MARCH 1. 1917 PAGE 6 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL GERMANS ABANDON LINES TO BRITISH ttake Greatest Retirement in Two Years to Occupy New Positions. London. Under cover of a heavy fog. which shielded their operation! trom British observers, the German n Saturday carried out the greatest retirement they have made on the western front In the last two years and the British have taken possession f Pys, Serre, Miraumont and Petit Mirauniont, Including the famous Butte de Warlencourt, which has been the scene of some of the fiercest fight ing of the war and in places is deep with the bones of dead meu. The German retirement, it is esti Boated, approaches a depth of three miles at some points. The British soon will b. in a posi tion, possibly, to force the evacuation of Bapaume, which has been the key to the German position since the be ginning of the battle of the Somme. It Is evident now that the Hermans, taking advantage of the heavy frost and hard ground, moved a great many of their guns well to the rear, leaving others forward to keep up a show of resistance. This they had been vali antly doing for three or four days. The foggy, misty weather was Ideal for the beginning of the Herman re tirement, as it completely hid the pur pose of the movement from the prying eyes of the airplanes. Berlin It Firm With Brazil. Rio Janeiro. Brazil's declaration to Germany that she does not recog nise the submarine Worksite leaves with Germany the responsi bility for all acts from winch Brazil ian merchantmen may suffer in viola tion of international law- has elicited from Germany a statement that the blockade will not be abandoned.

Washington. President Wilson ad dressed a joint session of congress t 1 p. in. Monday, suit asked for author tty to establish a state of "armed neutrality.". He has made full and detailed plans tor protertliiK Ameri can ships desiring to enter the Uer man wur xone. t The president asked congress to empower him to use the armed forces of the I'nltvd Slates to protect Amerl cau rights on the high seas. In addition to giving authority to establish a slate of armed neutrality, congress Is expected to place in the president's hands authority to get ad ditional money If needed. To ask for authority to use the forces of the United States to protect American rights is not in any sense In oulf r..p - .1 1 i .... .. .. ..... mom iui m ii i a i n l urn ui f ,1 , 11 VJ I Is It an act of war.

I The president poluted out that I while he desires peace, there Is some- 1 thing greater thau peace, the protec-1 tion of the sovereign rights of Ainerl- i a, and that the untrammeled right of i American ships to sail the seas un molested by any forelgu nation must be upheld. Mr. Wilson's decision to go before congress was partly caused by the fact that Germany's campaign Is keep ing American ships tied up In Ameri can ports. Such a condition, the pres ident said, is unbearable. Arming American merchantmen or convoying them through the war tone are two methods of protecting Ameri can commerce being considered. Ex actly what steps will be taken haa not been revealed. Senate Resolution Authorizes Force. A resolution authorizing the presi dent to use the armed forces of the United States was Introduced In the senate by Senator Pall, republican. Senator Kail's resolution was offer ed by unanimous consent Saturday after a bitter two-hour debate on the international situation In which re publicans disclaimed any desire to withhold support from the president in handling, the situation. The authority to be extended by the resolution is along the general line of that which President Wilson request ed in his address Monday. Senator Fall's action took administration sen ators completely by surprise, as It was not known that the president would go before oongress Monday.
