WHY DONKEY WAS IN CLOVER
Punishment That Surely Might Be
cIassed as Unusual" Though
Possibly Not %CrueI."

Not very long ago there lived In
England an old man who always rode
on a donkey to his daily work. and
tethered him while he iabored on the
roads or wherever else he might be.
1t had been pretty plainly limited to
him by one of the local landowners
that he was suspected Of putting it
in the fields to Craze at other peoples
expense.
Eth, squire, cud ma do SIGH thing,
fer my donkey won't eat nowt but net
ties an thistIes"
One day the gentleman was riding
along the road, when he saw the old
fellow at work and the donkey up to
his knees in one Of his clover fields
feeding luxuriously-
''Halloa. john" said he ct under
stood you to say your donkey would
eat nothing but nettles and thistles?"
Aye" said John, but he's been
misbehavin' hisself. sir. He nearly
kicked me / tn chest just now, so
put him there to punish him."

WILSON'S PLAN THREATENED
ministration to Become Nervous
Over Defense Program.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Unless materi-
ally modified, President Wilson's pre-
paredness plan is beaten. That is the
opinion, authoritatively learned today,
of the administration itself
Detection of Senator Kern, Senate
Democratic leader, from the forces
working for the great army and navy
program, outlined by the President IN
his message to Congress, was the final
proof to the White House that it's
plans would not carry .Kern's decis-
ion that he cannot support the pro-
gram became known today That the
people of Indiana are opposed is
Kern's chief reason, it is said
This leaves the preparedness pro-
gram unsupported by the leaders in
both houses. Kitchin, House majority
leader. has held off from the first, but
Kern, warm Wilson admirer, has been
expected to lead the administrations
Senate fight.
Kern today refused to confirm the
report as to his attitude.
81 will stand by my statement that,
generally, l will support the program,
although as to which of the several
proposed plans 1 shall approve can

To Keep Monroe Doctrine.
SUSPECT PLOT AT CAPITAL
Fire in State, War and Navy Build
ing at Washington Arouses Sus-
picions of Officials.

Washington, Jan. Fire was dis
covered last night in the State, War
and Navy building, within a stones
throw of the White House. The blaze
was checked in time to save public
records of untold value.
Several suspicious circumstances in
connection with the fire prompted
the authorities to authorize a careful
inquiry. In this building the secre-
tary of state, secretary of war and
the secretary of the navy make their
headquarters; and in it are housed
the state and military secrets of the
government.
The fire started in a repair shop
in the basement on the navy depart
ment side of the building. Close by
are stored public records of great
value that could not have been re-
placed if destroyed. When smoke
was discovered issuing from the re-
pair shop one of the watchmen on
duty made an Intellectual attempt to
turn in an alarm. He found the fire
alarm system was out of order.
Entering the repair shop one of the
watchmen found two large contain
ers full of gasoline in the pathway
of the flames. The gasoline was re-
moved in time to prevent ignition.

PROMISES IMMEDIATE ACTION
President Wilson Orders AffidaVits of
Survivors Regarding the Sinking
of the British Liner Persia.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Late today,
after comforting with President Viii
son, Secretary of State Lansing sent
orders to the American consu1s at Al
exandria, Malta and Cairo, to gather
at once all available affidavits from
the Persia survivors and to cable sum-
maries. The idea is to bring in def
mite information Immediately
The return to Washington of Presi-
dent Wilson for the purpose of consid-
ering the crisis brought about by the
sinking of the Persia brought about no
lessening of the tension felt in official
circles regarding the probable effect
the incident may have on the negotia-
tons between the United States and
foreign powers with regard to the pros
ecution of submarine warfare. The
only developments were the marked
indications of the presidents intention
to proceed carefully and deliberately
before committing the United States to
the next step in its already strained
relations with the central powers.
President Wilson's first act on his
return was to issue a statement
through Secretary Tumulty promising
action just as soon as the full facts in
the Persia disaster can be learned. His
second step was to direct Secretary
Lansing to gather more information
from the survivors.
Appreciation of this course was ex-
pressed by senators and representa-
tives, who all along have been wanting
to be taken into the presidents con-
fdence, without the formality of reso-
lutions. 1t was indicated as possible
that before any drastic step is taken
the president may address congress in
person, laying bare all the facts and
steps in the long controversy.
The president and all his advisors
are represented as realizing to its full
extent that the submarine controversy,
drawn over nearly a year, with per-
picking and critical negotiations often
brought to the breaking point, now is
at the most critical stage it ever has
| assumed and their intention is that
the next step shall place the govern
ment in a position it will be able to
maintain the principles of information
al law, and humanity. They are rep
resented as intending that all the facts
shall be so fully developed that when
a move is made it will withstand what
ever eventualities are expected to
| follow

SENATORS DISCUSS THE WAR
Engage in Lively Debate Over the
Governments Neutrality Policy
Party Lines Were ignored.

Washington, Jan. 6.-BondS of re-
straint against public discussion of
international relations of the United
States incident to the European war
were broken in the senate today and
for more than an hour the session was
enlivened by debate over the govern
ment's neutrality policy, exports of
war munitions and travel by American
citizens on belligerent-owned ships.
There was no division by the de-
baters along party lines. Senator
Jones of Washington, Republican. de-
nOunced as "unpatriotic" American
citizens who imperiled the nation by
taking passage on belligerent vessels.
Senator Works of California, Republi-
can, asserted that the government of
claiming to be neutral, when it is in
fact participating in the war through
the sale of munitions"
Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat,
interrupted Senator Works to ask:
Does the senator not know that the
first loan placed in this country after
the war began was a loan of $25, 00O,-
600 to Germany, and that the loan was
made without protest from him OF
any other citizen? Does the senator
not know that Germany procured
arms in this country as long as it was
possible for her to get them?''
THAT may all be true" Senator
Works replied, "but that does rot alter
the situation"
IF it be true" continued Senator
Reed, that the markets of this coun-
try are free and open to Germany as
well as to all other countries, and that
this government does not distinguish
between any bel1igerent nations, then
how can the senator say that this gov
eminent has taken an unneutral posi-
tiOn?"
Senator Lodge, Republican, in up
holding the position of the United
States as to the shipment of NUM-
tions, engaged in lengthy collOQuy
with Senators O'Gorman, Hitchcock
and others.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, finally de
clared the debate was out of order and
ended it by moving an executive ses-
sion.
81 have not objected up to this
time" he explained. 81 thought it was
very well to let it run a little while
by way of feeling out and getting an
index to the senate"

ARMED LINER IN NEW YORK
Naval Gunners Had Charge of Two
Cannon Mounted on italian
Passenger Steamer.

New York, Jan. 7.-Gunners of the

was instructed to use them for de-
Tense purposes only.
The two gunners became extreme
ly proficient in shooting at the bar
rels, passengers said, The guns were
mounted on the afterhouse of the yes

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, IiV-
err and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no cOnstipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside Ike
you battle outside. This is vastly
more important. because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a welfknown physician
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, q glass OF hot wa
ter with a teaspoOnful Of limestone
phosphate IN it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach
Get a quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except q sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system OF these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
emulation OF body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
As soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.-AdF.
