Washington, May 22.--Such advices
as have been received from AMBUSH
dor Gerard within the last few days, 1t
became known tonight, have given no
intimation as to the character of the
German reply to the recent American
note beyond the generality that IT will
be friendly in tone.
The German answer is now expect
ed to reach Washington late next
week. Until then the situation as be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. over alleged violations of in
ternationa law In connection with the
British order In council, will not be
developed by officials here. After
the German note is received, however,
it Is practically certain that represen-
tations ON the general subject of the
commercial embargo imposed by the
allies on intercourse with Germany
will be made
There is no tendency among Off
cials here to underestimate the Sc
riousness of the situation which may
result In the event of an unfaVorable
reply from Berlin to the American
representations, On one point in par
ticular ii is known that the Wash
ingtOn government will insist on a
complete disavowal of any intention
to destroy American lives and full
reparation for injuries sustained. II
the German reply should cover this
point satisfactorily II is felt that ar
rangements for the future safeguard
ing of American citizens can then be
approached through further diplo-
matte correspondence, for 1t is ex-
pected that the German reply will
suggest arrangements whereby phs-
senger and eontraband traffic on bell
ligeront merchantmen might be sepa-
rated,
In Austro-German circles here. il
was said today that the reply to tho
American note might be delayed for
several days and that this should not
be construed as meaning that the Inn
portance of the issue Is not realized,
but that the Italian situation is so
pressing that the completion of the
reply may be unavoidably delayed

am a small unpretenhous al arm clock, whose chief duty is to arouse the master of the house, a grouchy, old farmer, at five o'clock in the morning, Every evening" when he goes to bed he always winds me up good and tight, and I sit on the chair, drawn up close to the bed, and listen to him snore all night. At five o'clock, when l go off, he rolls over slowly, nut tering to himself, and as continue to rattle and bang, he sits up in bed and then he crawls out slowly, and shuts me off. Then l sit on my chair and tick off the seconds until the maid comes in and makes the bed and puts the room in order. Then have an other doleful session with myself until the farmers bed time rolls around again.

The Life of the SchOol.house Clock.
 The old school-hoIsc clock was almost always exactly right. This particular little village had a quaint old school-hOuse which had been standing for about fifteen years. Ii used to be a Post-oflica but was transformed into schOol-house. This day the old clock was not right; in fact, something was very wrong, for it had stopped. While at the jewelry store 1t told it's story to the chronomcter and to some valuable souvenirs. The speech went thus:-"I'ye beeI in that Ill., tie old school-house for almsol twelve years. Every morning and noon q big bell rings and all the children march in. About four times q day small hell rings and they all go out, although sometimes a few will stay in later than usual. Thirteen times since l have been at school, q round thing has come crashing through the windows. Twice it hit the teachers desk, q found out that's what they call her) and scared her almost out of her wits. These events h2yc been fol- lowed by great excitement among both teachers and child"eL. Sever al times 1 have heard unusual screeching and yelling coming from one of the other rooms. l later found out it was boys, whom had misbehayed and wor" getting a spanking. After all the the chil- dren or pupils have gone a man comes around and sweeps uD all the dirt made by the pupils. Once in while this man will move my hands.
 Every week he cOmsc with kind of a screw and wines me up. These last two are among the un- comfortable experiences oi my life. It seems that the teacher can make the children mind her. What queer life" said one of the sou venirs. "Very queer indeed" they all echoed. Well, gOod~bye,' said the clock, as the jeweler took him away to be repaired.

 No, that's too dry" said the Alarm clock.
 Well, then, let's just talk" said Baby Ben.
 Alright. I'll begln," said the Alarm Clock.
 Well, 1t certainly is stormy out, why do people want to go visiting in such weather?"
 T am sure I don't know; it must be because it's stylish; these peo- pie do everything because it's styl- ish, seems to me-" said Baby Ben.

Tick tock, tick tock," said the clock, standing in the big hall of grandfather's house. Tell me a story, please" sail the little girl of when you were young. Tick tock, tick tock," replied the clock, trying to recall one of its many adventures. "Once, many years ago." began the clock, "a lit tie boy came to this very spot, and climbed up on a chair in front of ne. He had been left with the maid, and seizing the opportunity came to see what I was made or In his hand he carried a hammer. l see what clock made of, he said to himself. I was terribly frightened and tried to protest, but he made such a noise that he could not hear my gentle voice. He pulled me to pieces. and then not finding bird inside, was disgusted, and left me, partly on ths floor, and partly on the wall. He tried to keep his father and mother away from the hall, but at last his mis- chief came out. He received a whipping. and was sent to bed, while I was taken to a jeweler to be fixed. He repaired me so that I could be used again, but I was patched in front. See the patch? This little boy now winds me every day. He is a big man now, and you call him Daddy "
