A sudden sense OF indignation
against Robert swept over me.
What right had he. just because he
was my husband. TO forbid me do

much for granted his own right %

EASTER VACATION
 ADVANCE; CASES OF
 MEASLES, CAUSE

On account of several children showing symptoms of measles, Dr.. 8aughman, acting health officer, ad- vised that the schools be closed to- day. The school board accepted the suggestion and it is probable that there will be ten day vacation at this time instead of at Easter.
 In discussing the matter Dr. Baugh- man said that the few cases of measles which have developed have been light. Those who desire to pro- tect their children should keep them from playing with others. More children have been exposed than those not, so it will work less hardship for those not having been exposed to keep away from the others than to quarantine all exposed children.

MEDIATION RUMOR
 CONSIDERED PLAN ID
 EMBARRASS WILSON
,By United States Cable,

WASHINGTON, Thursday, March 22 2-D Dispatches from abroad declaring that the German government eX- pected state of war with the United States within the next twenty-four hours received here today place an omnous aspect on the situation Those high in authority state that this may mean Germany will declare war on the United States.
 President Wilson does not favor an actual decara- ton of war with Germany but merely that state ot war exists
 Plans are being considered today with view ot open ng the ports of the United States to the naveS or the entente allies thus providing them with better tacteS for continuous operation the steamer lanes ot the At antic and removing the necessity of allied war craft re- turning to Europe for repairs.
 Secretary Daniels has issued request to the news papers of the country to encourage enismentS the navy.
 Offers of mediation to prevent actual war between the United States and Germany are expected The ad- minstration heard today from reliable source that Furopean neutral power was contemplating such plan and frankly stated after reasoning over it for time that H was only another effort backed by Germany to divide sentiment in congress and embarrass the president

COPPER FOR ARMY AND NAVY
 AT HALF PRICE
Producers Agree to Aid Government; First
 Saving $6,OOO,OOO
(By United States Cable)

WASHINGTON, Thursday, March 22.-After a conference between. the principal copper producers of the United States, yesterday, it was formally agreed by them to supply the army and navy copper for war use at 16 and fraction cents per pound about half of the present mar ket price.
 Forty-five million pounds will be supplied at once and the saving to the government by this patriotic ac- tion will amount to over $6,OOO,OOO on the first delivery.
 One of the pricinap factors, it is be- lieved, which moved the copper mag mates to action was to prove the fallacy of the contention by many that the munition workers are driving the country to war.
