and the law on maritime war on COM
rnerce mobilized In the house Of COM
mons today to eagerly await the de-
proposed blockade on Germany.
were equally insistent on the necessity
of enforcing the blockade as effective
as possible. but they Joined issue on
the best method Of enforcing this, a
keen desire being shown In some quar-
tiers to make the interference with
neutral commerce as light as possible.
The demand was general. however,
for greater stringency in the preven-
tion OF foodstuffs and other contra
band passing by neutral countries into
Germany.
The debate hinged on a motion In
troduced with the object Of obtaining
from the government q full statement
Of the facts and giving an opportunity
to deal with most Of the aspects Of
the recent complaints against the for
eign motion. The motion fol1ows:|
"That this. house having noted the
volume Of Imports into neutral coun-
tries. bordering on enemy territory. Of
goods essential to the enemy for the
prosecution Of the war. urges the gov
sernment to enforce as effective a
blockade az possible without interfer-
ing with the normal requirements Of
those neutral countries for internal
consumption"

Arrival Of Another Armed Merchant
man Brings Second Warning From
vienna-May Be Considered az
Hostile Craft.

Washington, Jan. 26-Baron Erich
Zwiedinek, charge Of the Austro-H Hun 4
garian embassy. today asked the state
department what the United States in
tended to do in the case Of the Italian
steamship Verona, which arrived in
New York several days ago with two
guns mounted at her stern.
Th inquiry was the same as that
made by Baron Zwiedinek in the case
of the italian steamer Giuseppe Verdi,
which reached New York with two
guns mounted aft. The Verdi was al
lowed to sail on her return trip.
Indications are that the Austrian
government may notify the United
States that any other merchant ves-
sells permitted TO sail with guns aboard
even II intended for protection only,
will be considered as hostile craft SUD-
ject to be sunk without warning.

What widespread and far-reaching
effect personality has in the affairs of
men. We hear it given as wide
range of definition as there are kinds
of people. An agreeable personality
and vice versa personality that is
stupid or intelligent; gracious or churl-
ish; overbearing or yielding; self-willed
and oblivious Of the rights of others
or tolerant and reasonable; selfish or
unselfish; conceited or modest;
thoughtful or unthinking; these and
many others are samples of a vast va
riety of habits Of mind and manner
from which every person may choose
as they desire. But every person
should remember that their personal
bearing toward their fellows has a
vast deal to do with their success in
life. We rise or fall very often ac-
cording to the estimate given to our
personality by those about us. What
is called "tact," which is but an abbre-

BLIND PLEAD WITH INVENTOR
Liquefied Radium Helps to Restora
Sight-May Be "Great
Discovery"

More than six thousand blind per-
sons. by deputy or directly through the
mails, have besieged Ethan L Dodds.
the Pittsburgh inventor of radium
screen "eyes," pleading piteously with
him to restore their sight.
Mr.. Dodds, with the aid of liquefied
radium, did succeed some months ago
in improving if not restoring the vision
of man who suffered a peculiar visual
ailment that had made him blind. Talk
ing of that achievement, the inventor.
who already had spent two fortunes
experimenting along that line, said
he'd give all he could ever hope to pcs
sess in this world if he could only
promise sight to few of the blind who
had thus appealed to him. But, as yet,
he was "only on the edge of great
discovery" and could not. without
many added qualities, hope to apply it
in any general way to the restoration
of sight.
Now Mr. Dodds has received from
sightless sufferers more than six thou-
sand pathetic appeals; some of them
accompanied by signed checks in blank,
saying: "Fin out for any amount you
choose. If you can give me back my
eyes."-Pittsburgh Post.
