Break-UD of Missouri
Is Expected Soon

The ice in the Missouri is still in
tact this Thursday afternoon but
the breakup is due very soon. Men
who crossed today did so part of the
way by boat and part on the ice
but said it was so rotten a pole could
be rammed through it. The high
temperature of the past few days
has melted most of the snow and
converted the tributary streams into
torrents. The lower sections Of the
bottom lands along the river are now
flooded.
The Yellowstone broke up several
days ago and some of the smaller
streams.

Cologne occupation will characterize
that occupation beyond January 10
as a fundamental breach of the treaty

right of the entente to postpone its

ground of the alleged defaults by
Germany cited in the preliminary
note of January 5.
The German answer, drafted at to-

fined to formal protest against
violation of a treaty principle. Speci-

uation of the Cologne occupation are
based are branded as fiimsy by the
German newspapers. which continue
to designate the accusations of the
allies as being intended primarily for
foreign consumption.
