aware, and as it Is constrained to hold in view of the present indisputable doctrines of accepted international law, that any change in it's own laws of neutrality dur ing the progress of a war which would affect unequally the relations of the United States with the nations at war would be unjustifable departure from the principle of strict neutrality by which 1t has consistently sought to direct it's ac- tions, and I respectfully submit that none of the circumstances urged in your eX- cellencys memorandum alters the princi- pie involved. The placing of an embargo on the trade in arms at the present time l ould constitute such a change and be a direct violation of the neutrality of the United States. It will feel assured, be cl.ar to your excellency that, holding this V ew and considering itself in honor bound hv it, it is out of the question for this gov enment to consider such course.
 Spirit of Friendship
 'I hope that your eXcellency will realize the spirit in which l am drafting this re. ply. The friendship between the people of the United States and the people of Grmany is so warm and of such long standing, the ties which bind them to one another in amty are many and So strong, that this government feels under a special compulsion to speak with per feet frankness when any occasion arises which seems likely to create any nlisun- derstanding, however slight or temporary between those who represent the govern ments of the two countries. It will be a matter of gratification to me if 1 have removed from your excellency's mind any misapprehension you may have been under regarding either the policy or the spirit and purposes of the government of the United States. It's neutrality is founded upon the firm basis of conscience and good will.
 Accept, excelency, the renewed assur- anees of my highest consideration.

The Woman Who Fusses

ing-stock of herself and the whole
family, but he is nearly always power
less to stop her. For the cure of fus-
siness in women is exceedingly diff
ficult. They won't admit their fussi
ness, you see.
However, | heard of one husband
who successfully cured his wife of
fussing. He hit upon a splendid
scheme to pay her back in her own
coin. BY nature, he was the mildest
of men. It literally wasn't in him to
rouse up commotion. But it certain
ly was in his wife! That was the
trouble. She was the fussiest creature
imaginable.
One summer, when they were going
away for their annual fortnight's Wis
It to the sea, the wife had been par
ticularly trying. For about a month
previous to the great event, she had
| done nothing but fuss. The poor hus-
| band was quite exhausted and worn
out.
| When they got down nto the railroad
station half of the luggage got lost
/ This was the husbands opportunity
He didn't give his wife time to begin
but started in fussing himself in thu
most whole-hearted way. Really, HI
carried the thing to excess. HI
stormed up and down the platform, HI
swore at the porters. and figurativel
speaking, he raised Cain.
This gentle mood continued al
through the journey. He fused tn
! whole day. Not only that but h
fused for the whole of the first thre
days at the seaside. He refused t
allow his wife or his children out c
his sight for a single instant. The
all really had dreadful time.
But his performance had one tho

governess in family.
For the last eight months she has
been working very hard, and saving
quite lot of money, too, for her
trousseau. Not only did she teach
during the day but she tutored at
rights. Her artistman wasn't too
well off financially.
Now a splendid thing has happened
An old legacy which had gone amiss'
ing turned up for the artist and it
enabled him to get maWied at once.

The little bodice was particularly
dainty and becoming, with its chem
isette of white chiffon and its siny
sleeves. 1t was fashioned in cross

street to see what dreadful things
have happened.
This fussiness is very bad for the
children. For nervousness is COM
municable, and children soon become
infected with that sort of thing. The
woman who perpetually fuses is not
acting squarely to her family. She is
bequeathing to them an unpleasant
heritage and setting them a wretched
example, to say the least of it.
And the children of the woman who
fuses rarely give her the respect
which in the natural course of events
would be her due. How can they?
They see that she is irrational, ill
balanced, that she lacks "poise.'
