elancing up at him.
ANY one" he said gaily. There
10 one near. isn't there?"
Well 90 on penny bus down to
Chelsea and then get into Battersea
Park" she said.
Together, they boarded the omni.
bus. The sun was shining-the sum-
mer was coming.
ITS a good world" Cecil said.
She was very conscious that Rob-
ert's appearance and presence rather
added to the betterment OF the uni
verse.
Adam. do you know you've been
here with us a month";" she asked.
He wrinkled up his face a little.
"A MONTH" he repeated.
He brought down his clenched hand
on his knee.
I'D give my soul to remember
where was BEFORE" he said: what

hasn't been all my life. am sure Of
that"
A little squad Of Lancers rode by in
the roadway below. their pennons n.y.
Ing, their horses stamping.
A great wave Of blood dyed Roberts
face crimson.
Soldiers" he said in whisper
'soldiers!"
He caught Cecils hand.

quickly. Tell the man to drive back
as quickly rs he can. will your"
Cecil stared at him. Her quick
brain caught the allusion.
ADAM" she said, what on earth
do you mean? No-don't answer-I
understand you were soldier once
IL that it,"
Robert laughed shortly.
Good Hesvens!" he said, 1T is no
good; l can't remember. Somehow
those chaps on their gees reminded
me OF something-I don't know what"
Cecil, glancing at him, saw how wor-
lied he looked. She suddenly tight.
ened her clasp Of his hand.
He looked down at her, smiling.
You are dear little pal" he said
simply.
The words beat into Cecil's mind.
She was his dear little pal" Then
what was he to herr"
Adam" she said in rather a shaky
voice, you're quite a dear!"
Again and again as, together, they
walked in the park. that strange ques.
ton obtruded. Why was she SO anx.
ious that Adam should not be found?
Why had she liked 1t when he called
her his little pail?
Cecil was not interpretive. She did
not know that 1t is very nearly i'm
possible for any girl Of eighteen to be
constantly with q man who Is her
friend--a man whom she has nursed
and attended - without that girl al
most inevitably finding out that she
cares for the man.
Liking never stands still; It either
grows little more or becomes little
less.
Cecil suddenly knew that she would
hate It il Adam were taken away from
her now.
I'm desperately hungry" Robert
said Lets go on Wild bust some
where, old lady" ..'
Cecil's mood swept round to his.
Come on" she said gaily, land
we'll realize the dream Of my life.
Well have tea at the Delaroy"
II was just five o'clock when they
reached the dream with its big
porch and its magnificent braided COM
missionaire.
"You go FIRST" Cecil said. She had
never been In there before.
Robert. with rather puzzled look
walked downstairs.
Cecil delightedly followed him into
the big tea-room. They found little
table to themselves in one corner.

England Will Feel
Pinch in December

The real pinch in England will start
with the beginning of December OF this
year, and will continue until May or
June, 1918, when England will begin
to harvest some of next years crops.
1t will be grave; no one knows how
grave. Members of the English and
French missions here have not con-
cealed the fact that il will be a mat
ter of life and death, unless, of course.
some way shall be discovered mean
while of dealing with the U-boat. Some
way may be found, but, on the other
hand, the destruction wrought by the
submarines may increase. No one
knows just how fast Germany can build
these vessels, nor how rapidly the
number of them in the waters about
England may increase. No one will
know until the full effect OF the cam
paign is felt at the end of this year
and in the beginning Of next year the
real seriousness Of the situation. But
every one admits its possibilities to be
such that Germany's chances Of victory
are greater to-day than at any time
since the Kaiser's armies were swing.
ing toward the gates Of Paris in the
first weeks Of the war.
With every day counting in the race
Of ship construction against ship de-
struction, the Administration has
wasted practically two months in vacil-
lating between wooden ships and steel
ships as the best means Of making up
for the U-boat havoc.
In the beginning the Shipping Board
was committed to wood, not as prefer
able TO steel, but as more quickly avail
able. There we're wooden shipyards in
existence and wooden ships could be
quickly increased in number, while ad-
ditional steel shipbuilding facilities
would take longer to provide. There
was doubtless an intention TO construct
both kinds OF ships, but wooden ships
were the chief reliance for the prompt
meeting Of the emergency. Mr.. Den
man hoped" he says now. but pre-
dictcd, according to general memory.
that in five or six months from the
middle of March this country would
be turning out wooden ships a. . rate
which would soon become 100000 tons

Crow Choicest
idbit To-day on
German Tables
Birds Cost 40 Cents, Says
American Doctor from
Berlin

Germany is eating crow, and instead
of shooting golden phcasants and
woodcock. the sportsmen-all of whom
are above seventy-kill English spar
rows and American woodchucks for
food" said an American doctor yes
terday who for the last eight years
has been a resident of Berlin. He de-
clined TO have his name published, since
his mother still lives in Berlin.
Despite the wonderful German or
ganization and conservation, the Faith
erland is suffering severely from food
shortage" he continued. This short
age is manifested particularly in a
lack of grain and vegetables and staple
necessities. The choice dish on Ger
man table is crow. The birds cost
about 40 cents apiece. Sparrows sell
for about eight cents apiece and are
considered a luxury by the poorer
classes.
1T is almost impossible to obtain
any dairy products. A friend succeed
ed in getting some butter, but was
forced to pay more than 81 a pound
for it at one Of the large hotels. The
German people are permitted to pur-
chase only 80 grammes Of butter a
week, an amount which a husky Amer
lean could consume at one meal. Al
though all sorts of substitutes have
been tried for wheat -four, none has
been found entirely successful, and
the people are anxiously awaiting the
new harvest, IN order that they may
have coarse wheat bread again"
As for revolution in Germany be-
fore the end Of the war. this physician
believed it highly improbable be-
cause there are not sufficient men re-
manning in civilian occupations to con-
duct a successful revolt against a gov
ernment so strongly intrenched; and,
secondly, because it is impossible to
gather enough soldiers to join them, on
account of the stric. discipline and the
thought that they would be overrun by
the Allied forces.

Experts Find Building
Cannot Make Up
for Sinkings
Full Power Given
To Gen. Goethals
Denman Seeks to Re-
gain Authority Sem
ate Took Away
By C.. W. GILBERT

Washington, May 1.-THE German
U.boat may be winning the war to-day.
A good many we'll informed persons
here think it is. Practically everybody
agrees it will win the war unless some
way is bound to defeat it or to negative
its effects.
One Of the accepted ways Of meeting
the submarine has been to try to build
ships as fast as they can be sunk. II
construction could keep pace with de-
struction the Allies could be fed and
supplied with steel and other neces-
sary raw materials.
The Administration adopted this pol
icy about two months ago. Great ex-
pectations were held regarding it. 1t
was to be the country's greatest and
quickest contribution to the Allies, out
side of financial aid. Much optimism
prevails still. A member Of the Cabi-
net assured me cheerfully a few days
ago that we should be able to build
ships faster than the Germans could
sink them. A weekly review which
usually speaks for the Administration
has repeated that assertion on great
many occasions.
This hope is yet unfounded. Ship
building is still the most forward part
of the country's programme. But IL
the Uboats were able to sink a million
tons of shipping a month, and If at
that rate England could last only .
year, then We shaould be unable to save
her, because American ships especially
constructed for the emergency could
not be ready in sufficient numbers or
soon enough

tion in the House. Messrs. Stone, La
Toilette. Gronna, Norris. Kirby and
Vardaman. were of the "wilful men,
group, who talked to death the armed
neutrality bill at the end Of the last
session Of Congress.
Fight on Wording Of Bill
The fight opened on the conference
report principally because Of the sub
stitution in the bill Of the words "thls
emergency" instead of "war." faci-
fist Senators feared this would fasten
the universal military training system
on the country forever. instead OF
merely during the period Of the war.
There were many charges that the con-
ferrees had exceeded their authority,
writing into the bill. at the dictation
Of the War Department, ideas and pur-
poses which neither house OF Congress
had sanctioned. :.
After this and the Roosevelt amend
ment. had been debated all day long
Senator Smith, of Georgia, suggested
that The bill be permitted TO pass ever
in its present form, in order TO save
DELAY. and then an amendment be at'
tached on the war appropriation biiis
providing that the money should Dc
used for the drafted men only during
the period - the war.

this amendment, Senator Knox, Oh

"war" was the difference between

twelve in the United States who does
not know that the present emergency
is the war with Germany" ne de-
manded. He ADDED that the language
could not possibly mean any emer'
oencv which might arise after the
nresent war with any other country.
al would like to suggest to the SEN
otor, said Mr.. Wadsworth, of New
Work. "that the terms of the treaty OF
neace NAV not end the emergency. he
will recall that after the Revolution
il was specified in the treaty OF peace
that certain British troops should re-
main in this country until after certain
other terms of the treaty had beer
complied with. That emergency die
not end until those British troops were
out of this country.
"Under the treaty which ended the
Franco -Prussian War, German troops
were auartered on the French people
until the indemnity had been PAID
That emergency did not end with peace
but with the withdrawal OF those
Prussians."

From Tho Tribune Bureaul

Washington, May 17.-By vote OF
65 to 8 the Senate to-day defeated an
attempt to send the selective draft
army bill back to conference and
passed the measure. All that is now
needed to make the bill law is the
Presidents signature, which can be al
fixed, IL he so desires, tomorrow, as
soon as Speaker Clark and Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall have signed the instru-
ment.
The only element of doubt concerns
the Presidents opposition to the Roose-
welt amendment. Some Of his friends
think he will veto the bill in order to
prevent this exception to the selective
draft principle.
If the President so decides, he will
do il in the face Of solemn warning
issued by Chairman Chamberlain Of
the Military Committee, who told th'
Senators, just before the vote to-day
that il the bill were sent to conference
again it would be at least thirty days
and perhaps ninety, before it could bt
gotten out of conference again.
Would Undergo Long Delay
Obviously, if the bill had to pass the
two houses, subject to all sorts 81
amendments, as it would in t." ccee
of veto, the process would take Sist
that much longer and the conferrees
ould need to adjust whatever new dlf-
ferences might arise. Also, the whole
fight between those advocating the Sc
lective draft and those advocating re-
lance OH the volunteer system alone
would be reopened.
The eight Senators, who, after Mr.
Chamberlain's warning, voted IN favor
of sending the bill back to conference
were: Gore, of oklahoma; Gronna. OF
North Dakota; Hardwich Of Georgia :
Kirby. OF Arkansas; La Toilette. oi

of Missouri. and Trammell, OF Florida

for three regiments of volunteer
cavalry to patrol the Mexican border
was stricken out in conference, was ex-
cused from voting.
All the Senator'S who voted against

man. Mr.. Gore is the original pro-Ger-
man in the Senate. His resolution
