ENTENTE IS WELL
 WITHIN ITS RIGHTS
State Department Feels Under
 No Obligation to Take Action
 or Board Issues Until Replies From Entente Are Received.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The United States it was said today, comedies the entente allies are within their rights under prevailing international law in arming merchant ships for defensive purposes, no matter what conditions exist. Consequently it is admitted that should the allies decline the American suggestion to disarm ships founded primarily on a desire to save the lives of innocent non-combatants this government cannot announce its approval of the intention of the leu tonic powers to torpedo all armed vessels, although various high offic- ials are convinced that the position of Germany and Austria is justified. The department officials now are engaged in trying to determine what will happen if the commanders begin to put their new instructions into effect. It is said, too, that the United States in the near future may make some inquiries as to how the central powers expected to determine with merchantmen are armed.
 ] In response to inquiries regarding this aspect it was said tonight that the German and Austrian govern ments would under no condition disre- gard the assurances given to the 1 United States in regard to the con- duct of submarine warfare. Atten- tion was called to the fact that the German government had assured the United States that passenger liners would not be attacked without warn ing.
 These assurances it was said woulC not be repudiated and for that reason liners in service would not be attacked without warning, even if they have defensive armament aboard. leu tonic officials were inclined to believe that such an issue would not arise a! Great Britain has agreed that ship entering American waters would no be armed. In both diplomatic ant official circles doubt was expressed that the new policy would affect con ditions in the Atlantic, although | Italy persists in arming merchant men difficulties might arise in th' Mediterranean.
 The state department does not fee obligated to take any action in regard to the broad questions involved al least until it has received replies tC it's memorandum to the entente allies Consideration is being given to the advisability of amending the instruc tions to port authorities in regard t( the rights of merchantmen to arm for defensive purposes and the limita tons of armament.
 The government might 1t was sug' gested, revise it's instructions so as to permit merchant vessels to clear with guns of caliher useful solely for defensive purpose and yet not large enough to be effective against 1 SuDmaflneS at d ulSlt'ilOe ii"A" "

 The entire matter now turns about the question of what constitutes de- fensive armament A high official indicated the department had vlrtu- ally decided it would not deny dur ing the course of the war the armed merchant ships of the entente ae- nor.. An \ rnnricar1 rnrtS

Y. M. C. A. SHOP MEETING
AT CUTLERY PLANT.
Rev. Joel 3. SIocum, D. D., Gave Prac-
teal Talk at Noon Gathering,

It's great thing to get lift. It's
even a greater thing to give lift, said
Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., at the
Y. NJ. c. A. shop meeting conducted
at the international Silver company's
plant Tuesday noon. Mrs. George T.
Slocum and Mrs. Lord sang a duet.
In part, DR.. Slocum said:
In some parts of the country they
have this expression: will you have
la lift?" The man who says this is in
a wagon and you are tfamping along
from your long journey on the dusty
highway and you are very glad to take
a lift" SO you climb aboard
It's great thing to get a lift. It's
an even greater thing to give a lift.
There are a good many illustrations
in the world Of nature. Here is one:
Some of the best grindstones in the
world are found in the Bay of F'undy.
But they are down at the bottom of
the sea. The tides are highest there
of any place in the world-60 feet be-
tween low and high water. 1t is very
evident that they do not get the grind
stones at high tide. But the high tide
has very important part to play
When the tide is out, the grindstone
men do their work. They harness up
he great stones and chain them to
immense fat boats. Then the tide
when it comes back lifts the great
barges, and they in turn lift the stones
There is no power like that of the
rising tide. 1t suggests the measure
less strength of omnipotent God. In
getting these grindstones men did all
they could, and then turned the job
| over to God. And God is very glad to
| give US life. He said: take hold
{ f my strength" 1t will not be long
now, we hope, before the farmer will
| be putting in the seed. After he does
l hof 81
| Then God gets in His work and lifts
that seed into a great harvest. The
sailor spreads his canvas, but Gods
winds fill the sails. Everywhere there
is cooperation, man working with God
| and God working with man.
But the lifting that requires the
outlay of the greatest energy is the
kind that raises our moral life up
into higher place. Over in England
they object to our word elevator. They
prefer the word lift. And it is a good
straightforward word. After all. thai
is precisely what the elevator does; il
lifts. The lifts of God are running al
the time. Gods messengers are fire.
Qrently saving: Going up?" 1 don't
mean to say that they are all the time
asking if we are going up to heaven
No, they are not asking that half sc
often as they are urging US to accept
the invitation to go up to a higher
plane of life, to nobler thinking and
doing.
And we need the power that only
He can give; for there is harder work
than raising grindstones from the bee
of the Bay of Fundy. 1t is very hard
at times, to do what is right, there are
SO many evil things pulling US away
We need more resistance than we arr
able to offer to the powers of sin. Blu
there is one who has lifted US and who
will continue to lift us as often as WE
call upon Him for help. And every
me we take lift from Him let III
remember that we should give lift t.
someone whom we can help.

Permanent Relief for
Chronic Constipation
Knowledge and Practice of
Correct Daily Habit the
Great Essential

Constipation is a condition affecting
all classes Of all people and can be
permanently relieved only by acquir-
ing habits of regularity.
The most natural time for the elm
NATIVE process is in the morning
wien both the muscular and nervous
systems are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readily. II
is an excellent plan to take a mild lax
alive at bedtime. Cathartics and pur-
gatives, that by the violence of their
quick action shock and disturb the
system, should not be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that is
very dependable, and which does not
grippe or otherwise disturb the organs
involved, is found in a combination OF
simple laxative herbs known as DR.,
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin that can be
bought at the drug store for fifty cents
a bottle.
Mrs. c. c. Allen, 215 Foam St, New
Monterey, Calf. wrote to DR.. Cald-
well that she found DIR. CaldwelI'e

for constipation and distress OF the
stomach after eating. 1t should be In

the security of the steel safe Of the
Imperial Russian Legation at Athens.
Certainly one of the most extraor-
binary and beautiful sights of the
whole world is convent-crowned Mt.
AthOs. The Chalcidic pninsula, stretch
ed south into the Aegean Sea like
three fingers of a great hand, has the
mountain itself as the nail on the east
ernmost finger. But the mountain Is
merely a sort of lofty marble-white
and oaken-green landmark. on the
garlanded sides of which are hun
dreds of shrines and huts of individ-
ual anchOritcs. The whole peninsula
itself is the garden ground of twenty
converts, most Of them either at the
waters edge or perched high upon
cliffs or mounted on the terraced hill
sides overlooking the water. Their
architecture, their extraordinary set
ting, stages a scene for the passer-
by on the deck of a coasting steamer,
rarely to be equalled in the entire
world.
Ncrthernmost, on the western slope
of the peninsula is the monastery of
Konstamonites, possibly the oldest of
the converts and certainly one Of the
most picturesque. Its red roofs and
| incredibly lofty gray walls, Widowed
| like most of the convent walls, only
/ in their upper half, rise from a ring OF
| Expresses like a fairy castle. Here
| and there near the top of ramparts
that seem those of fortress, little

Great, early in the fifth century, nc
one quite knows when. 1t still has q

Your heart works night and day

1t is Of the utmost Importance that it

STUDY SUBMARINES
AT GRoToN PLANT.
Representatives of Spanish and CHI

HCSS NdNISS SOtnS ~ GGSaIi'
Half a dozen lieutenants of the
Spanish navy have arrived in New
London to study submarine construc-
ton at the plant of the New London
Ship and Engine company in Groton.
Capt. Manuel Wlobis of the Spanish
navy has been there several months
studying submarines at rhe Groton
plant. He makes his headquarters at
the Croker house. The heutenants
will be under the captains supervision.
All of the lieutenants are first clasc
engineers. They are young men, prac-
tically at the outset of their careers,
just as are the Chinese who are at the
ship and engine company plant study
ing submarine construction.
The current war has impressed all
nations with the Importance of the
submarine and they are hurryjng to
learn as much as they can of subma-
rine construction and operation, which
accounts for the presence of the Span
ish and Chinese officers at the ship
and engine company plant. 1t is ex-
Tected that both Spain and China will
place big orders for submarines.
