afternoon the cabinet met and went
over the situation.
! Among the questions now being
carefully considered are:
lasSThe proposed conference Of neu.
trails to outline the rights of the ma
lions not engaged in the war. This
us has not been divulged; neverthe-
less it is known the idea has not been
abandoned.
Loaning guns for the arming of
American merchant ships. The pre-.
ponderance Of opinion among officials
who have advised the president on
this point favors having the navy fur
nish the guns.
Action on Austria's' situation in the
new campaign. The new ambassador,
Count Tarnowski, still Is awaiting to
present his credentials.
A reply to Mexico's suggestion for
embargoes on food and ammunition to
the belligerents.
Any or all Of these questions are ex-
pected to be decided in the near fu-
ture.
While it was reiterated today that
the president would not be rushed into
war. it was plain that all officials real
lied that the much feared overt act
might come at any time.
Flat rejection by the United States
of Germany's proposal to discuss in
ternational differences without first
hating the illegal submarine cam
paign left one other suggestion Of the
Berlin government still pending at the
state department today. That was to
reaffirm the Prussian-American treat
les of 1899 and 1928 relating mainly to
treatment Of enemy residents in war
times, with number Of new provis-
ions which apparently would consti-
tute almost new treaty. &c.,.
1t seemed quite probable that this
the same as that submitted
to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin after
he has asked for his passports and
which he declined to consider, will pe
frowned upon also.
President Wilson has under consid-
Grafton today the question whether
the navy department shall furnish
guns to arm American merchantmen,
as it is understood the state depart
ment has recommended.

the speaker he must be something OF
an orator. The whole time of his lee

how to live in order to escape the ills
which are so common, and to live to
good old age. We do not believe
that any lecture ever delivered here
proved of greater benefit to the hear

a simple but effective manner he

which will be of interest to readers of
the Review. On Saturday, January
Goth. Mr.. Che startled the ultra fash
ionable New York set by being mar
ried in black. His bride, Miss Elean-
or Hinges, was anxiou: that the we'd
ding be somewhat different. It was.
Very few in attendance at the wedding
noticed the little bride because every
one was gasping in wonder at Cne. He
was swathed in black from his black
collar and shirt to his black shoes. The
only bit OF color was his mousey white
hair which for some reason he had
failed to dye. He wore sack suit,
of funeral black color. The bride wore
a three story black hat with long black
streaming veil and suit of black ma
line combined with black charmeuse.
The reason for the black wedding as
explained by the happy couple was
that ordinary wedding draperies cost
too much and this Che argues is the
reason why so many young men pause
rather than afflict young women with
their company for life.
Mrs. Che will be in Denison Satur-

"Do you not now understand the

what immense strength the forces Of

earnestness for peace that has been
manifested from Berlin ever since
the snare was set and sprung !!
Peace, peace, peace has been the talk
of the foreign Office for now a year
and more; not peace upon her own
initiative, but upon the initiative OF
the nations over which she deems
herself to hold the advantage A
little of the talk has been public, but
most of it has been private Through
all sorts of channels, it has come to
me, and in all sorts of guises, but
never with the terms disclosed which
the German government would be
willing to accept. That government
has other valuable pawns besides
those have mentioned. 1t still holds
a valuable part of France, through
with slowly relaxing grasp and prac.
tically the whole of Belgium. Its
armies press close upon Russia and
overrun Poland at their will. 1t can
not go further. 1t dare not go back
1t wishes to close it's bargain before
1t is too late and it has little left to
offer for the pound of flesh it will
demand.
"The military masters under whom
Germany is bleeding see very clearly
to what point fate has brought them.
If they fall back or are forced back
an inch, their power both abroad and
at home will fall to pieces like a
house of cards. 1t is their power at
home they are thinking about now
more than their power abroad. 1t is
that power which is trembling at
their very feet: and deep fear has
entered their hearts. They have but
one chance to perpetuate their mill
tary power or even their controlling
peace now with the immense adyant-
ages still in their hands which they
have up to this point apparently
gained, they will have justified them
selves before the German people;
they will have gained by force what
they promised to gain by it: An i'm
mense expansion 'of German power,
an immense enlargement of German
industrial and commercial opportun-
ity. Their restige will be secured
and with their prestige their politi-
cal power. IF they fail. their people
will thrust them aside; a government
accountable to the people themselves
will be set up in Germany as it has
been in England. in the United
States, in France and in all the great
countries of the modern time, except
Germany. II they succeed they are
safe and Germany and the world are
undone. If they fail Germany is
saved and the world will be at peace
If they succeed, America will fall
within the menace We and all the
rest of the world must remain armed,
