Having said nothing concerning
BARRIERS for several hours we breeze
forth this cool and frosty morning for
the purpose of rcmarking that some
good stuff is pulled within the con-
fines and limitations Of tonsorial par
lors
In the use of the word pulled we do
not mean the literal translation and
have no reference to the whiskcrs
that are pulled.
What we want TO say Is that they. at
times. execute some pretty clever
capers.
As an example we call vour attcn-
tion to the Columbus (Ohiol barber
who has posted a notice in the window
Of his establishment announcing to
the SHAY ing public at large that a
shave can be secured for five eggs.
Those customers who are shy on
eggs may secure a shave tor - spuds.
Common or garden variety of spuds
are meant, We suppose. as no specif-
cations seemed to have been attached
to the announcement.
However. admitting the institution
of the aforementioned proposition *
something of an innovation we are
forced to claim that shrves cost in the
ohio metropolis
Computing the cost on the basis of
five eggs per shave ana computing
the cost of eggs by the popular price
Of four-bits per dozen, VIC find that
five eggs are reasonably worth at
least 20 1-3 cents.
Whereupon we find that in order TO
save money on shaves our admirers
are advised against Columbus

The Road to Fame,

William Dean Howolls was talking
In his cottage IN kittery Point. Me,
about writer who. after good be-
ginning. had deeenerated into a pro-
ducer OF trash.

got discouraged with the moderate
sale of his good work and now hopes
to sell his poor work abundantly.

No White House Comment

At the white House no comment
whatever was made on the note itself
nor on the two statements by Sccre-
t6ry Lansing
The German embassy gave no oVl.
dences Of concern over the sudden de-
velopments.
Entente diplomats. at first at an
utter loss how to handle the unex.
pected situation, became convinced
that clearer understanding of the
necessities and purposes Of the United
States proved that their fear OF a
move favorable to Germany was not
contemplated and that this country
would not try to force peace on Eu-
rope. Their view grew that tho
United States feared that unless tho
peace proposals 20 thru now period
of ruthlessness and retaliation may
set in on both sidesN which will In
evitably force this country into action,
II is indicated, therefore, that the
allied diplomats will advise their gov
ernments to view the note in friend
ly spirit and go as far as possible
toward meeting the wishes of the
United states. No indication was
vouchsafed however. as to whether
the replies will be Identical or indi-
vidual In form or general or specific

The Explanation.

81 have learned from several
quarters that "a wrong impression
was made 10y the statement that
made this morning and | wish to
correct that impression.
"My intention was to suggest
the very vital and necessary inter
est which this country, as one Of
the neutral nations. has I'm the
possible terms which the bellig-
erents may have in mind and |
did not intend to intimate that the
government was considering any
change in its policy of neutrality
which it has consistently pursued
in the face of constantly increas-
ing difficulties.
II regret that my words were
open to any other construction AZ
now realize that they were.
think that the whole tone and
language Of the note to the bel
ligercnts show the purpose with
out further comment on my part.
II Is needless to say that | am
unreservedlv in support Of that
purpose and hope to see 1t ac-
ccpted"

foreign diplomats. many of whom
were calling at the state department
to receive their copies of the note dis
patched to their capitals.
II became apparent that the secrc.
tary's statement was not fully ap.
proved at the White House and that
there was question as to the wisdom
Of making any comment that might
be regarded as an addition to the note
The White House was concerned lest
any word reach the foreign capitals to
be construed as indicating that tho
American note was anything but what
it indicated on its face. So after n
conference between President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing the second
statement was formally prepared and
distributed at the state department.
II follows:

Within the room, Bibbs, much an

He wished they wouldn't stand talking
near his door when he was trying to
write. He had just taken from his
trunk the manuscript Of a poem be-
gun the preceding Sunday afternoon
and he had some ideas he wanted to
fix upon paper before they maliciously
seized the first opportunity to vanish,
for they were but gOssamer. Bibbs
was pleased with the beginnings of his
poem, and if he could carry it through
he meant to dare greatly with 1.-THE
would venture it upon an editor. For
he had his plan Of life now; his day
would be Of manual labor and think

he could think in cadences for poems,
to the crashing of the strong machines
and if his father turned him out of
home and out of the works, he would
work elsewhere and live elsewhere. His
father had the right and it mattered
very little to Bibbs-he faced the pros
pect Of a working mans lodging house
without trepidation. He could find q
