The British guns had long range and Paul Jones determined to fight close. He brought his ships up to the enemy until the muzzles of his guns came in contact with the enemy ships. Then ensued one of the most frenzied conflicts in the history of naval battles, continuing from seven to ten in the evening. Paul Jones' position was desperate in the extreme. His ship was so shattered that only three guns remained effective, and he then assailed the enemy with hand grenades which falling into the Serapis soon set her on fire. At length her magazine blew up killny all near 1t. Pearson commanded his officers who wanted to surrender to board the Richard which was alse now ablaze in several places.

PRESIDENT TO
LEARN POWER

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 5.
President Wilson has asked the
legal authorities of the govern
ment to give him a formal opin-
ion within "a hours as to whether
he has the power to furnish navy
armament for American mer-
ohantmen without special author
ization by congress.
Upon this decision depends
whether the president will go
ahead despite the senate's failure
to act on the armed neutrality
measure and take the steps which
he has feared he did not have the
power to take.
If the president finds he has
the power it probably will ldelay
his calling an extra session of
congress.
On the other hand, If his legal
advisers report that he has not
the necessary authority without a
special enactment, he will call an
extra session just as soon as the
senate acts upon revision of the
rules and will re-introduced his
armed neutrality" request.

She declared that although
she sounded her horn, and made

machine, he unconsciously stepped
across the pavement and was
struck by the rear fender as the

Trapped in his home early
Monday morning when fire en-

child under each arm, crawled
through a bedroom window to the

neighbors assisted the children to
the ground. Then Bendrick re-
turned and saved his wife.
The Bendrick home and store
were destroyed. The residence of
John Bardzerski, next door, was
also ruined, and the residence of
Joe Phwloski was scorched. Fire
apparatus had been removed from
the vicinity, for purposes of econ
omy, and fire men reached the
corner too late to save the build
ings. Total loss was $4,000.

"The senate of the United
States is the only executive body
in the world which cannot act
when its majority is ready for
action.
1.-The remedy? There is but one
remedy. The only remedy is
that the rules of the senate shall
be so altered that 1t can act. The
country can be relied upon to
draw the moral. l believe that
the senate can be relied on to sup
ply the means of action and save
the country from disaster"
The presidents belief that he
had the power to arm merchant
ships despite the action of the
senate was dissipated when his
| legal advisers discovered a statute
passed by congress in 1919 dis
| sipating this idea.
The statute in question pro-
vides that "the commander and
crew of any merchant vessel of
the United States, owned wholly
or in part by a citizen thereof,
may oppose and defend against
aggression which shall be at
tempted upon such vessel by the
commander and crew of any
armed vessel whatsoever NOT be-
ing a public armed vessel of some
nation in amity with the United
States"
This is the law which is re-
ferred to by those demanding ex-
ira powers for the president.
Senators Lodge, Hitchcock and
others declared in the senate de-
bate that to arm merchant vessels,
unless the power asked by the
president was authorized, would
give the vessels the status of pri-
vateers and their crews pirates.
Submarines, officials declare,
are public vessels OF country
not at war with the United States
and hence the presidents hands
are tied.

IL forcefulness, executive abil-
ity, sound character, exceptional
leadership and a tendency toward
world thinking" are presidential
qualifications then U. s. Senator
Hiram w. Johnson of California
is likely to dump" his way into
the White House four years hence.
These are q few of the out
standing physiognOmy signs OF
Johnson's character as seen in his
photograph.
The man whose presidential
possibilities are being widely dis
cussed has what we call an open"
face. The features are distinct
and well separated.
His propensity is to give out,
to spend himself, rather than to
gather into use his talents for
public service rather than for per-
sonal qualification
Humanitarian inclinations are
marked in the facial mold.
Hiram Johnson would have
made physician of high order.
Temperamentally well blended,
the vital and mental phases con-
troll, the vital adding health, good
nature, friendliness and staying
power to the intellectual.
The hooded eye advertises
shrewdness, and it's nearness to
the brain, the well organized mind,
with reason predominating. And
the fullness under the eyes, as
we'll as the shape of the mouth,
bespeak the born orator.
Firmness, determination and
self control characterize the
mouth, the fndented corners and
lower lip showing magnanimity
and nobility.

head marked leadership, logged
persistence and vigorous mascu-
Unity.
Leadership is further empha-
sized in the nose, the wide nostrils
together with width of head in
dcating elaboration and diplo-
macy.
The wide head also denotes
breadth of view and progressive
ism, which, taken in conjunction
with the unusual development of
language. leads naturally to the
political arena and public service.
In combination the qualities
enumerated shape the pioneer OF
thought and action. the reformer,
the dissenter, the disturber of old
orders and traditions.
Length of the upper lip further
shows originality.
Warmth, social propensities and
personal magnetism are promi-
nently in evidence. augmented by
the vital temperament.
Self esteem is apt to become a
stumbling block for men in whom
it is as highly developed as in
Senator Johnson. II gives that
self-reliance and assurance which
are necessary in leadership and
public place, but, overbalanced,
also gives impatience, extreme
sensitiveness to criticism. often in
tolerance and dictatorship.
Senator Hiram Johnson belongs
to the wide heads" who rule the
world. His bumps" ought to
carry him far.
