one that it may be worth while to copy
the example of a woman who determined
to get out of the rut Her plan was to
make list every Saturday night of the
things that ought to be done the follow

routine: letters to answer flowers to re-

borrowed books to return, and many
other things that would suggest them
selves. Pin such list by your bureau

glance at it and decide which items to
take up that day. AT night cross off the

POPE |S AGA N SEEKING TO
 END WAR

ROME. April 1. - Premier Herbert Asuuith, the British prime minister, who is in Rome conferring with the Italian ministry on important details of the coming summer campaign against the Teutonic allies, appeared on the balcony of the British embassy today in answer to the calls of great multitude. which had assembled in the street outside The people cheered wildly when Asquith appeared to sa- Iute them, and thousands of Italian and British flags were waved in his honor. He made short talk from the balcony, saving: We are here in Home to further the victory of right and jus tice, and We know that God is on our side" After conferring with the ltal- ian ministers, Asquith called at the Vatican and was closeted with the Pope for a half hour. Some unoffi- cial reports claim that the subject of the conversation between the pontift and Asquith was the hostile attitude which the Irish in American have taken to England's cause in the pres ent war. Other reports say that As duith visited the Vatican at the re quest of the Pope, who is making an other effort to bring the war to an end.

RUSSIAN LOSSES IN POLAND
 140,000

BERLIN, April 1. - The war or flee stated today that the Russian of fensive appeared to be exhausted, and that comparative quiet had descended on southern Poland, and the Dvinsk- Riga region, where the heaviest at tacks of the Slav armies had been de- Ivered. From February 28 to March 28 the Russians kept up the pounding on Hindenberg's forces along the Dyina. attacking large sectors of the front at the same time. It is believed that they used thirty divisions Of troops in this region alone, compris- ing over five hundred thousand men. The expenditure of ammunition by the Russians was enormous, they firing their guns with a lavishness that has not been known heretofore in the eastern theatre of war, and rivalling some of the artillery bombardments in France for intensity and tremen- dous expenditure. A resume of the Russian offensive shows that they gained no permanent success at any point, the small gains won in the first days of March being afterwards re captured by the Austrians and Ger mans, who delivered heavy counter attacks. The war office estimates that the Russian casualties cannot possibly be under 10000 men.

GERMANY 5 WAR PLANTS EMPLOY
 OVER MILLION

PARIS. April 1. - Germany now has 100000 men making munitions, ac- cording to Senator Charles Humbert, in an article in the Journals, in which he says: "Krupps employed 42,OO0 hands at Essen before the war. This figure now reaches 115,000, but Els sen is only the principal factory. At other works the number of workers has risen from 6,OOO to 15,O00; from 14.OOO to 30,00O; from 5000 to 30,00O; from 5000 to 27,O0O; while the Bo- chum and Gelsen-E -Ekirchen works now employ 25,OO0 hands instead of 10000 in time of peace.
 There also exist in Germany two other enterprises exclusively devoted to the making of artillery, namely Thyssens, which employs S0,000 men and the Ehradt works. which employ 100 900, instead of 3O,000 and 10000 formerly.
 Thus over 42O,O00 men on the other side of the Rhine are turning out war material, without counting the in numerable necessary workshops em- ploying more than double that number in the manufacture of rifles. cart ridges, shells. explosives and asphyxi- ating gas - or a total of over 1,200,- 900 men employed in various war in dustries without including men who work in the factories for the produc- tion of raw material"

JAPAN BENEFITS GREATLY FROM
 THE: WAR

TOXIC, April 1. - Japanese econo mists are interested in the economic effect of the war upon labor condl- tions in Japan. The investigation made in the representative parts Of the empire showed that during the months immediately following the be- ginning of the war the business de- pression was so marked that many manufacturers were obliged to dis charge laborers, whereas later on the conditions made a sudden turn for the better. and a boom in business, large ly resulting from the heavy orders for war munitions, made big increase In the demand for laborers.

ENGLISH OBJECT TO USE GERMAN
 MADE SHOES

LONDON, April 1. - The English people are beginning to believe that they are wearing shoes made of Ger man leather through the fact that many of their shoes are imported from Switzerland. where the manufacturers are known to use large quantities of German leather.

Information was given in the house of parliament recently that the use of German leather to the extent of 25 per cent in shoes import ed from Switzerland is permissible.

SENATE LIKELY TO CONFIRM
 BRANDE|S

WASHINGTON, April 1. - The first stage of the long fight which has been under way to prevent Louis D. Bran deis, of Boston, from being confirmed as justice of the supreme court, sue ceeding Justice Lamar, was ended this morning, when the subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee voted by to to confirm the presidents choice. The vote was strictly on party lines. the three Democrats voting to sustain the appointment, and the two Republicans voting against Brandeis. The matter will now be considered by the full committee on receipt of a re port. The Republicans will present a minority report against the Boston at torney, and it is understood that the full committee is about evenly divided, the result being in doubt, although if party lines are followed by the full committee, Brandeis will have ma jority.

FOR SUBMARINE
 WARFARE

BERLIN, April 1. - The submarine question which has been deeply agi- tating internal German politics ever since the resignation of Admiral Von Tirpitz. because the Kaiser refused to sanction the unlimited use of the submarine as an engine of war against the merchant ships of the allies, has finally crystallized, and the question of supporting the governments stand in the matter will be debated in the Reichstag. At conference which was attended by representatives of all the political parties in the Reichstag, with one exception, the Socialists. a motion was made to support resolu- tion for presentation to Chancellor Bethmann-H Hollweg, which would en- courage the unrestricted use of the under water craft against merchant shipping. The resolution was debated warmly, and while it was not adopted unanimously, it was carried by a re- spectable majority. The caucus did not bind its members to vote for such a resolution if the matter came up in parliament, but provided simply for the presentation of the matter to the chancellor for his consideration. The resolution says, in part: This conference believes that the German submarine has proven itself to be an effective weapon against the English methods of warfare, based on the starvation of the civilian population of Germany through the blockade, and extension of the doctrine of contra band of war The German Reichstag expresses the conviction that it is ne- cessary under such circumstances that We should make use of our submar- ines, and all other military means. as a guarantee of future peace, and as a safeguard to the future greatness of Germany"

Very few persons have been found who say they saw the Zeppelins, and were it not for the continuous explosions of the bombs, nothing would have indicated the presence of the enemy. The great height at which the airships flew pre- vented accurate fire on the part of the British anti-aircraft guns, but one Zeppelin was struck and brought down by gun fire.

The word "tenor" is the same

WHERE HEARING CEASES.

Experiments have, been made
showing, it is said, that a vibration
of sound having an amplitude Of less
than one twelve-milionth Of a cent?
meter could still affect the sense of
hearing. Such a vibration would be
so short that it would have to be en-
larged one hundred times before the
most powerful microscope could rem
der it visible, supposing that it were
susceptible of being seen at all. Aged
persons, it is said, do not hear high
notes which are audible to young peo
pie, and there is reason to believe
that babies hear notes inaudible tC
