Dear Miss Grey: I have
been going with young man
for more than a year. He has
given me good times and taken
me where l have met Mica
people. But during all this
time he has never said he
cares for me. Most of the
young men who have called on
me for any length of time have
told me how much they liked
me and remarked about my
clothes and good looks. This
man never says anything of the
kind, tho l know he notices
these things. He often jokes
about marriage. and says he
does not believe in 1t. When
he acts like that l act very in
different, tho / really do care
for him, and know he could
marry IL he would. Do you
think he is trying to find out
how feel about it?

IL is probably true that the man
means what he says; that he is i'm

ward him. Desirable men do not

Speech Won the Day.

1t was this speech which won the
day. The managers went back to their
conference and voted unanimously to
yield.
Through Elisha Lee, chairman of the
managers committee, they sent a
formal letter to the mediators author
izing them to make the agreement.
This letter read:
In the national crisis precipitated by
events of which we heard this after
noon the national conference commit
tee of railroads joins with you in the
conviction that neither at home nor
abroad should there be fear or hope
that the efficient operation of the rail-
roads of the country will be hampered
or impaired.
Therefore you are authorized to as
sure the nation there will be no strike,
and as a basis for such assurance we
hereby authorize the committee of the
council of national defense to grant to
the employees who are about to strike
whatever adjustment your committee
deems necessary to guarantee the un-
interrupted and efficient operation of
the railroads as an Indispensable arm of

Brotherhood Chiefs Stand Firm.

He called in the brotherhood chiefs
late in the afternoon and proposed they
agree to accept nine-hour day Tor the
period of one year. with an assurance
that after that they would be given an
eight-hour day. He pointed out that
in view of the previous position OF the
managers it might be difacult 10 set
their consent but he would make every
effort to obtain it. He pointed out the
vast advantage which would accrue TO
the brotherhoods' with the people of the
nation if in the face of the existing m

a willingness to yield. Their refusal
was steadfast and arguments failed to
move them, although Mr.. Gompers and
Mr.. Wilson both urged them to agree to
this proposal.
When Mr. Lane saw that it was use
less to talk further with the chiefs he
turned to the railroad managers again,
and this time he talked only on the
theme of patriotism. He pictured Uncle

Il,H|NA'S PROCLAMATION
'OF BREAK W|THGERMAN
Copy Of Document, Accompanied by
Explanatory Message, Received
by Legation Here.

A COPY of President Lii Yuan Hung's s
proclamation announcing China's sew
erance of relations with Germany has
been received at the Chinese legation
here, together with a message saying
that the various departments of the
Chinese government had been instruct
ed to devise measures for the protec-
tion of German residents in China and
take other necessary steps in con-
formity with the established principles
of International law"
Text of Proclamation.
The proclamation. issued March IA,
the day the German minister was hand
ed his passports. is as follows:
Since the beginning of the European
war China had steadfastly maintained
neutrality.
quite Unexpectedly on the I'd of
February the Chinese government re-
ceived a communication from the i'm
perial German government with regard
10 its new policy of unrestricted sub
marine warfare, causing it to be known
that from the said date navigation for
neutral vessels in certain defined zones
would be exposed to danger.
Cites Loss of Life.
"As the loss to China both in life
and in property arising from the de-
struction rof merchantmen by subma-
rines had already been considerable.
ard as the new policy was bound to
cause greater loss to China, the Chinese
government, out of her respect for the
sanctity of international law and for
the sake of giving necessary protection
TO the lives and property of Chinese
citizens, made vigorous protest TO
the imperial German government de-
claring that unless Germany aban-
doned her new policy China would be
compelled to break off diplomatic rela-
tions with her.
TN taking this step China was in
hope that Germany might, in order to
preserve the existing friendly rela-
tions between these two nations, deem
1t advisable to so modify it's policy as
to meet the wishes of the Chinese gov
ernment
ITO the regret of the Chinese govern
ment, since the protest of China was
made fully a month ago, the unre-
stricted submarine warfare has not
been abandoned, but, on the contrary,
many more vessels of different ma
tions had been sunk, causing the loss
of many Chinese lives and a great deal
of Chinese property.

DANIELS DREW COLOR LINE.
"Prefer Not to Discuss" Matter Of

The color line was drawn by thu

a recent hearing on the navy estimates
before the house naval affairs commit
tee Various recommendations for
meeting the shortage of officers and
men for the navy had been proposed
by DR.. Daniels. none Of which seemed
to the members of the committee to be
entirely adequate. Representative Os-
car Galloway, Democrat. of Texas, fin
ally asked the secretary what he
thought about the advisa bility OF OBJ
tanning negro recruits. calling his at
tention to statements of army officers
that the negro troops were good SOL
diers and good fighters.
Secretary Daniels did not approve
the suggestion. Instead, he waved his
hand to the committee stenographer.
asking that his reply not be made a
part Of the record, and then, leaning
back in his chair. said:
Mr.. Galloway, IL you will excuse
me would prefer not to discuss that
matter"
During further discussion Of the per-
sonnet problem Mr.. Daniels told tho
committee that he favored giving men
in the navy increased pay rather than
offering a bonus for enlistment. He
said he wanted the regulations so con-
stituted that men would look upon
service in the navy as a career rather
than as temporary employment--New
