PREPAREDNESS FOES
GET WORD FROM HONE
One Representative Flops. An.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Two opponents
Of preparedness in the House of Rep
resentatives to-day saw great light.
One. W. F. Cox. Of Indiana. "hopped'

and announced his intention TO support
the Presidents programme from soup
TO nuts. The other. Representative
Martin Dies. took a train for Texas to

opposition to an adequate national de-
fence will be much less yociferous
when he returns.
In both cases the cause was the
same a referendum in their districts.
Mr.. Cox. who has long been known as
a little army and navy man. was eau
tious from the beginning. On January
! he began a referendum OF his dis

coming in a steady stream, were over
whelmingly for preparedness. Since
the tour of the President, he SAID to-
day. the letters have been even
stronger in tone for an adequate
national defence. indicating that the
speeches Of the President had much ef-
feet. So he has decided to vote as he
has learned the majority Of his con-
stituents would like.
The case of Mr.. Dies was rather dlf-
feront. The Dallas News" which cir
oulstes largely in his district, recently
began running a query TO its readers:
do you favor the Administration
plan for Strengthening the army ana
nay? Answer yes or no. Word
reached Mr.. Dies to-day that 1900
replies had been received, running
about twenty yeas TO one nay. He

4 few days ago Mr.. Dies received a
telegram signed by voters in his home
town. Beaumont, declaring that more
than half Of the people in his district
favored the Presidents preparedness
stand. Mr.. Dies replied that he would
rather resign from the House Of Rep
resentatives than support any such
policy. Nevertheless he is on his way
home to look over the situation.

Aims of Peace League.

For the purpose of correcting a mis-
apprehension that has been created IN
the minds of some that the plan Of the
league provides for the enforcement OF
arbitration, il is the intention of our
leaders to make it clear that this is
not the case" said Mr.. Schiefelin.
"The underlying idea Of the league
is that of preventing war by a sudden
show Of force. The nations in the pro
posed league Of the great powers are
TO agree to use their joint armed forces
only TO compel the submission of dis
putes to a court or council Of concilla-
ton. with the understanding that any
Of them may 60 to war over the issue
IL dissatisfied with the award Of the
arbitration"
DR.. TalcotS Williams. DR.. Elmer f.
Brown, Major George Haven Putnam
and numerous other advocates Of world
peace spoke at the conference in favor
of the leagues announced platform.
The American Defence Society took
occasion to denounce President Will
sons "keep-out-o policy" as not
in accordance with the theories of real
Americans, and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels as inefficient. Speakers at the
Washington's Birthday festivities, held
at the Biltmore, included Fred A. Brit
ten, member. of the House Committee
on Naval Affairs, and Henry Reuter-
dahl. an artist and expert on naval
affairs, both Of whom denounced the
system they now said Disseminated
against the real members Of the navy
the fighters in favor of civilians
who knew nothing Of the water, ships
or naval affairs.
Speakers before the American Truth
Society. at Carnegie Hall, set forth
views Of that organization that were
scarcely in the interests OF Great Brit
ian or the Allies. The name Of the
Father of His Country was used in this
connection also.
A last remnant OF New 1ork's old
volunteer fire department appeared on
the streets in the afternoon as an echo
Of the days when its members were
the backbone of the city's organization.

CHAPTER Liz.

CHAPTER LIN.
Copyright. 1916. Star Company.
A sense of horror. fear of some
thing awful and intangible. gripped
Agnes Morley when she found herself
alone.
Stumbling forward, she ran out into
the hall, forgetful of appearances. re-
gardless of the fact that others might
hear her voice, and wonder at her agi-
tation.
Phil! Phil!" she called.
But the echo of the downward rush
of feet on the stairs, then the slam
ming of the heavy lower door We're
the only answers to her voice.
And now over the girl like an icy
wave swept the memory of her lovers $
last words
won't trouble you again."
She dragged her heavy feet back
into the living room. Jennie came In
right behind her
please, Miss Agnes" she began, but
at the sound Agnes started violently.
OH" she exclaimed. The ejacula-
ton was almost like a scream, and the
maid shrank back. appalled,.
EXCUSE me, pelase, ma'am!" she
stammered. IT thought you heard me
coming. did not mean to scare
you like that"
"Yes-you did scare me-" Agnes
tried to speak steadily. going toward
the window as If to look out that the
girl might not see her reddened eyes.
But I should not have exclaimed as
I did. l must have been a little nerv-
ous."
Indeed, ma'am, you've had enough
to make you nervous" the kind
hearted Irish girl agreed. IT came in
because thought l heard you call out
something. My kitchen door was shut,
but heard your voice, and 1t sounded
kind of frightened, 1 thought, so
came right in. Is anything the mat
ter?"
why, no-nothing-thati is, I tried
to call Mr.. Hale-there was something
| wanted to speak to him about, but
he was gone before I-before I-could
make him hear me. I did not know
l was calling so loudly"
Jennie Is Mistaken
The girl fingered awkwardly. She
had jumped to the conclusion that
her employers agitation was due to
some bad news with regard to Miss
Lucy Morley. At last, when Agnes
still remained with her back to the
room, Jennie summoned courage to
ask a question.
please, maam"-with a prelimin-
ary clearing of the throat-"did you
Miss Lucy any worse?
A sudden inspiration came to Agnes
relief. Since Miss Lucy was so very
i'll why not let the maid think that this
fact had caused the'red eyes and swol-
len face of the niece? 1t might be Il
bit like prevarication-and yet back
of all her troubles lay Miss Lucy's S
illness. But for that-all these dread
full things would not have happened.

This Simple Laxative
DR.. CaId,UeIps Syrup Pepsin
Relieved Her Baby When
Nothing Else You'd.

Little Max Pendergrast is now four
years old, and fine healthy boy. When
but tiny baby, in fact almost from
birth, he suffered great deal from
constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl
w. Pendergrast, Red Key. Ind, heard
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, OBJ
tanned a bottle of 1t from the drug
store, and with it was able to quickly
correct this condition.
Mrs. Pendergrast says DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin has saved them
from calling the doctor many times,
and that she will never be without a
bottle of it in the house to use when
needed. She found 1t equally effective
as a laxative for herself and other
members of the family.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin pleasant to the taste,
mild in action and positive in effect.
1t does not grippe or strain. and con-
tains no opiate or narcotic drug. 1t
is the ideal family laxative, mild and
pleasant for baby, yet acting quickly
on the strongest constitution.

Agnes ate a little; then, as the dusk

doorbell, for the return of the man
who loved her. for something, she
knew not what, that was coming.
But nothing came. and when the
mantel clock struck ten. she gave up
her vigil and went to bed. For a while

Phil had spoken as he left her-"I'm
going to see cambridge. He won't
trouble you again." At last, worn out
by her emotions. she slept-an un-
happy slumber filled with uneasy
dreams.
And while she dreamed, men of an
uptown detective bureau gathered in
the corridor of a f1ashily handsome
apartment house where an ashen-
faced negro elevator boy took them
upstairs to a door that had been
broken in.
Later, when the first editions of the
morning papers appeared on the
street, people returning home at dawn
yielded to the lure of the staring head
lines, and read of new murder that
had startled the city.
For Hasbrook cambridge was dead.
They had laid him on the big brass
bed in his bachelor apartment. They
had washed the gross face clean of
blood. and a sleek undertaken had
pressed the thick lips together over
the gap left by the bullet which had
knocked out two of his front teeth.

A GLASS WHICH CANNOT BE
SHATTERED

A new glass, transparent, tough and
strong. which has all the advantages
and none of the defects of brittle, frag-
lie window glass, has been invented.
A twenty-five caliber bullet cannot
penetrate it; brick cannot shatter it;
a heavy man thrown against 1t under
all the terrific momentum of a colli-
sion would not go through it, but
would be thrown back from 1t, unin-
jured by flying glass, because none
would fly. A stone thrown against 1t
will bounce back like golf ball.
The secret of its strength, says the
Popular Science Monthly, is sheet of
white. transparent celluloid, twenty
one thousandths of an inch thick,
which is placed between two pieces of
glass. The glass and celluloid are
simply welded together under high
temperature and tremendous pressure,
the resultant being a solid sheet pos
sessing all the transparency of the
best plate glass, combined with the
strength of sheet of metal.

To RE-EyANUNE JTNFIT

Paris. Nov. 24.-The minister of
war has introduced bill in the cham
Der of deputies by which all persons
exempted from military service or
mustered out as physically unfit prior
to April l, 1916, must submit to a
further medical examination. During
the first period of the war the main
object in recruiting was not to over
crowd the depots and consequently
only the strongest men were taken.
The minister believes that of several
hundred thousand men thus exempted
an apreciable number will be found,
on less perfunctory medical exami-
nation, to be capable of enrolment for
noncombatant service at least. Certain
defects, hitherto considered inhibitive.
are not incompatible with service in
the artillery or even the fighting ranks.

Scans Allolvance) Coat with Plaits,
81 to a. bust.
1896 with Basting Line and Added
Seam AHoydnce) Plated Skirt with
Yoke, 24 to 81 waist.

Gabardine has received the approval OF
Paris. 1t is shown in great many of the
imported models and as it is in itself a
beautiful material it's vogue is established.
This costume shows it treated in the simple
tailored fashion that always is practical
and which allows of wearing any fur wrap
that the occasion may require. The coat
gives little hint of the Norfolk idea in
the yoke but it is distinctly novel for the
side portions are extended to form the
belt which holds the plaits in place at the
waist line while they are released below.
The skirt harmonizes with this coat to
perfection for it also is plated at the sides
and plain at the front and back. APP
propriately, the model can be used for
velours or'for broadcloth or for velveteen
as we'll as for The gabardine.
For the medium size the coat will
require, Al yards of material SO inches
wide, 8 yards "A or 212 yards 81 and for
the skirt will be needed, AZ yards SO, 3ss
yards "A or 37s yards 81; it is 4 yards in
width at the lower edge.
The pattern of the coat No. 1914 is cut
in sizes from "a to A. inches bust measure
and of the skirt No. 1896 in sizes from "a
to 81 inches waist measure. They will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt oi
