A DEADLOCKED LEGISLATURE
General Assembly of Illinois Fails to Elect
Speaker-Wet and Dry Issue is Bone
of Contention

Better deadlocked legislature than one
doing business under the dictation Of the
liquor interests, is the sentiment of at
least one-half the members of the general
assembly of Illinois (not counting con-
tested vote), gathered nearly four weeks
ago at Springfield, but not yet organized
because Of the failure to elect a speaker.
The wet and dry issue is the bone of con-
tention in the fight for supremacy, al
though there are other matters in the
background, Of legislation and factional
fights for party control.
Over thirty-one ballots for the speaker
ship have to date been taken.
Vets and Drys in Both Parties
There are seventy Democrats seventy
eight Republicans, two Progressives, two
Socialists, and one contested seat in the
House. 1t takes at least seventy seven
votes to organize the House or to pass
legislation.
There are vets and drys in both major
parties

Cannot Measure Our Steps

''None of these great powers will per-
NIT citizens Of an enemy to rob them by
transfer Of ships they are entitled to cap
ture on the high seas to a neutral flag, I"
he insisted.
"We cannot measure the number Of our
steps One unneutral step will lead to
further unneutral steps by others until we
are in the thing.
''I am not arguing against buying a
ship; but buying an international quarrel
with every ship. If you precipitate this
country into an international controversy,
when Europe may feel that we have taken
sides we will rend ourselves. The only
safe course is to keep out Of such con-
troyersies. +"

Means Taking Sides

After analyzing international law, Sen
ator Root continued:
'What is the meaning, sir, of the viola
ton of neutrality? 1t means taking sides
in the controversy. 1t means helping one
belligerent against another. It means
that we abandon the attempt to be neutral
and we take steps in the great conflict;
and we cannot stop. One unneutral act
by us will lead to acts by others that will
compel further acts by us, more acts by
others, and more by us and more by them,

krchangel, City Of Ice.

Archangel, the Oldest port Of the
Russian empire, will awaken in a few
weeks more to vital war importance,
according to a statement of the Ma
tional Geographic society. When the
arctic ice clears from the White sea
Russia will be able to communicate
with her allies through a free western
port and to receive much needed wal
supplies and other manufactures over
a route thousands of miles shorter
than that via Vladivostok. A~rchangel
Is situated at the head of the Dvina
delta, as far north as the northern.
most shores Of Hudson Bay. 1t is the
largest and most important city that
is near the arctic circle.
The harbor Of Archangel is optimis.
tically said to be open from May to
October. However, it is entirely free
from ice during the months of July
and August, although in the average
year it is free for navigating purposes
for a period some weeks longer. The
city lies on the Dvina river, &c miles
from the White sea. It is 74O miles
northeast of st. Petersburg, and is
connected with the distributing cen.
tiers Of the interior by railway and
canal. :

Apple and Cranberry Jelly.

Cut two large tart apples in small

berries. Pour on water, just enough
to show through the fruit, but not
enough to cover. Cook until tender and
strain through a colander. Measure
the juice and allow as many cupfuls of
sugar as you have juice. Cook fifteen
or twenty minutes. This will make a
firm jelly without the sharp taste that
so many object to in cranberries.

London, England.-England lost an
other of her seeond-line ~battleships.
The Formidable, sister ship to the
Bulwark, which was destroyed on
Thanksgiving Gay, was blown up in
the English channel,
1t is feared that about 200 members
of the crew Of 1850 have been lost. The
admiralty says that II survivors are
known to have been picked up. Hope
is held out that at least a few others
may have been saved. In a supple
mental announcement the admiralty
stated that the II survivors known to
have been rescued were picked up by
a British light cruiser.
While the official announcement
says that it is not yet known whether
the disaster was due to a submarine
or a mine. it is generally believed
that the German submarines again
have scored. The German under-seas
craft have been very active in the
channel and along the Belgian coast
for the last month and it has required
the utmost precaution on the part of
the British naval commanders to keep
their vessels out OF danger,

self is minimized in official circles, in
asmuch as she was not considered Of
the first-line strength, the loss of the
trained officers and men who manned
her is most serious.
Just what other warships were in
company with the Formidable when
she was destroyed is not permitted to
become known. That they made for
safety Immediately, abandoning the
Formidable to her fate, in accordance
with the admiralty rules, is certain,
and to this is due the heavy casualty
list. The water of the channel is so
cold at present that the sailors had
practically no chance for life.
The official announcement of the
admiralty was as follows: THE bat
tleship Formidable was sunk in the
channel. 1t is uncertain whether by
a mine or submarine. Seventy-one III
vivors have been picked up, and it is
possible that there may be others not
yet reported"
The Formidable cost a little more
than 5000, 600 to construct. She was
considered one Of the better, class of
the 1S-knot battleships and had been
used for coast guard duty and to as
sist in the fighting along the Belgian
