 ''Yes," said the Lady-who-always- knows-somehow, placidly, II know. I've heard him talk about them be- fore"
 You've heard it all before and you encouraged him to do 1t again." echoed the Authorman increduously. You can't mean it, Lady," He Grew Ten Years Younger in Ten

 The Lady laughed. "But I do," she eaid. "And it was hard on you peo- pie wasn't it? But you see, he look ed so sad and old when you people were talking about the good times you've been having. And I like him and I know how little pleasure he has and I wanted to do something for him. So gave him a chance to talk, on purpose. And didn't you see how he changed? Why he grew ten years younger in ten minutes. And when we left. his eyes were positive ly shining. I'm sorry for you people. but to tell the honest truth I'd do it again. You have so much more than he. Does that make you awfully angry with me?'
 "Angry?" said the Authorman, Hardly! Perhaps I'll even be decent enough to help you next time."
 Thank you" said the Lady. A Way of Giving Open to All of Us.
 "You do that sort of thing all the time, don't your" said the Authorman ref1ectively.
 Indeed I don't" said the lady. 1T wish you wouldn't say such things. always mean to do 1t more and then I'm careless. It really is way of giving that we don't think enough about.

Miss Antel impersonated the character of a motherless child. 8 niece of David Moore, played by Harry Hamilton, whose sister left home a number of years before and returned with a child who was left in charge of David. After her death David takes charge of the child but his wife, Susan, inter- preted by Miss Margie Dow, and their daughter, Elizabeth, portrayed by Miss Virginia Perry, who as usual, de-

Jellicoe Praises Merchant Marines
 of British Ships

London, March 23.-British mer- chant marines have received high praise from Sir John Jellicoe, first sea lord of the admiralty, for their courage in fighting off German sub- marines. Writing to the president of the Clude Steamship owners associa- tion, Sir John declared:
 '"The royal and allied navies and the mercantile marine are working to- gether to overcome the greatest men ace with which this country and the allies ever have been faced and the heroism shown by officers and men of the mercantile marine and their un- faltering resolution deserves not only the confidence but the gratitude and sincerest admiration of the whole na- ton
 Experts engaged by the Chamber of shipping have given their opinion that one or more guns mounted on the stern of merchant steamers give suffi- cient protection against submarine at- tack. In announcing this at the meet ing of the chamber, William H. Rae burn, the president, said that some critics previously had asserted that the merchant vessels should carry also a gun mounted on the bow MT. Rae burn said that the British shipown- CTS had begged for guns for more than a year believing they were one of the best methods of preventing attacks bv U-boats. He said the merchants now were satisfied with the vigor with which the admiralty was a11ning the ships

 MT. Asquith, having expressed pro- found qualification at the Chancellor's s announcement, said:
 ''I think it better to make the at tempt and fail than not to make 1t at all ,and I am certain the Government will have not only the sympathy but the active cooperation of the whole House."
 In the Hobbies, MT. Bonar Laws an- nouncement was warmly welcomed. The general impression is that the Government will appoint a commis- sion, on which the Colonial repre- sentatives now in England will sit.

NEW MINISTER OF JUSTICE
 DENIES REPORTED FRICTION
 OVER RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.

Petrograd, March 23.-Speaking in the energetic and forceful manner that characterizes all his utterances the new minister of justice, A. Fl Ker- nesky, in an interview with the corre- spondent of the Associated Press de- cried all rumors of friction or discord between the workingmen soldiers and the new government. M. Kernesky, who Is a member of the radical work lngmens party, emphatically denied that there was any latent dissatisfac- uon Tn his or any other party which might burst forth in d fresh revolt. He said:
 In my appointment to this post you have the best pledge that the rad 1cal elements of the nation are in sympathy with the government. If any serious disagreement existed at the beginning between the workingmen and the duma committee it was only a passing symptom of fever attending the birth of new nation. I can as- sure you that every difference has dis appeared and that every element of the country stands behind the govern ment. Naturally differences of opin- ion exist between me and Other mem- bers of the cabinet, but each conflict has resulted in a firm agreement on all the main issues''
 The minister said all suppositions that the soldiers and the workingmen were opposed to carrying on the war were without basis.
 My visit to Moscow, whence I re- turned this morning." he continued, satisfied me that the whole army, from the commander down to the last soldier, are eagerly devoted to a con

REFUSE TO FREE 1000 AMERICANS
 HELD PRISONERS
Germany Flatly Refuses to Guarantee Safe Conduct
 From Syria. !.

Washington, March 23-Turkey has again notified the State Depart ment that neither Germany nor Aus tria-Hungary had indicated a willing ness to give assurances for the safe passage of the American cruiser Des Moines and the American Naval col Her Caesar from Alexandria, Egypt, to Beirut to deliver relief supplies to the destitute Syrians and to bring out 1000 or more American refugees.
 The plight of the Americans strand ed at Beirut is causing increasing con- cern here, for officials feel they vir- tually have exhausted every dplomiat- ic resource to reach them. Arnbassa- dor Elkins is expected to renew his efforts for a safe conduct, but in the face of the growing seriousness of the situation between the United States and Germany there is little hope that any guarantees will be given making it safe for the American vessels to proceed through the mined and pa trolled waters to their destination.
 Turkey some time ago consented to give such guarantee for herself, but Germany and Austria apparently have been procrastinating.
 The Caesar, loaned to the Red Cross by the Navy Department, left New York last December as 8 Christians ship for the needy in Syria. She car- ries more than quarter million dol lars worth of food and clothing con- tributed in this country. The Des Moines transshipped medical supplies needed in Syria to stop the spread of disease.
 The State Department has instruc- ted Ambassador Elkins, through whom today's communication was transmitted, to make every effort to secure full and complete assurance from Turkey and her Allies. What the Americans at Beirut may be suffering meantime is unknown here, though it Is hoped the British advance soon may extend far enough to free some ." them.

LAW COMP ARES RUSSIAN REVOLT
 TO THE FRENCH
Says Uprising Is Like That of Early Days in Frances
 Revolution.

London, March 23.-Andrew Bonar Law, member of the British war coun- cil, on moving in the house of com mons yesterday afternoon resolution of greeting to the Russian duma, said:
 Events in Russia have been fol- low one another with such startling rapidity in the last 3 days that they have arrested the attention of the whole world even amid the greatest convulsion ever brought upon the earth by the action of man.
 ''What happened in Russia reminds us of the early days of the French revolution. It is too soon to say all danger is over in Russia"
 Ther seolution was carried amid loud cheers.
 The Irish party gave it's support to the Russian resolution in a speech by oseph Devlin.
 '"The Irish party" said MT. Dev- lin, regards the Russian revolution striking, noble, dramatic, we'll nigh bloodless-as a message of hope to all oppressed peoples and all freedom loving nations. But 1t is something more. It is also a warning and DOT tend of doom to autocracies and ty- rannies everywhere.
 we might draw a moral there from, but we do not desire to avail ourselves of the. opportunity, prefer ring to let the voice of Ireland join in the united harmony of rejoicing at Russia's emancipation"

tinuance of the war. l found there a better demonstration than one could get in Petrograd of the new unity of the nation The acclamations which followed my declaration before large gatherings of the cooperation exist ing between all classes and the gov- ernment left no doubt as to the sim cere desire of the population. There, are, of course, elements throughout the world which are against the war, but the majority in Russia is deter mined to finish it, and not a single element stands out for a separate peace"
 Answering a question regarding the final form of the new government, M. Kerensky said:
 ''I am republican and think know what kind of government Russia wants, but, as a member of the government, will not try to bring any pressure on the popular opinion which will render the decision. The keynote of the new government will be tolerance toward all. The mem bers of the old government who are under arrest will be given a regular trial. There will be no summary mili- tary procedure, no courts martial and I believe that I can promise you that capital punishment will be de- finitely abandoned in the near future.
 Among other reforms will be the establishment of freedom of the press and the Russian press will soon be- come, I hope, as liberal and outspoken as the American press, which I have always admired The new govern ment will be based on respect for the rights of mankind"

IRISH HOME RULE QUESTION TO BE.
 TAKEN UP AGAIN
BOnar Law Announces Gov ernment Has Decided to
 Try Once More.

London, March 23-During the House of Commons debate last night on resolution by Sir James Henry Dalziel Giberal) urging the govern ment to make another attempt to set tie the Irish difficulty, Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar Law announced that the government already had de- cided to make such an attempt. So the DalZiel resolution was vo.ed down.
 The Nationalists, considering that they had already stated their position, did not participate in the debate, which manifested a strong desire for a settlement on the part of all the Unionist and Liberal speakers, with one exception-Lord Hugh Cecil, who refused to believe that war time is favorable to such an attempt.
 Two Scraps of Paper.
 The Da1Ziel resolution urged the government to take immediate steps to bring about a settlement of the Irish question. Sir James argued:
 Ireland is weak spot. in the great task before the country and l point a commission to endeavor to
 
 controversy. Great Britain entered the war for a scrap of paper, but I cannot forget the existence of an Irish scrap of paper, endorsed by the will of the British people. It would be impossible for the government to persevere with it's motion to extend the life of the present Parliament. If there was a solid body of opinion in the House of Commons against them, and every days delay is Recruiting a supporter to the physical force party in Ireland"
 Ronald McNei1 (Unionist) in be- half of Ulster county, entered a strong protest against the suggestion of John Dillon in the House Tuesday night that there have been negotia- tions' between the Ulster leaders and Baron Kuhlmann. He declared this a trumped-up charge and said it will prove a great obstacle to a settlement of the Home Rule question. He further expressed the belief that the states men of the dominions would refuse to touch this Irish Commission with barge po1e.''
 MT. Bonar Law welcomed the tone of the debate. He declared:
 Blot on British Statesmanship.
 Far from desiring a general eIec- ton on the Irish question, as has been suggested. I would detest such an idea The present situation, how ever, Is a blemish on British states manship, besides being a handicap in carrying on the war. All parties agree that it is impossible to impose settlement on Ulster by force.
 The Government is anxious for a settlement, but sacrifices must be madeon all sides. I hope Ulster will prove less adamant, and if the Ma t1onalists will openly avow their readiness to act with the same spirit of the British parties our task will prove a much easier one If we make another attempt and fail the position will be worse. But we have decided, In spite of the risk, that it is worth

importance Great Britain attaches to the submarine war and the cares that Ibeset our bitterest enemy. Great Brit aims importation is small and win Joe restricted still further by our subma- rines. I'm this way the stocks in Great Britain will be diminished.
 ''The bad international harvest is not accidental. It is due to the scar city of saltpetre and the worlds next harvest will be bad, owing to the same cause. Germany now has the lowest grain prices in the, world. It is due to our firmly fixed policy since the beginning of the war. Present condi- tions will continue to prevail after the conclusion of peace, so that no progressive decrease in prices will oc- cur in other countries. Furthermore, we shall all receive no grain from abroad, and must take precautions that none be exported.
 { "Our industries have fulfilled all expectations. The railroads have worked splendidly. The war boards have proved themselves equal tn their gigantic tasks. Much of what has been found by these boards to be use- full can be employed in peace time. The criticism has been made that we did not start our economic mobiliza,- ton in time, but none of you could have conceived the possibility either of such radical overthrowing of in- ternationa1 laws by Great Britain and her reckless measures against neutrals or such powers of resistance on the part of Germany. As regards the re- building of our mercantile fleet, re- gotiations are proceeding with ship
 owners on the subject. In spite ot the Paris conference, we shall renew economic relations with foreign coun- tries after the war.
