I.ondon-If the combined fleets Of
Great Britain and France can prevent
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 England's 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
Tuesday afternoon at 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 destin-
alton, ownership or origin"
The premier emphasized, however,
that vessels and cargoes 80 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 80 in self defense.
"We are quite prepared" he went on,
ITO submit to the arbitrament of neu-
tral opinion and still more to the ver-
dict of impartial history, that in the
circumstances in which we have been
placed we have been moderate; we
have been restrained; we have abb
stained from things that we were pro-
voked and attempted to do, and we
have adopted policy which commends
itself to reason, to common sense and
to Justice"
Every member of the house not at
the front in khaki or unavoidably
detained was in his seat to hear the
prime minister's speech and there was
frequent cheering. The galleries were
packed. When the premier concluded
his set statements and, turning to the
speaker, said, "That, sir, is our re-
ply" there was tremendous outburst

Good and Evil.

We often try in vain to cut up our
errors by the roots, to fight evil hand
to hand on its own ground, where II
has us at disadvantage, whereas our
most sure way to victory is by devel.
oping and fortifying the good that is
in us. We have but certain measure
of strength and activity; as much OF
this as is added to the good is taken
from the evil.-Mme. Swetchine.

slavery existed in New York in 1928,
in New Jersey in 1928, in Massachu-
setts in 1880, in Connecticut in 1881
and in Delaware in 1886. There was

Rev. Frederick Lynch, made public
here a message which the union has
addressed to ''the churches and clergy
Of America" cautioning ministers
and church people against partisanship
In discussing the European war, and
protesting against the present agita-
tion for increased ornaments. This
is saidssto be the first time in church
history that Catholics and Protestants
have Joined in signing common letter
addressed to the churches. The Peace
Unions letter is signed by Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore, and Archbishop
Glennon, of st. Louis. The president
of the union is the Right Rev. David
H. Greer, Protestant Episcopal Bishop
Of New York.
At the first meeting of the Church
Peace Union on February 10, 1914, 1t
was announced that Mr.. Carnegie had
made it an endowment of $4,000, 900,
its aim being the furtherance of the
cause of international peace through
the united efforts of all religious bod
les. Twenty-nine prominent clergy
men and churchmen, representing all
denominations, including Jewish or
ganizations, were appointed trustees.
1t is these men who have signed the
message in question. Following is one
of the striking paragraphs in the let
ter:

GOOD FOR NATIONS HEALTH
Beneficial Results From Early Entry of Spring Vegetables Into the
 Markets of the Country.

One of the marvels of modern life is the early date when spring fruits and vegetables appear in the markets. Seven years ago they almost always went North in wilted condition. With modern facilities these products of southern attitudes appear in northern towns in marvelously fresh condition
 For the great majority of people pre- maturely early food products are an impossible luxury. But the growing wealth of the country is signified by the number of people who today feel that they can afford to buy these early garden products. For people of means it is a healthful way of spending money, which otherwise might go into highly seasoned cooking and stimuli lants.
 Also the cost of these early products has not increased as much as one would expect. They are raised in so much larger quantities that competi- tion keeps prices somewhere within reason. Regular markets have been established and transportation costs are greatly reduced through volume of traffic.-South Bend News-Times.

Colored Parsons Description of His Satanic Majesty Brought Converts

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar, who in days gone by used to make periodical visits to Danville, says the Advocate, for the purpose of deliver ing his sermons, remarkable on ac- count of their startling texts, on one occasion spoke to a large assemblage of the colored population and few whites at the old colored Methodist church on Walnut street He arose, raised his spectacles from his eyes, and said:
 My beloved brederen and sisteren. take my tex dis evenin in dat DOT ton uv de Scriptur' whar de 'Postle Paul pints his pistol at de 'Phesans, an whar it says. 'Whar de hen scratches dars de worm, 'cetpin' de case whar sum previus hen hay bin dar'" He then proceeded to tell his hearers what a horrible personal ap- pearance the devil presented, with the following description: His eyes look like two balls uv fire, his teef like two skinned saplins. his ears hang down like a 'baccer leaf an his pref smoke like a tar kittle." That night Peter made many converts.
