POLICY
u BEFORE CABINET
(By United Press Leased wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
Washington, Jan. THE govern
ment's poliG In the sinking OF the
British liner Persia, with its vast toll
Of human life. including one Ameri-
can. was considered today by both
the presidents cabinet and congress,
The cabinet meeting was the first
In the month.
The president and Secretary Lam
sing presented the scant evidence at
hand regarding the incident. At the
same time both the senate and house
foreign committees took up the case
Informally and mapped out a pro-
gram for cooperation with the White
House and state department. This
called for putting auietus on incen-
diary speeches In both houses.
Authorities regard 1t as unthink-
able that Austria will deny responsi-
bility for the torpedoing and with
hold information II one OF her under
sea boats sent the liner to the bot
tom. In event 1t was an Austrian
vessel, 1t is expected that Austria will
disayow the incident, unless the Per-
sia fed or was subject to an unwarn-
ed attack by reason OF being armed.
The latter defense might bring the
question Of arming merchant ships
to head. Meanwhile, the govern
ment has altered its attitude toward
such arming, but 1t is waiting full
information as to how effective the
Al incher aboard the Persia really
was.
The cabinet and the foreign COM
mittees considered policies. One OF
the points in this connection was for
an understanding with the central
powers as to future submarine at
tacks; a second was the possibility OF
putting forth declaration that II
an American citizen in an unarmed
vessel which did not attempt to fee
were injured or jeopardized the ma
tion owning the attacking submarine
must accept responsibility. Another
point for discussion was the issuance
of caution notice for Americans to
select carefully the vessel on which
they will travel, and avoid as far as
possible involving this government.
The foreign Office has replied to
Ambassador Penfleld's request for in
formation by saying It has no report
concerning the Persia, the state de-
partment announced today. This may
be due to the fact that the submarine
commander has not had time to re-
port or II may indicate that an Aus
trian submarine was not responsible.

not far distant.

Yes, the big sale is going on.

If you were visitor at the store
yesterday you will agree with us that
we are surely and certainly closing
out. if store crowded with buyers is
any indication.
You know we must close out this
entire stock by the last of next week.
and we cut the prices again to make
sure of the result. And. judging by
the way the people flocked to the
store yesterday and grabbed the bar
gains, there is no doubt about every
instrument being taken.
Indeed, at the rate they went yes
terday some people are sure to be dis
appointed If they wait until the last
day to come and make their selec-
ton. AT the prices now marked on
the Pianos everyone of them should
be taken in the next few days.
Consider for a moment the class of
instruments that are being closed out
here at such price sacrifice.
Not makes you never heard of, but
the kind you have known all your life,
the old standard makes. the good
makes. And you can buy one at n
price even less than asked for the
cheap, shoddy kind at any other time
or place.
Why. the saving you can make here
during our Thirty-fourth Anniversary
Sale will pay for liberal musical edu-
cation for your children.
Is it not an opportunity?
Why procrastinate?
Here are Pianos marked in plain
figures. at price2 so low your aston
ishment will be great at the discount
we are making. But we must sell
them, and cost or former prices will
not deter us.

Piano at this sale will mean saving
to you of $780, SITS, 5000 to $275.
