the white house.
Official Statement.
The following statement was is
sued:
."Secretary Tumulty stated in con-
nection with the presidents call for
an extra session of congress that the
president is convinced that he has
the power to arm American merchant
ships and he is free to exercise it at
once. But so much necessary legls-
lation is pressing for consideration
that he is convinced that it is for the
best interests of the country to have
an early session of the Sixty-fifth
congress, whose support he will also
need in all matters collateral to the
defense of our merchant marine.
The names of the ships which will
be armed will not be made public by
the government and are not expected
to be published in the newspapers.

Extra Session Called.

Washington, March 9.-President
Wilson. from sick bed, today order
ed the arming of American merchant
ships against Germany's ruthless
submarine warfare and at the same
time issued proclamation calling an
extra session of congress to meet
April 16.
The presidents decision came sud
denly late this afternoon. following
the action of the senate yesterday IN
revising it's rules to permit prompt
action on important questions and
the submission of formal opinions by
Secretary Lansing and Attorney Gen
eral Gregory that he has the power
to arm merchantmen without action
by congress.
Details OF the government armed
neutrality plans for defending the
merchant marine were Withheld to
avoid endangering Americans and
their ships by permitting the infor-
nation to reach Germany.
Only Statement.
The only statement at the white
house and the navy department was
that the president had determined to
fully protect American rights. The
decision, coming at the end of Pc
riod OF tense waiting, was generally
hailed as the natural and unavold-
able next step in the policy adopted
by the president when he broke of
diplomatic relations with Germany
and gave warming that the United
States could not tolerate attacks on
American ships and citizens in viola
tion of international law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only af-
ter he was convinced that Germany
actually was proceeding with her
campaign of ruthlessness and had
made efforts to plot with Mexico and
Japan against the territorial integri-
| ty of the United States.
Ready to Arm Merchantmen.
Long before the order was given
| from the white house. all necessary
preparations for the arming Of mer-
chantmen had been completed at the
navy department.

IN MENIORIAM.

STEEDLY-In loving remem-
brance of our dear son, James B.
Steedly, who departed this life May
|. 1916. One year ago today the
angels of death summoned from our
home circle loving son.
Long days and nights he bore in
pain,
To wait for cure that never came.
But God. who knoweth all things
best,
Did cease his pain and gave him rest.
Forget him! No We never will:
We loved him then, We love him still.
His memory is as fresh today
AS in the hour he passed away.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given,
And tho his body slumbers here.
His soul is safe in heaven.
FATHER AND MOTHER.
Faithful to every duty, true to every
trust, he has entered into ever
lasting rest.
Asleep. The weary eyes are closed
to rest.
The weary hands across his breast.
The tired heart pulsates no more;
He's now at rest On heavens bright
shore
Asleep. Thank God for the rest that
frees
The tired body from disease
That takes the soul from earth sad
cares.
And shuts the eyes from toll and
tears.
-BROTHERS.
We miss thee from our home. dear
Bennie,
We miss thee from thy place;
4 shadow Ger our life is cast.
We miss the sunshine Of thy face:
We miss thy kind and willing hands
The fond and earnest care:
Our home is dark without thee.
We miss thee everywhere.

OLD METHODS AND NEW.
Merchants Have Made Big Changes
In Business Ways.

The old time storekeeper waited
for customers to come in his store.
The modern storekeeper advertises
his wares and attracts them.
In days gone by storekeepers paid
little or no attention to their Win
dows. 4 window was an opening in
front of the store, place 10 admit
light and air: usually the glass was
dirty and seldom cleaned. The lining
If any, was soiled, tattered and be-.
srimed. whats the use Of chang
ing window displays?" figured the
old time storekeeper. 1t was con-
sidered waste Of effort to spend much
time on the windows.
Today the modern storekeeper un-
derstands his show windows are the
mirrors of his establishment, the
ewes of the store. They are changed
frequently, cleaned with care. always
we'll lighted and we'll ventilated and
display a proper assortment of the
stores newest merchandise. The
modern merchant realizes it is i'm
possible to pay too much attention 10
his windows; thus he spends many
dollars improving, re-arranglns ana
lighting them so they attract the
maximum of attention.
The old time storekeeper knew and
cared little for system. his cash was
kent in the old iron safe and ready
change in a shop bag. Books ne
troubled not to keep. A few memo
randa we're considered sufficient and
sometimes more than enough to pilot
business. Various forms OF lnsur-
ance we're laughed at, the cash regis
ter unknown. the adding machine ana
nrotectograph as mythical as the
SQUARED circle.
The anti-bellum merchant made
friends round the cylinder stove and
cracker barrel, while the cider jug
was much in evidence. Sticks OF
candy for the children and paper OF
pins for the ladies were his method
of making friends.
Today the wise merchant uses no
counter attraction to secure trade:
fair dealings. fair prices and good
business methods take the place of
the cider jug. Courteous clerks and
we'll trained assistants have replaced
the cylinder stove.
Our friend, the merchant of olden
days, was satisfied to sell at the low
est price, but willing and ready to
accept as much profit as he could get
from the unwary. Let the buyer be-
ware, was his slogan.
Today We find the golden rule pre-
walls almost entirely in every busl-
ness. One price, and that fair one,
predominates. One profit, and that
a sane one, prevails. Let the buyer
beware has given way to Let the
seller have care.
Verily-times have changed

REUNION STANDS.
Wilson Says No Reason Exists for
Postponement.

President Wilson, in answering a
letter recently received. said that he
saw no reason why the Confederate
Veterans reunion, set for Washing
ton during the week beginning June
4, should be postponed on account OF
the international situation. Some
person, whose name was not gwen
out at the white house, wrote the
president asking if he thought the
reunion should be cancelled or post
poned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-All
contracts for spruce for aircraft.
both for the allies and the United
States. are to be placed directly
with Washington and Oregon
mills, and the paying of commits
sions to brokers, heretofore the
practice on the part Of the allies,
is abandoned.
The contracts are to be on the
new and more rigid specifications.
These determinations were reach
ed by the aircraft production
board today.
The board has found that the
allies have been buying thru
brokers only. paying $50 thou
sand, $25 more commission to the
broker and s25 freight to New
York, total Of $140 q thousand
feet.
The board has fixed $105 as
the one price per thousand to the
mill for the higher grade spruce
called for In the new specifica-
tions. Taking the government
rate, the freight will be only SIP,
and there will be no commission,
the total price Slit.

Maggart was obviously quite in

about-the whole roll first, and
then any sort of divvy that'll let
you get slice out of the reward.

your brain ought to be. II you put

Bunt the Queen and Winkepp-
ner were dining tete-a-tete in a
secluded room at Blanco's.
At II o'clock flanagan sat again
In the Allison buffet. Armstrong,
house manager of the Allison, en-
tered, saw flanagan, and gradually
approached him. To Lanagan's eye
there was something suspicious In
the exaggerated unconcern with
which Armstrong dropped into a
chair at Lanagan's side.
"Mr. Allison wishes to see you
badly" said Armstrong. ALSO,
a curious thing has happened
which I thought you ought to
know. The alligator grip was re-
turned some time ago by a mes
senger who simply had a verbal
message that It was the wrong
grip. Also, Mrs. Pernau has taken
a room again.
How long since Mrs. Pernau
returned?" asked flanagan.
"She registered at 10 o'clock. !"
AS flanagan was leaving the buff
.fet, Armstrong having preceded
him, he met Maggart coming in.
"Drinking?" asked Maggart, af-
fably.
ooh, I might take a lemonade"
flanagan had earned some slight
reputation as a drinking man: but
he had one definite line of con-
duet; he never drank at important
periods of his Investigations.

OF the pallid youth to notice a fur
Their circumstance: AS Kinkepp-
ner's limousine passed Kearney
ST., with Lanagan's taxi idling
along In the rear, another ma
chine shot out of Kearney st. and
fell in behind Tommy. The pallid
faced youth was not without the
sense of blase humor of his kind.
"All we need now is the moving

quizzically. "And we have the pur-
suit scene in deadly earnest. Now,
BIO, 1t looks like the Queen of
Diamonds is walking or riding in

Why the two machines? But then
there were two after me. What's

The pallid youth seemed content
with fourth place as the line of au-
tomobiles sped rapidly down Grant

communing with himself:
1.-The chap in that first machine
is the man who followed me today.
The two in the other taxi look like
dicks. Evidently they've been
shadowing Winkeppner and they
are lacking right along. But this
other Indian has got me guessing.
He don't look like a fly cop. May
be. now, just maybe, It's some fly
reporter"
With this shrewd guess, Dickie
settled back, lit a cigar, and per-
mitted his mind to become quies-
cent. The Winkeppner machine
had turned on Larkin st. flanagan
had by this time become suspicious
of the machine behind him. He
slowed again; Winkeppner swung
down O'Farrell, but Tommy swung
down Laurel av., an intermediary
street, and, promptly enough the
machine behind him turned down
Laurel and Dickie in his turn
swung down into Laurel. flanagan,
for reasons best known to himself,
swung Tommy back down Polk and
at Market st. he stopped. The sec
ond machine went flying by, and
