Celebrated His Birthday

Is 13 an unlucky number Our good
natured fellow townsman, Elan Sloat
says "No" or at least January 18th is
not an unlucky day, for on the 18th of
January seventy three years ago Mr..
Sloat was born, and strange to say
every since that day the thirteenth of
January has been his birthday. But
better still on January 18th, 1915, which
as it happens was this week Wednesday
it was arranged that the Ladies Aid of
the Mechanic street Church OF Christ
would hold its weekly meeting at Mr..
Sloat's home. Twenty seven persons
were present, mostly ladies, and all
were entertained Loyalty by their host
and report one Of the finest times of
their lives. The company gathered at
ten o'clock a. m. remaining until four
p. m. being treated to q full grown din
ner, comprised of chicken, scalloped
potatoes and all other articles necessary
to make IL n long remembered feast.
One of tn Q features of the day was a
post card shower for Mr.. Sloat, he re-
ceiving over forty cards from well wish
ing friends.
We hope he may enjoy many more
birthdays such as the one.just passed
and there are many others who are
wishing the same, especially those who
have an extraordinary liking for chick

mats Interested.

WASHINGTON. Feb. =. - Plans
which President Wilson may have
looking TO the eventual termination of
the European war were the subject of
much speculation among foreign diplo-
mats mere yesterday IA Il resudt of the
arrival in London of Cot. r.. NJ House,
intimate friend Of the president on a
tour of the capitals of Europe. At the
White House it was stated that Mr..
House was not authorized to carry ON
any negotiations for peace while in
Europe, through the President uatu-
rally expected TO learn much of inter.
est about the diplomatic situation
there when the colonel returns in the
spring.
1t was said authoritativclv that Mr..
House had planned to 90 to Europe of
his own initiative, but that the Pres
idrnt, placing much confidence in his
friend. asked him to do what he could
toward co-ordinatinG the various meas
urcs of relief undertaken by Americans
abroad. Only Incidentally does the
mission Of Col. House bear possibility
of making peace, as the President. it is
known, does not intend to renew his
original tender Of good Offices for me
diation until there is an acceptance or
strong indication to that effect by one
or more of the belligerents.
Many diplomats in Washington how
ever, were inclined to believe that the

mental eventually in developing uno

ditions under which the belligerents
would make peace. He is on intimate

the American ambassadors in Europ'
were his close associates before theI
