A cHlLo's PARTY

A charming child's party recently
displayed souvenirs that the hostess
had herself made. This little lady,
who was scarcely twelve years old,
was gifted with her pencil and had
made on various occasions a profile
drawing OF each little friend. These
on the important day were shown
cut out in black paper and mounted
on white cardboard after the manner
OF silhouettes, The delight of the
little guests can be imagined, for ev-
erybody wants a picture OF herself
1t is always gracious, when It can
be afforded, to give some little tribes
at child's party, for small hearts
always expect gifts, But as the true
spirit of giving is self denial, the lit
tie mistress Of the day should con
tribute some Of her pocket money to
ward them or else be shown that th'
work of her own hands provides O
far more elegant gift than anythinl
! which can be bought.

Russians Regard War
As A Sort Of GOdsend
People More Prosperous Than at
Any Previous Period In History
Of the Country

Petrograd, April 12.--The opinion
was expressed today by Pierre l..
Bark, Russian minister OF finance,
that economically considered the war
has been a blessing to the people Of
this country. Discussing the financial
and social aspects of the conflict in
an interview with the Associated
Press, Mr.. Bark said:
Notwithstanding the depressing
and paralyzing effect Of the war, the
Russian peasant class is more pros.
porous than at any previous time in
the history OF the country. II is not
difficult TO account for this unusual
prosperity. BY virtue Of the allow
ance made by the government to the
families OF soldiers, which exceeds
the earning power of the soldiers the
total income of these families is
greater than in times of peace. Thus
the people are beginning to regard
the war as peculiar sort of godsend
whlch Is putting money into tneir
pockets"
"What about vodka?" was asked Of
the minister.
at is the prohibition OF the sale
OF vodka whi,h Is primarily RESPONSE
BILE for the ameliorated condition Of
the peasant" he responded. 1.-THE
sieve through which all the available
earnings formerly disappeared has
not been closed and the money is
spent for present necessities or saw
ed for future wants.
at is not necessary to invent the
cries to explain why the Russian
people should be more prosperous for
this.

Coast Cities Oppose
Reduction In Rates
Railroads Back Haul Proposal A.
\ tackled at Hearing In
1 Washington

Washington, April 12.-That trans
continental railroads propose to meet
competition via the Panama canal by
making rates that will divert freight
TO points Just east OF Pacific coast
terminals for distribution was made
clear today in hearings before Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Clarl,
on the adjustment Of rates in SO
called back haul territory.
Charles Donnelly, representing the
Great Northern and other transcon.
tinental roads with terminals at
north Pacific coast points, served no.
tice of the commission of the carriers
purpose.
"If the construction of the Panama
canal" he said, emphatically, "has
lowered rates to coast points to a
degree that will make our Pacific
coast terminals useless machinery, so
far as transcontlnental traffic is con-
cerned we have the right to make
rates that will send the freight to an
interstate point for distribution II
rates to Seattle prevent us from COM
peting in the transcontinental trade
we have right to make rate that
will send that freight to Spokane for
distribution in that competitive terri
tory. And we propose to support
that right before any court or COM
mission"
Mr.. Donnelly supported the rail-
roads proposal to cut the rates in back
haul territory by reducing the ter
minal rate which forms part Of the
back haul charge. representatives

Commander Of German Radsr Plans
to Go to Sea When Ship
ls Repaired ffss3x

Newport News, Va, April ~. The
German merchant raider Kron Prinz
Wilhelm will not be permitted to go
into drydock at the shipyard here UNI
til Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder
her commander, makes formal re-
quest for time to complete such re
pairs as he deems necessary to make
his vessel seaworthy. Captain Thier-
fielder told Collector Hamilton to-
night he could not do so before to-
morrow.
Experts from Newport News who
examined the ship today found her
leaking slightly and her boilers in
bad condition. Unofilcially 1t was
learned that the vessel would require
extensive repairs. That was taken
to indicate the ship eventually may
be forced to intern.
Captain Thierfelder, however, is
insistent that he must hasten to re.
pair his ship and return to his work
as merchant raider. He discharg-
ed today officers and men of the Brit
ish ships lamar and Coleby whom he
brought here and they were transfer
