THE COMING
 OF SPRING"

This great revolver called the earth will tonight reach that point in it's annual circuit which is called the yer nal equinox, and which marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. Officially this S the last day of winter, and tomorrow morn ing we shall awake to find spring all ready several hours old. It is true that the calendar is not very depend able in marking off the seasons, for spring weather is already an old story in southern climes, while in the north la6d King Winter will continue his reign for several weeks before Miss Spring becomes sufficiently lusty to bounce him off the throne.
 The eQuinoxes which mark the ar rival of spring and autumn, and the selstices which presage summer and winter, gain scant attention from the average person. To the fair sex, spring does not really begin until Eas- ter raiment and millinery have been donned-Easter falls this year on the eighth of April. Those of masculine persuasion date spring from the first league ball game, and to the dyed in the wool fan all other signs are spu- rious. Some men refuse to accept spring asa reality until they have put on their oldest clothes and ressurrect- ed their fishing tackle for a day of angling. The circus poster is the true harbinger of spring to the small boy. A day on the links is the spring festival of an increasingly large num- Der of people.
 Perhaps the most ancient of spring customs, and one that is happily pass ing, is that of dosing the children with sulphur and molasses, while their el- ders are forced by grandma to swal- low nauseous compounds of ''yarbs."'

Secretary Lane Pleased
 By Courts Decision


 New York, March 20.-When in- formed that the supreme court had upheld the constitutionality of the Adamson law Secretary Lane, spokes- man for the mediation committee of the council of national defense, said:
 Tt Is extremely gratifying to us. It justifies, the interest we took in secur- ing postponement for two days so that no strike occurred, traffic was not tied up, industries were not af- fected, and the organization of the railroads was left intact.
 We have now an interpretation of the meaning of the Adamson law framed by the brotherhoods them selves and accepted by the railroad managers. so that danger of confused construction or lengthy delay in put ting it's provisions into effect has been avoided"

U. s. Envoy Reports
 Czar's Publication

Washington, March 20-Official news of the abdication of Emperor Nicholas of Russia for himself and his son and indications that the working men's committee was opposing mon- arcfy of any sort and demanding a social republic, were reported to the state department yesterday in cable gram from Ambassador Francis, dated March IT..
 Officials were deeply interested in the reference to the worlingmen's de- mands because danger to Russa's fur ther efforts in the war has been felt to lie as much in extreme radicalism as in counter revolution by the court party Later unofficial dispatches have indicated that a compromise has been reached between the duma and the workingmen.

PUBLISHERS HAVE
 AGREED TO ADOPT NEWS CENSORSHIP
Voluntarily They Will Re- frain from Making Public
 Certain War News

Washington, March 20AAfter a. conference between Secretary Daniels and representatives of the leading American press associations the gov- ernment has begun preparation of de- finite regulations to guide the press in voluntary suppression of information which might be of value to an enemy. The question or armed American mer- chant craft was discussed particular ly, but the regulations will be broad enough to cover any naval movements the government deems 1t advisable to keep secret
 E The press associations have assured Secretary Daniels of their desire to CO., operate and in the absence of authori- ty for imposing a legal censorship will be bound by the governments re- quests. Before the regulations are ap- proved they will be submitted both to the associations and to managing editors of newspapers for discussion and suggestion.
 MT. Daniels took occasion to inform the press generally that his recent re- quest that movements of American merchant ships be withheld from pub@ lication, did not mean that arrivals of such ships in American or European ports should not be reported. Such arrivals" the Secretary said, ''couId not easily afford any information that might jeopardize life and such news would be of the deepest interest to the public and should be published" MT. Daniels also gave assurances that no effort would be made to suppress the news if American ships should be sunk.
 eff there should be any disaster, of course," he said, ''the information would be furnished, and it would be expected that the papers would print the facts.",
 The departments statement regard ing the conference follows: 7
 t"The representatives of the press associtions stated that they would will lingly and gladly and voluntarily sub ject themselves without law to the same censorship which might be inn posed by law. They were willing to abide by any regulations of the de- partments necessary in connection with any movements of ships or ar- mics that the government felt might be prejudicia1 to the carrying out of government policies. They desired to be informed of the wishes of the government, so that there would be no doubt of the character of the news which ought not to be printed.
 'It was decided that Major McAr- thur of the War Department, Com mander Belknap of the Navy Depart ment and representative of the State Department would draw up tentative rules and regulations of censorship, and when completed they would be submitted to the representatives, of the news associations and managing editors of papers in coast cities and interior centres for consideration and criticism. After the exchange of views, the rules and regulations will be passed upon and promulgated by the three departments which are charged with international and mili- tary duties'
 Major McArthur and Commander Belknap, who will represent the War and Navy departments respectively il, framing the regulations, have been acting as censors of the departments in advising the secretaries what nili- tary information should be made pub lie.

LETTER TO LORD. WELLINGTON
 (Continued)

Yes, treason, my lord-you stole in the capital under the sacred garb of a friend and champion, and after be- traying us retired with that of plunderer/ Like a physician who comes to cure the plague, while he engenders the leprosy teemtng rom his own ulcers. You nave been called the Washington of the age, but that hero. would have supported and foi- lowed his friend to the scaffold, While you my lord would not only abandon but drag him into it. It is in the power of the meanest to triumph over fallen greatness, but high and ele- vated minds soar above such deprav- ity.
 You have forgotten, or never knew, my lord, that he conQuers twice who conquers in victory. But admitting that it was necessary for you to at tempt the justification of interposing your authority, in favor of these ampions of the rights of men, these magnanimous allies, why after urging all in your power to palliate your in- justice, that you may escape censure, why carry your animosity towards us so far as to seek to punish what you are pleased to style our arrogance And then too our morals must receive a lesson An English General teach ing morality to the French? And that too in letter to that noted tar turf Lord Castlebragh. Pray. my, lord. where did you imbibe those les- sons of morality? On the shores of the Ganges, or the plains of Hindo- stan, where millions of human beings with their legitimate sovereigns have been fmmoIated, to- satiate the thirst of British dominion; from the inquisi- tors. of Spain; whom you assisted to raise the funeral pile and turn the i'm. quisitorial wheel to enslaVe and sub due their fellow subjects, or from the conflagration of Copenhagen or Wash ington, the crimes of Hampton or Kingston, the revolting scenes of the Chesapeake, or the black hole of Cal cutta, or from the desolating and de- tructive policy which hangs over and prays upon your native country
