U. s. REPLY ID KAISER
 LIKELY TO 60 TODAY
WITH Reiterato Previous DO-.
 maRdS on Germany.

Counsellor Lansing of the state de- can note to Germany would likely be dispatched late today.
 The delay has not been due to any disposition to modify the terms of the note. If anything, 1t has been to rem der them more explicit. It will reiter- ate the previous demands.
 While many declare the delay In transmission is exactly what Berlin has hoped for. others believe thnt 1t really is an aid to the American cause. as 1t gives the German foreign office time to thoroughly digest the commit nication sent by Count von Bernstorff, the kaiser's ambassador, after his con. ference with President Wilson last week
 That Germany is willing to reach a compromise with the United States. although the concessions be liberal and many. Is the gst of statement given out in Washington and regarded as semionicial. According to the report, Germany will agree to cease attacks on American ships of all kinds, even if they are cnrrying contraband; to settle for all American ships destroyed or damaged by German submarines and to, make re9aratlon for the loss of lives in such cases: to allow all passenger ships to pass unmolested, provided the United States prohibits the shipments of explosives aboard them. and 10 pay in full for any dami ge which may be done to American vessels through a mistake in their nationality.
 Officials do not look for an answer to the note until fifteen days have elaps- ed from the time that it Is sent. Anton Meyer Gerhard. Ambassador Count von Bernstorff's personal envoy to Berlin. who is to inform the foreign office of the feeling in America over the issue between the United States and Germany, will arrive at his desti- nation June 15 or 16 Should the for elgn office begin work on n reply at once Washington probably would not receive 1t before June 20 at the earliest possible date.

Iceberu Lake,

The lakes in Glacier National park that are fed by glacial water are milk white, but others are clear and pure and reflect all the varying aspects of the sky and clouds above. On clear day the water is beautifully blue, but when storm clouds gather it assumes darker shades. which make it appear dangerous and forbidding. One of the most attractive lakes in the park Is Iceberg lake, so called because the glacier at its edge discharges bergs into it's waters at intervals, after the manner of the glaciers found in the arctic region. The crest of the wall around this lake is as high above the water as four buildings like New York's skyscrapers atop one another

Naturally when any citizen of the com munity did anything Tn conventional or improper or made d mistake or had a relative who went wrong that citizens first and worst fear was that the Aiags- worth BittSes would hear of 1t. In fact, this painful family had for years terroriZcd the community, though the community had never realized that il was terrorized and invariably spoke of the family as the most charming cir cle in town By common consent Mrs. Roderick Magsworth Bitts otlici- ated as the supreme molel as well as critic in chief of morals and deport ment for all the unlucky people pros porous enough to be elevated to her acquaintance.
 Magsworth was the important part of the name. Mrs. Roderick MagS- worth Bitts was Magsworth born herself. and the Magsworth crest deco rated not only Mrs. Magsworth Bitts' note paper, but was on the china, on the table linen. on the chimney pieces. on the opaque glass of the front do.r. on the victoria and on the harness. though omitted from the garden hose and the lawn mower.
 Naturally no sensible person dream ed of connecting that illustrious crest with the unfortunate and notorious Rena Magsworth. whose name had grown week by week into larger and larger type upon the front pages of newspapers owing to the gradually in- creasing public and official belief that she had poisoned a family of eight. However, the statement that no sensi- ble person could have connected the Magsworth Bitts family with the ar senical Rena takes no account of Ten rod Schofeld.

He had not gone far when the horse became restless and finally up- set the car into a ditch. The judge asked the driver how long the animal had been in harness.

Love.

Properly there is only one verb for love. It is not "amo." It is not "aimer." It is not the softest Italian verb. No printed language of man knows it. But the violin knows it. and the wild bird knows it; even the sea knows it. The rose is 1t, and the moon is it, and the look of mans eyes into a woman's is it, and the look of a woman's eyes back again is it. But no man or woman can say it In any language that endures.

Miss Spence was Penrod's teacher. It was better, for many reasons, not to discuss the sub ject of her queerness before him. This was. Mrs. .Schofelds thought at the time. Later she had another, and it kept her awake.
 The next afternoon Mir. Schofield, re- turning at , o'clock from the cares of the day, found the house sserted and sat down to read his evening paper in what appeared to be an uninhabited apartment known to it's own world as the drawing room." 4 sneeze, unex- pected both to him and the owner, in- formed him of the presence of another person.
 Where are you, Penrod?'' the par ent asked, looking about.
 Here" said Penrod meekly.
 Stopping, MT. Schofeld discovered his son squatting under the piano, near an open window-his wistful Duke ly- ing beside him.
 What are you doing there"
 "Me?"
 "Why under the piano?"
 Well" the boy returned with grave sweetness, "I was just kind of sitting here-thinking."
 "All right Mr. Schofield, rather touched, returned to the digestion of a murder, his back once more to the piano, and Penrod silently drew from beneath his jacket (where he had slil- ped it simultaneously with the sneeZe) paper backed volume entitled, Slim sy, the Sioux City Squealer; or, Not Guilty, Your Honor.'"
 In this manner the reading club con tinued ill peace, absorbed, contented, the world well forgot-until a sudden, violently irritated slam bang of the front door startled the members, and Mrs. Schofeld burst into the room and threw herself into a chair moaning.

 "Well, what has he''-
 "Last night I got to thinking" she began rapidly, about what Clara told us-thank heaven she and Margaret and little Clara have gone to tea at Cousin Charlotte's-but they'll be home soon-about what she said about Miss Spence"-

SAY ANTI=SALOON FIGHT
 INCREASES DRINK PLACES
But Beer Not Sold The Call It By Other Life Saving Stations Keep Open On Sabbath Without Li Soup

Washington, Jan. 14,-There are two old sayingsi
 "A rose by any ether name weuld smell as sweet
 Love laughs at loclxs1niths."
 Since the Jone-Werks bill went in to effect closing a large number of saloons in Washtngtoh and leaving it to the Excise Board te decide who Of the saloon keepers should remain in the 300 permitted to do business qHenches just as many tairsts, and the brewers laugh at the Anti-Sa- loon league.
 A few days ago the following news item appeared in a Washington newspaper:
 WANTS BEER SIGNS TAKEN
 ERgAE FORMER SALOONS.
 S'Tn an snEorf to compel, the re- moval of beer signs from former sa- loon properfdAs the Excise Board has appealed to the police department for assistance. Major Sylvester chief of the department, has been unable to find any law or regulation under which the desired action can be en- forced and the papers VIII probably be referred to the cooperation coun- sel for r8commendnxton.
 The action 1s the outgrowth of the prevailing practice of a number Of former saloon Keepers whose ap- pIications for renewal of licenses were dfsapproved by the Excise Board. A considerable number of these dealers. the authorities are fn- formed. are maintaining the old signs as a lure to the thirsty public and serving near-beer to those who enter their establishments. Although an internal revenue license is requir- ed for the sale of such beverages, said to contain less than 2 per cent. of alcohol, no local license is neces sary.''i
 The fact is that the saloons keep open in Washington the same as they always did and then some Those that were deprived of licenses can keep open on Sunday and a large number Of them do. The ones that have license have to close while those that sell ..near-beer,' ana have no license consider themselves on a par with the ice cream parIor and the soda fountain and they keep open.

tronized.
 The main reason that the number of saloons were limited was because the Anti-Saloon league said that the saloons were brotheIs of crime and breeding places of all sorts ef wrong doing.
 Beer to require 8 license must contain four per cent. of alcohol. Long before the law was passed the brewers saw what was coming and they commenced to make a near beer which contains less than per cent. alcohol and which is sold by corner groceries who do not have 8 license. Home Brew and ssNoalco'' are two of the names that are most popular among the se-called tenn perance beers.
 Several brands of Mead are also on the market. Oyster houses which were formerly unable to sell beer be- cause of the need Of a license are now able to provide their customers what they want without a license, and where one beer selling place once dourished two are now in full bloom, and Uncle Sam does mot collect a 1i-
 One with craving for SalcohoI has to drink twice as much of the two per cent. alcohol to get the same ef- feet, if an effect is desired, as was procured by drinking the per cent. beers. More profit for brewers!
  paIatable and those drinking it with meal Of seafood prefer 1t what used to be called by the ugly name of Beer
 The men who are paying the heavy licenses to sell the heavy liz uuors do not take kindly to the free and unlicensed sale of the light stuff and those who have been supporting the Anti-saIoon league in it's crusade are 1t to be tied.
 If the sale Of light beers is to be taken into consideration the victory of the Anti-Salooners has been turn ed into a defeat.
 Beer under other names tastes just as good and like love and the lock smiths the brewers laugh at the law smiths Of the Anti-Saloon league and the maiden a,unts and the ladies of the sewing circles at the cross roads meeting houses who contribute to keep the league alive will have to dip down in their stockings a little deeper if the league is going to stop the people of Washington from drinking beer.
