WAITING SEEMS
 NECESSARY TO
 JUSTIFY ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - Be- cause of serious doubt in the mind of President Wilson in ref erence to nhes real intention of official heads of the German sub- marine activities, no action shall be taken for a few days to relieve the ship hlocade of the American ports.
 President Wilson is said to be- lieve that the next few days will show how far Germany intends to press her announced hostile policy against the neutrals. Un- der that belief, the president says that caution is necessary, while the relations are strained The administration today is urging upon congress the import ance of immediate action in order to complete the fertilization of the Panama Canal and its ap- breaches. Likewise the natural ization of all Porto -Ricans that
 in the event of war. the people may be trusted with affairs in their locality. The fortifcation of the Island is also urged upon congress-
 { Another important step the ad- ministration is urging upon COM gress today is the espionage biE which provides a severe penalty for spying, or any other conspir- acies to violate American Neu- trality.

 The piano numbers by Miss Gussie Leonard and Miss Ruth Lindman were very good, and both young ladies responded to encores.
 Margaret Pennycook recited Riley's "The Raggedy Man. so we'll that she had to give another selection in response to the sp- pl 4Use that followed.
 The Service poems given by Alfred Royalty, Miss Gussie Leon- ard and Marion Myers were great ly enjoyed, and very creditably delivered.
 Mrs. Johnson sang Roeckel's Hungarian Love Song" and the audience asked for more, and she responed with Hamilton Gray's "Tbe Purple Heather. ," Mrs. Johnson always holds the audience, and makes them feel with her, the music that she sings. Mir. Warren acted as ac- companist for both songs.
 Mir. Pennycook contributed another Scotch Song, Tn The Morning." with his usual success, and when his second number "Cronies O. Mine" was over and those present, like Oliver Twist wanted more, he came back with a negro dialect song which proved his versatility.
 The playlet by the younger boys "An Old Chestnut Newly Roasted" " was decidedly amusing and Eddie Loftus, as George Washington. had the audience with him from beginning to end. Mrs. Warren sang Nevin's Little Boy Dlue," and "The Rosary" for an encore number. Both selections were very pleas ing. MT. Warren was accompan- ist. :. Mrs. Burnet's Interpretation of the three Service poems "Fleurette" having been added to those on the program, was masterly. In reponse to the ap- preeiative applause, she rendered "The Clock" which proved al great favOrite.
 One of the features of the en- tertainment was the Wecelu art gallery, arranged by the older boys, and a large number of wis., itors to the gallery testified that the pictures were just as adver- tised, None better, none worse; they are different.
