asNGaruw In .Ianan.

Maru is the Japanese word for moth
er. All Japanese regard their country
of Japan as their mother, and in
stead of using the equivalent of the
word fatherland they invariably say
'tMaru'' (mother) when referring to
the land of Japan. Their use of the
word as part of the names of ships is
to show their reverence for and to
honor their mother, Japan. and at the
same time to distinguish the ships as
belonging to their motherland.

Washington, March s.-With con-
gress standing squarely behind him.
President Wilson was prepared to go
ahead with the submarine negotiations
with the central powers. After an all
day contest the house last night an
swered the presidents demand for an
expression Of sentiment on the armed
ship issue.
BY vote Of 276 to 142, the house
tabled the McLemore resolution to
warn Americans off armed ships. This
action. together with that in the SEN
ate in killing similar resolution. have
freed the president from the bounds Of
embarrassment forced upon him by
dissentions in congress.
The presidents next step probably
will be to answer Germany's last pro-
posal to settle the Lusitania case. In
this the United States will ask further
assurances guaranteeing that the new
submarine campaign will not endanger
American lives.
