The beginning Of the present state

peared, having reached the conclusion
that they were accomplishing nothing

DECIDES TO
ORDER NO BLOCKADE
Storm Of Protest From us. and
Sweden CoOIs Ardor, Papers
Hint.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The British gov
ernment has virtually decided to stand
pat" on its present trade regulations
and will mako no announcement or a
blockade of the entire German coast
I'M Parliament. this afternoon. the ma
jority OF well-informed parliamentary
writer's agreed today. Only a few
papers cling to the belief that the cabi-
net will announce a radical change OF
policy.
The net thrown about Germany by
the existing regulations may be tight
ened in some respects. But 1t is the
gen@'al belief OF the London newspapers
that the cabinet has decided against
any revolutionary change in policy.
The storm of protest raised In the
United States and in sweden, some of
the papers broadly hinted, has cooled
the ardor of advocates of the blockade,
II II has not had its effect upon the
government. The newspapers gave
prominent display to the warlike utter
ances OF the Swedish premier In his
Riksdag speech yesterday, and the
DPily Telegraph and the Daily News
cautioned 'the government against any
action likely to involve Great Britain

Word From White House That
Extravaganza Is Banned
Causes Sadness.
BIG REVOLT is THREATENED
Presidents Program for Ma
tional Defense Threatened by
Dissatisfied congressman.

Legislators who have always re-
sponded nimbly to the cry rally
round the pork barrel, boys" are
disconsclate lot today. The air about
the Capitol is 1lled with gloom germs
and grouches are prevalent on the
floor.
Word has come from the White
House that there is TO be no distribu-
tion OF pork" at this session.
Che attitude of the Administration
has brought about a situation which
threatens a big revolt in Congress,
and the prospect is that the Presi-
dent will find himself faced with a
condition wherein the preparedness
program will be endangered by insist
enCe of members that il there is to
be no pork" there will be no large
sums voted for army and navy eX-
pansion.
Wilson Gives His Views.
Congressman Claude Kitchin, the
majority leader. talked with the Pres
ident yesterday about the legislative
situation. During that talk Mr..
Kitchin received a distinct impress
sion that oil pork barrels" rolled up
% the White House door would be
shuntcd into the cellar and there
buried
the Presidents views on such matters
as a tariff commission an anti-dump-
ing clause, early adjournment ana
revenue legislation. Mr.. KitChin was
obliged to impart the information that
the President hadn't included in his
program the so-called pork barrel"
bills.
In fact. the majority leader brought
back to the Capitol the hint that the
President would not stand for AN om-
nibus public buildings bill, under any
circumstances, and that the river and
hRrbor bill must be confined to the
maintenance of existing projects. Botn
the Public Buildings and Rivers and
Harbors Committees were at work on
good-sized bills.
May Kill Good Roads Bill.
The House passed, only yesterday, the
ShackeIford bill appropriating, $25, 600 OhO
for '"good roads, This labor appears
to have been In vain,, because the PRESS
dent is not likely to accept a good roads
bill. embarking upon a new field of
Federal expenditures, when he has
turned down such old legislative stand
bys as public buildings and rivers ana
harbors.
Indications are that the good roads
bill, sent over to the Senate today, will
never pass that body, despite all the
ferVid oratory uttered in its behalf IN
the lower chamber and the alleged
pressing need for Federal contributions
In fact, there is very little pork
for distribution at the Capitol these
days, and it's election year, too. An
empty-handed group of legislators will
go home for the primaries during the
summer.

to Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that

Second, avoid those that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that

If Fatimas, for instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
any one of those three counts,
