PARLIAMENT VOTES ON QUES
TION OF DEFINITE DECLARA
TION; DRIVEN INTO CON
FLICT TO AVENGE OLD
WRONGS.
Rio Janeiro, Oct. 23. Parlia
ment will vote tomorrow on the
question of authorizing; the govern
ment to declare that a state of war
exists between Germany and Brazil
and also on all necessary legislation
for the carrying on of war.
President Urges War.
The president of t;ie republic, Dr.
AVenceslo Braz, has sent a message
to congress declaring it is impossible
to avoid noting already the' state of
Avar which Germany has imposed on
Brazil. He proposes the seizure of
a German warship now in the port
of Bahia.
Brazil revoked her decree of neu
trality in the war between the en
tente allies and Germany last June.
The Brazilian government had prev
iously revoked its policy of aloof
ness so far as-it affected hostilities
between the United States and Ger
many. The trouble bewten Brazil
and Germany reached a climax in
April when the Brazilian steamer
Parana was torpedoed. The German
minister received his passports and
anti-German riots broke out in sev
eral cities. A large number of Ger
man ships in Brazilian ports were
seized.
Recent German Intrigues.
Recent dispatches from Buenos
Aires reported disclosures of German
intrigues to bring about a conflict
between Brazil, Argentina and Uru
guay.
The parliamentary, diplomatic com
mission discussed the message, which
it ia considered possible the chain
ber will adopt.
Would Join Allies.
The torpedoing of the Brazilian
ship Macau is causing considerable
comment. The Journal Do Commer
cio says:
"Brazil does not look for war and
does not want war, but Germany is
driving us into the whirl. We shall
go with the countries for whom
honor is above all."
According to declarations of vari
ous members before the chamber, a
declaration of war would be the
only satisfactory solution and the
diplomatic commission should not
again come before the chamber with
out a declaration of war.
Some of the members said there
was not a single Brazilian who did
not espouse the cause of the government.
KENNEDY IN WASHINGTON
FUEL NEEDS OF STATE
Washington, Oct. 25. John L.
Kennedy, Nebraska fuel administra
tor, ha3 arrived here for a confer
ence tomorrow with Dr. II. A. Gar
field, of the fuel administration.
As outlined to the World-Herald,
Mr. Kennedy stated that he would
endeavor to do four things while he
is here, as follows:
First Endeavor to alleviate the
hard coal situation, which is very
acute in Nebraska. He knows that
the long hauls are to be avoided
wherever possible, but he wants to
get absolute data which will enable
him to inform Nebraskans whether
or not they are to keep their base
burners. Second Secure permission in lieu
of immediate organization of local
coal committees to himself pass on
community needs. This power to
te utilized only until thorough local
organization formulated.
Third Get assurances as to what
amounts of coal Nebraska may de
pend upon receiving during the next
six months.
Fourth Get power to trace and
divert shipments for public institu
tions and school uses and lighting
and water plant uses.
Mr. Kennedy will go over Nebras
lea's problems very minutely with the
head of the administration and will
return to Nebraska immediately af
terward to enter into the perfor
mance of his duty with might and
main.

COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION
Co-operation is civilization's foundation stone. We are
not exactly our "brothers keeper," but each day we are com
ing to realize more fully the common kinship of humanity.
We are learning that our own selfishness hurts us more
than it does the other fellow. We are learning that our activi
ties in making a living for ourselves affect others besides us.
Every day's work we do whether it be as a common la
borer, or as a master-executive directing the course of some
great enterprise starts a multitude of complex machinery
working in our delicately adjusted economic fabric.
The dinner you ate today, the field you plowed, your day's
work in the shops every activity, no matter how common
place, has an influence upon your fellowman-at-large. Like
wise the dinner eaten by your neighbor over the way, or the
field he plowed, or his day's work in the shops his every ac
tivity, no matter how commonplace, has an influence upon
you, more or less direct.
Every normal human being is working for one purpose
to get life's necessities and perhaps some of its luxuries.
We are fast learning that the best way to further our
own selfish interests is to contribute as well as consume.
We influence, and are mostly influenced by those most
intimately associated with us. For this reason the individual
does or does not grow and prosper exactly as the community
in which he lives does or does not grow and prosper.
It is most necessary that each citizen (for his own well
being) do all in his power to make his community a prosper
ous, progressive one. Co-operation is the most wonderful of
builders.

The wheat will be purchased
through the Canadian government
at the same price as fixed for the
American 1917 crop. Its coming will
relieve pressure upon the American
northwestern supply.
Unless peace should intervene and
the food administration come to an
end, there will be no change in the
government purchase price of the
1917 harvest of wheat. This an
nouncement was made today by the
food administration in denial of
rumors current in some agricultural
sections that the price was to be
altered.

SAVES 5,000 BBLS. FLOUR

Restaurants of all classes made en
ergetic efforts to comply with Food

ery one of the large hotels cut wheat
products from their menus.
Henry Nolan, a buyer for one of
the large hotels, estimated that a
saving of between 4,000 and 5,000
barrels of flour was made in restau

said, a saving of nearly 1,500,000
bushels annually if kept up each
week.
