STILL YOUNG.

Clara Morris has just celebrated
her sixty-ninth birthday. She and
her mother live with a maid and
nurse, in an old house by the sea at
Whitestone, l.. l. The house was in
the family of her husband, who died
several years ago, Frederick c. Har
riott. Her mother is ninety-three,
and was we'll enough to arrange the
birthday flowers for her daughter.
The famous actress has come
through illness, loss, fear of poverty,
danger of blindness, after a long life
time of entertaining the public. She
has lived as we'll as she played She
has stood up to her troubles and kept
her soul serene. She has met life
bravely and without bitterness.
Miss Morris wrote the other day to
newspaper:
81 am thinking that our old friend
Damocles, has received lot Of un
deserved sympathy, for the presence
Of the sword over ones head-aftel
the first .terror-simply gives keen
er SAVIOR to life, intensfies its sweet
ness and beauty and makes us con
scious Of each separate JOY"
To turn the dangling sword info ar
instrument of gladness takes fine
and courageous spirit. Clara Morris
deserves, what she has long had, the
affection and sympathy of the Ameri
can people

NOT PREPAREDNESS.

If the Hay military bill is Presi-
dent Wilson'S idea Of preparedness,
and the country has been led to be-
lieve it is, his trip into the West to
feel the public pulse on this issue
was in vain.
With an enthusiasm quite opposite
to his usual placidity, President Will
son told us at St. Louis, Kansas City
and elsewhere that we must have
navy second to none, not even Eng
lands, He vchemently defended Gar
risons plans to strengthen national
defenses, putting the peace strength
of our regular army at 100000 sol
ders.
Returning to- Washington, he isl
again under the spell of the paclflsts'
among whom is his secretary of the
navy, Josephus Daniels. Army and
navy estimates have been trimmed to
placate the Bryan wing of the party.
Wilson and his advisers evidently are
willing to sacrifice preparedness for
political harmony. Such success at
the expense of the peace and safety
of this nation is pothing short of
a Pyrrhic victory.
If Wilson thinks harmony at st.
Louis more essential than an army
and navy that will uphold national
honor, the sooner the country knows
it the better. Must we continue to
back our demands by rhetoric rather
than preparedness?
This nation has had a dramatic ex-
ample of our military impotence in
the dash of Villa and his bandits
over the border. But in the face Of
this, Democratic Congress plays
politics with the preparedness pro-
gram. 1t virtually fiddles while Rome
burns
The Hay military bill is not de-
tense. II Is d lIduu, q uCSoit' q DAon
en- reed. The army it marshals on
paper is a phantom one. 1t is sop
to the pacifsts and an insult to those
favoring honest efficient and immedi-
ate preparedness.
Where is the righteous" indigna-
ton of Wilson in this crisis?
The Hay bill is as deceptive as a
sailed mine.
No wonder Col. Bryan withdrew
his opposition and fastened back to
his political army on the Platte.
President Wilson's secretary OF war
protests that the measure is sham
and subterfuge.
But his chief is silent.
The HAY bill rates as effectiyes in
the army, men who are as good as
dead, in so far as they are able to
shoulder a musket and bear the bur
den of national defense.
The army this bill discloses as eff
cient includes eX-regulars, accounted
and unaccounted for; former men,
bers of the national guard, accounted
and unaccounted for; students of mil
itary schools who may either be liv-
ing now or who may have long since
passed into the Great Beyond. Their
names have inflated the Hay army to
a million men.
!, This trifling with the safety of a
: nation is without parallel in Ameri-
. can history.
The house leadership is opposed to
+ military preparedness. 1t is very
: doubtful whether the Democratic par.
= ty favors preparedness. Wilson's pc.
sition also is vacilatng on the issue
4 Our only hope rests with Republi.
E can leaders and votes in Congress to
s put through some kind of prepared.
g ness plan that will tide the nation
/ over until a new administration with
a firmer grasp of national affairs and
better conception of national honor
is placed in control.

Such Is Announced Plan of
Wilson Administration
in New Controversy
DEMAND TO BE MADE
FOR SHOW OF FAITH
Evidence at Hand Indicates
German Violations of
Her Agreements

Washington, D. c., April 14.-It was
indicated today that the next step in
the submarine crisis, probably the
sending to Germany of the cumulative
evidence which the United States con-
tends shows violations of Berlin's as
surances, will be taken within the
next forty-eight hours. Developments
are expected to follow rapidly.
The evidence collected by Secretary
Lansing was placed before the cabinet
today. Affidavits on the Sussex case,
which arrived on the steamer st. Paul
were not before the cabinet but it was
said that the evidence was so COM
plete that they were not entirely
necessary to the preparation of the
case of the United States.
The president and the cabinet show
ed no disposition to let the Mexican
situation postpone action on the sub
marine question.
The administration considers the
German note possibly shows that a
submarine attacked the Sussex
The president and the cabinet are
understood to have agreed that the
presentation of the facts shall be ac-
companied by definite and final de-
mand for evidence of Germany's good
faith and observance of her guaran-
tees but probably will be accompanied
by no time limit which properly could
be described as an ultimatum.

BUT MOST OF FIGHTING IS
WITH THE BIG GUNS.

Paris, April 14.-West Of the Meuse
a violent bombardment was delivered
by the Germans against the French
lines to the west Of hill 304, says the
French official communication publish
ed this morning. Yesterday evening
to the east of the Meuse small
attack was made on the French posi-
tions south Of Douaumont but it was
completely repulsed. There was a
lively bombardment south of Haudre.
ment. In the Woevre district artillery
duels took place. .
The Germans have made several at
tempts to advance against the Rus
slams in the Lake Narocz region but,
according to Petrograd they have been
repulsed
On the Austro-Italian line lombard
ments continue and the Turks have
made several powerful attacks on posi-
tions taken from them by the Rus
slams in the Caucasus region but their
attempts failed, according to the Rus
SLAMS.
Five more vessels have met disaster
from contact with mines or submar-
ines.

BRlToNS DEFEAT TURKS.

London, April IA. Defeat of the
Turkish forces in Mesopotamia by the
British was reported officially. In an
engagement on, the Tigris the Turks
were driven back from one and ono
half to three miles.
The announcement of the British
victory came at time when the pub
lie was beginning to fear efforts to re-
lieve the force Of Gen. Townshend at
KEt-El-Amara were doomed to failure,
owing to the check suffered by the re-
lieving army few days ago and the
difficulties brought about by floods.
Many military writer's in England
believed the floods had made the re-
lief of Gen. Townshend almost an i'm
possibility but today's official report
shows that, instead Of hindering the
British, the high water has helped the
forces of Lieut.. Gen. Gorringe in one
of the most difficult tasks undertaken
by the British army. Each mile the
Turks are forced back makes the Brit
ish operations easier for as they ap-
proach Kut-E1-Amara the Turks are
compelled to defend wider front. In
view of today's news, therefore, the
prospect of rescuing the army at Kut-
El-Amara is regarded as better than It
has been for some time.
