Evidence In Plenty That Re-

Zurich, Feb. 13.--After Belgium-is
Switzerland IS turn next7
Hindenburg is massing troops against
the French right flank with vast
stores of ammunition and guns. The
people here are asking whether the
treaty of 1915 will be the next "scrap
of paper"
Germans in Zurich are openly boast
ing that Ludendorff could smash the
Swiss army in 4S hours.
The Prussians, while gorging them
selves on little republics, brag they
could occupy this city the first day.
They declare Switzerland's 1900 ma
chine guns, 16 six-inch cannon, eighty
batteries of three inch field guns and
small stock of ammunition is insult
ficient to cause much trouble.
They say there are only 100000
troops under colors and that of these
but $4,000 are on the German border,
which could be swept aside and France
entered before the remainder of the
Swiss could be modified.
The concensus of opinion of people
have talked to is that if Hindenburg
docs not attempt to cross Switzerland
in AN effort to turn the French flank,
it will be because he considers it
strategically unwise.
I am told the Germans have planned
the invasion to the last detail; even
skeleton governments for the cantons
(Swiss states) exist.
At the trial of number of suspect
ed spies at Vevey documents placed in
evidence named a certain tailor as the
mayor of the town upon Prussian oc-
cupation.
Today Switzerland is struggling
valiantly not only to maintain its
neutrality but for independence for
itself.
The German agents are threatening
the staunch republic with revolution
hoping the revolution will spread into

Poison Plot To XIII
Sheep Grows Serious

San Francisco, Feb. 13.--With 395
sheep in the corrals of William Taaffe
& company here dead today and others
sick, the sheep poisoning plot which
federal officers blame on l. W. WIS or
German agents grew more serious. A
full report has been telegraphed to At
torney General Gregory by the United
States marshal s office while army Of
ficers have taken hand in the in
vestigation.
Lieutenant c. ]. Quinlin, chief vet
erinarian of the Preside, who made an
analysis declared poison undoubtedly
killed the sheep. A pathological au-
topsy by Professor G. Elschner of the
San Francisco veterinary college
brought out the same conclusion. Pro-
fessor Elschner declared the sheep
were in prime physical condition but
the poison used was neither arsenic or
cyanide.

CROWD CAPACITY OF
MERCHANT SHIPPING
There Will Be Little Cargo
Space Left For Transport
of Other Goods

Washington, Feb. 13. - With Eng
land s import business "stripped to
the skim America must at least "take
off its coat.''
In an exclusive interview with the
United Press today, Professor E. r.
Gay of Harvard, newly appointed gov
ernment ship tonnage expert, thus
warned business that hereafter there
will be but little ship space for any
thing but war materials
And as for the people, he said, "the
conception of necessities will change
greatly as the war goes on.''
Following announcement that the
government has determined to restrict
imports, Gay has been at work with
shipping and business experts develop
ing recommendations for limited i'm
ports under license. To thousands of
letters from firms throughout the coun-
try anxious to know if they will be
permitted to import materials needed
in their business, Gay gave a blanket
answer today.
This countSy must understand, -
he said, 'that there will be room only
for vital needs. Necessary isn't a
strong enough word. We will take ev-
cry means possible to avoid unexpect-
ed upsets to business, but no lists of
materials for which licenses will not
be issued can be announced, as condi-
tions will be altogether too flexible. "
England, he said, lis playing the
game on the square" Before the war
her imports amounted to 54,000,000
tons In 1916 they were cut to 43,000,-

Rumanian Armies Are Driv-
ing BOIsheyiki Across
Dneister River

Washington, Feb. 13.-Rumania has
ignored Germany's "a hour ultimatum
to "conclude immediate peace"
According to a message flashed by
wireless from Jassy to Salonika and re-
layed by cable today to DR.. Constantin
Angolasca, Rumanian minister here, Ru-
mania has "disdainfully ignored" Ger
many S threat and will survive or per-
ish with the allies"
With Teuton divisions on one side,
the Bolsheviki on the other and many
miles away from friendly force, King
ferdinand s plucky nation is fighting
harder today than ever before, accord
ing to official dispatches received here.
Rumanian troops, the cables stated,
have crossed the River Pruth and now
occupy the entire Russian province of
Bessarabia, which recently declared in
dependence. Bolsheviki troops have
been defeated in several pitched battles
and have withdrawn from the province
which is now being ruled by provis-
lonal government.
One force of 100000 Russians, former
ly under command of General Tcher.,
batchoff, have been driven across the
Dniester where they were disarmed by
the Ukrainians, the dispatch declared.
Rumania s government and people de-
cided irrevocably to east their die with
full knowledge of the consequences. The
former unintentional betrayal by the
allies-a mistake which forced the eyac-
uation of seven eights of the country
before the advancing Austro- German
legions-has not dahipened Rumania IS
faith in the ultimate triumph, Rumanian
statesmen here say.
Behind the decision of Rumania, mil
itary critics see the promise of an en-
tente offensive in the Balkans. Without
assurances of cooperation from the Sal
oniki forces, Rumania would hardly be
in a position to withstand Teuton
drive. On the other hand, Withdrawal!
of any of The 45 divisions now concen-
trated against the Rumanian front,
would leave an opening in the line thru
which King Ferdinand's s forces might
threaten Bulgaria on the north.

GERMANS MASSING MEN

Italy and France. The Prussians boast
the German people are better disci
plined than the rest of the world; that
if revolutionary doctrines ure scattered
broadcast other nations will succumb
while Germany will remain unscathed
Switzerland is swarming with the
agents of the Prussia war party. Dis
cussing the question of what the Rus
sian Bolsheviki movement could have
hoped to accomplish in Switzerland,
France, Italy, England and even Amer
lea, the celebrated Journal De Geneve
declared
"a great revolutionary wave coming
from the Orient and crossing Germany
is now swiriing at the foot of the Alps.
Concerted, methodic internationalist
agitations are growing in our cities.
These tend to provoke by violence a
revolution which from Switzerland
would gain neighboring countries. -
The paper is one of the most sub
stantial in Europe. The warning was
prompted by sensational developments
of the past few weeks throughout Ger
man Switzerland.
Labor troubles are increasing. Pure
ly political strikes have already oc-
CURED. Others are brewing. 1 am
told they are all inspired by foreigners
not belonging to allied countries. F."
The latest menace came from the
radical laborites, foreign-led, in the
shape of an ultimatum to the govern
ment, demanding withdrawal Of GER
tain war measures, immediate release
and indemnifcation of deserters who
are forced to work and complete de-
of the army by May l.
The laborites declared that if within
4S hours after the ultimatum was rati-
fled by labor unions and socialists the
terms were unheeded a general strike
would be called.
The best element of labor is gener-
ally against the ultimatum but German
agitators, aiming at a revolution are
busy day and night.
Meantime, German troops are gather
ing near the Swiss border.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Peace between
the United States and Austria can only
come when the Austrian people break
with the German junkers.
Possibility of such peace is strong.
To drive home the former statement,
while convinced of the latter one, Pres
ident Wilson made his momentous ad-
dress to congress, the United Press can
state semi-officially today.
The president wants the. people to
know that this is not a swash-buckling
nation.
His address was designed to answer
the peace note spreading throughout
the world-and at the same time to
serve notice on the German junkers that
America is not gulled by the vagaries
of Won Hertling.
In seeking a definite Interpretation
of the president Is message, the United
Press sought also to clear up doubt as
to whether or not it was fundamentally
a peace or war message. It was both.
The president is more than ever de-
termined to wage the war to a success
full termination-but at all times he is
prepared to meet the Teuton peoples in
for peace.
A separate peace with Austria can
come if she will break with Germany.
The president has not backed down
from his original stand on peace. He
will not deal with the German junkers.
The German people must break away
from the absolute control of Won Hin
denburg and Ludendorff. They need not
dethrone the kaiser, who is regarded by
the president merely as tool in the
hands of militarists, but they must in
augurate electoral reforms such as will

: lSTRIAN PEOPLE MUST
ofVER JUNKER RELATIONS
BEFORE PEACE is SIGNED

, insure this government IS dealing with
the people of Germany-not the junk
ers.
There must be no armistice with the
German military party-a peace that
would allow it to prepare merely for
another war. Strong arm methods in
Germany must yield to democratization.
As for details of the other bases for
peace the president is willing to be
shown his views are not the most prac-
ticable.
The German controlled Austrian gov
ernment today is under two fires-the
demands of the people for peace and the
demands of the German junkers for con-
tinuation of the war.
That the people, in the end will win,
is the conviction of the president. The
German militarists must eventually
break under the destruction of their
false promises. They ridiculed the Amer
lean army-but that was before they
saw this country is preparing, not for
years expedition, but for war that
will last indefinitely to win her aims.
The Austrian people after the president
made his last war aims speech to con-
gress demanded strongly the throwing
off of the junker influence. For time
it looked as if they would win. Czernin
wavered before the cross fires-and
then yielded once more to the Germans.
But once again the president has
struck out to show the Austrians the
futility of their alliance. 0And his mes
sage might have been shortened to read:
"Break away from Germany-and the
democracy of America will receive you.
Stand by Germany and you must take
the consequences along with the junk
ers of that nation.''

1t is not yet permissible to announce

All night long the sky flickered and

No Mans Land was continuously al
most as light as day with miriads Of

onslaught.
There was little infantry action dur.
ing the night and today. There was rou-
tine patrelling and sniping but no
clashes occurred.
The unusually good visibility prevail
ing today bfought out numerous allied

programs had "affirmed nothing but
the most obstinate, irreeoneilable de-
termination to carry out a previously

The premier declared italy was fac
ing a dilemma, in that she is new ex-
posed to invasion from both land and

ell had found peace impossible and had
decided to direct its whole attention

For the first time the pope is said
to feel that there is a sincere willing
ness on the part of the allies to reach
Just and peaceful agreement.
The vatican however, does not ex-
pect the end of the war before anOth-
er summer IS campaign has been fought
to its bloody end. 1t still believes there
can be no military decision and there

is uniustifiable.

Except in the case of men wholly in

that German prisoners will Immediately
be re-mustered into the army. In mill
itary way, Germany will get all the best
of this exchange, as her men will again
become soldiers, while Russia with
drawal from the war means the Russian
prisoners will follow civil pursuits.
