the condition Of the bridge is such
that the children should not have to
cross 1t. It is inches deep in mud
and water. and every passing auto
throws the fifth over the pedestrian.
The construction Of a walk along the
bridge is a pressing need. but even
that would not take the place Of the

would be sufficient, and there are

that the government actively assist

he addresses congress. as he said he
would do. to obtain necessary pro-
lection for Americans and their prop
erty before he sanctions arming OF
merchant ships.
This. II is pointed out. would be
in line with his avowed intention OF
taking no premature step that might
be construed by Germany As a bellig-
erent one and thereby give Germany
n chance to put responsibility ON the
United States.
A virtual blockade Of American
ports. resulting from Germany's latest
submarine decree. has resulted in ae-
emulation Of economic embarrass-
ments. which the president believes
demand some action by this govern
ment.
He has received information that
railroads are holding up all ship
ments Of goods designed for exporta-
tion from eastern ports; grain eleva-
tors In the heart Of the country are
closing down as the result of this
and. in spite Of increased demurrage
rates. railroad cars are piling up in
the big cities and there lying idle.
These are only the first results Of
the blockade. Administration OF
acials believe that within short time
other conditions are bound to arise
which will cause public sentiment
throughout the country to demand
