I love her, that is all;
You know as much as I.
I love her, that is all.
I don't know why.
I've loved her ever since
I caught her eye.
I've loved her ever since
She passed me by.
I've loved her ever since
She tied my tie.
I love her, hang 1t all!
I don't know why.

Still fervently hoping for peace
but taking every possible step
70 prepare the country for war,
IT 1t must come, President Will
son today appealed to Congress
to quickly dispose of all routine
business, appropriation bills
and pending legislation and
clear its deck for action to meet
any eventuality.
All officials realize that the
situation had resolved itself in
to one of tense waiting and care
full preparation. They realize
that he hoped against over tact
may come soon or be long de-
layed. Meanwhile they are put
ting every agency of the govern
ment in motion to meet it..
Apparently the next question
of great moment to be decided,
relates to Austrian participa-
ton in Germany's campaign of
ruthlgssness.
President Wilson is ready to
sever' relations also with the
dual monarchy as soon as it Of
ficially subscribes to the German
declaration.
While officials refuse to admit
that Austria's formal announce
ment of her adhesion to Ger
many's declaration of unre-
stricted submarine warfare has
been receievd officially, there is
reason for believing it is now
before the government, and
that appropriate action is be-
ing considered,
