ChiIdren's Rooms Attractive.

The children's rooms are flooded with sunlight and are exceptionally attrac- tive. The play room flor those patients who have reached convalesence is fit tel out with little chairs and tables and around the border run pictures of every denizen of Noahs Ark.
 There is Noah and Mrs. Noah, and the lion. the tiger, the giraffe and all the other animals going TWO by two toward the gangplank. There are great windows that make the room as light as all outdoors and nothing is left wanting in toys and games.
 The ward itself consists of two large bright rooms and a big sun parIor, where the little ones suffering from ailments that require a lot of air and sunshine for their cure.
 Here repeating sofly to herself the tale of the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" a reporter found little Agnes. suffering from tuberculosis of the spine.
 Was she sad and told the reporter that she had been in the hospital for 16 weeks this time and once before for six weeks? Not a bit of it. She was happy as could be under the charm Of her new surroundings. and for him she named all the characters around the border.

Is In Unique Position.

Just at present. pr. Pollock is oc- cupying a rather unique position in that he is acting head of two hes pitals. He resigned from the superin- tendency of the Norwich, Conn, in stitution, which was built under his direction, to accept the Boston position.
 But up to the present time, the 6i- rectors at Norwich have refused to ac- cept his resignation and are urging him to reconsider. His experience in the management of hospitals has car ried him to Minnesota and New Jer- sey and everywhere he mas been known as a man who does things.
 Until last week, the children's ward Of the Homeopathic, was located in a converted residence, which was poorly adapted for the work especially on ac- count of the fact that it was not well lighted. The opposite is the case in the new ward, the furnishings of which were presented to the hospital by Miss Eleanor Clark.

hfe-blood is being poured out on a
hundred battle fields her women and
children at home know little con-
fort and the pangs of hunger are
felt by all.
However, much we oppose all those
things Of which the German gov
eminent and Emperor stand, the heart
of America goes out to the German
people in their manifold sorrows and
trials.
They have been led into awful
calamities by unwise and obstinate
rulers.
Germany is, we believe, in the
wrong. We felt when she declared
war that she was starting confagra-
ton she could not extinguish. Not
withstanding all her preparedness,
all her prowess, and all her victories
we believe she is finding this true.
But right or wrong the civilized
world is not willing that Germany
perish, that noble race shall starve.
We believe that this country should
suggest way out to both sides. We
believe that America is in a position
to formulate terms of peace which
will appeal to the instincts Of justice
of the right-thinking people of the
world.

AN ECHO OF
LONG AGO.

While the United States is about
to arise in the power Of its might to
maintain its position among the ma
tions of the world, an echo of the
past is heard over :ae angry waves.
Fifty-five years ago today the streets
Of Baltimore were filled with angry
soldiers and civilians as paving stones.
were being hurled at Massachusetts
volunteers who were passing through
that city on their way to Washington.
Several soldiers were killed as we'll
as a number of civilians, while in
nocent spectators were also injured
by the exasperated belligerents.
Many people in Maryland sympa-
thized with the Southern Confeder-
acy. and some Of the best soldiers
in the Army of Northern Virginia
came from that State. There was
y decided southern sentiment in Bal
timore. and attempts were made by
MANY to obtain arms from the state
to be used in keeping northern troops
from passing through the Monumen-
tai City. Governor Hicks, refused to
furnish guns and the people under
took to play the part enacted by Bel
gium when the Germans appeared
on their border. They, however, oc-
casioned but a temporary halt, and
the Massachusetts volunteers, armed
rs thew were. had decided advantage
over the Baltimorcans, who were COM
Delled to resort to bricks and cobhlc-
stones.
1t is no fractional dispute now, how
ever, which is exciting the country.
The issue is clearly cut. Is the United
States to be treated as was Serbia,
or is the country to have insult and
wrong hcapcd upon it and to remain
rs passive as Switzerland (which is
bottled up by warning nations? There
is now no north, no south, no cast no
west. 1t seems that We must light,
or become Part Of the tail of the Icl'-
ton kite.

An army reorganization bill that
would produce regular army and re-

was passed by the Senate last night.
On the eve of joint session of the
houses of Congress to hear a mes

ternational issues, the Senate hast
ened completion of the; bill amid
scenes of excitement, repeatedly re-
jecting all amendments pending to
reduce the proposed strengthening Of
the army.
A rupture of diplomatic relations
between this country and Germany
is now believed to be at hand. Presi-
dent Wilson appeared before both
houses of Congress today and review
ed in detail the entire history of Ger
man violations Of American rights
at sea, and will ask Congress for a
verdict.
Congress will indorse without de-
lay the action of the President, di-
iecting him to act as his judgment
dictates. The German Ambassador.
Count Won Bernstorff, may receive his
passports almost Immediately, as the
result of the action of the President
and Of Congress.
In his Jefferson Day speech and in
his welcoming address to the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution the
President has asserted that the only
excuse for the United States to as
sert its physical force would be in
oehalf OF the rights OF humanity. 1t
IS, therefore, portentous that the sum-
mary of the abridgment and viola
ton of these rights by German SUBJ
marine action should be recited in his
speech to Congress- 1t is a warning
that the clock of destiny has struck
and that America is ready to un-
sheathe its sword in the protection
for mankind of the rights that have
made and kept the American states

CRISIS With GERMANY
Baltimore American)

baltimore Amerlcan)
! President Wilson will appear be-
fore joint session of Congress this
afternoon and will lay before both
| Houses the entire German submarine
ssue. This may be followed by an
immediate break in the diplomatic
relations Of the two countries, I'M
less Germany shall yield at every
point and come into agreement with
he position of the United States re-
garding undersea warfare. The Prcsi
dents action can only be interpreted
rs meaning that he wants the sup
port, the hearty and loyal backing
Of Congress before he goes step
farther. Such support and backing
he will receive, not only from Con-
yrcss, but from the whole country.
The determination Of Congress to
stand by the President may not
mean war with Germany, but it will
mean that friendly relations with
that country cannot continue while
Germany slaughters American citi-
zens upon the seas. The issue has
reached the breaking point. and
whatever may happen, Germany
must count herself alone to blame.
Piracy and murder have gone
land in hand in the German subma
rine campaign, preposterous viola
ion Of international law and of hui
name sentiment has been the rule
n this form of enterprise. In
his address to Congress, President
Wilson will bring against Germany
grave chargcs--a list Of attacks upon
neutral commerce and instances of
persistent violation of the agreement
inferred into with this country not
20 attack commercial craft without
going through the equivalent of visit
md search. Ruthless and reckless
attacks have been repeatedly made
upon ships carrying noncombatants
and without opportunity for such to
escape the results Of these attacks. !
Time and again, under one preteXt
or another, Or without offering an !
explanation, attacks have been made
:pon neutral shipping.
Labored arguments to excuse it's !!
ubmarine policy were first entered !
INTO by the Berlin government. But
rom the first these were supported !
~ lying allegations such as were
brought by means of false affidavits |!
against the Lusitania. These eff
forts to give reasonable sanction
20 the policy Of sea ravage be-
caMmc weaker and weaker, until
finally the excuses degenerated into
he travcsty that was submitted by
Won Jagow in his note anent the
jusscx. The President has patiently
permitted the unwnding of the coils
!: sophistry. and now the end has
hecn reached. The German argu-
.ncnts and excuses have become silly
and no longer worthy Of intelligent
consideration. Hence the time has
arrived and Mr. Wilson pcrceivcs
this--to let in the cold light of logic
and fact upon the entire record Of
,iastardly deeds of the German gov
operations.
Germany will thus stand indicted
before history in the testimony of
civilization against it and subject to
the scorn OF the race despite
amiable and humane sentiments that
upon the whole govern its people.
