FACTORS Wn1cn nave Deen OF real
value in making these calculations
have been the observed proportion Of
dead to wounded (Which may be given
the fact that in an ordinary tranquil
month Of trench warfare the enemy
loses on an average between 10000
and so 600 men, as also the ratio based
on experience that, on an average, Il
there are 100 men out Of action, 20
percent may be regarded as perma-
nently lost for the army, while the
remaining co percent are wounded,
who, after a period in hospital, viii

calculations result in the conclusion
that the real figure of permanent
losses for the German army up 10 the

WHEN MOTHER GOT ACTIVE
One Guess as to What Happened to
Phoebe After Her Extremely
Personal Question.

Phoebe was bored. In all the six
long years of her life she had never
spent such a miserable day. Circum-
stances at last grew too strong for
her, and she cried. She was one OF
those who do not often cry, but who,
when they do, make no secret of it. In
short, Phoebe nearly lifted the nur-
sery ceiling off.
Upstairs came Phoebe's mother, al
ready dressed in her smartest clothes
ready to have tea with friend.
"Why, what's the matter, Phoebe?"
she asked.
Phoebe, standing hopelessly in the
middle of the nursery, only howled
the louder, and refused to see any
thing cheerful about life.
Lifting the unhappy child up In her
arms and cuddling the tear-stained lit
tie face against her own, the mother
walked over to the looking-glas

tie face in the looking-glass !"

ested mad stopped crying.

Bryan Appeals For
Another Attempt to
Secure Suspension Of
Submarine Campaign
tRx Associated Press,

Miami, Fla, March 29.--WiIliam j..
Bryan today addressed an appeal to
the senate and house of representa-
tives urging that an attempt be made
to secure the suspension Of Germany's
ruthless submarine campaign through
the application of the socalled Bryan
peace plan which provides for an in
vestigation of all disputes by an in
ternational tribunal before resort to
war.
Mr.. Bryan asks that congress also
consult the wishes of the people
through a referendum IL 1t concludes
that nothing but war will satisfy the
nations honor. MIR. Bryan's appeal to
congress follows:
Exercising the citizens right of
petition, / will appeal to you. The
dispute with Germany has passed
beyond the domain of diplomacy and

ITO you, and to you only, is given

PROMPT
ACTION
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, March 29.-President
Wilson was said today to be hopeful
that the house Of representatives will
rush its organization plan so that
there will be no DELAY in affording him
opportunity to make his address on
the war situation, to a joint session
with the senate. No matter how the
final organization is perfected,
administration leaders are anxious
that If a prolonged fight is.in prospect
some sort Of an agreement be made
for temporary organization to permit
or Wednesday. These officials feel
that public opinion will not support
long struggle over organization and
COMMITTEES patronage at such critical
time.
The resolution for congressional
action to comply with the presidents s
recommendations probably will be
considered first in the house leaving
the senate to take it up later. The
house foreign affairs committee now is
drafting various sorts OF resolutions
to meet the executives recommends
tions.
Another reason for original house
action Is the probability that the
resolution will carry an emergency
kAppIOpAldIAOh AlCA6-
ures must originate there.
The peculiar situation in the senate
foreign relations committee with
Chairman Stone opposed to action
which would lead to war and the OPP
position of Senator Hitchcock, the
next ranking Democratic member: to
steps further than an armed neutrali-
ty manifesto. was another factor in
the tentative plan to have the resolu-
fi0n 0riCinat0 in the house.
The president has received recon-
mendations from several cabinet mem
bers on points to be included in his
address and is now preparing it in a
preliminary way.
The flnal cabinet meeting before the
assembling of congress will be held
tomorrow and members will be ready
to report fully on preliminary pre-
paredness measures.
