New York, Jan. A prompt sever

United States can adopt if it is deter

Of the last few days bear out the views
Of British naval men that Germany,
foiIed in the North sea, would put her
submarines at work in the Mediterra-
mean.
Col. Harvey is of the opinion that
Germany and Austria, despite their re-
cent notes, will continue to play fast
and loose with us, and, if they lay the
blame for these last atrocities on Turk

gin writing notes to Turkey?"

one chooses to call her at the opera
house is interesting Those who were
lucky enough to get in were mystified
with what they heard and saw. 1t was

We're informed where to find lost articles

the opportunity Of seeing this wonderful

interesting and instructive performance
which appeals strongly to most people,

the very extreme humiliation for us
Germany and Austria, it is clear, regard
themselves as in nowise bound by then
assertions in notes to our government.
"There is just one thing to do. Our
course could not be palmer. We have to
establish the fact as to the nationality
of the submarine responsible for the
losses and then break diplomatic inter
course at once. No delay in this should
be eountenanced. Let it be for Germany
or Austria to decide whether break in
relations means war.
"The policy of Germany and Austria
has been one of fast and loose with us
from the beginning. / do not believe
that it was an Austrian submarine that
sunk the Ancona, but that the respon-
sbility was put on Austria by Germany.
A naval expert in the English govern
ment assured me that he had satisfac-
tory proof that Austria has no subma
rine of the size of the one that sank the
Ancona. In the natural order of events,
it appears that we can expect the blame
for the most recent submarine attacks
to be taken by Turkey.
1T has been expected in England for
some time that German submarine OPP
erations would be begun in the Medter
ranean once her operations in the North
sea were found to be too costly.
Il have information from an official
source that 10 German submarines were
sunk by the British. Why this success
has not been made much of by the Brit
sh government | do not know unless
there has been desire to keep the pub
lie from knowing their foe had that
many mdersea boats.
"One Of the most wonderful safeguards
or shipping between Dover and Calais
s what might be called an iron-clad
hannel. There are continuous steel nets
between the ports. The channel is not
,ery wide, but wide enough for the pas
age of two boats, and it is guarded by |

Unless Destruction Of Life
Is Halted U. S. May Be
Drawn into War
FOREIGN RELATIONS
SENATORS ANXIOUS
Chairman Stone Will Con-
suit with the Presi-
dent To-day

|. Washington, Jan. 4.-Profound inter
est in the submarine controversy wit
the central powers was aroused in con
gressional circles yesterday.
This was evidenced not alone by tn
fact that Senator Stone, chairman o
the foreign relations committee, callet
on Secretary Lansing, and will call OF
President Wilson to-day, but by th'
apparent anxiety of different members
of the committees over the Persia sink
/ ing and over the still fresher disaster tt
the Glengyle.
The question asked everywhere was;
! "Where is submarine war going to stopf'
Undoubtedly, there is deep-seated
feeling in Congress that unless some
thing occurs soon to halt the wanton de-
struction of life by submarines this
country, in spite of all its efforts to keep
peace, will be drawn closer to rupture
than ever, and perhaps into the vortex
of war itself.
Discussion was renewed more vigor-
ously than ever about the capitol yes
terday as to whether the submarine is
sue should be submitted to Congress.
While President Wilson has not spok-
en- on the subject, there is substantial
reason to believe that if the difficulty
gets to the point Of a break with Aus
tria or Germany the president viii not
take the matter up formally with Con-
gress.
1t is known that some OF his close
advisers feel he ought not to do so.
They point out that what the country
now will want, unless the responsible
power, presumably Austria, quickly dis
avows responsibility and makes amends,
will be prompt and vigorous action.
If the issue is submitted to Congress
there will not in all likelihood, be prompt
and vigorous action. On the contrary,
there will be fury of debate, in which
the whole subject Of international COM
plications growing out Of the war will
be trayersed Pro-Germans will assail
England and pro-nllies win assail the
central powers. In a diplomatic sense,
there will be nothing gained and, per !
haps, much lost.
In the sense that if the president |
submits the issue to Congress, he will shift |
part of the responsibility to that body, |
the administration might tighten its I
burden to some extent.
While the situation yesterday looked /
grave, it was also recognized in Congress
circles that the very gravity may result
n a quicker and more definite and sat
sfaetory solution of the submarine CON
.roversy than would be possible other
wise. That the conditions obtaining at
present cannot go on is generally real
zed.
There seemed to be a growing impress
ion in official quarters that to-day the
PRESIDENT may call the Congress leaders
ogether, and acquaint them fully with
he situation. /,

SEEKING HAPPINESS.
Little Things That Make Living Joy
Are Not Always Appreciated.


We are told that happiness comes by
pieces and that it is these small bits
linked together that make our lives
worth while. Some of us are not con.
tent to take our happiness by degrees
or at intervals. We want it all the
time in big pieces. and II we cannot
have II that way we think that we are
deprived Of our natural rights and look
upon ourselves as injured beings.
1t is a rather singular expression Of
human nature how happiness affects
the individual With some of US it
makes us friendlier toward others and
anxious that they should experience
like joys; with others 1t makes us too
satisfied with ourselves TO think very
much of our neighbors.
Perhaps those of us who know what
the joy of living means have expert
enced both of these attitudes at diff
ferent periods of our lives and are In
position, therefore. to appreciate
varying viewpoint, but even so it is
only after we lose something of that
joy of living and have found out for
ourselves that there are shadows which
no amount of sunlight can dispense
that we can readily appreciate the
blessing Of whatever happiness may
find it's way into our lives.
The little things that count so much
in our intercourse with each other are
not always regarded as highly as they
should be, and for this reason we pass
by much that would give us joy If we
only knew how and where to find it,
