Washington, April II. - President
Wilson and the cabinet went over the
submarine crisis again and reafirmed
their determination to bring the sit
uation with Germany to an issue.
The decision to inform Germany
that recent accumulation of evidence
of ships destroyed in submarine war
fare leads to the inevitable conclusion
that her promises to the United States
are not being fulfilled remained I'M
changed. The time of dispatching a
communication to Berlin appeared to
be the only point undecided.
May Give Notice of Break.
In congress a report was widely cir
culated that the forthcoming note
would in itself give a notice of sever
ance of diplomatic relations. There
was nothing to substantiate the story
anywhere in official quarters. Cabi-
net officers did not deny it upon the
ground that they had all been bound
in honor by the president not to speak
on the question.
There were repeated indications
that the note would be a statement OF
the American case up to date without
anything in the nature of an ultimatum
and still would leave the way open for
Germany to avoid the long-feared
break in diplomatic relations. 1t was
plain, however, that it would be in
tended as the American governments
last word.

INDIA THE LAND OF CASTE
lnexorable Rules Of Living, Which Ar
Obeyed Absolutely by Those
They Concern.

-Four years ago, up in the north west
Of India, a child belonging to u
Brahmin family fell into a we'll All
the men of the family were away, and
the women were helpless. The servant
known as the sweeper--a very low
caste man-offered to climb down into
the we'll and rescue the child His
suggestion was regarded by the WON
en- as scandalous, for his touch would
have defiled the drinking water of the
household and also the drowning boy
Hence the little fellow was left in the
well, to be fished out dead some time
later by the clean hands of a Brahmin
Rather death than defilement from the
touch of an ''untouchable."
At present there are upward of 49,
900 castles and subcastes in India, most
OF them belonging to one of the three
groups known as Brahmins, Shudras
and Outcasts. Individuals belonging
to the latter of these groups are con-
sidered SO impure in nature that to
touch them brings defilement-hence
their common designation, 'the I'M
touchables." The higher castles, though
relatively tolerant of each other, must
not dine together nor intermarry, ON
pain Of social persecution which, for
most individuals, is almost unendur-
able.-James Bjssett Pratt in World

To Repair DAMAGED Mirror

TO restore mirror from which tho
silver backing has come off in spots.
proceed as follows: First remove
the sllVering from the glass around
the scratch so that the clear scace
VIII be about a quarter of an inch
wide. Thoroughly clean the clear
space with clean cloth and alcohol
Near the edge of a broken piece of
looking glass mark out a piece of sill
vering little larger than the space
on the mirror; place a very minute
drop OF mercury in the center of this
patch and allow it to remain there for
few minutes; clear away the silver
Ing around the patch and slide tho
latter from the glass. Place it over
the clear spot on the mirror and gent
iy press it down with a TUT of cotton
This is a difficult operation, and wa
would advise little practice before
trying it on a large mirror.

ALMOST LIMIT OF MEANNESS
Two Specimens of Real Closeness
That Are Vouched For.

There is very old story extant
about Connecticut woman who was
noted for her meanness. She cheap
ened everything, and prices never
could be put SO low that she did not
object to them.
One day she went through tho mar
ket, and after chaffering for awhile,
stopped in front of market stall and
priced some cornmeal.
"A levy bushel," said the dealer.
She shifted and examined, and
hummed and hawed, until finally the
dealer said, sarcastically:
Il tell you what I'll do, Mrs. Jen-
kins. I'll give you bushel of that
meal"
Mrs. Jenkins shifted and examined
again, and then asked
Is it sifted?"
This is paralleled by the account of
a Maine man who went into market to
buy small piece of liver.
How much?" he asked.
L will make you a present Of that
said the butcher, pleasantly.
The man put on his most knowing
look, stepped back, rubbed his hands
together, looked the butcher square In
the eye, and said:
Amt that rather high?"

Cutting Food Bills In Half.

there would be not SO much waste
An Italian or French family could
live on what a well-to-do American
family throws away. The European
housewife would know how to make
tasty what is left over. That is whv
we waste more.
An American family once hired an
Italian as cook. He also did all the
marketing, which, with the advent of
the telephone, is rapidly becoming an
other lost art of the American house
wife. 1t was found that the Italian
cook reduced the family's food bills
80 per cent.

YUAN sHIH-KAI,s FAILURE.

welLinfoaned American on his way to the
mainland United States from China said to the
Star Bulletin last fall:
Yuan cannot carry through his plan for a
monarchy without the aid of some powerful
outside nation Japan perhaps. The Chinese
are slow to feel resentment but they feel it
powerfully now against Yuan They are slow
to get into action, but they are getting into
action now. They like Yuan as president, but
hey feel that he has betrayed national trust
by secretly planning to make himself emperor
If he persists, they will destroy him. China
Will not return to the monarchy
How true were his words the events since
then have shown. japan, at first seemingly
scqniescent, yes, active, in aiding the monarch
ial plans, later informed Yuan that this was
not propitious time to carry the plans into
ELECT. It was diplomatic way of declaring
Iokio's opposition to Yuan as emperor. The
internal opposition has already grown to strong
Proportions. Now wave after wave Of revolt
has dashed against the Yuan rock and It is
crumbling under the blows. The provinces are
declaring their independence, the government
troops are sustaining defeats.

MUST ELIMINATE VILLA HIMSELF.

Uncle Sam S work will not be finished until
Gen Francisco Villa is run down and captured.
Villa IS power is broken now, say the Carran-
zistas but their wish is father to the thought.
If he escapes from the American columns he
will be one of the great national heroes; mil
lions of poems will hear Of him as wonderful
warrior and will do what they can to aid him.
Because he has been twice or thrice defeated
does not end his influence or his potential
power in shaping further revolutions.
Every man who followed Villa on the raid
of the little town of Columbus; every man who
rode with him on that long retreat to Nami-
quipa; every man who survived the smashing
attack of Col. Dodd's cavalry column-all these
might be annihilated, but SO long as Villa is
alive and free he is as much menace as ever.
He can gather an army-4of the accepted Mexi-
can proportions overnight; he can continue
his career of outrage and carnage; in few
weeks he e.would be able again to meet the Car
ranzistas and probably defeat them in battle,
for he is better fighter and better leader
than any man Carranza can send against him.
The moral effect of a withdrawal of the
american troops now-or any time until Villa
IS killed or captured-w6uld be disastrous
Every ragged bandit leader south of the Rio
Grande would be encouraged to set up In op-
position to Carranza and to harry the border
country. There ought to be no foolish senti-
mentality now about letting Carranza finish the
Job. He won't because he can't Uncle Sam
must see it through The Vera Cruz incident
leaves bad taste in American mouths to this
0ay and it and other incidents are the lifeblood
Of the bandit campaigns. The one satisfactory
thing about the occupation of Vera Cruz and
subsequent withdrawal is that the. American
soldiers scleaned up the city and conducted
themselves SO finely that they won the liking
and respect of everybody there, including the
prejudiced natives
No, this is no time for quitting Mexico. We
have got to eliminate Villa.
