sonified; toward the middle of the
week old ]. Pluvius took a hand in
the proceedings and he hit a homer
with several days of downpour; then
the gentleman at the North Pole sent
his best bet down south and the in
habitants hunted for the warmest
hooks, while the coal dealers hustled
up more wagons to handle the demand
for coal. And now, to cap the strange
antics Of the weather, the days are get

Secretary Lansing said that he did
not intend to transfer negotiations to
Berlin, but that they would be conduct
ed by Ambassador Gerard and the
Bsrlin foreign office as published
abroad.
He reiterated that the state depart
Eent had heard nothing more from
Germany on the request for declara-
ticn of the new submarine campaign,
and would not violate the previous as
surances as to the safety of Americans
On unresisting liners.
The administration leaders are hold
ing congress in check. The state de-
partment is awaiting the receipt of
appendices to the Teutonic note which
iutended to show that British armed
Ehips used guns extensively against
submarines. These are coming by
mail, and there will be no decision un-
Jil the are studied.
Secretary Lansing has indicated to-
day that the United States may dis
cuss what may preporely be regarded

While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
