 WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-That the greater portion of the membership of the house of representatives Is decId- edly In favor of the proposal to warn Americans from travelling on armed belligerent vessels, was the statement of Speaker Clark today at the con ference with President Wilson.
 Clark told the president that If resolutions of warning such as the president opposed were forced to vote In the house at the present time time 1t would pass by d majority of two to one. Clark was optimistic following the conference however, and stated that he though the matter would adjust itself within a short period.

Two distinct facts became clear TO
Cora Temple as a result of the Coun-
try club party. One was sense VI
power to create a following Oh her

longing of Carter Brett to be more
than figure head in the great real
estate enterprise of which he was
president
Her plan of injecting ruggedness and
simplicity into group of human De
ings bored with the stereotyped
amuselnents of the rich had worked
better than she expected. By her orig
inality of costume and by her novel
suggestions for entertainment she Spit
the company into two factions. Had
not Rose Brett, undisputed leader,
been aghast at her own inability to
strike her conventional keynote? Cora
chuckled at the remembrance.

who had been so wrapped up in busi-
ness that he had never learned the

Gent she gave him little chance to
nut his gifts to use. Although clean
minded and personable, women never
cared for him. Cast into the shadow
by his brilliant wife, poor Carter
Rrett felt actual gratitude when Cora
set herself to interest him.

Fort Deposit has been religiously
stirred from center to circumference by
the strong and wonderful sermons
preached here this week by Rev. j. O..
Hanes of Birmingham. Long before the
hour of service, the big church is filed
to its utmost capacity, and standing
room is at premium. During the day
services every business house in town
closes it doors in order that not a
single word spoken by DR.. Hanes will
escape these business men. So great is
this revival that people within radius
of Is miles, as well as those from diff
ferent towns, are well represented at
every service. On every street corner
and in every home you can hear DR..
Hanes' name spoken with the highest
praies for the great good he has done
