PRESIDENT ILL; TAKES REST
Wilson Delays New Session Of Con-
gress on the Shipping 6lIl-To
Seek Views of Public.

Washington, Feb. 19.-There will be
no immediate extra session Of the Six
ty-fourth congress. The president has
settled all doubts. The president is far
from well. His nervous system is for
time at least impaired. Occasional
headaches have drifted into periodical
neuralgia and this now shows symp-
toms of becoming chronic. Mr.. Will
son will welcome the rest and change
which he will find in the trip to Cali
fornia and the exposition. The presi-
dent will tap the wires of public opin-
ion at every stop between Washington
and San Francisco on the shipping
bill in an endeavor to get his cue for
future action And when Mr.. Wilson
returns to Washington he will have
made up his mind between two courses,
whether to call his extra session of the
Sixty-fourth congress on May 5 or on
September Is. This is the presidents e
schedule to date. 1t is authentic.

MAN AND BRIDE TAKEN
FROM BLIND BAGGAGE
Husband and wife, Dressed as a Boy,
haMng Gone STOks,' Engage in
Fight With TTsmps On Train.

Western Newspaper Unien News Service.
Ashtabula.-A romance that only
began at the altar instead of
ending there was revealed Tuesday
when police took William Burn, 81,
and his girl bride, 20, from the blind
baggage of an express train on which
the girl, dressed as a boy, was trying
to get back to Niagara Falls from
Cleveland, where they had gone
broke"
The discovery and denouement was
due to a fight in which Burn engaged
with three tramps on the train in an
effort to protect his bride from them.
Police saw the battle and dragged the
quintet from the train at the New
York Central station here.
The unusual story Of the newleyweds
reveals that they were married three
weeks ago in Niagara Falls, their
home. Burn had $S4, but no Job. They
went to Erie, Pa, where he spent his
money seeking work in vain. Then
the girl pawned her jewelry for money
to go to Cleveland, where Burn again
sought work, but failed. They were
reduced to ten cents and for three days
lived on this and slept nights in the
union depot
Tuesday Burn, desperate, traded his
overcoat for pair of trousers, cut his
brides hair, logged her in the trous.
ers and they boarded a fast train
bound for Buffalo. On the blind bag
gage they fell in with the trio of no.
boes, who discovering one of the pair
to be a girl tried to get her drunk with
whisky, but she refused to drink and
in an effort to protect her, Burn be-
came embroiled in the fight which led
to their discovery.
The tramps we're released by the po
lice, but Burn and the girl are being
held until arrangements can be made
with relatives to send them aid.

Shed Llaht on History

Many new facts of historical i'm
portance have been learned recently
through papyri. Authentic survivals
of the Decian persecution of the
Christians in the third century have
come to light in the libelli, as they
were termed, the certificates issued to
suspected persons after they had sac.
riticed publicly to the pagan gods. For
dynastic history the papyri are of much
Importance In all periods, often giving
new information on points of chronol-
ogy and nomenclature. Any history
of the Ptolemies must necessarily be
full of references to the papyrus eyi-
dence, and for the Caesars, too, it is
often valuable, not only on account of
the information afforded, but for the
way one is brought into touch with
events.

WILMELMINA TO PRIZE COURT
British Government Announces Amer.
lean Vessel Bound for Germany
With Food Cargo Must Await De.
eision Of Tribunal.

London, Feb. 22.-The cargo of the
American steamer Wilhelmina will be
held by the British government pend
ing a decision of the prize court.
And British merchant vessels will
continue to use the American flag, or
any other flag, whenever they think 1t
necessary to do so to escape destruc-
tion by the Germans
If this results in destruction Of an
American vessel by a German sub
marine, the United States government
must look to Germany-not to Eng
land-for redress.
This announcement was made on
Friday by Sir Edward Grey, foreign
secretary.
In a memorandum relating to the
controversy between Great Britain
and the United States over foodstuffs
1t is made clear that Great Britain
intends to declare all foodstuffs for
Germany contraband.
The foreign Office transmitted to
Ambassador Page its reply to the
American protest against a general
use by British merchant vessels Of
the American flag.
The note admits that the Cunarder
Lusitania on her most recent voyage
from New York to Liverpool raised
the American flag, but only ITO save
the lives of noncombatants, crew and
passengers"
1t denies that it is the intention
of the British government to advise
British merchant vessels to use for
eign flags, but makes it clear that the
use of foreign flags will be permitted.
The note defending the practice cites
the fact that the United States used
the British flag for a like purpose
during the Civil war.
Two ships were blown up in the
Germans war zone, one of them a
neutral vessel.
The Norwegian tank steamer Bel
ridge arrived in Walmer with the fore
part of her hull full of water. She
either struck a mine or was torpedoed
in the west part of the English chan.
mel. Eighteen men with the pilot
took to the boats. Nothing has been
heard from them.
The French steamer Dinorah was
torpedoed without warning by a Ger.
man submarine believed to be the
U-16, few miles from the French
port of Dieppe. The torpedo failed
to sink the Dinorah, but stove in a
plate below the water line. The
steamer was towed into Dieppe. A
fleet of French destroyers was dis
patched from Cherbourg in search oI
the submarine
After the torpedoing of the Dinorat
1t was announced by the admiralty
that sea traffic between England and
the continent would be discontinued
Immediately. Sailing of passenger
boats were cancelled, although mail
service continued.

NATURES WORK WELL DONE
Trouble With Mankind Is That the
Brain Capacity Is Not suffi-
clently Cultivated.

A scientific gentleman has reminded
the country once more that judging
from the size of skulls dug up out Of
the misty past, man has no more brain
capacity now that he had 125, 900 years
ago. There has long been lively sus-
picion that nobody in the twentieth
century has anything on Socrates or
Plato or Aristotle, and we are quite
ready to believe that there were cave
men with stone axes more than one
hundred thousand years ago, who had
the possibilities of being Aristotles or
Edisons.
Discouraging? Not at all. The race
seems to have enough brain capacity
In general to get on nicely. The only
trouble is in getting it cultivated.
twenty-five hundred years ago lit
tie people on favored spot in south
ern Europe had succeeded in building
up wondrous civilization. But there
was whole world of barbarians who
weren't educated UP to it. They had
the brains but not the civilized back
ground. They had a good physical in
heritance, but not social inheritance.
1t has taken most of the time since
the age of Aristotle to develop the
right surroundings and the general in.
herited stock of ideas on a large
enough scale to bring a considerable
share of the millions of people of Eu-
rope to the gateway of civilization. A
good many millions are still far re-
moved from the door.
Nature generally does pretty well.
1t is not nature that is lacking. Happily
that is commodity that can be manu-
factured in wholesale lots if communi-
ties set themselves with energy to the
job.-Kansas City Star.

WASHINGTON CLAIMS GERMAN
ORDER VIOLATES TREATY.
Wilson and Cabinet Hold Important
Conference to Consider Answer
to Germany.

Washington, Feb. 22.-In a note
drafted by the cabinet at a momentous
meeting at the White House on Friday,
President Wilson will tell Germany
that her war zone" decree is in viola
tiOn of treaty stipulations entered into
with the United States, which guar
antee to the United States noninter-
ference with its sea commerce when
Germany is at war, and which grant
the same privileges to Germany when
the United States Is a belligerent.
The treaties specifically set forth
that If either nation is at war the neu-
trail nations commerce and inter-
course with any nation at war with
the other party to the treaty shall
not be interrupted" and ION the con-
trary" "the vessels of the
neutral party may navigate to and
from the ports and on the coasts OF
the belligerent parties"
The first treaty, to which the at
tention of Germany will be drawn, is
that made under the direction Of
Frederick the Great, and signed by
his representative and by Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams.
The second treaty is that signed by
John Quincy Adams and the repre-
sentatives of the king of Prussia.
Both these treaties expired by their
own limitation, the first in 1896, the
second in 1910. But the provisions
which guarantee immunity to Ameri-
can ships and American citizens, and
which the government authorities in
sist apply in the present instance
were continued by the treaty Of 1928.

considered his prices low and she ar.

That card system worked we'll 1t
had a good moral effect upon the men.
They didn't dawdle or waste time.
They didn't waste materia' either.
This resulted in a saving, small It is
true, but important nevertheless. The
jeweler became more careful. He
was more earnest and painstaking in
everything that he did. He became
a better business man. AS a result
he was able at the end of a year to
pay of nearly all of the $4,000 which
he owed to the wholesale houses.
Today he is out of debt, a free man
and better merchant than he ever
was before.
The grocer who engaged Miss
Greenlaw had some surprising things
disclosed to him. She figured the vari-
GUS items Of his business from a
strictly bookkeeping standpoint For
example, she showed how it cost him
about eight cents per unit to deliver
his goods. Where the delivery
amounted to % cents gross for the
goods, there was no profit to the gro
Ger. The cost of delivery wiped out
what ha fhouobk uao nroR% Che ~
ganized a neighborhood store delivery
system by which three retail dealers
used the same delivery equipment.
This reduced the expense of delivery
about one-third and made the grocer
prosperous; before he simply had
made a living. In a millinery estab-
lishment her card system brought
about reorganization of the working
force and resulted in better work and
the stoppage of a variety of leaks.
Today Miss Greenlaw has her own
office and several assistants. These
assistants are trained to work along
the lines she laid down. She keeps
the books of about twenty retailers.
She is making more than twice as
much money as she received when
she was bookkeeper for the food
products company, and she has the
great satisfaction of knowing that
she is doing a very good and helpful
work. She says that when you come
to think that the great volume of
business in this country is not done
by the trusts but by the small manu-.
facturer and small merchant, it is
surprising that they have managed to
exist in view of the lax methods that
have prevailed in regard to their
bookkeeping. Most of them are, all
wrong in the way they figure their
finances. They estimate that they
