The allies have made little progress
against their four-footed enemies, the
rats, on the French front. They seem
TO be quite as numerous as during
the second winter campaign, though
great numbers have been killed.
They multiply faster than the num-
bers of dogs sent to the front to fight
them and are now, it is said, menacing
the army with an epidemic of juan
dice from microbes carried by them.

HAWAIIAN MUSIC
MAKES HIM SORE
GEORGIAN WHO NOW LIVES
WHERE LATEST RAGS COME
FROM DON'T LIKE 'EM.

ATLANTA, March 3.-All this Ha
wiian music you hear in the vaude
vile shows and the glee clubs and
the parlor concerts bears approx
mately the same relation to the real
island music as negro melody by 9
ankee blaceface comedian, who has
never seen negro outside of Boston
bears to the inimitable songs and
soft-stringed instruments of the dark
les of the south.
At least, that's the way it's doped
out by II. f. Hendrick, a former At
lantian. who has spent twenty vearf
and made fortune in the Hawaiian
islands, and who is back here on a
visit.
If there is one thing in the line oi
theatrical entertainment that Mr.
Hen avoids, it's the Hawaiian mu
sic. Not because it makes him il0me
sick for the islands. where he expect.
to spend the balance Of his life. bu
because it makes him sore.

the helpful courteous attention ex-
tended to each patron, whether his ac.

LANSING DENIES
TEUTON CLAIM
AMERICAN DIPLOMACY WORKED
FOR TRADE AND is
NOT SECRET.

Washington, March 3.-The at
tempted justification Of Germany's
plot by Foreign Secretary thinner
man found no sympathy here,
Secretary Lansing sharply denied
that the United States has tried to
array South American countries
against Germany, and pointed to the
record to show that the only alliance
planned between this country and the
republics to the south was for trade
purposes, and was the work of the
Pan-American congress, which was
open to the public.
The secretary further stated it
made no difference whether or not
Zimmerman admitted the plot, the
United States knows it is true.
He also pointed to the patience the
United States has shown in the sub.
marine controversy as proof that this
country does not want war.

Stone Succeeds in Blocking the
Armed Neutrality Bill While
Time Nears End.
EXTRA SESSION is CERTAIN
Republicans Cry to Declare War
on Germany and Call Efforts
to Block Legislation a Ma
tiOnal Disgrace.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Witt
double doors, entrance to the senate
by admission only, and war talk brist
ling in the most memorable debate
ever held on the floor since the civil
war, congress has taken advantage o.
the legal right and set the clock back
hours to keep from coming to a close
1t is almost certain the session will
continue until noon Sunday, and that
an extra session must be called to
attend to many bills squeezed out in
the filibustering and rush of business.
Holding up the senates business
Senator Stone, in a long speech on
the armed neutrality bill, declared he
is opposed to war without further
provocation," and that he would no
vote for war even if President Wilson
requested to do so. The senators
nervous and excited, and the crowd
ed galleries, heard Stone read from
a manuscript for four hours. 1t i.
clear that the opponents of the meas
ure, admittedly less tina ma dozen
are prepared to talk through the en-
tire time of the congress.
Democratic leaders appealed to re
publicans to aid in the passing of the
armed neutrality measure, DECLARING
that failure to do so would be a ma
tional disgrace. Besides the main on
position, which came from Stone, g
democrat, the opponents are a few
progressive republicans, foremost o
whom is La Toilette ~.
Republican senators throughout the
debate breathed war and defiance tc
Germany, demanding aggressive ac
tion and claiming that Germany, by
her defiance of the United States had
already started war. Efforts to reach
an agreement on the bill failed every
time. -.
President wilson has no intention
taking any action that will bring war
unless congress is summoned in ,ex.
ira session. This was communicat.
ed to senate leaders late today. The
president believes that if no extra
ordinary crisis arises, it will not be
necessary to call an extra session be-
fore late in the spring.
An extra session will be called
then only to pass appropriation bills
which may fail at the present ses-
sion. The president is making a CON
tinued effort to persuade the repub-
lican senators to assist in the passage
of needed appropriation bills.

GERMAN PLOT
To Be IGNORED

WHICH MAY DO MORE GOOD
THAN HARM

WASHINGTON, March 5. The
United States will not enter into 8
controversy with Germany on account
of that nations efforts to embroll
Mexico and Japan in an anti American
alliance. Tonight Carranzas govern
ment entered specific denial of an,
part in the plot on its part. The de
NAL is accepted on its face value by
administration officials, who have ex.
pressed the conviction that the Ger.
man plot has proven a failure. The
net result, thus far shown of the Ger
man move, has been to draw Mexico
Japan and the United States closer
together and is expected to prove help
full to clearing up many matters of
dispute between the three nations.
