Then. comfortable in slippers and old clothes. he proceeded to can in their friends. Al least he proceeded 10 call them us. He did not call them in. They would not come in. That is, they would not come odt. The list or friends grew long, but ir response to new invitations came the same old responses Sorry, but my wife has been out all day and it is too cold for ner to try it again tonight Sorry we were planning to have a little company ourselves Sorry, but got home late and am a pit tired to- night
 The man of the house closed the telephone book and came back to his leather chair. His wife collected the afternoon papers and the latest maga- zines and her newest tablecloth and her last piece of crochet, and drew her wicker chair up beside him. They were comfortably settled and begin hing 10 be rather glad that the friends had been so unanimously engaged at home when their own telephone rang. IL was another friend. one that they had not ventured to call because he lived an unreasonable distance from the farthest car line. He said that they had a wonderful wood fire and a good bit of stuff in the house to eat. and he wondered if they would like to come out. The man of the house fumbled and stuttered and said that he would ask his wife, but that he was afraid she wasn't quite up to it that night. He did ask her. She certainly Was not up to it. Whats the matter with our own fire?" she asked. I'd like to go all right. out 1t is so very pleasant here. I wish they could come in and see us. It's so far to that csr line, and it's miles up that hill to their house."
 The man of the house returned to the telephone and ma naged, somehow, to transform his regrets into an urg- ent invitation that the dwellers on the hill come in and sit by his fire. Of course. they would not. That was the way it was all round, and everybody stayed at home that winter night. It may have been because everybody was selfish or because nobody wanted to founder through the snow, but it was. more likely, because of the sim pie and everlasting truth that our own fires are best--From the Indian apolis News.

GOVERNOR SENDS TWO SPE-
 CAL MESSAGES TO HOUSE

Little Rock. Feb. 1.-Gov. Brough sent two special messages to the House yesterday. One urged the pas sage of the bill by Senator Moncrief to authorize the issuance of $750,000 in short term notes to cover the de- ficiencies in the general revenue fund which it is calculated will have acr crued by July l. The House then pro- ceeded to pass the bill with only seven dissenting votes by Representatives Copeland of Izard, Holloway, Humph- rey, Owens, Stevens, Waggoner and Wagon. A sinking fund is created that it is estimated will discharge the debt in about sixteen years. This Is the method advocated by Gov. Brough for putting the State back on a cash basis.
 The second message was an argu- ment in favor of the passage of the Collier Hardage bill to abolish the present Board of Control of State charitable institutions and the substi- tuition of an honorary board of chari- ties and corrections. This is the bill which had been returned by the joint committee with an unfavorable re- port.

QlRMARINE EFFORT
 TO STARvE ENGLAND
IT S. Favors Severance of DiplO-
 matic Relations-Hindenburg
 Evolves Policy Never Dreamed of by Tirpitz.
TO USE NEW SUBMARINES

Germany's decision to wage a great s,bmarine sea war shows she has coached her crisis and has nothing more to lose, according to an article bv Karl H. von Weigand, staff cores nondent of the International News Service
 The paragraph in Von Weigand's article in which he forecasts the prob- abilitv of another submarine cam paign, follows:
 "Germany will repart from her pres ent submarine policy and promise to President Wilson only when Hinden- burg and Ludendorff consider that that is necessary to save Germany, and then will be able to get the con- sent of Bethmann- Hollweg and the kaiser to a ruthless policy at sea only when there is nothing more to lose, when the fate of the country can be made no harder and when break with the United States no longer means anything to Germany. That is my personal opinion based upon my knowledge of the men and the situa- tion in Germany"

declared unrestricted submarine war fare.
 A starvation blockade of England, the like of which the world never has seen, was announced today, beginning Feb. l, in notes delivered to American Ambassador Gerard in Berlin and to the State Department by Count von Bernstorff. Thus begins the long-feared cam paign of ruthlessness conceived by von Hindenburg, it is said here. on a magnitude never even contemplated by von Tirpitz.
 Again the United States faces se- verance of diplomatic relations with Germany with all it's eventual possi- bilities. President Wilson's repeated warnings of "a world afire" and Sec retary Lansing's "verge of war" state ment are being recalled in the capital tonight with feelings of apprehension and misgiving.
 Germany's action is the supercrisis of all those that have stirred the American government in two and a half years of world war Peace and means of preserving peace have gone glimmering.
 President Wilson, incredulous al first when the unofficial text of Ger many's warning was brought to him at once called for the official docu- ment, which had just been presented to Secretary Lansing by the German ambassador. MT. Lansing refused tc make a comment. MT. Wilson began at once a careful study of the docu ment.
 Three Courses for U. s.
 The president has hte task of decid ing what shall be the course of tn, United States. Three immediate steps appear among the possibilities. Th' United States might solemnly war i Germany against violation of he pledges; it might be decided that tn, German warning is sufficient notice O an intention to disregard those pledg es and sufficient warrant for break ing off diplomatic relations; it migh be decided to await the results of tn blockade and determine the course O the United States as the actual opera tions develop.
 On almost every side Germany drastic action is interpreted as a open confession of the effectiveness O the British food blockade. It is re garded as a determination to strik back in kind. German officials in tn United States estimate the food sup ply on the British Isles will last month.
 Conveyed to the world as her an swer to the refusal of the entent allies to talk peace, Germany's lates warning says
 "From Feb. l. 1917, within barre zones around Great Britain, France Italy and in the eastern Mediterranea all sea traffic forthwith will be op posed"

in tn life of many farmers who are
selling the present crop,

BRITISH CAPTURE JERUSAL EN-!
SAVING MORE MEN.
COAL AND LOCOMOTIVES

Reports just complied show that Ia
the beginning of the war the railroads
in the fifteen states OF the Central
Military Department have made reduc.
tons in passenger service aggre.
eating 10, o57, 5000 train miles per
apnum.
BY thus decreasing their passenger
service the railroads in this territory
have effected a saving per annum Of
1,l76,Oss tons of coal, 369 locomotives,
1,94l men and 2o3,S barrels of oil.
The reductions in passenger service
which have been made by all the rail-
roads in the United States amount to
over 100000 train miles per year.
said Il. II. Ashton, Chairman of the
Central Department Committee of the
Railroads War Board. These reduce
tons are made solely to enable the
railroads to handle the freight service
deemed more necessary for the coun-
try's welfare, with the one great object
Of winning the war.
Because Of different conditions pre-
vailipg twas not necessary to make as
extensive reductions in passenger train
service in Western as in Eastern terri.
tory. Passenger traffic never was so
heavy as it is now and the service must
be maintained to the fullest extent
possible. However, should war condi-
tions create an emergency requiring
further reductions in passenger service
we are fully confident that the Ameri-
can public will cheerfully cooperate
in our aim to do what is best for the
naton.'
