SEEM TO BE FEWER BLONDES
Observers Have Noticed That Darker
Types of Females Are Beginning
to Predominant.

A silly little story came out of st.
Louis the other day to the effect that
increased cost Of peroxide Of hydro
gen vas causing the girls out there to
Iuit bleaching their hair, and, as q con-
sequence, fewer blondes were to be
seen. The bleached blonde is one of
the lay figures Of the joker; OF, rather,
of the joker who cannot keep ahead Of
the times, because she has been the
target of humorous shafts ever since
the Spanish-American war. Serious
Hly. though, aren't there fewer blondes
than formerly? How many genuine
yellow-haired girls have you seen in
the street cars in the last month? Very
few and to one girl with light. eyes
md coloring you will see a half-dozen
hrunettes Of varying shades. Wen
leave it to the sociologist to establish
the relationship between the number
Of Immigrants from southern Europe,
where the people are mostly dark, and
the growing scarcity OF real blondes.
The sociologist no doubt AN present
n. sorts OF interesting theories, but we
ERE confronted with a fact. During
tally journeys on one car line covering
a period Of II months one observer has
failed to decry a single blonde that
he would be sworn was genuine; and
lafs is a person OF fair eyesight and
Il artial to the light ones. What's the
Answer?-Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

TALK OF PEACE HAS BEEN
ABANDONED SAYS GERARD,
Reports That Germany Intends to
Continue Ruthless Subsea Warfare
Regardless of Consequences.

Washington, March IS. - Former
Ambassador Gerard, fresh from Ber-
lin, reported to the State department
that when he left there was every evil
dence that Germany fully intended
carrying out her ruthless submarine
campaign, regardless of the prospect
of war with the United States and
that talk of peace had been aban-
doned.
Mr.. Gerard reported that German
officials apparently considered the ef-
fects and consequences of submarine
ruthlessness before proclaiming it, and
as far as he could learn were conf
dent Of its success. When he left Ber-
lin, however, the campaign was only
in it's second week, and the Germans
were still predicting the destruction
of million tons of shipping a month,
the amount admitted by experts to be
essential for an effective blockade of
England.
Since then, however, the average
destruction has been ld6s than half
that.

MESSAGE IS TO Be MILITANT
WILSON PLANNING ADDRESS TO
65th CONGRESS.
To Urge Prompt Action on Drastic De-
Tense Observation-Disclosures Train
ing to Be Big Question.

Washington, March 16.-President
Wilson's message to the Sixty-ffth
Congress, called in extraordinary SEES
sion April 16, will be sharply militant.
Defense measures such as the cOun-
try has not been called on to fur
nish since the Spanish-American war
will be urged by the President for i'm
mediate consideration and prompt &C
ton. These are expected to include:
Legislation covering all matters col
lateral with the defense of the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
Suggestion for action on some form
of universal service or training to pre-.
pare the American youth for service
on land and sea if called on.
Training to Be Big Question.
Appropriations for the army and
conservation measures which will re-
lease for immediate use the mineral
and oil resources now locked up in
public lands.
Universal training promises to be
the biggest question facing Congress.
President Wilson and Secretary Of
War Baker have sent out an appeal
for "thoughtful public opinion on the
needs and wishes of the country and
ION this radical departure from the
traditions of the country"
In answer to the plea newspapers
are found thus far to favor-about
five to one-the adoption of some uni
versal training plan.

PRESIDENT is AMAZED
OVER ORDER TO STRIKE
Believed to Be PowerIess in Matter
Except to Adapt Measures to Keep
Mails Moving.

Washington, March 17.-Word that
a general railroad strike had been
ordered was received by President
Wilson with amazement. He had con.
fidently expected that the meeting be-
tween the railroad and brotherhood
representatives in New York would
result in some kind of agreement that
would prevent interference with trans
portation facilities, at least while the
nation is on the verge of war.
No statement was authorized by the
White House and all officials profess
ed to be ignorant of what the Pres
ident might intend to do. The Pres
ident is known to regard strike as
uncomfortable in view of the interna1
tional crisis, the already congested
condition of freight traffic, and the
ever-rising cost of food. Apparently,
however, he feels he practically is
powerless unless it becomes necessary
for him to adopt measures to keep the
mails moving.

GERMAN U-BOAT WARFARE
PROVES DISAPPOINTING
Only 70 British Ships Of Over 1000
Tons Lost in Six Weeks of
Campaign.

London, March 16.-"The German
submarine campaign reported to have

must be singularly disappointing to

ginning of January, 1917, Great Brit
ain possessed approximately 1871 YES
sells of $500 tons and more. Many
others of less tonnage are not TAX
en- into consideration.
From February l to March IA the
loss of British ships of more than
1900 tons were approximately IS,
which number deducted from the to-
tai leaves the British mercantile ma
rine with 1858 ships of over 1900
tons, after six weeks of German sub
marine warfare.

Prospect in almost complete silence.
From time to time emissaries from
the revolutionary side rode to the op-
posing ranks and exhorted them to
join the side of the people. For a

the first clash this entire section OF
Petrograd in which are located the

and the chief military barracks, passed

forces and the warfare swept like a

the regular session had been adjourn
ed by imperial ukase, and in tele-
gram to the emperor the popular rep
