 It has been contended that bachel- ors are by their very nature hard- hearted. Those who know them we'll claim they are the most soft-hearted men who ever stood on the face of the green earth. Take them from the frigid land of the Esquimo. Trace them through the tropics. through the soft mazes of the Southland. They are good fellows, all with their hearts breaking for the impulses of man. kind. It is difficult to find the bachel- or without a heart. That he Is a bachelor is proof sufficient he pos- sesses a heart. Knowing his un- worthiness he refuses to make any woman's life miserable.

CONGRESS INVOkES
 WAR PRICE LAW
Orders Supplies Furnished at
 Less Than Bid

Washington, April 5.-The govern ment yesterday invoked for the first time it's sweeping powers to strike death blow at eXorbitant war profits.
 Under authority of the last naval appropriation bill a manufacturer was directed to\furnish large order of war supplies at a price fixed by the government far lower than the figure voluntarily submitted, If. the order is not obeyed the plant will be taken over and operated by the government.
 Officials would not disclose the name of the manufacturer or the agency through which the order was given. It was admitted, however, that the action had been taken, and that President Wilson and his advisers were firmly resolved that only fair and reasonable charges should be paid by the nation to it's citizens for the things that are necessary to make ready for war.
 European governments are paying an average of 10 per cent profit on war materials purchased in the United States. It was asserted authoritative ly that the government of the United States intended to buy it's own supplies at less than that rate of profit to the seller.
 The law invoked is Section of the last naval appropriation bill, as fol- lows:
 '"The president is authorized to re- quire the owner or occupier of any factory in which the ships or war materials are built or produced to place at the disposal Of the United States the whole or any part of the ,f,y,11 !, Co limit of the amounts appropriated therefor, to deliver such output or parts thereof in such quantities and at such times as may be specified in the order at such req soma ble price as shall be determined by the president"
 Behind that clause stand other lawa as a grim reminder of the purpose of congress to make its will effective. A section of the National Defense act makes 1t a felony, punishable by three years imprisonment and $5O.00O fine. to fail to meet the governments demands. Another section of the Navy bill authorizes the taking over and operation of all or any part of any plant.
 It is understood that the concern against which these statutes have been invoked refused to meet the governments requirements as to price when the orders were tender q orig inally and in the regular way So far as known. this is the only cas-, of the kind produced by the present emer- gency
 Standing out, sharply against this background came an announcement by Bernard Baruch, commissioner for minerals for the National Defense Council. of the voluntary offer of the prass-making industry to fill the gov ernments orders at cost of produc- ton. This followed the recent agree ment procured by MT. Baruch with the copper producers, and similar arr engagements now in process of com pletion with the steel and full oil producers.

We haven't a leg to stand on in support of this war declaratton."
 That the United States did not pro- test more vigorously against the British mine field blockade was the administrators great mistake. the senator said, and the real and pri- mary cause of an American war declaration.
 We have widowed in the mire at the feet of Great Britain and sub- mitted in silence to her dictation," he said. Because we acquiesced, we have a legal and moral responsibiltty to Germany. Thus we have been actively aiding her enemy in starving German women, children and old men. Germany waited three long months for this government to pros test. In principle, therefore, Germany had the right to blindly destroy ships by submarines and mines, in her own blockade zone. Germany is only doing what England is doing.
 Germany has been patient with us. standing strictly on her right to be accorded the same treatment as Eng land by us." K

A list of promotions issued today contains a brief announcement51 to this effect. It is not known wheth- CT General Foch has been assigned to4 some special political or military mist ly placed on the reserve through illS health and as having reached the ages limit. He is succeeded as general oft division by General Laboria, formerly chief of brigade.

 The Matin says that General Foch will remain on the active list but without command. His services will, be at the disposal of the minister of war.

When both his wings were being driven back, General Foch launched ter rifle attack against the German acen- { ter, which was completely successful and forced the entire German line in- to general retreat. Hurling his men through gap Intentionally ex- posed by his retiring foe, General Foch delivered the decisive blow of the tremendous conflict. Subsequcnt- ly he was given command of a group of armies and promoted grand officer in the legion of honor. King George of England conferred upon him the order of the Bath, first class.

- ON BACHELORS.

A bachelor Is an unmarried man. That is the simplest and at the same time the most unconvicting definition that can be given. Any variation one way or the other is dangerous. To, say a bachelor is young or old. to say he is beyond the pale of matrimony. is erroneous. The only safe bachelor is a dead bachelor.
 All men come into the world bachel- ors. Some retain their bachelorho ood by choice, others by fate. Others have it wished on them. Once g. bachelor, always and forever bachel- orhood is a game of hide and seek. Some are bachelors because they never come out in the 'open and get into the thick of the fight.
 Bachelors may be divided into two general classes-the common or gar den variety, and the aristocrats. In the first class are placed all those old warriors and war horses who meet the enemy on common ground, who fight the wiles and witchery of the gentler sex in the public mart, who brave the alluring charms of sweet femininity and who never marry. In the second class may be placed those members of the clan who because of riches thrust up2n them. or of for tunes amassed by their own ambition, bury themselves away in the pre- cincts of their private mansions or clubs and never run the chance of be- ing caught.
 A good bachelor,-there are few bad ones at large,-is always open to the guns of the enemy. He may at any moment be the victim of snipers. Cupid is ever shooting his arrows at the head and heart of the bachelor For the most part these darts fall to the ground pended and broken. They are as feathers trying to pen-

Queen Nab.

 A little fairy comes at night. Her eyes are blue, her hair is brown, With silver spots upon her wings. And from the moon she futters
 down.
 She has a little silver wand. And when a good child goes to bed She waves her hand from right to left,
 Y And makes . circle round it's head. And then it dreams of pleasant things. Of fountains filled with fairy fish. And trees that bear delicious fruit. And bow their branches at a wish. Of arbors filled with dainty scents From lovely flowers that never fade; Bright flies that glitter in the sun. And glowworms shining in the shade And talking birds with gifted tongues, For singing songs and telling tales, And pretty dwarfs to show the way Through fairy hills and fairy dales. But when a bad child goes to bed, From left to right she weaves her
 rings,
 And then it dreams all through the @ night Of only ugly, horrid things! The lions come with glaring eyes, And tigers growl, a dreadful noise, And ogres draw their cruel knives To shed the blood of girls and boys. Then stormy waves rush on to drown. Or raging flames come scorching round;
 Fierce dragons hover in the air, And serpents crawl along the
 ground. Then wicked children wake and weep. And wish the long black gloom
 away:
 But good ones love the dark and find The night as pleasant as the day.

A CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS DEcbA-
 RATION OF ALLEGIANCE.

It tiA
 In these days of acute intenseness, when the whole nation is on edge, when the nerves of it's citizens quiver with excitement every word recited by its leaders is eagerly grasped. Men are watchful. Patriotism is rife. In all walks of life there is a lookout for the viper Treason. The life of the nation, political, social, industrial, is keyed to high pitch. President Will son has sounded the clearest clarion note: ministers of the gospel, news paper editors, public orators, every body with spark of patriotism con- tributes to the volume of real Amert- can sentiment. Seldom have we seen anything more appropriate to the occasion that the subjoined declara- tion written by former pastor of the South church, who is now in Man chester, N. H., the Rev. Herbert Atchison Jump:
 'I believe in my beloved land America. and in her providential mis- sion to confer the gift of freedom upon all the world.
 II confess myself disciple of . courageous Christianity, willing to ex- press itself as patriotic loyalty to the flag whenever that flag moves forward into perilous places in behalf of free dom.
 1T espouse peace as the ultimate law of Gods kingdom on earth, and if war is necessary tolerate it and wage it only as the method, Gods grim and bitter method for the education of the morally backward members of the human family whose hearts are not yet ready for peace. If the way to the Christ's salvation lies only through the shadow of the cross, I am not surprised if God should lead us to peace over the storm swept fields of war.
 TT am ready to make any sac rifice of time, ability. money, loved ones or even life itself if these are necessary to help defend freedoms flag and to help guarantee the rights of freedom to my own people and to all the peoples of the world.
 "I offer my sincere support to the President and Congress in all they may determine for us in these days of national perplexity, believing that whatever differences of opinion may exist before our representatives speak should be swallowed up in splendid tide of cooperating loyalty the in- stant that the authoritative voice of the nation has uttered its4commands:
 Il would be worthy of the men in business, the professions, factories and college halls who have leaped to offer themselves to their country's need, and whose princely sacrifice shames any small thinking or selfish living on the part of any person for whom they are ready to die.
 T lift my prayer to the Father of all souls that he will save his frail children's hearts from all hate, error, injustice and cruelty, but also from and gross self-seeking, leading us whatever betide Of storm or calm by the patient figure of Jesus. the Son of Man, who himself once walked tempestuous seas, until finally we shall come in Gods own time to Q haven of Gods own choosing
