WINTRY NIGHTS WoolNG.

We cannot fight for love as men may do
We should be wood and were not made
to WOO.
To win thy love, lay bashfulness aside;
who fears to ask her hand doth teach
to be deny'd.
The most-to-be-pitied young man Is
he who has no sweetheart when the
dear old wintertime rolls round His
most intimate ,chum plays him false,
when depends upon Linn as COM
panion to accompany him hither and
thither. you will have to excuse me,
my dear fellow" he exclaims, without
tremor of regret in his voice. Its
the night 60 to see my girl. That's
special treat I wouldn't miss"
All of his friends have the same rea-
son to offer. They all would a-wooing
go on wintry evening. The young
man who sits doWn in his hall bed
room wondering if he will 60 out some
where to pass the time away, begins
to envy his friends for the first time.
Each one Of his chums has some sweet
girl looking out of the parlor window
for him, when the clock chimes 1880.
They are in the warm, coy parlors.
fragrant with the odor of pine knots
in the fireplace. A cushioned seat Is
drawn for him, though he generally
prefers the sofa, or tete-a-tete-just
room enough for two. No matter how
the hail patters on the window pane.
or the storm RACES outside, he is SO
happy amid such delightful surround
ings and a congenial companion near
him. They can even find amusement
in talking of the free lance, who was
satisfied with the comradeship of his
own sex, until he found himself de-
serted when the snow commences to
fall.
In despair he rushes to the tele-
phone and calls up every girl he has
the slightest acquaintance with Each
and every maiden has some excuse to
offer as to why she cannot be home
to receive him. There are few who
are frank enough to inform him they
are expecting company, and to sug-
gest that he come around some other
evening. It does not take him long to
understand that if he would a-wooing
go on wintry nights he should have
prepared the way beforehand. The
average girl does not take kindly to
late corners. They are inclined to be
wary, suspecting that his heart is not
involved, but that he may be coming
for good, comfortable place to sit
down.
AS to the girl-how happy could he
be with any girl who was a lively con-
yersationalist, were other fair charm
ers away! But for the benefit OF the
young men who find themselves out
in the cold l would suggest that it's
better late than never. They have
no time to lose in making the &C
quaintance of some nice young girl
who is not already spoken for.
Friendship soon ripens into love
with seeing each other frequently. BY
the time that the bells are ringing
the old year out and the new year in
their wooing will have come to hap
py climax. Instead Of being in a
dreary hall room, they will have furn:
ished coy little fiat and are arrang
ing to bring their bride, thereto. They
can court continuously by their own
fireside.

NEW SENSATION
CONNECTION WITH
ALA. INVESTIGATION
(By Associated Press.)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March ID
Fred Ferguson, who was Alabama state
pension examiner during the last state
administration today testified before a
legislative investigating committee in
session here that at least 100000 had
been paid out in pensions to dead sold
iers during the last few years. AS the
result of an investigation conducted
during his term of office, Mr.. Ferguson
told the committee five hundred and
sixty-seven names had been dropped
from the rolls. Most OF these, he as
serted were names of dead persons, or
had been placed upon the pension lists
by fraudulent methods.
Former Governor Emmett O'Neal,
who was called before the committee
as witness today, created small
sensation by questioning the legality
of the proceedings. He read a careful
" prepared statement which attacked
individual members of the committee
and accused legislative leaders OF
appointing a commission of his polit-
ical enemies to investigate his record
as governor. Members of the com
mittee declined to discuss the former
governors attack at the close of to
days session.

TELEPHONE BOSS
WAN IS WORK FOR
z MILLION PEOPLE
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, March 15.-There are
wo million unemployed persons in the
United States whose yearly earnings
should be at least one billion two hum
dred and fifty million dollars" asserts
Theodore n Vail, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co., in his annual report issued today.
The report declares that these unem-
ployed persons are now living either
at the expense of their own savings,
upon their friends or by public charity.
and adds that what is needed to bring
about their unemployment and return
to prosperity is a restoration of con-
ditions which will inspire confidence.
This confidence, Mr. Vail asserts,
would enable publ service and man
ufacturing enterprises to obtain cap
ity to finance extensions and improve
ments, thus re-acting to the benefit of
present sufferers from disturbed in
dustrial conditions.

CARRANZA LIFTS
BLOCKADE ON
MEXICO PORT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 15.-
At the state department this morning
announcement was made that General
Carranza has abandoned the blockade
instituted before the port of Progresso,
Mexico, upon urgent representations
by the United States government. The
Mexican gunboat Zaragos, heretofore
doing guard duty at the entrance to
the harbor, has been ordered to de-
ships laden with sisal for the United
States, cleared without interference.
The Importance of Gen. Carranza ac-
tion in lifting the blockade can be
readily understood when it is known
that practically all the sisal used II
making harvesting twine in the Unit
ed States is obtained through the port
of Progresso.
Officials here were generally encour-
aged today over the situation in Mexico
City today, but there was some anx-
iety apparent over conditions alleged
to exist at Manzanillo, an important
port on the Pacific side of Mexico,
where conditions bordering on anar-
chy exists. Carranza forces in control
there, it is said, have utterly failed to
maintain any semblance of order, and
this fact in connection with fast dim
inishing food supply has created SER
ious conditions.

ARMIES IN EAST.
To FEAR.
DECISIVE BATTLE.
(By Associated Press.1

LONDON, March 15.-Myster. con-
tinues to envelope the progress of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's latest
advance against the Russian forces in
Poland, but British observers today
believe the vast forces engaged cannot
longer be kept from coming into de-
cisive contact, and that one of tho
greatest battles of the war is certain
to be fought during the presen week.
Meagre information reaching here
from the eastern front indicates the
German advance has been successful
in the region embrace in the Forest
of Augustawo, but further to the south
in the Mlawa region, Russian forces
have initiated an advance toward
Plock, which is meeting with a degree
of success.
Russian and Austrian reports con-
fict regarding the result of Russian
counter attacks in the Carpathians,
and considerable uncertainty exists as
to the status prevailing in that re-
bion. The attacks, according to Petro-
grad reports, have been uniformly sue
Cessful, while the Vienna war Office
asserts Jehemently that the Russians
nave no. been unable to advance into
Hungary, but they have been actually
driven from positions heretofore sue
cessfully held against numerous Aus
trian assalts.
In the west during the past twenty
four hours interest centered chiefly in
offensive operations by the Anglo
French and Belgian allies, whose ac-
tivities more 4 al ever indicate the
beginning OF a general advance at an
early date Tie British successes n ctr
and ii Neuve Chappe'a haS'
been continued at other points, and
a Belgian army commanded by King
Albert scored an advance during Sun
day.
There is little information obtain
able regarding operations of the allied
fleet bombarding the Turkish forts
along the Dardanelles, and absolutely
no news concerning troop movements
upon the peninsula of Galipoli is per-
mitted to filter through the British and
French censors, though an ;mportan;
engagement in that quarter is believed
to be imminent, if not already in
progress.
