CROP CONDITIONS OVER NATION MUCH BETTER WASHINGTON, May 24. Decidedly favorable weather for the advance of vegetation over almost all portions of the coJn belt, in most of the western cotton states and in several of the Atlantic coast states, prevailed during the week just ended, the national weather crop bulletin, Wednesday, announced. From Colorado northward, and in much of the Pacific states, the week largely was favorable also. Cool weather has retarded many crops in the gulf and south Atlantic states, and in New I'ngland the season is several weeks late. Beneficial rains in Texas, Oklahoma and eastern Kansas caused good progress in winter wheat and some improvement was made in. other sections. particularly the northern portions of the winter wheat states.

WASHINGTON. May 24. Brazil's entry into the war is regarded here as a question merely of days. Those who have watched South American developments closely believe that the sinking of the steamer Tijuca may provide the incident required to place the more pacific members of the Rrazilian congress in the list of those willing to vote for active hostilities against Germany. Pres't Braz asked congress Tuesday to revoke the declaration of neutrality and if congress accepts his suggestion a formal declaration of war probably will follow immediately. Rrazil was one of the first South American countries to sever relations with Germany. The text of the president's message, emphasizing Brazil's traditional policy of continental solidarity and friendship for the United States was received by cable today at the state department and at the Brazilian embassy.

CHINA'S IMll-IMIKIt IS DISMISSKI) HV PRKSIDLNT. PEKING, May 24. Pres't Li Yuon Hungr has issued a mandate dismissing Premier Tuan Chi Jiu from office and naming Dr. Wu Ting Fang, former ambassador to the United States, as acting premier and empowering him to form a new cabinet. This action probably will end the deadlock in parliament and make possible a declaration of war by China against Germany.
