| The program for the afternoon, "Ev-

DENTS" Mrs Matte Beatty, leader, was
very earnestly discussed, as to wheth-
er the student SHOULD make the most
and best of himself and his opportuni-
ties, or indulge in the late hours
and social functions which are SO al
Turing and present such a great temp,
tation to the average student, the rem
edy to this it would seem to lie with
the parents, in not having too many
functions, and insisting that SO many
evenings of the school week should
| be devoted to study, regardless OF
what was going on outside, except in
an unusual case, and the student is
also better prepared for his school du-
ties if he gets the sleep and rest he
needs Mrs. Dwight favored the clut
with a beautiful solo which is always
appreciated by the audience Simple
ity in dress, Mrs. S. s. Humphrey

ferent viewpoints. That each person
should assert her individuality il
dress as far as maybe, to bs
suitable and appropriately dressed a
all times, and to avoid being over
dressed.
Mrs. Chamberlain, being unable t.
be present, the topic Individuality II

with. Mrs. Dwight then gave anothe
solo which CONCLUDED the program TO

ALLIED FLEETS
SHUT OFF TRADE
Trade With Germany 10 Be
Stopped At Once.
ENGLISH PREMIER MAKES CLEAR
AND DISTINCT STATEMENT
Vessels and Carg0es VIII Not be Con-
fiscated. Lives of Crews and Pass
engers Will be Safe.

London If the combined fleets
of Great Britain and France can pre-
vent it, no commodities of any kind
except those now on the seas shall
henceforth until the conclusion OF
the war reach or leave the shores of
Germany
This is Englands answer to Ger
many's submarine blockade and it is
to be effective forthwith
Premier Asquith, reading from a
prepared statement made this an
nouncement in the house of commons
Monday afternoon at a session which
will be historic. Studiously avoiding
the terms blockade" and Contra
band"-for these words occur nowhere
in the prepared statement-the pre-
mier explained that after this day the
allies considered themselves justified
in attempting and would attempt to
"detain and take into port ships car
rying goods of presumed enemy des-
tination, ownership or origin"
The premier emphasized, however,
that vessels and cargoes SO seized were
not necessarily liable to confiscation,
and begged the patience of neutral
countries in the face of step through
which they were likely to suffer He
added that in making such step the
allies had done so in self-denfense.
I'VE are quite prepared" he went
on, TO submit to the arbitrament of
neutral opinion, and still more to the
verdict Of impartial history that in
the circumstances in which we have
been placed we have been moderate;
We have been restrained; we have
abstained from things that we were
| lnrOUnkn6 and nj ad fo do
have adopted policy which COM
mends itself to reason, to common
sense and to Justice"
Every member of the house not at
the front in khaki or unavoidably de-
tanned was in his seat to hear the
prime minister's speech, and there
was frequent cheering. The galleries
were packed. When the premier con-
cluded his set statement, and turning
to the speaker, said: THAT, sir, ie
our reply" there was tremendous
outburst.
Curiously the German reply to the
American mote seeming to solve the
situation growing out of Germany'e
declaration of a naval war zone, was
handed to Ambassador Gegard at Ber-
lin oMnday and Premier Asquith in his
! speech, said that Great Britain and
her allies we're carefully considering
the American note to them on the
same subject That the British gov
!, ernment had rejected the proposals
he declared was quite untrue"
The tremendous cost of modern
warfare, which the premier estimated
; now at $7,500,000 daily to the allies
alone and likely to grow to $780,
900 or more daily by April, was the
theme of that part OF the premiere
, address not dealing with the blockade
He gave these figures in asking fol
a supplementary vote of credit, max.
ing total OF G362,000,O0 ($1.81o,-
000,000) to prosecute the war t
March 81, 1915, which the house
unanimously granted.
1 The entire struggle with Napoleon
cost England only E1,813 100000, ant
the South African war only E211 900,

Mrs. Brood flushed to the roots OF
her hair. 81 do not want to appear

that made forbearance impossible.

that he is vastly more sinned against

This morning Frederic came into

of my sympathy, to help him If can,
to offer him the shelter Of my home"
A spasm OF alarm crossed YVonne's
face. do you really believe 1t will
come to that?" she demanded, nerv-
ously.
"If what fear should come to pass,
he will not stay in this house another
hour. He will go forth from 1t, ours

that his soul can possess. And now,
Mrs. Brood, shall l tell you what l

tell you why, but"
81 suppose It is the custom with
those who play with fire. They SHRINK
when 1t burns them"
Mrs. Brood looked at her steadily
for a long time without speaking. The
rebellious, sullen expression died out
of her eyes. She sighed deeply, almost
despairingly.

cannot blame you for considering me
to be a-a-Ill not say 1t. Mrs. Des-

"You know, Of course, that he turned
one wife out Of this house, Mrs
Brood" said Mrs. Desmond, deliber'
ately.
Something like terror leaped into
the others eyes. The watcher expe'
