 ANOTHER STORY
 IN LEAK INQUIRY

Even Republicans Refrain From
 Comment on German Declaration.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Congress worked away today ili it's effort 10 clear the legislative calendar, calm and undisturbed by the grave inter national situation. There was an air of restrained excitement at the cap;- tOl, but leaders on both sides seemed disposed to await calmly action by President Wilson, and to suppress hasty utterances whidh might be em~ barfassing to him.
 In the house, the only reference fell from the lips of Majority Leader kltchins, who pleaded for reconsc- cration of patriotism to the union.
 "lt is incumbent, in this grave time, that every AmeriQ an citizen who loves his country" he sail, "and it IS doubly incumbent upon the Republi- cans in this house, to do everything that will promote national unity, na- ional love and national Fraternity"
 Senator Lodge and Senator McCum- Der, Republicans. delivered prepared speeches on President Wilson's world pcaqe address, prefacing their talks with words of caution. Senator Lodge declared that Germany had now heaped on the president a great responsibility. and added:
 "No word shall fall from my lips which might in any way be embar- rassing to him at such time"
 Senator Lodge sounded the warn ing that the international conditions are such that 'it might be better tc suffer the ills We have, than to fly to others we know not of"

 Branches aI All Schools.

Pine Bluffs school savings bank will open for the receipt of deposits Monday, organlzauon having been perfected, except that three of the ward schools are yet to elect their assistant cashiers.
 The organization of the schools savings bank was decided upon some time ago by the school authorities, after discussion with local bankers and business men, as a valuable means of instilling habits of thrift among the school children, and the children themselves have taken up the matter with enthusiasm.

Privileges of owning stock, or of otherwise participating in the busi- ness affairs of the bank, are limited to pupils, teachers and white Janltors of the schools.

Upon terminating con- nection with the schools, each stock holder must dispose of his stock to the bank or to another pupil, the bank agreeing to buy the stock at par, and must also close his deposltlng ac- count as the bank is exclusively for school children.
