tie German woman, claiming 70
years Of English naturalization;
Pennicuik, young English soldier,
and Fritz, a servant in the house,
are the entire occupants Of the
hotel. Christopher Brent - looked
upon by all the other hotel occu-
pants, excepting Molly and Mrs.

to acts and conversation he affects.
especially when war talk. which -
uppsrmost in all conversations, -
conducted in his presence. a
young English girl, an historical
enthusiast, breaks in on the hotel
party one morning carrying bas-
ket Of white feathers, one Of which
she 10 going to present to every
man she meets who has not en-.
listed. In the presence Of almost
the entire hotel patronage, she asks
Brent II he 10 going to enlist. and
why not. He says he 10 not, but his
reasons are evasive. Molly cringes
under the disfavor Brent thus
brings down upon himself by what
her father calls cowardice. Brent
tries to gain Molly's absolute faith
in him without disclosing the ma
ture Of his real business. Molly
cringes under the disfavor Brent
thus brings down upon himself by

lutte faith in him without descaos-
ina the nature Of his real business.

Charles, reveal themselves as be-
ing connected with the German spy

: to make the boarders think him

CHINA BREAKS WITH KAISER
MERCHANT VESSELS ARE SEIZED
BY OFFICIALS.
Shanghai and Places Them and
Crews Under Guard.

Washington, March 14.-China has
severed diplomatic relations with Ger,
many taken possession OF all German
merchant vessels in Shanghai, about
six in number, placed their crews on
shore under guard and placed armed
guards on vessels.
AdVices to the navy department
from the senior officer in Chinese wa
tiers gave no further details.
American Minister Reinsch, at Pc
kin, also reported to the state depart
ment that China had severed diplo-
matte relations with Germany and
that the German minister had been
handed his passports.
The severance of relations has been
expected here for weeks. The action
of the United States in breaking rela-
tions was received with reclamation
ing against Germany has run high,
not only because scores Of Chinese
on the way to Europe have lots their
lives through German submarine op-
erations, but also from memory OF the
kaiser's orders to his Boxer punitive
force to make the word German"
dreaded in China for a century, and
the seizure by Germany Of the whole
province of Shantung for the murder
of two missionaries.
Seizure of the German ships may
be taken by Germany as an act OF
war, as in the case of Portugal.
China's action may be followed by
seizure of German property, which is
extensive In China In addition to all
the concessions held by Germany IN
the cities, which it is presumed will
be seized as quasi public property,
there are extensive private German
holdings. Latest figures show that
there are about 5000 German civil
ians scattered throughout the re-
public.

MESSAGE To Be MILITANT.
WILSON'S ADDRESS TO CON
GRESS WILL BE SHARP.
Universal Training Promises to Be
the Greatest Issue Before spe-
eial Session in April.

Washington, March 14-President
Wilson's message to the Sixty-fifth
congress, called in extraordinary ses.
sion April 16, will be sharply militant
Defense measures such as the coun-
try has not been called upon to fur
nish since the Spanish-American war
will be- urged by the president for
prompt action.
These are expected to include:
Legislation covering all matters col
lateral with the defense of the Ameri.
can merchant marine.
Suggestion for action on some form
Of universal service or training to pre-
pare the American youth for service
on land and sea if called upon.
Appropriations for the army and
conservation measures, which will re-
lease for immediate use the mineral
and oil resources now locked up in
public lands.
Universal training promises to be
the biggest question facing congress.
President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker have sent out an appeal
for thoughtful public opinion upon
the nesds and wishes Of the country"
on this radical departure from the
military traditions of the country"
In answer to the plea newspapers
are found thus far to favor-about 5
to 1.-The adoption of some universal
training plan.
But, according to the military au-
thorities here, the newspapers are
'far ahead of the people" on the ques-
ton. kilograms and letters from the
folk back home" show strong aver
sion to any compulsory universal
service or training.
This registration, OF public opinion
is being carefully compiled and will
be consulted by the president before
he addresses congress next month. It
is probable he will not recommend the
adoption of any specific plan, but will
strongly, urge some training meas
ure."
Senator Chamberlain says he plans
to reintroduce his own universal serv-
ice bill and try to get it through In
some FORM"
