An itinerary for the tour practical
ly was completed at the White House

the question of accepting an invita-
tion in that city in connection with

DISCUSS WAR
IN THE SENATE
Both Belligerents Made Tar
gets By Orators
Yesterday
THREATEN ENGLAND
THREATEN ENGLAND
Senator Hoke Smith Leads Debate
and Demands Action Oh Part of
Congress in Matter.

WaSlllSI IOIli Jan. -i'-1oouSS aus
ing from the European war were dis
cuSsed without restraint in the Sen
ate yesterday in c.e warmest de-
bate on international questions since
Congress convened. Great brltains
interference with IAmericae S:G1e was
characterized as perpetual robbery"
Germany was branded as guilty OF
murder" pleas were. made for an
embargo on munitions and foodstutfs
to England, and charges were made
and denied that British censors in
tercepted American mail to take ad-
vantage of trade secrets. Possibility
of war to enforce American rights
did not escape attention, but the Sug-
eestion of war was counterbalanced
with appeal for calm deliberation to
await justice from cooler heads after
belligerents had recovered from war
madness.
The discussion was precipitated by
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who
delivered a long prepared speech de-
nouncing Great Br,tain's course in
holding up neutral commerce and par
ticularly her interference with cotton
shipments to Germany. He proposed
an embargo against England, who,
he said, could not continue the war
without munitions from this coun-
try nor feed her people without food
from the United States and other neu-
trails. His vigorous assault upon Eng
lands attitude was endorsed by Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho, who said he was
willing to take responsibility for "ac-
ton, not Speech" to protect Amerl-
can rights, but feared embargo legis-
lation could not be passed by Congress
From Senator John Sharp Williams
the Georgia senator's utterances drew
a stirring reply, with declaration he
was not willing to go to war for
mere dollars nor to have the "peo-
pie of Dixie" placed in an attitude
of holding property on plane with
human life. Senator Williams said
until the issue of murdered American
women and children on the high seas
was settled he would not nag the
President of the United States about
property nor attempt to force set
tlement of monetary loss from war
maddened people until he could ap-
peal to their calmer judgment when
war had cepsed.
For several hours the Senate was
held in rapt attention by the frank
ness and vigor of the speakers. The
discussion reached climax when
Senator Smith, indignant at the in
timation that he would place COM
mercialism over human life dramatic
ally inquired of Senator Williams:
Because Germany has been guilty
of murder, must we concede the
right of perpetual robbery on the
high seas to Great Britain" ?"
Senator Smith declared that Con-
gress should act because the Presi-
dent could do no more than write
notes. He said that he did not want
to go to war. but insisted that the
United States should have the nerve
to insist upon its commercial rights,

RUSSIANS PUSH STEADILY

Advance Made Possible by Co-Ope-

Forces.

PETROGRAD. March {, via London
March S.-The success of the Russian
Black sea coast maneuvers. in which the
Russians landed forces to the east of Ire
bizond, is attracting great attention.
This is not due solely to the Russian
strategy which is gradually expelling the
Turks from the coast towns on the way
to TrebiZond, but because upon the fa-
vorable conclusion of these operations
rests the possibility of the continued ad-
vance of the central Russian army toward
Sivas. The capture by the Russians of
Trebizond, if it materializes, will enable
the central army to resume its westward
march.

A DANISH LEGEND.

Once upon a time the daughter of
one of the underground people, the
Bergmen, was married to a smith who
lived in Mors.
wife, although her husband, the smith,
was cross and surly and sometimes
even beat her when he was In an i'll
temper.
Kirstin did not like this at all, and
n day when he had taken up a stick
intending to strike her she seized a
great horseshoe which was lying on
the anvil and broke it in two without
any difficulty.
The smith was astonished. Are you
that %strong?" he asked. '"Then why
have you never resisted when l struck
your"
Because l love you," said Kirstin.
"In strike you no more!' said the
smith, and he kept his word.
The people of Mors, however, were
not friendly to the Bergman's
daughter and In spite of her desire to
be on pleasant terms with them
avoided her and would scarcely I'VE
nod to her when they met.
One day, as she and all the people
were standing in the churchyard, wait
ing for the arrival of the minister,
Kirstin said to her husband:
"Listen to me-my father Is coming
to see me, but he is angry"
AS she thus warned her husband the
Bergman appeared, and a most awe
inspiring person he was! Indeed, he
was so terrible to look at that the
people would have liked to creep into
the earth to avoid him.
my dear daughter" said the Berg
man, 81 hear the people here will have
naught to do with you, so l have come
to remedy that"
Eyes, father" replied Kirstin. "Ill
toss them up in the air a bit" said he.
"Will you pitch Or catch?"
"Ill CATCH" said Kirstin, for she
feared the Bergman would handle the
people very roughly.
Then began a merry game. The Berg
man stood on one side of the church,
~k1fstin, his daughter, on Ii other, and
the Bergman tossed all the people In
turn over the roof of the church to Kir-
stin, who deftly caught them.
No one was injured, but every one
was badly scared. But the plan worked
to a charm, for so long as Kirstin lived
she was treated with the greatest re-
spect and consideration.

Size of.the Ark.

In Genesis vi, 10, we have the meas
ure of the ark to be as follows: "The
length of the ark shall be 300 cubits,
the breadth of it 80 cubits and the
height of it 80 cubits." We find that
authorities differ somewhat as to the
exact length of a cubit. 1t may be
from eighteen inches to twenty-one
inches. If we take twenty inches as
the length of a cubit the ark would
measure 500 feet by SO 1-3 feet by so
feet. A slight variation, n way or
the other, will make no material differ
ence in the final measure.
