WALSH FAVORS A BAN
ON SUPPLIES T0EUROPE
Senator Thinks Congress Should
Have Given President Right
to Place Embargo.

Il regret extremely that Congress
adjourned without giving the Presi-
dent the power to place an embargo
upon exports from this country" said
Senator Walsh of Montana today, COM
menting upon the situation which has
arisen due to the German proclama-
ton of q war zone about England and
to England's recent proclamation Of a
blockade of all German ports.
The power to place an embargo
upon munitions of war and upon food
stuffs shipped from the United States
would have been strong weapon IN
.he hands of the President to help In
bringing the belligerent powers to
-eaIization that they must regard the
lights of the neutral nations he con-
,inued.
Against Congress Session.
Senator Walsh was asked if he thought
he situation might become so bad that
congress would be recalled.
There is strong disinclination to
ave Congress called into session at
resent" replied Senator Walsh. but 1t
fppears to me that conditions due to
he war in Europe are growing worse
the future. i expect that all Of the neu-
trail nations of the world will join with
the United States In a protest against
the recent order issued by Great Britain
regarding neutral shipping to German
ports. but more particularly to that por-
ton of the order which relates to the
shipping from a neutral port to neu-
trail nation which is a near neighbor
of Germany.
Belligerents Disregard Protests.
But the belligerents have disre-
garded protests of the neutrals right
from the start, and have grown more
and more Indifferent to such protests.
do not look to see the protests which
will be filed given much more attention
than those which have been made in
the past.
The feeling in this country is
strongly against getting into the war.
But hope that strong sentiment will
develop in this country to insist that
the rights of neutrals be observed"

DAILY SHORT STORY
MR.. HUSH

You know about needed rubbers. aunt
Vera? like to eat rubbers."
Vera read on without making any COM
ment
Il am drawing you a picture. Aunt
Vera, q picture OF Mr.. Hush. That's
what / call him because every time ]
spoke about the people next door muvver
just said hush And he IL the incest
man-nicer than any one in the world
but you. Aunt Vera. That's why l am
drawing you a picture Of him. He's just
like any other man. so I'll have TO make
him like the picture I did OF father for
you. Except Mr.. Hush hasn't any prick
ly brush on his lip that bites you when
he kisses you like father. He kissed me
today when / was there and gave me
two cookies-took me way down stairs
to the cook and asked her for them and
l said / wanted two SO i could take home
one for my auntie. and he looked SO
funny and said a long word that / don't
know what II means and asked me was
sure that 1t was Auntie Vera and not
some other auntie, and then he kissed
me and let me go. and I asked him for
two kisses SO I could bring one with the
cookie to Aunt Vera, and he said that
you wouldn't take the kiss. So that's
why l haven't got the kiss. but, Aunt
forgot and ate the cookie. but I'll get
YOU another some day. I am sorry. Here
is the picture. II isn't very good. but
that 'raser isn't SO nice as the one / ate.
Aunt Vera, do You think I am a good
drawer? What's the matter? Don't You
like the picture?"
Vera was leaning back in the chair. the
book closed and her eyes lowered. For
minute she didn't know whether to
laugh or to cry. but with a bound the
incorrigible Peggy was in her lap with
the picture she had drawn.
Vera collected herself and looked
severe.
Peggy Jones. I thought your moth
er said you never went to see the
people in the house next door. Does
nurse take you? How do you get in ?"
'Oh. no. Aunt Vera, nurse doesn't
take me. She doesn't know / go. l
just crawl through under the wall at
the back Of the garden. You're too
big to get through that way. You'd
have to go the front way. but mother
wouldn't let you, SO you'd better be
careful You see. / knew we weren't
wouldn't have only cause the ladder
happened to be against the wall.
Guess I'll tell you about the ladder.
Muvver doesn't know cause it hap
pened when she was down town and
nurse said not to tell her cause she'd
'ketch it II she knew.
You see. I was out in the garden at
our house and-and-and the painter
man he left a ladder leaning against
the back fence and - and and 1
thought I'd climb up and see what
was at the top of the ladder and
when i got up as high as the top of
the fence 1 could see the garden next
door and it was SO nice leaned over
a little and climbed another climb
and then 1t was dreadful funny. The
ladder turned right over like teeter-
tawter and dumped me in the bushes
in the next garden. But IL didn't hurt
me-just tore my dress, that was all.
We'll. that's how l got over there

BY JANE OSBORN.

OopSnSnt, islsl
There had been but one reason for
Vera Maidstone's hesitation in accepting
her sisters invitation to come and take
care of the ''incorrigible Peggy" while
she and her husband went to the exposi-
ton
"Of course, / know you have not want
ed to visit Us since your break with
Jimmy next door" her sister had writ
ten. You probably feel that he would
think you were putting yourself In q DO
sition to make up. But three years has
made a big difference. I know you have
completely forgotten him and he is quite
an old bachelor, and I am sure he won't
be at home much of the time. The house
Is always dark, with just the housekeep-
er to keep it open for him and. OF course.
for your sake We have never had any
thing to do with them since you broke
your engagement We have even told
the maids not to talk to his housekeeper
or gardener and. dear knows. the garden
wall is 50 high that we can never see
them. So please do come. Little Peggy
is not safe TO be left alone with the
nurse. She is not actually bad, but she
Is an inquisitive child and Is just at
the age where she wants to eat every
thing. She ate q whole tube Of tooth
paste yesterday-said she thought 1t was
the Kind OF cold cream that was good
TO eat can't leave her alone. and
unless you do come I'll have to give up
the trip to the exposition entirely"
So Vera had packed her trunks and
gone to take care Of Peggy. 1t was
hard. very hard, for her to revisit the
scenes of her acquaintance with James
Brown, and as she actually arrived on
the scene she realized that she had not
forgotten the episode so completely as
she had hoped. The breaking Of the en-
Sagement had been over such a trivial
anair. But. of course. any reconciliation
was out OF the question. Almost on the
threshold Of her sisters house she had
desire TO turn and go home. To have
TO spend month in the very house
where she had spent SO many happy
hours with him. to be. perhaps. sepa-
rated from him only by the thick walls
OF the old house. 1t seemed almost too
much TO attempt, but rather than spoil
her sisters vacation she did not waver.
II was week after her sisters de-
parture and Vera had had little time for
reverie. For she had discovered that the
care OF the charming child Peggy was
enough to keep any grown woman's mind
occupied during waking hours.
She was sitting in the library of the
old city house. reading by the subdued
light Of the afternoon sun shaded by the
SOFT SILK hangings at the windows. III
was nearly time to put Peggy to bed,
but Vera was putting OF this hour a.
late as possible. 1t was only during the
long evenings after Peggy was tucked
into bed that she was haunted with memo
r1es OF the last time she had visited the
house.
Lend me a 'raser. Aunt Vera - Peggy
was sitting on the floor at her aunt's
feet leaning over her pad with great in
tentness. her short golden curls shading
her eyes as she worked.
Vera tossed rubber-topped pencil
down to the child
"Muvver doesn't let me have 'rasers
any more" Peggy said smiling. That's
cause l ate a needed rubber one day.
