ADVICE FOR ENGLISHMEN.

The London Chronicle has been
giving Englishmen some sound advice
about their attitude toward America.
It accuses the newspapers particular
ly of having tried to badger and bully
the United States.
"Some of our WRITER'S" complains
the Chronicle, 'even go so far as to
tell the President what he ought to
do. We notice that a popular Amer
lean magazine contains symposium
giving the reasons of English writer's
why America should come into the
war.
This is a piece of gratuitous i'm
pertinence. We have no business to
advise Americans what line of policy
they should pursue, nor is it right
that we should treat the head of that
great nation in way which might
be interpreted as unfriendly."
It would have been we'll for the
English people if they had been talk.
ed to that way long ago.
If we don't seem so friendly, the
reasons may be found in the aggres-
sions committed by the British gov.
eminent against our commerce and in
the unwarranted criticisms of our pol.
icy by British editors, authors and
public men.

MILITARY SERVICE
BILL IS PASSED

London, Jan. 26-The house OF
lords, without division, passed the
second reading of the military ser.
vice bill this afternoon.
The Marquis of lLaynsdowne, min
lister without portof0lio, strongly
spoke of the necessity Of enacting the
measure.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, in
the course of debate. bestowed ben.
ediction on the measure.
Earl Curzon, lord of the privy seal,
in concluding the debate expressed
the opinion that the most serious
criticism of the bill was made by
those who contended that it did not
60 far enough. Obviously it was out
of the question to attempt to revolu-
tionize the whole military system in
the middle of great war and force
upon the country a general system Of
compulsion, he said.
Earl Derby, director Of recruiting.
said he was convinced that the bill,
when imposed upon the country,
would not make the disturbance IN
Industrial circles that many had pre-
dicted.

MANY KINDS Of RHEU.
MAT|SM, ONE SURE
MODE 0FjTREATMENT

Whether your trouble is Sciatica,
Lumbago or the dreaded Articular
Rheumatism, the answer is the same.
You must treat it through the blood.
That is the only way to rid the sys.
tenn of uric acid, purify the blood and
revitalize the nerves. If the blood is
freed from impurities Rheumatism
must go. This, in short, is the knOwl-
edge gained by the laboratories of the
S. s. S. Co. These tests have been
made for fifty years. They know
what rheumatism is. They know that
s. S. s., the remarkable blood tonic,
which they originated, will relieve
you of Rheumatism The recovery of
thousands of sufferers by the use of
s. S. S. is proof that you can be re-
lieved. s. S. S. is blood tonic-a
purifier that restores the blood, and
makes it pure as it was before it be-
came poisoned with impurities. s. s.
s. gives it strength to drive out these
impurities-and with them the Rheu-
matism. Get S. S. s. at your drug
gist's. If you need special advice,

"wAR BABY" BRIDGE PARTIES.

A new fashion in bridge parties has
been established by Mrs. Ebert III.
Gary, wife of the chairman of the
steel trust At her annual bridge the
other day-an eminently respectable
party, as New York functions go-the
hostess gave U. S. Steel certificates
for prizes. There were seven tables,
and the winner at each table got one
share of Steel preferred, instead of
the usual gew.gaw. And undoubtedly
the lucky guests valued it more high
". The stock is selling up around
1920 these days.
There's hint for hOstesses in gen.
eral. OF course, not all women who
give bridge parties are the wives of
steel magnates, with unlimited guam
titles of stock at their disposal. But
there are good many families
around the country that hold blocks
of stock in war baby" enterprises Of
various kinds. And if they want to
make themselves popular. there's no
doubt that they can do it by giving
away that stock in the form of bridge
prizes. .,.....
The idea is capable of indefinite
extension. Why shouldn't a bankers
wife set local precedent by giving
away bank stock, for example? There
might even be certain advertising
value in business mems wives in gen.
eral putting up odd lots of stock in
their husbands enterprises. Every
woman winning a share Of the stock
would want more, thus creating a
stronger demand and raising the mar
ket price. Mrs. Gary, of course, will
hardly be suspected of using social
function to bull the stock market, but
the plan obviously has its possibili-
ties.

GOOD COAST DEFENsEs.

After all the alarmist talk we have
had about hostile fleets battering our
coast forts to pieces and levying trib.
ute on our big seaports, it's reassur.
ing to find General Weaver-who is
in charge of our coast defenses, and
presumably knows something about
them-refrsing to be perturbed.
Il am not particularly alarmed he
told the House committee on military
affairs, "over the ability of battle.
ships to batter down land defenses at
long range. l think the present war,
especially the Dardanelles failure, has
demonstrated that long range gun fire
is ineffective against strong land
forts"
He pointed out a fact usually ig.
nored in comparing battleships and
coast defenses-that given guns OF
equal power, the forts have tremen.

SOCIAL WOES At WASHINGTON.

SOCIAL WOES At WASHINGTON.
The resumption of diplomatic din
ners by President Wilson, with the
new mistress of the White House as
hostess, brings out strikingly the en-
Darrassing limitations Of social activ-
ity in Washington just now.
The established custom is for the
President to invite the whole diplO-
matte corps at once. But with the
war dividing the diplomats into two
camps forbidden by precedent to rec
ognize each other, either officially or
socially, the custom has to be chang
ed. The sheep are therefore parted
from the goats. There must be two
dinners instead of one. Last Satur-
day evening the President and his
wife entertained the diplomats repre-
senting the Allies, together with those
of twenty-eight neutral nations. This
week the Germanic group has it's
turn. And just to be perfectly 1alr
and impartial about it, the president
feels obliged to invite all those neu-
trail diplomats once more to dine with
the Germans, Austrians, ,Bulgarians
and Turks.
The same problem is faced, in less
degree, by every host and hostess in
Washington. 1t isn't always neces'
sary to give double parties or recep-
tions, but care must be taken that
no diplomatic representative of any
belligerent nation shall have his dig
nifty compromised by meeting, at a
social function, representative Of
any enemy nation. And since most
of the diplomats at Washington are
lined up on one side or the other of
the big war, Washington hostesses
have their troubles.

battleship in the world. The largest
guns at New York harbor are four
teen inches, with range of only
twelve miles. Forty guns of this cali
Der, however, are now being remodel.
ed at Sandy Hook, to give them a
range of several miles more, and ad-
ditional fourteen and sixteen.inch
guns are contemplated. The latter
especially should make our ports i'm
pregnable.
The innovation on which the de-.
partment places much dependence for
the future is fourteen-inch gun now
being designed, to be mounted on a
car, transported on railroads to any
point along the coast where it is
needed, and fired from the car plat
form. 1t is expected that a few doZ-
en- of such weapons, combined with
an extension Of strategic railway
lines along exposed parts of the
coast, will give more protection
against b0mbardment or invasion
than would several additional station
airy forts.
Even now, in spite Of obvious de-
fects, General Weaver appears to re.
gard our coast defenses as the best
in the world. He refuses to believe
the oft-repeated statement that "an
enemy could levy on any American
coast city at will" declaring that mo
we'll informed officer would make
such statement" u. 81.
1t seems evident, then, that or
coast can be got into the required
state of preparedness without any
revolutionary change of policy or bur
densome expenditure. The branches
of our defense most in need Of at
tention are the army and navy.
