, the country. There was no indication,
however, that the president believed
the time for such a step had come.
Official reports of the sinking of the
American schooner Lyman M. Law in
/ the Mediterranean, by an Austrian
submarine, added only slightly to the
tension, for while the act is believed
to have been illegal, no lives were lost
and apparently the vessel was warned.
Preliminary reports are coming to
the government showing the piling up
|of American goods along the Atlantic
seaboard, destined for European ports.
While no evil effects are felt now, one
result of the ruthless submarine cam
paign will be far-reaching disturb
ance of the industrial life of the Unit
ed States.
Preparations for any eventuality are
going on uninterrupted. It was stated
today that it is entirely possible that
no steps will be taken to furnish guns
for American ships unless President
Wilson decides to go to congress.
The question of armament was dis
posed of apparently by the statement
of officials that no guns could be had
by American ship owners unless the
government provided them. The pres
ident expects to go before congress
again before committing the govern
ment to policy of furnishing arms.
London, Feb. 14.-On the occasion of
the withdrawal of Americans from the

northern France, Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of blockade operations, and
who in that capacity has been brought

Associated Press that Herbert C. Hoo

Killed by Poiso,,s

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degenerated, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. If we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or if we
want to increase our chances for long
life, DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for
month. Anuric is many times more potent
than ithia and dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

TO. FORM RED CROSS

Every woman and girl interested
in Red Cross work should be present
at the patriotic meeting in the Com
mercial club rooms next Thursday
night. It is not generally known,
probably, by people who are anxious
take up the nursing course, that in
order to receive a certificate of recog-
milton from the Red Cross associa-
ton, it is necessary to be a member
of the Red Cross chapter. As a pre-
Hminary to taking up any of these
courses a Red Cross chapter would
first have to be formed.

FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL
SEEK FUNDS THIS WEEK
Annual Budget to Be Raised in Same
Manner as Last Year, With Work
Compressed Into Few Days.

Friendship House, the settlement or
Eanization which has been brighten
ing the hearts OF children in the south
east section of the city for years, is
trying to raise it's budget for the cur
rent year this week. Last year
Friendship House made it's first at
tempt to raise the years budget in
one week instead of stretching the
campaign out through the year. and
the result was SO encouraging that
this year the same plan will be car
ried out. So this IS Friendship House
week. and it is believed that the entire
amount needed for current expenses
for the year, amounting to $4,000. will
be raised as a result of the campaign
for funds.
Headquarters have been opened for
the week at Burchelrs store. 1925 F
street northwest, where one of the
women connected with the settlemnt
will be stationd every day to give in
formation regarding the work of the
organization and to receive contribu-
tons. Boxes will be placed in some
of the downtown stores.
A Friendship ribbon will be on sale
at Burchell's. 1t makes an attractive
means of tying up packages to send
abroad to the soldiers OF this coun-
try. The price is a cent a yard.

True Democracy Shown.

The true democracy of Friendship
House is shown in the contributions of
money and service which come from
the people of the immediate neighbor-
hood. many of whom are making real
sacrifices in order to do their part to-
ward the support of the settlement.
For many years Friendship House
occupied rented quarters. but last win
ter the association purchased the house
at 326 Virginia avenue southeast,
which the settlement now occupies.
The price was $4,000. payable on easy
terms. and no one has entered with
more enthusiasm into paying the
monthly notes of $50 each than the
neighbors themselves. They have come
singly and in groups, bringing their
bit. and with each contribution the
love Of the neighborhood for the house
has deepened. So far $500 has been paid
on the purchase price. and it is hoped
a considerable sum may be paid off
this year.

Lives Up to Its Name.

Friendship House truly lives up to its
name and is friend to every one who
needs help. It ministers to all in va
rious ways, through its baby dispensary
and milk station. its day nursery, its
clubs and educational classes for the
older boys and girls and for the
mothers as well. its branch of the pub
lie library. its summer outings, and in
many other ways. The feeling of the
neighborhood toward the settlement is
shown in the way fathers and mothers
come there to talk over their problems
with the headworker. and to ask her
advice in many matters connected with
their children. their school problems.
the question of putting them to work
and many other things
There are no religious barriers to
keep any away. Catholics. Jews or
Protestants are equally welcome. and
they know that whatever emergency
arises, Friendship House may be count
ed on to help in some way to meet that
urgent need. just as an individual may
be called on to prove his friendship for
another in many unexpected ways, SO
the friendship of the settlement knows
no set rules or prescribed limits, but
strives to meet the needs which present
themselves.

SPRING MORNING.
By Ellen Adair.

/ walked afar when morning
broke
Into the morning gray;
The air was keen and cool and
fresh
AS fits new born day.
The stubbled fields are waking
green,
The willows change their hue,
The trees are budding into life,
The sky was deep and blue.
Tne robin red, "Goodmorning,' y
said,
That saucy blackbird see,
Proud of the red upon his wing
And liquid "Okalee. !"
Tinkled the water in the rocks,
1t sang of Heavens love
1t moaned, then laughed and
danced away
O list! that mourning dove!
100000, COO, coo, COO"
It coaxed so softly true
O coy and modest lady dove
Dost hear that call for you?
Afar the low blue mountains lay
So like the morning sky;
One scarcely knows where sky
begins
Or earth tints fade awav.
Those rosy clouds are making
The east horizon line:
Alternate bars of pink and blue
A welcome to the sun.
Now louder rings the birds
sweet song,
That brook is laughing too;
That sun has wakened into life
A million drops of dew.
O balmy glorious morning
When earth is waking up,
1t holds for grateful mortals
Rich health from natures cup.
