WILL RAISE BLOCKADE
This Is to Be Done After Protocol
Has Been Signed.
DONE IN A FEW DAYS
Emphasis Continues to Be Laid Upon
the Contention That the Allies
" Desire Separate, Not Pref
erentiai Treatment.

London, Feb. Tt is officially stat
ed here that the allies offer to sub.
NIT the method of treatment of their
claims TO arbitration is a concession
which should facilitate rather than de
lay a SPECIFY settlement of the Vene
zuelan affair. The allies will raise the
blockade as soon as the protocol en-
bodying the arbitration agreement is
signed and not await the decision OF
The Hague court of arbitration or that
Of President Roosevelt.
At the German embassy it is stated
the blockade should be raised within
few days. Emphasis continues to be
laid on the contention that the point
the allies now agree to arbitrate is not
preferential but separate treatment OF
their claims. In the event of Presi-
dent Roosevelt declining to arbitrate,
which seems to be anticipated, the all.
lies are willing to Immediately pre-
pare their case for The Hague court
of arbitration. the outlines of which
would be embodied in the protocol
with Venezuela and upon Minister
Bowen paying the cash promised, the
protocol would be signed aud the
blockade would end.
These statements are ALI made on
the proviso that the previous arrange
ments between Mr.. Bowen and the rep
sentatlves of the allies hold good and
that no new complications arise, such
as further demands on the part of
Venezuela So far as known here the
only question at issue is that of treat
Ing the German. British and Italian
claims separately from those OF the
other powers. and the allies are now
willing to leave it to The Hague court
OF arbitration or to Mr.. Roosevelt
whether they are all to share in the
80 per cent of the customs or whether
the other powers are to receive addi-
flonaI proportions lis asserted that
Mr. Bowen has made explanations to
Ambassador Herbert which have re-
moved the friction in that quarter. and
It is just possible that RECOURSE to |
either The Hague court or to Mr..
Roosevelt may be avoided even at the
last moment by the representatives Of /
the allies coming TO an understanding
with Mr.. Bowen himself in regard to i
the separate treatment of their claims.
lt IS understood that instructions to /
this end have been reiterated from
Berlin and London with the hope Of
facilitating the Y.rofs,af7tt,,n ~ i

"LITTLE DROPS OF WATER"
| Who Wrote It:-Tvo Reputed Au-
thors Brushed Aside.
Librarian John Ashhurst of the Mer-
camille library has made further inycs-
tigati0n into the claims Of Mrs. 5E!i:
A. Carney for a memorial as tn" au-
thor of the popular childhood hymn.

ship is even denied Florence Sargent
OsgOod. who apparently disputed ehe
claims of the GoldSburg woman.
superintendent Brooks who denied
the request that the school children he
permitted to contribute to fund FOR
Mrs. Carney. also made some inquiries
on his own account. but could not find
the poem among the books in the board
of education library. In the dicticn-
airy Of hymnology edited by John Jul
ian, NJ O., an article written by Jul
ian himself sives DR.. g.. c. $rewcr as
the author of 'a.ittle Things it being
published by him in 1913 in Reading
ana Spelins.' subsequently lie verses
We're altered and appeared in other gu
venle publications.
The original TOR Brewer version OF
Little Things" reads:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean.
Make the beauteOus land.
Straw by straw the sparrow
Builds it's cOzy nest.
Eeaf lE leaf the forest
Stands in veruure drest.
Letter after letter
Words and books are snaAe;
$ittle and by little
S Mountains level laid.
Drop by drop is iron
Worn in time away:
Perseverance. patience,
Ever win their way
Ever finished labor
Once did but begin.
Try and go on trying;
That's the way to win.
subsequently an American version %
the same poem appeared. Some &C.
credit this to Mrs. Carney, others to
Mrs. Osgood. This version is the one
largely used in Sunday school hymnals
of little folks. 1t reads
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.
And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
OF eternity.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love. =
Make our earth an Eden |
Like the heaven above.
So our little errors
Lead the soul astray
From the path of virtue
Into sin to stray.
Little seeds of mercy,
Sown by useful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heather lands.
This version has been in turn altered
and realtered in subsequent publica-
tons. Fitzgerald in his "Story of Fa-
nous Songs" gives the authorship of
the lines to Mrs. Carney. but Libra
rian Ashhurst regards this as an error.

not an original one with the author

in beautiful language. If we accept
that, we Will have to erect our memo

of Mr.. Ashhurst.

LEGLSLATITE DOLNG.s

Milford, Pike Comfy, Pa

Two bills now before the legisla-
ture are of considerable local inter.
est. One makes it unlawful to kill
deer in any other manner than by
the use of a charge or cartridge
containing but one ball and fixing a
penalty of 800; the other is to fix
the pay Of election officers according
TO the number of votes polled.
It may be a pertinent question to
ask why our member, and he is but
following in the footsteps of all his
illustrions predecessors save per-
haps one, Hon. William Westfall,
does not find some way to keep his
constituents enlightened as to bills
affecting their interests. Judge
Westfall used to write weekly
letter to the local paper giving a
synopsis of events at the capitol.
In this manner the public, to q
certain extent, was kept informed
of matters which affected it. The
custom before was and since his
incumbency has been for our legis-
lators to spend their time in other
ways. Possibly some of them could
not write a letter orthographically
and grammatically fit to appear in
print but the editor could fix is up
if he had the facts. At all events
copies OF the bills could be sent tC
some public Office here so that th,
information could be generally OBJ
tanned.

In order that citizens of the coun-
