British lines near
Sally le Sac, on the Somme, at about
noon on Sunday The Germans were
seeking British prey. AS they neared
the lighting front they encountered two
British airplanes. Captain Won Rich
thofen for some reason separated him
self from his followers and started on
a furious pursuit of these machines.
Meanwhile q score of other British
planes came swirling up and engaged
the Germans. The captain kept after
his man and attempted to outmannuvre
him. The British plane which was ac-
companylng the one under attack got
above the German. The three machines
raced toward the British lines, their
machine guns chattering like mad
Meanwhile the other German machines
were fighting the British squadron
more than three miles away.
Machine guns and rifles on the
ground came into action against Cap
Iain Won ,Rlchthofen, who also was
being fired at by at least one Of his
adversaries in the air. Suddenly his
machine turned it's nose downward and
crashed to the earth.
EXamlnatlon showed the German
pilot had bullet through the heart.
1t was difficult to say whether the bull
1et came from the ground or from a
britlsh machine. In any event, he prob
ably was killed almost instantly.
The spot where he fell was under the
observation of German gunners. They
Immediately placed heavy barrage
around the fallen machine. A British
soidler crawled out and found the
aviator dead. still sitting in the seat
OF the machine, which was smashed
into thousand pieces.

Rolled
Oats

This is the time of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
FAN. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $1,000 bags of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase bag of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag of Rolled Oats from their
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream of
