BREAK OCCURS
THE
UNITED STATES, GERMANY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—
Ambassador Gerard was recalled
promptly by cable on Saturday
morning and it was announced that
Bernstorff would be given his pass
ports that same day, Wilson waj
announced to address Conrgess in
joint session at two o'clock Saturday
afternoon upon the submarine
question. The officials of the stati,
department refused to comment m
that time upon the situation. The
President completed his message
early in the morning and would be.
ready promptly at two. o'clock to
speak.
Bernstorff was handed his pass
ports at three minutes before two
while Wilson was just then making
ready his talk before the joint ses
sion. The members were all in
their places and the galleries were
packed. Wilson told Congress in
detail that if American ships and
lives should be sacrificed heedless
of the fact that such was in contra'
vention of just and reasonable un
derstanding of international law,
lie' would again take the liberty ot
again coming before Congress to
ask authority to use any means in
his power to carry protection “to
our people in prosecution of their
i peaceful and legitimate errands on
! the high seas. I can do nothing
less. I believe”, he concluded, “that
all neutral nations will make a sim
ilar declaration to that of ours. De
claration of war rests upon Get
many”. '
Democrats roared applause when
Wilson stepped alertly upon the
platform to speak but it was less
prolonged because of the marked
tension that prevailed and under
which he evidently labored. The
friendly smile so well known a
characteristic of Wilson in his pub
lic appearances was missing and he
appeared worn and worried. He
showed visible signs of impatience
when the announcement of the sev
PASSAGE OF THE LAW
WAS DUE TO WICK
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—
The Alaska bone dry law is due in
the first place to Mrs. Robert Hat
cher of Knik who as head of the
Alaska Temperance Union arrived
in the capital about the middle of
January with the rough draft of
such a law with her. Double team
ing upon the part of Senator Jones
and Delegate Wickersham did the j
rest. The Alaska wets sought to I
have the question of a bone dry law
submitted to a referendum upon ]
the part of the people, declaring
that the people desired no such law
when they so voted. This referen
dum was defeated by the tireless
activity of Wickersham. The Al
askans claimed that Wickersham
was paying off the Northern Com
mercial Co. and M’Gowan for their
activities against him in the Fourth
Division where they put the Times
! out of business, the only Wicker
| sham paper in that section.

CRISIS REMOVES QUESTION'S.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—
Laborites view with alarm the war
sentiment spread and the interna
tional crisis usurp the public atten
tion to the exclusion of all else. It
is likely that the possibility of war
will practically render impossible
any activity upon the part of the
brotherhoods looking towards the
establishment of the eight hour day.
In the excitement of the present
time, labor questions of paramount
importance are being lulled to sleep
and the radical press and labor
journals will have a difficult time
getting attention for some time to
come. It is feared that labor pro
secutions which are many just now,
will be pressed with undue severity
because of the complex international
situation that has arisen and only
the socialist publications seem to be
taking steps to avert this eventual
ity.
protest against their people being
called upon to fight and shed blood
under the banner of any European
monarch. The appeal is very forc
ible and is receiving considerable at
tention although the administration
regards it-as a blow directed against
it.

ANTI-WAR PARADES EXPECTED.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—That the
possibility of hostilities opening up
with Germany will be allowed to
continue without any protest upon
the- part of those who have no sym
pathy with such a war is highly
improbable. The manner in which
the Bryan protest is being hailed by
a large section of the people is
proof that these protests will take
on the form of demonstrations.
The situation is very serious,
especially if steps are taken to sup
press this expression of opinion, as
is not impossible for obvious rea
sons.
Anything In the line of job work
Satisfaction assured.
