NO DEADLOCK N
LUS|TAN|A CASE
(By United Press Leased wire.)

tBy United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington. Feb. 5.--Though the
administration holds the Lusitania
situation very grave. the scheduled
conference between President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing to con
slider It was abandoned today.
Lansing himself however. indi-
Gated that the situation is not alto
gether hopeless when he said that
negotiations with Ambassador Won
Bernstorff will be continued. At the
same time he admitted that nothing
the German envoy advanced yester-
day offered new hope for a satisfac-
tory settlement of the problem.
Meanwhile the main hope OF Off
cials is that Bernstorff has been given
authority to go beyond what his mem
orandum yesterday suggested.
rs the situation deadlocked?"
Lansing was asked.
while confidential negotiations
continue the situation can not be
called deadlocked," he replied.
The fact that the president did not
hold his scheduled session with Lans-
Ing was taken to mean that he found
nothing In the report Of his special
envoy, Colonel House, necessitating
discussion with the premier, What
House reported, though. is known
alone to the president, In this con-
nection It was pointed out, however,
that II House had made an acceptable
suggestion for a compromise this
would have been communicated to
Lansing. In order that the latter
might have the benefit thereof In his
discussions with Bernstorn. At the
same time, the abandonment OF the
conference indicated that no imme-
dlate crisis is In prospect
Washington. Feb. 5.--The Lusi-
tanla situation Is very grave.
with GermanIAmerican affairs
thus delicate and entangled anew,
President Wilson was scheduled to
meet Secretary OF State Lansing to-
day in the first Of series OF all i'm
portant conferences to determine
Americas future policy toward the
Teutons.
The gravity OF the case arises from
Germany's refusal to meet the Amer
lean demand for q disavowal for the
torpedoing OF the giant British liner.

Yet at the pres ent day the Turk can hardly be thought of without his pipe or cigarette and bis cup of coffee, ~

 In those early days coffee was de nounced by preachers as one of the four ministers of the devil. the other three being tobacco. opium and wine.

The Chess Automaton.

Baron Kempeler of Hungary began to astonish the civilized world Of Eu. rope about 1769 with his chess autom- aton. This was apparently a figure controlled by mechanical devices and which was able, notwithstanding the fact that apparently DO intelligence was concerned in its movements and decisions, generally to beat Its human antagonists The cabinet connected with the automatoD appeared entirely too small to contain a hidden operator And yet 1t did conceal a man who was an expert chess player He was a Polish patriot who had lost both Of his Iegs-perhaps in the war over Poland This man. Woronsky by name. was an expert player With hIm hidden in the cabinet and yet really on the spot the rest was easy.

 It was pitiful in the extreme to hear Mccullough read this at any time and trebly so now. He wandered through others of his various characters, the people about him weeping and seeking to hide their grief. At length he drift ed into the part of Cardinal Richelieu-
 He played the scene in the garden where Baradas, the creature of the king, comes to take RIChelieu's ward away from him He had spoken the tender speech Of protection to Julie, and now RiChelieu says to Joseph, who holds him up on one side while bis ward assists him on the other, Well. well, we will go homer Here be walks feebly up the stage. Baradas, seeing how broken he Is, says aside to De Be ringhen, His mind and life are break ing fast" Richelieu overhesrs him, turns with his old fury and cries: 'Ir- reverent ribald, 1T so. beware the fall ing ruin! l tell thee, scorner Of these whitening hairs, when this snow melt, eth there shall come a food Avaunt!

 He looked at the weeping Baradas, at Julie sobbing, at the rest of the com pany standing about overcome with grief and terror and collapsed utterly.
