How pr. Petit Contrived to Gel
 Madgc safely Into the Great Hall

..Iisten to me!'' said pr. Petit, 2 ltrifle sharply.
 f T looked up at him with . little
 feeltng of fright. the first that had come to me since he had sbQuldered his way to my side after Dicky's dis appearance in the mob surrounding Madison Square Garden on the night just before the election, when the president of the United States was scheduled to speak there.
 But something indefinable in his tone warned me that there was real danger near us. had reaNzed, or course. as I was not a fool, that tho pressure of the crowd was every mom9nt becoming greater. and at one or two of the surges had feit that n7v ribs must certainly break with inc treasure against them. But after each surge forward there came Hull and a, slight lessening of the tension. and it was in one of these. that pr. Petit commanded me to,listen to him.
 "What is it?" breathed, and either at my unsteady tone or the fright ened look which must have been in my eyes, he bent his face toward me solicitously.
 "I promise you shall not be harmed if you obey me implicitly" he said. and there was solemnity in his tone that treasured me.
 T will do anything youN tell me- I returned, and at the words light famed in his eyes for an instant, then died so quickly that was net sure I had seen it's birth or death.
 ''We are very near the door now" he said. There are two steps there, nSa m V aA1t fSN your being swept from your feet, tor the strongest crush of all will come there. am going to press backward now with all my strength to give you | tiny space so that you can turn yourself toward me. Then you must put your hands up to my shoulders 50 that when the crush comes at the steps you can clasp my neck tightly and enable me to lift you up them."
 I suppose he must have seen the dismayed look that, flashed into my es es. Of all the ridiculous situations. to be lifted through crowd with my arms clasped around Dr. Petit's neck! was bitterly angry toward Dicky for allowing me to be placed in such . position. And yet tho sense of the very real danger surrounding me made mo realize that must do as the tall young physician had com- manded.
 Look Around You"
 Look around you," he said quickly answering. the look in my eyes. Iou will see that at least one other woman is doing what I have asked you to dosn
 With swift glance around I saw that not one. but three women in the part of the crowd nearest me, had their hands upon the shoulders of their escorts. Then a voice came un- especially to my ears.
 ''It is tho only safe thing to do. madam The broad-shouldered stranger in front of me who had aided me. before Dr. Petit appeared turned his head toward ug aA far as he could without moving hts body. 'I'll brace the crowd In fronto you.

 If you have twenty minutes to spare between activities and will spend i've of 1t slipping cup of tea, five of it bathing your face in hot water, and ten laying flat on your back with your eyes closed, you VIII increase your efficiency either for en- joyment or accomplishment in the next few hours, a hundred percent.
 Learn to take little rests.
 Have a couch handy on which you can fling yourself down if only for five minutes. Relax when you have to wait for anything or anybody in- stead of straining toward the object of your waiting. Don't keep your self screwed up so tight. Give your- self the safety value of more re- laxedness.

REAL DISTRESS IN GERMANY
Time Is Ripe for Revolution in That
Country, Washington Officials
Believe.

Washington, March Thirty thou
sand cases of smallpox rage in Ger
many, and the disease is spreading,
according to the speech of a Socialist
Reichstag member, Hoffman, received
by the State Department today in full.
The speech showed far more dis
tressing situation in Germany than
many reports thus far reaching the de-
partment. 1t strengthened the belief,
caused by recent rumors, that condi-
tons are ripe for a real revolution in
Germany.
Brief portions of the speech were re-
ceiYed by the press in this country re-
Gently. The full text showed that
Hoffman charged that the rich were
getting the fats while the poor had
none; that the government was actual
ly boarding sausages with which the
poor ought to be fed; that smallpox
is spreading rapidly, and that the vac
cination employed against it was
proving futile.

AMERICAN SHOES In MOSCOW
Even With Freight and Import
Charges Added Prices Lower
Than Russian Footwear.

American shoes which were put on
sale in Moscow, late in the autumn,
seem to have made a good impression,
remarks Russia, journal OF Russian
American trade. The Journal OF the
All-Russian Company OF TannerieS
says of them: 'Shoes imported from
America have appeared on the market
in Moscow. Some firms have already
put them on sale, and speak very high
" OF them. The workmanship Of the
shoes seems to first impression 70 be
rough, but the prices Tin spite Of the
fact that the price Of footwear has
risen by % per cent in America), plus
the import duty and cost Of transpOr-
tation, are lower by two or three
rubles a pair Isl to S1-50) than cur
rent Russian prices. One is forced
to believe that the import OF these

although, on the other hand, IL must
be regarded as a handicap that the

ton that a third OF the cost must be
paid in cash at the time the order is

SAYS COUNTRY is HELPLESS
Special Committee of Union League
Club Makes Pessimistic Report
on Present Situation.

New York, March 21-With a warn
ing that the United States is unpre-
pared for war with any first class
power, a committee of the Union
League Club, headed by Robert Bacon,
former ambassador to France, and in
Guiding many men of prominence, pre-
scented at a special meeting tonight a
report calling upon the country to get
ready for action. Charles E. Hughes
presided.
eff we go to war with Germany
said the report, "our only real protec-
ton viii be the ships of the French
and British nayies, and our own navy,
which is undermined.
I'VE have no coast defenses which
could prevent the landing of troops
on our shores. We have no defense
which would prevent the complete
and immediate capture of our coast
cities and ammunition factories in the
coast states of New Jersey and Con-
necticut, as well ss every one of our
navy yards. The facility with which
a hostile power could land troops on
our shores has been repeatedly and
authoritativeIy stated
"Our regular organizations lack
many things which are vitality essen
tial in modern war We lack machine
guns of all types. We lack grenades
and bombs. We are without trench
mortars Of the type in use in Europe
We are short of modern field wire
less. We are without any of the mod
ern types Of heavy mobile artillery,
such as is in general use in Europe.
1--WE are short OF reserve rifles and
all field artillery. We have not a field
gun for volunteers. Our supplies Of
reserve ammunition are ridiculously
small"
In opening the meeting and outlin-
ing its objects, Mr.. Hughes said:
There is a principle involved in
the attacks that have been made and
the success of that principle, do not
think it is too much to say, threatens
the integrity Of our country If that
principle is successfully maintained,
the question is not simply Of CONNER
cial rights. 1 regard these attacks,
the method Of their conduct, as an
onslaught on liberty and on civiliza-
ton itself. It is time that the Amer
lean people understood it. All organi-
cations exercising public influence
should record their convictions

as Well as Army and Navy
Will be Used.
NO HALF-HEARTED MEASURES
All Branches Ready for Mobilization
When Congress Gives the Word
May Finance Allies.

Washington, March 24.-The Amer
lean government has decided upon
sweeping measures to be put into eff
feet following the expected declara-
ton by Congress, soon after it meets
April 2, that a state of war exists be-
tween the United States and Germany
Fully approaching Germany's pol
icy of acting in war first and talking
afterwards, the government has deter
mined to provide against every pos
sible emergency.
If anything is ahead to prevent this
it is not now foreseen. Once state
of war is declared 20 exist, aggressive
measures are expected to be taken:
As outlined after today's Cabinet
meeting, the preparations of the gov
eminent are not to be for a short
war, or a war marked by halfway
measures. Nothing IS to be taken for
granted.
A complete program has been pre-
pared, so that everything done will be
carried out in a systematic and order
ly manner.
The President Directing Steps.
cussed today at a long Cabinet meet
ing, to which heads of departments
carried reports on preparations al
ready made and others contemplated.
Details are being taken up between
President Wilson and the individual
Cabinet members.
Regretfully the government appar-
emily has decided that since Germany
is making war upon The United States
through ruthless killing of Americans
and destruction of their ships, the is
sue must be met with steps much
more far-reaching than mere attempts
to protect individual merchant craft.
To Lend Every Aic to Allies.
The exact measure of American par
ticipation in the war is not expected
to be revealed until after the Presi-
dent addresses Congress and until
public sentiment crystallizes. So far
as is known, no political alliance with
the Entente Allies is contemplated, al
though military as well as naval CO.
operation is possible, and the govern
ment will be unsparing in both money
and supplies for the Allies.
The President has not yet written
his address to Congress, although he
has given it preliminary consideration
and has a general idea of what he
will propose. He is expected to be
specific and to make clear that the
American government and people
have no quarrel with the German peo-
pie, but cannot tolerate the acts of the
German government
