A well. informed diplomat expressed the pre- vailing feelingeand policy of the- eu- tente to the etneociated Press tonight. as follows: \Should Holland, after stigmatizing the German war zone declaration as wholly Illegal, acquisce in the measure, the entesae would be bound to regard such actIon as unneutral and would feel constrained to take retaliatory measures, even to the possible extent of using their right, which would en- able. the entente governments to re- quisition Dutch shipping now within their harbors. Such action on the part of the Dutch would tend to make the German policy effective, RS the hold- ing up of neutral shipping Is more serious than an attack on entente ton nage, which proceeds despite the risk. \No complaint In this direction has been made against the United States, which has already taken action that might lead to war. Therefore, the American government Is justified in laying up shipping until measures are taken to safeguard it. \The entente policy is not purely negative, for should Dutch ships come out -,every effort will be made to pro- tect them. Shutild such measures fail, then - Germany must be acknowledged the top dog, and no blame would at- tach to Holland. \Scandinavian shipping is already moving to a considerable extent and no disposition is shown to follow Hol- land's lead. \The political crisis in Sweden, it is thought, must end in a favorable turn of relations between that country and the entente powers, by whom it is generally believed the outcome will ul- timately result in an agreement where- by a reasonable rationing basis wili be established,\ au FORCES ARE rkossING NEAR L.. a AREZ, March 7.—Gen. Jose Car - lies Mut/info and Gen. Pablo Gonzales left here late today for the San Mar- tin ranch, 50 Miles southeast of Jua- , ez, with a column of de facto cavalry and with machine guns rikounted In automobiles. A battle with Villa forces known to lie in the vicinity of the San Martin ranch is expected to- night or tomorrow. A command of 150 cavalry left Jua- rez late yesterday for the San Martin ranch, General Murguia and General Gonzales took 100 men with them to- day and another column of 200 troops was scheduled to !eve Juarez to- night. A force of 260 men will join these troops at other outposts along the Rio Grande. General Alurgula is expected to have 700 men when he reaehes the rendezvous of the Villa troops. Rumors that there was a Villa com- mand at the San Martin ranch were received here yesterday, but it was not definitely known the rebels were there until last night when a tele-, phone message from El Paso informed General , Murguia of the presence of the force. As soon as it became known today that the Villa troops were massing at the ranch, General Murguia organized the motor machine lgun corps and with General Gonzales left in an automo- bile. Col. Rojas Juarez, chief of staff to General Murguia, organized • third column and prepared for its depart- ure tonight. Eight Villa prisoners were brought here today trom Cases Grandes on a military train that was fired upon by Ma rebels near Barreal, 60 miles southwest of Juarez. They will be sent to Chihuahua City for trial be- fore a military court on Charges of treason and, if found guilty, will be executed there, it was said at milt- . tary headquarters late today. Reports of ailkting in the vicinity of Oases Grandos'enere received here today from El Paso, but were denied at military headquarters. Eight hundred cans of opium val- ued g ilt $32,000 gold were seized here yeeterday and five American men and two American women were taken into custody by the Juarez police officers The raid followed one recently when 100 Chinese were arrested on a simi- lar charge.

Sup- plementing the general denial made - Past night in Washington by the Co - 1 bi that military steps have been taken to discover whether Germany has es- tablisbed, tut .reported, a ananarine base on the east coast of Colombia. \Reports of an alliance between Co- lombia and Germany are raeliciottely and Resolutely false and without any Possible fotuidation,\ said Mr. Suedaat cable, signed by the minister of for. Olga relations. \We are dispatebieg a military commission to Costa Urabia for the purpose of making a most searching inveatigatiou with refer- ence to the ifforiee concerning Ger- man submarines.\ .e 0- J IN THIS STATE \Montana is producing enough oats to keep Sunny Jim smiling all the time.\ , Snch was the declaration made dur- ing a debate in the Montana state senate on a question of preventing eastern cereal manufacturers from giving premiums with their products, a law designed to protect the cereal manufacturing business in the Treas- urer *ate.. The discussion incident to the bill gained (or Hal Stewart. brother of the governor, the sobriquet of \Oat- meal Hal.\ The discussion incident to this leg- islation has served to draw attention to the importance of the cereal man- ufacturing business in the state. Mon- tana Is WWI producing as breakfast foods, rolled oats, whtat flakes, pearl barley and pancake flour. Two Plante In litraintsa. There are two plants engaged in the business, those of the Hamilton Cereal and 'lour Mill company, lo- cated at Hamilton, and the Bozeman Milling company, which has been op- erating for about seven years. The combined output of these two plants is oat about sufficient te supply the demands of the state if they have all the business. Outside concerns, how- ever, thorugh the attractiveness ot premiums and coupon advertising have been getting 60 or 60 per cent of the trade, and as a result much of the Montana product has been shipped to Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah slid California. inquiries have beet received from several eastern whole- sale concerns, but freight rates have served to keep the Montana goods out if that market. With the growth and development ^if the grain growing possibilities of the state, it is. expected that cereal food manufacturing will become of more and More iMportanee. \ Sixty Four Mills in,State. Already the flour industry has be - atone an important one. There are 60 flour mills operating in the state, and rrom 50 to 75 per cent of their prod- uct is shipped beyond its confines. Montana made flour has gained a footholdd in nearly every section of the nation and has been found to be as good as any flour made in the United States. The industry - has been built upon a substantial basis and the mill equipment, particularly in the large Industries, is the finest in the world. Millions of dollars have been invested In the industry and yet it is but in its 'nfancy. Millers are learning, as nackers have learned in the past, that it is tar more profitable to utilize the \aw product near the place of its pro- duction and ship the Gnest product to market, than to ship the raw product to market and bring back the refined article. English Government Eeperlments. Some idea of the impotlance of the cereal business, ihpecially the manu- 'acture of roiled oats, may be gath- ered from the fact that the English government has been experimenting with various kinds of food products for the army and navy, and the tests have shown that rolled oats are the best for all general purpopes. Pound of rolled oats as compared with e pound of beef, mutton, cheese or'the eggs will go holt about twice as far. ks a result the English government has derided to use roiled oats as the principal food for the army and the navy RED MEN CONTINUE TO TAKE PALE FACES INTO TRIBE Mocettein Tribe, No. 21, T. 0. R. M., held IC weitettended council last eve- ning at their wigwam in the, old K. of P. hall. The officers were well pleesed to see so many old and feral- Har faces around the council fire. The chief of records was kept busy recording applications for reinstate- ment and pale facet for adoption. The adoption and warrior degrees ,ere conferred upon several camp - dates and the chiefs' degree will be lonferred at the next qounce Meet). After the war paint and feathers were removed the braves enjoyed a feed of venison and smoked the pipe of peace until hoe sun.

Whether the civil service commie - Mon, under which fourth class post- masters are now named, will conduct the examinations has not been deter- mined. The president's forthcoming order will provide for a form of Modified civ- il service classification under which all vacancies, whether caused by resig- nation, removal or death, will be filled by competitive examination. Those already in the service will continue without examination until the expira- tion of four yearn' term beginning with their last appointment, and will then, it is understood, have to uniergo the competitive test. A hornet's nest was stirred up by the announcement at the capitol whore scores of members were in their of' fides preparing to leave for home. The order was roundly denounced because some of the democratic leaders and several members construed it as a move to get combined democratic and republican support in' a politically un- certain house. A number of congressmen who called on the postmaster general today were told about the plan. Democratic Leader Kitchin Of thelouse delayed his departure for North Carolina to go to the •pcStOffice department to register his protest. Most of ,the cenireessroen who saw Mr. Burleson went on the latter's in- vitation to discuss the new plan for systematizing postal accountings by establishing central auditing postof- flees in county or district groups. This subject wa sovershadowed, however, when the news of the civil aervIce or- der was broken. The postmaster general is quoted as having told them It was too late to pretest, as the order bad- been deter- mined upon and would be carried out He intimated that he was not the au- thor of it, but that it was a measure I of efficiency and economy. Another member suggested that the order would put many republicans in office, as many of the more active as Blatant postmasters are republicans re tamed by the democratic postmasters and amother wanted to know wile' would happen if the one man certifiee from the examination were a negro The postmaster general, according 'teems present, replied that the exam Mations would lutye to take place an there would be \no special privilege to any one.\ In the discontent voiced by mem bers after the conference committee complained that the order would take out of political life some of the mos' active supporters of the represents Dyes in congress. A majority of the republicans joined with democrats recrently In rejecting a proposition for putting all postmas- ters under the civil service, when an amendment to that effect was offered to an appropriation bill in the house although Republican Leader Mann and a few others favored it. SATURDAY HERE IS ORANGE DP There are more California oranges In Lewistown today that never before In history. Immense shipments by fast freight havA been coming in fo - the past week to supply the ee big de mend by local merchants in prepara- tion for National Orange day which. this year, falls on Saturday. March 10. Fruit dealers say that there will be more orknges bought and eaten dur- ing the next few days than during any similar period preceding the Orange I &GA of the past years. Reports from California indicate that !the same condition is true throughou' country. This great annual fruit festival nationally inaugurated a fetv years ago has grown to such propor- tions, that in the California groves professional orange picking gangs have been kept tremendously busy for the past week taking the fruit from the trees fast enough to supply. all the markets. Train load after train load has left the Golden state already, and they are still coming. Loa .year at Orange Day, .Mayor Thonipson of Chimers issued a procla- mation designating the day as one on which to eat oranges freely and be thankful fqr the low price and deli- cious quality of this healthful fruit. It is expected that a number of city mayors will follow Chicago's examph this year, and make the day one m semi-official observance. This recog ration is given solely on the- bash of the beneficial ; qualities of orange , and their widespread distribution with in reach of people everywhere a. prices that permit all to enjoy them. Orange Day comes at the heigla of the Navel Orange season, and the crap this year is one of the larger and best in years. Many local frui dealers report that they have sob more boxes and half boxes of orange , *is year than they Rohl in doze, and half dozen lots 10 'years ago. Betwemi new and Orange Day watch the front windows of the stores where oranges are sold. There will be con- siderable competition locaily in the ef- fort to produce the moat attractive and Interesting window display for Orange day. WASHINGTON, Marsh 7.—When the senate met today Senator Walsh of ideates& introduced a resolution to provide for re -adoption or the old sen- ate rules, with -exception of the rule concerning precedence of motions and for the appolutment by the vice presi- dent of u special committee to revise that rule. The t•ommittee would con- sist of four democrats and three re- p uh Senator licans. Walsh did not ask for mediate action on the resolution In view of 'unsettled condition of affairs. but was accorded the privilege of ad- dressing the senate regarding it by lie it legal argument unanimous d e con a se l n o t n . and concluded by declaring that a general alarm pervades the country relearding probability of ear and that Negress should be in a position to lied not to be thwarted by \hon- est but emieguided peace-atemy-price men.\ \The people whom, in our feeble way, we are trying here to repre- sent,\ Senator Walsh said, \are evi- dently resolved to take upon them- selves burdens for providing and main- taining a naval and militate: estate lishment greater than ever heretofore borne in times of peace. A genuine alarm pervades the country lest some enemy may in the very near futute attack us imagine the time at hand and the foe bearing down upon us. The crisis involves the very lite of the nation. The occasion brooks no delay. Action—immediate action --by congress is imperative. It Is scarce- ly conceivable that war should he precipitated or be impending without an appeal from the presIdenp for some hurried action by congress. Such an appeal comes to this body. It finds a ready response, except from a small coterie of aenatars who follow each other on the floor until the enemy thunders at the gates of our cities, and the republic has had its death blow. They may be honest, but MIS - guided peaeo-at-an-pricc men who re- fuse to believe that war is inevitable and continue to hope that the awful horror of armed conflict may be avert- ed by further peaceful overtures. \Multitudes of sagacious men be- lieved in 1861 that the 'teeth would not fight and others that the north would never resort to rime to pre- serve the Union. It is not conceiv- able that the obstructienists, filibust- ers, may be actuated by traitorous sentiments. The revolution had its Arnold. I trust I offend no sensibill• lea in referring to the fact that in 1.8e1 10 or more members of this body were expelled for treason. \We are all sworn to bear true faith and allegiance to theelinited States, a needless oath, unease it be that some of us may conceivably require the aid of Heaven to keep true. \What say you, can the senate make a rule tinder a hick It may be held at bay by treachery until a for- eign foe shall have prevailed over a supine nation—I repeat, s rule of the senate, the effect of which is or may be to deprive it of the power, under circumstances of bringing debate to a close, is void. \I.am not one of those who, being - balked by some law, would ruthlettsly sweep it aside to attain this end. Rev- erence for the law is the sure founda- tion upon which government and so- ciety alike rest. If in our conducteit is not inculcated where shall we look to find It ethibited? . shall evote with a clear conscience that we violate no law in fixing a time at wh•ch dehete on any subject before this body shall, close.\ NOTICE OF eiteeitleLiN's SALE 01 1 ' REAL EsTATF- In the District Court of the Tenth Ju- dicial District of the Ware of Mon- tana, in and for the todnty of Fer- gus.
