invented system or shorthand known as the Byrne Simplifed. This system possessed such won- derful ed.ySant:.a,.geess. es.. s... t.hatt -seyen large editions of the book have been printed and there are now over 30, ,000 writers of this fam ous system. The system was controlled in this section by the Tyler Commercial College and 1t did much toward making it the largest business training school in America. Recently Prof. Byrne applied the princip- les of this Shorthand system to the typewriter useing the reg ular typewriter that is found in the ordinary business office, use the same type but printing the characters in plain type instead of using crooked markes made with the pencil. This system is called Stenotypewriting. The Byrne Simplified Shorthond was mastered in halt the time re- quired of other systems, and Stenotypewriting is mastered in almost a month less time than the Byrne Shorthand. It can be written at a higher rate of speed than Shorthand, can be read like. print because 1t is print and 1t is so simple that child can learn 1t, so thorough and com plete that it will record anything in the English language. It is absolutely iegible; there is no guess work in the reading. It is capable of taking the most rapid speakers; it is truly the stenographic marvel of the age. It not only means a saving of much time and expense to those who desire to become efficient stenographers, but it means bet ter stenographic service for the business office. The stenogiap- her does not have to fool with tablet, pencile or crooked marks but simply take the dictation on any ordinary typewriter and when the dictation is finished he begins transcribing on the same machine without moving the hands from the key board except to change the paper
 The Tyler Commercial College will control the teaching of Ste notypewriting in this section as it has the Byrne Simplifed Shorthand. Young people des- ring to make expert office as- sistants or to prepare to go into business for themselves, should write for catalogue of the Tyler Commercial College. read of the advantages they offer to energ- etic young people who desire to become thoroughly qualified as a business man, bookkeeper, sten- ographer, operator or secretary. Their course of Business Ad- ministration and Finance en- braces twelve heavy subjects calculated to prepare young men and women for the heavier duties of the more eXacting business offices. Their course in Cotton Grading department is one of the most practical depart ment any southern mercial training school could install. for we have cotton growing coun- try and cotton is the base of all commercialism. Those who can enter at any early date will be prepared for a good position during the busy fall season. Keep abreast with the times and get the best as quick as you can.

SUNDAY YIELDS

Within twenty-four hours after the
evangelist's Neutrality-suspicious. ulti-

Lake, Mimi, that no Paterson church

late Vice President of the United

But lately local pastors have begun TO
wonder what the future had IN store
for their parishes financially, OUTSIDE
of bankruptcy. The expenses OF the
campaign preparations have been large
and the absence Of the Easter collec-
tions became a serious menace. Mhen
several pastors hinted they would hold

that he would not come here at All.

WAIT! He SEES SNOW!
Weather Man Talks About
Cold and So On.

Not much like spring is the weather
promised for this and surrounding sec
tions of the country for the next forty
eight hours, and in fact most of the
country east of the Rockies is threat
ened with cold wave. high winds,
snow and all sorts of disagreeable
things in the weather line.
New York City, it is predicted, will
have fair weather to-day, followed by
snow at night or tomorrow. New Eng
land is also in line for considerable
coolness, while in the South, even as
far as Florida, there are possibilities
OF snow falling, and storm warnings
are ordered along the Texas and Gulf
and part Of the South Atlantic coasts.
There is a ray of hope, however, in the
knowledge that the cold wave is not
likely to be OF long duration.

KAISER HOLDS
WAR COUNCIL
Won der Goltz Aids in De-
signing Campaign to Off
set PrZemVSl'S Fall.

London, March 30.--Germany's next
move in the military field-for some
stroke, either in the East or the West,
is expected before the Allies attempt
their spring advances at present the
chief subject of speculation and con-
lecture. According to reports reaching
here from Petrogrtd, the German En-
peror is now a. Berlin holding a war
council with Field Marshal Won der
Goltz, the German military commander
of Constantinople, and other leaders,
am is planning a new campaign to
Offset the fall of Przemysl and meet
the situation in the Dardanelles.
The correspondents of English news
papers in their dispatches refer to per-
sistent rumors in circulation in Hol-
land of a change in the German front
in Belgium, which is alleged to have
been made necessary by the fall OF
Przemysl and by the pressure OF the
Allies along the existing extended
front.
According to these rumors, the line
on the User is TO oe abandoned in
favor Of less extended line slightly
west of Brussels. II is reported that
large bodies of cavalry already are be-
ing withdrawn from the User.
There has been nothing o. an out
standing nature in either theatre of the
land operations since the surrender Of
the Austrian fortress, sniping, mining
and bomb throwing predominating
along the western front, while fighting,
fierce but indecisive, RACES in the Car
pa lians. The Austrian official report,
says the most desperate engagement is
south and east Of Lupkow, but claims
-uccess.
The British Cabinet met to-day. and
there i every reason to believe that
it considered the lauor question and
the stamping out OF the evil, which is
now one of the greatest problems of
the nation. There is still much talk
of prohibition, but il is not generally
believed that this course will be adopt
ed, although it is conceded that some
step Of drastic md universal char
acter will soon be taken.

AMERICAN NOTE
SENT TO LONDON
Ambassador Page Will
Hand Ii to Foreign
Office Thursday.
tBy Cable 10 The Tribuns,l

London, March 30.-The American
note protesting against Great Britain 5
Order in Council creating a blockade
of Germany is hourly expected here. 1t
will probably take week or more for
England to frame a reply, which, 1t IS
expected, will not deviate from the
reasons already given for adopting the
blockade measures.
England has not found it necessary
to seize any American vessels bound
for Germany or for neutral ports with
cargoes consigned to Germany. Many
ships have been stopped, but IN each
case reasons for holding them have
been found under regulations other
than those of the Order in Council,
usually on the ground that their car
goes consisted of foodstutfs, when,
under German DEGREES, would be selZed
by the German government.
Such seizures were JUSTIFIED, II IS
believed here, on the presumption that
thew were intended for German mill
tary use and therefore contraband.
II is reported, however, that an Amer
can vessel laden with cotton is now at
sea This ship may be the first one
stopped under the Order IN Counci,'
Cotton is distinctly non-contraband'
and stoprage on any other grounds Is
impossible.

The Austrians have improved their

Russian forces from Przemysi are al
