Ship Purchase FIGHT
Transferred to House
The White House Rejects a
Compromise Measure and
the House Leaders Begin
Work o ma Substitute Bill.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The ship pur-
chase bill struggle shifted today from
the senate to the house. In the SEN
ate. the measure, blocked by Republic
can opposition, was displaced as un-
finished business and a cloture rule.
designed to terminate forcibly the fill
buster was taken up.
The administration forces began
work on the compromise house bill,
but house leaders are far from conf
dent it viii unite the divided senate
Democrats or win Republican support.
A cloture rule presented in the SEN
ate met the same Republican filibus-
ter that blocked the ship bill. A con-
ference of senate Democrats is called
for tomorrow to consider the advis-
ability Of continuing the fight for the
cloture proposal or abandoning it and
return to the direct contest over the
shipping bill.
The new bill in the house developed
after Postmaster General Burleson for
the administration went to the capito,,
and definitely rejected the compromise
measure advanced by Representative
Kitchin. Kitchin's proposal contem-
plated making the ship bill q tempo
rary emergency measure and would
have taken the government out of
the shipping business two years after
the close Of the European war.
The administration counter proposal
as 1t was being framed tonight, would
organize a shipping board with an ap-
preparation of forty million dollars to
engage in shipping for a period end
ing two years after the wars termtna-
ton. Then the ships would be turned
over to the secretary of the navy to
be leased or operated in the merchant
service in his discretion.
The plan to place the government
permanently in the shipping business
was the point administration Insisted
upon. It is this provision against which
the senate Republican flibuster is
chiefly aimed. House leaders tonight
said the provision would defeat the
measure in the senate.

London, Feo. 12--Attention in the
European conflict is conferred in East
Prussia, where the German army, I'M
der the personal observation, II not
the command OF Emperor william, has
compelled the Russians to evacuate
their positions east of the Mazurian
Lakes and retire to their own country.
The Russians refer this as STRAIT
egical retirement but the German off,
cial communication intimates the ap-
pearance in this district of a strong
new German force surprised the Rus
slams and that the Germans captured
twenty thousand prisoners, twenty
cannon and thirty machine guns, In adj
dition to quantities Of war material.
IL the German statement is true the
Russian reverse apparently is almost
as serious as that which the Musco-
vitef forces suffered at the same piacs
early In the war
The army which the Germans flung
suddenly in East Persia is believed to
have numbered two hundred thousand
men. It also isthought to heve been
men. It also is thought to have been
lighting on the Bzura and western
fronts and OF units Of new arm
LAdAiCu III SCItE1l GGkItlaH.
The Germans have resumed the Of
fensive in Russian Poland on the right
bank of the lower Vistula and have
occupied the town of Sierpec, North
west OF Flock. Thus the chief battle
ground in the east has been trans
ferred from the lines west and south
west of Warsaw to the north
Battles in the Carpathians continue
but neither side gives much informa-
ton concerning the fighting. The lull
continues in the west
A British eye witness says the
British artillery arm has been greatly
strengthened and claims 1t has gained
the ascendency over the Germans.
There have been many reports of the
new and better guns being constructed
by the British and these apparently
are now in service.
Airmen have been extremely active
in the west. Thirty British fiiers to-
day delivered attacks on German posi-
tions in Belgium, while the German
aviators have dropped hundreds of
bonn os on Verdun. Both sides seem to
have adopted ideas that an attack by
large number OF aeroplanes is the
only way to make them effective.

Borrowing on Insurance.

1t wouldn't look nice for a man to
give his wife and children doughballs
when the doctor had prescribed qui

father might resell the drug to the
chemist. Seem like case Of false pre-
tense, wouldn't 1t?
have talked to insurance men who
say that borrowing money on life
policy is akin to the doughball opera
ton. Recently published figures, how
ever. show that nearly $600,000,000 is
now borrowed in that way. 1t is also
said that nine out of every ten dollars
81 borrowed is never repaid-this alb

To check the tendency to borrow,
the companies have advanced interest
rates to six per cent, but heretofore
agents have made the ability to borrow

of insurance. l suppose it would be a
happier situation all around If putting
a mortgage on the insurance you take

made as obnoxious as robbing your

Superstitious Royalty.

The Hanoverian kings were not alto
gether free from superstition. But in
their day it was at the courts of GER
tain European monarchs, and notably
the court of France, that superstitious
beliefs and practices prevailed. AS
late as the eve of the French revolu.
ton King Louis XVI and his queen, the
unfortunate Marie Antoinette, dallied
with the old outworn faith in sorcery,
astrology and alchemy; as is evil
denced, for example, by the favor en-
joyed by the celebrated charletans
Mesmer and Cagliostro. More inter
esting than either of these, though not
nearly so well known today, was an
impostor who flourished a few years
earlier, the so-called Count de st. Ger.
main, favorite of Louis XIV and Ma
dame de Pcmpadour, and famed
through all Paris as the one man In
history who had really discovered the
elixir of life.

MATTER OF CASTE FEELING
Real Reason for Custom of Indians,
and Asatics Travelling Always
in Single File.

When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast, but followed one an
other in single file. 1t has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the lack Of roads, which COM
PEELED them to make their way through
woods by paths.
If this were the real reason for the
practice, then we should expect to find
that the tribes who lived in open coun-
tries Travelled in company, as do
whites.
The true reason for journeying, as.
the Indians did, in single file, seems to-
be feeling of caste. This feeling was.
at the bottom of other customs Of the
Indians.
This popularity is Asiatic How it
has warped and disfigured Hindu life
is well known. Home is scarcely posi-.
BILE where 1t prevails. To the women
and children domestic life is bondage.
The women of a Chinese household
are seldom seen on the street. The
children, when accompanying their
father, follow him at a respectful dis
lance in single file, and in the order
of their ages.

Was Very Much In.

The collector was after a dead beat
and there were rumors that he was in
more serious trouble even than owing
debts. The collector was told to get
after him at once and run him down
before anybody else got hold Of him.
So he chose time Of day when the
d. b. would be most likely to be at
home and went to his house and rang
the bell. The mans wife came to the
door. Your husband is in?" he said,
sternly-he made a statement rather
than a question of it. She looked scared
and answered: yves, sir" Il want
to see him at once" he went on, very
severely. why, you can't see him"
she answered. Hes in, and yet l can't
see him? I'd like to know why
can't" Because he's In for six
months" she sobbed, and shut the door

Wash Channels and Doeskin Gloves.

Wash Chamois and Doeskin Gloves.
The secret of success in washing
chamois and doeskin gloves lies in
using lukewarm or cool water-better
cool than even few degrees too
warm.
That, at least, is one of the secrets;
the other is to use soapy water. The
soapier the water, providing it is Of
the right temperature, the silkier and
softer the gloves will be. They should
first be freed from all dirt in a soap
bath, and then put through another
soapy bath in order that they may be
rinsed from the dirt set free. They
should then be pressed and squeezed
in a thick towel until they are free
from soap and water as nearly as pos
sible. Then they are ready to be
hung to dry in a cool, dry place. New
er hang them near a fire, and never
hang them in the sunshine If you
would have them soft and pliable af-
ter laundering.

THE LAST WORD.

The last word in quarrel means VIC
tory. In a spelling match it means re-
lief. Other last words have their mean
ings, sentimental or otherwise, but when
1t comes to saying last words to friends
whom YOU love and it means separation,
then it is wise to simply overlook the
goodbyes, and let the next to the last
word suffice.
We are laying down the responsibility
OF the publication OF the True Northerner
with feeling of regret. For seven
years it's welfare has been Identical with
ours and for the past two years We nave
directed its destiny to the best OF our
ability. The associations connected
with it have been most pleasant and the
words of regret that have been uttered
on the occasion of separation have been
very gratifying to US.
We shall always have tender spot
for the people of this community, ana
we shall feel favored, indeed, il our next
home offers to US the kind friends and
genial surroundings that we are leaving
behind. The name of Paw Paw, which
is so often laughed at by strangers, will
look very good to the wanderers In the
big state of Illinois, where we will cast
our lot for good or ill.
We hope to keep in touch with Paw
Paw through the columns OF the papers
and will always rejoice with the people
here in their good fortune, and regret
with them any hardships that they may
be called upon to bear.
The last word, IN this case as in many
others, is spoken by woman; it is a
farewell from the editor and also the
business manager Of the paper and with
it goes the desire for the future pros
perity of the paper, it's readers and it's
friends.

TO BE EXPENSIVE
SESSION FOR STATE
LEGISLATURE HAS COST NIGH.
GAN FULLY $4,000 AND HAS
DONE NOTHING OF RECORD
EXPENSES PILE UP.
Estimates Are That il Will Cost Half
Million More to Run State for Next
Two Years Than in 1e13-1914.
(By Douglas d. MARTINI

Lansing, Mich.-(SpeciaD-So far
this year the legislature has cost the
people of Michigan about $40 900 and
1t is just getting into action.
The entire $4,000, in other words,
has been spent in greasing the wheels
and oiling up the bearings. Frequent
adjourments, short sessions, and con-
siderable horseplay has been respons-
IDLE for the time which it has taken
the legislature to get into shape for
business this year.
1t is believed that this week will see
the last Of the frequent adjournmnts
which have characterized the session
thus far. Both the Republican and
Democratic state conventions being
scheduled for this week, the legisla-
ture adjourns that its members may be
able to attend. In the case of the
Democrats the adjournment is some
thing in the nature of joke because
there are only eight Democrats in the
entire legislature and the convention
Is held right here in Lansing within
three blocks of the capitol building.
Clerks Richer Than Senators.
Figures obtained from the auditor
generals department covering the ex-
penses of the legislature for the first
month show some interesting facts
During January members of the senate
received in salary total of SO, 200 and
$877.70 for mileage. The employees of
the senate drew more money than the
senators themselves, getting $3,760 in
salaries and 81 Ash for mileage.
In the house the representatives
drew salaries amounting to $4,000,
while their mileage totalled over
$4,000. Their clerks got $3,937 in sal
aries and mileage amounting to $1,135.
No More Mileage.
Senator'S, representatives and clerks
have exhausted their mileage allow
ances, so that there will be no more
claims of this kind during the session.
This will help to keep down the total
Of expenditures from now on.
No Chance for Economy.
Three facts have developed during
the past week which are of import
ance to the state, even IL no important
business has been developed. These
are the dissipation of the belief that
this would be both an economical ses-
sion, a short session and that there
would be few bills presented.

After Sad Experience With the Other
Kind, She Was Going to Marry
a Sinner.

Just when a Louisville woman was
at her wits end after many unsuccess-
full attempts to engage a cook Mandy
applied for the situation and was
promptly hired. Mandy was "coun-

and an unlimited ability along Gull
nary lines, and her mistress soon
found that she had a regular cook at
last.
Unlike many of her kind, Mandy
showed no desire to pry into the az
fairs of her mistress, and was equally
silent about her own. She had been
employed for some time before her
mistress, engaging her in converse
ton, discovered the bitterness ran
king in her dusky cooks soul.

inquired.
"Oh, yes'm," said Mandy. Use a

got the better of her natural reserve
and she blurted out:
