or stop, and the children looked out
Of the windows and said, "Oh. won't
the rain stopf"
Mr.. Sun was back OF the clouds and
he was talking to the King Of the
Clouds. 1t began to grow a little
brighter. The grown.ups said:
1T really and truly seems to look
like clearing. Well It's about ting.
for 1t has been coming down In sheets
the past few days."
"What's tbat2" asked the King Of
the Clouds. "What are they saying
about us?"
They're saying you've been coming
down In Sheets" said Mr.. Sun.
"Oh. yes" said the King Of the
Clouds, that's another one Of those
foolish expressions people use. They
don't mean IA thing. Don't you think
it's absurd to hear talk that means
absolutely nothing ut all2"
Mr.. Sun beamed, for he saw that
the King Of the Clouds was growing
tired and besides he did not feel In
the humor to be grumbled about.
There are times when he feels like
pranks and when he hears people COM
planning about him he doesn't pay the
least little bit Of attention.
1--WE don't come down In sheets
any more than we come down In blank
cts or comforters OF heavy quilts"
said the King Of the Clouds. "They
might as well soy we come down in
pillow cases and I am growing tired
Of It."
"WkV not take q rest7" asked Nj.
Sun In his most coaxing tone.
I'm thinking Of doing that" said
the King Of the Clouds. THE rain
drops have had enough fun as It 10
and they've been getting q bit tired
today"
And once more the grown-ups looked
at the sky and said. "Yes. surely II
will clear off,"
The children said to each other.
mr.. Sun is coming out. Hurrah, here
comes Mr.. Sum-"
But still the King Of the Clouds
hadn't made up his mind. 1t grew a
little darker and looked a little moro
like rain. The people said, "Oh, dear,
1t will probably rain some more after
awhile"
Listen. rain drops" said the King
Of the Clouds. "The people have now
said that we have been coming down
In sheets, and I'm pretty angry.
~You didn't mind the last time the
people said queer things about u.s.
answered the rain drops.
"well. I just happened to mind II
today. It's the way l feel, ! suppose.
But 1t annoys me when l know 30 well
that we never need anything to take
US down to the earth. We are quite
able to look after ourselves"
"Of course you are, KING OF the
Clouds" said Mr.. Sun. "But you are
tired and upset today, and you've real
ly had your share Of the earth. Let
me have a little shine for Q change"
"Maybe I will, maybe I WILL" said
the King Of the Clouds.
The rain drops looked up and said,
"Are we to stop raining and 60 back

VAST WAR FUND.
Military Budget Calls for s3,4oo, COO. 900
Appropriation.

Washington, ID. C., April 6.--The vast
scope of the administrations plans for
a war army and navy were revealed yes
terday after a military budget of So ,400,-
100000 had been submitted to Congress.
In broad terms, il is proposed to quad
ruple the enlisted strength of the navy
and TO have in service within wear an
army of million trained men, including
the first 100000 to be brought TO the
colors by selective conscription.
The budget is divided so that 81 .a32. :
100000 goes 70 the army and S46s .0O0.-
900 TO the navy. These sums are in addi-
tion to the regular army appropriation
bill of S240OO0OOO and appropriations
totslling S5l7 ,273.sO2, already available
for the navy.
The navy's task will be to raise the
present enlisted strength of 6s. 700 men
TO 1900 in the shortest possible time
II is estimated it will cost fl75.S55.76L
TO do this. A lump sum appropriation
Of S292, ,53s. 100 is asked to cover new
construction and all other material ex-
penses.

WANTS TO RAISE TROOPS.
Ex-President Roosevelt Thinks Forces
Should Be Sent Across Ocean.

New York, April 6.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt issued statement here last
night in which he declared that no "un-
wise precedent would be created, as has
been suggested, in permitting him to
raise division for active service on the
French front.
"The American people" asserted Colo
mel Roosevelt, 'are united behind the
president in the determination to wage
effective and aggressive war for our
rights and for the rights of humanity
and civilization. | believe that our peo-
pie now realize that the system of uni
verssl military service is the only effec-
tive and the only absolutely democratic
system. |, OF course, most earnestly
hope for the passage of legislation estab-
fishing the principle OF universal, obliga-
tory military service and training.
''In addition / believe that the Ameri-
can people desire that in the immediate
future we send abroad an eXpeditionary
force. 1t is an excellent and indispensi-
bic thing to raise money for and fur
nish supplies to our allies. This, Of
course, must be done.
Il have asked permission to raise a
division which would be in this army
corps and under its commander No un-
wise precedent can possibly be created
by permitting an ex-president of the
United States OF previous military ex-
perience to raise such a division and to
serve with It at the front under the com
mand Of the general who heads the army
corps"

KITCHENS APPEAL.

Pointed Out.

Washington, u. G., April g.. Democrat
ic Floor Leader Kitchin, in speaking
against the war resolution, said in part
I'm view of the many assumptions Of

some OF those who favor the resolution
and insinuations by them of cowardce
and disloyalty on the part of those who
oppose it, offshoots doubtless of the pas
sionate moment, let me at once remind
the House that it takes neither moral
nor physical courage to declare war for
Others TO fight 1t is evidence of neither
loyalty nor patriotism for one to urge
others to get into war when he knows
that he himself is going to keep out.
"The depth OF my horror, the intensity
OF my distress in contemplating the
measureless steps proposed. God only
knows. Too grave is the responsibility
for anyone to permit another to stand

and judgment, after mature thought and

FRENCH RECLAIMED
POSITIONS LOST
NEAR RHEIMS
Other French Forces Made Further Ad-
vance in the Vicinity of Landicourt
During Last Night.

Paris, April 6.--French troops made a
further advance last night on the new
line in the vicinity of Landicourt. Gre.
made attacks northeast of Rheims EN-.
abled the French 10 regain further posi-.
tions wrested from them by the German
offensive of yesterday, according to the
official report to-day.
The official communication last night
told of the German success. The com
munication was as follows:
Between the Somme and the Disc the
German artillery violently bombarded
our positions north of UrviIlers. The
vigorous reply of our batteries silenced
the enemy's guns.
"There was an intermittent artillery
action on the west bank of the Disc and
south of the Ailette river, but no infan-
try action On the western border of
the Argonne, after a lively lombard
ment, the Germans carried out a surprise
attack on one of our trenches north of
Vienne- le- Chateau. The enemy, who
made use of flaming liquids, was re-
pulsed by our barrage fire and left dead
and prisoners in our hands.
Northwest of Rheims a German at
tack against our positions between Sap.
ig,eul and the Godat farm developed
on a front of $500 meters. The enemy
had assembled numerous special troops
for the assault with the object of driv-
ing us from the left bank of the canal
of the Aisne, as proved by orders found
on dead officers or prisoners. The attack
failed over the greater part
Of the front where we reoccupied almost
our first line trenches.
Counter attacks are under way for
the reeapture of some elements which
the enemy still holds.
"This afternoon on the left bank Of
the Meuse our guns caught under their
fire north of Hill 304 a German troop,
which suffered heavy losses. In Lorraine.
in the region of Gremeoy, we shelled a
train, of which several wagons were
burned

Washington, D. c., April 6.-Persistent
