Ta. actuality. \ to Aid A despatch from Washington says: The resolution-declaration that a state of war exists between the United States and Germany already passed by the Senate passed the House shortly after 8 o'clock Friday morning by 'a vote of 873 to 50, and war between the United States and Germany became an During the forenoon Vice-Presi- dent Marshall signed the resolution in the Senate and President Wilson sub- sequently affixed his signature and set in motion the Government's newly- planned machinery for mustering military, naval and economic forces into an aggressive war against Ger- many. The resolution passed the GERMAN REFORM: MO AIDED BY U, Modernization of Prussian Cons "Tempest of World's Public Opinion." A despatch from Copenhagen says: America's entry into the war evidently has had an immediate and strong ef- fect upon the reform movement in Germany. The conviction that the instant modernization of the Prussian Constitution and the proclamation of a more democratic basis of govern- ment and diplomacy in the empire, without waiting for the end of the war, is necessary as a military and political measure to counteract the "tempest of the world's public opin- jon," as the Vorwaerts puts it, is evid- ently gaining ground in all except re- "++ "to Relieve Entente Warships of Patrol Duty" ann "Off Atlantic Coast.

The demand that' Germany follow the example of' Austria-Hungary and declare itself in! favor of a peace without annexations is heard from moderate Liberals as well as from Socialist quarters. This { demand no longer represents alone the | | belief of many thinking persons that | annexation, except for slight frontier alterations, would be against the real interests of .Germany, but also thel realization that after the United States joined the ranks of the enemy the 'time had passed when Germany could hope to dictate terms of peace, or even moderate terms. * WEATHER DELAYS WESTERN FARMER Acreage Will Likely be Quite Up to 1916--Labor Situa- tion Good. A despatch from Winnipeg saysi-- Winter temperatures still prevent the west from commencing spring opera- tions on the land. In no part of the west have the farmers been able to start plowing or harrowing to any ex- tent. Seeding, it is estimated, will not be generally under way through- out the middle west until April 20. The acreage already prepared for the crop of 1917 in the form of summer- fallow, fall ploughing and first break- ing is slightly below that of a year ago. Given favorable --. however, it is expected that the acre- | age under crop in the three Provinces will be made fully as large as in 1916. ropa coms STEPS TAKEN IN BRITAIN TO TRAIN CRIPPLED SOLDIERS A despatch from London says :-- The Ministry of Labor, in conjunction with the War Pensions Statutory Com- mittee, is establishing trade advisory committees of equal numbers of em- ployers and work people representa- tives in the principal trades, to ad- vise concerning the training and em- ployment of disabled soldiers within | these trades.
