BE INDEPENDENT.-What is a
kiss without a miss? Some people
give kisses freely, but do not receive
any in return, was the suggestion Of
a youth sitting in the street car. Why
not make the girl work for kisses?
Is she not able? Does her beauty re-
strain her from it? Why is man so
generous in this instance? He never
receives anything free. Let US re-
frain from this action and by so
doing all men will be more independ-
ent than the girl walking down State
street in her skirt that reaches her
knees, powder pUffs, dOlled up from
top to bottom, high shoes, around
corners at the rate Of 60 per, and all
your pleasure is in a kiss.
The girl is delighted when she is
taken out for the evening-nO cost
whatever is free. She does not
take it to heart if she goes out to-
night with John, tomorrow with Bill,
and so on. But where does the kiss
come in? Does she always let the
young gentleman do as he pleases?
No, this is@wrong, indeed. She in this
case turns her face or hides herself
in her hands and avoids this action.
She is right, but the boy in every
case is much stronger in nature and
usually gets what he intends to. This
force is not a kiss. And, above all,
young men, why not make them
work for it, just as we do when we
join the U. S. A.?-Jim SiIVers.

Zeal of u. S. Sailors
Stirs British Navy
By ARTHUR s. DRAPER

London, May 25.-The work OF the
American destroyers has already
awakened the admiration Of the Brit
ish navy. In connection with the op'
timistic statement of the U-boat situa-
tion by Premier Lloyd George in the
Commons to-day. a high British nava.
officer told me that the keenness, en-
thusiasm and eagerness for worX
among both officers and men of the
American fotilla was becoming one OF
the chief topics of talk among British
sailors. He added that ne believes
the American efforts were likely to be
rewarded at any moment.
It is practically certain that the
German output does not exceed three
submarines a week. il it always reaches
that number, while it is commonly ac-
cented that a submarine spends three
weeks at the dock for every week at
sea.
The heavy casualties of April prob,
ablv arose frou record number OF
U-boats operating simultaneously
Possibly June will see recrudescence
Of this drive, but by then the new
British offensive measures should be
operating TO their fullest extent.

Paris. May 2o.-An American mill
tary unit is now at the front, facing the
Germans on the battlefield OF the Alsne.
News was flashed here to-day that
combatant corps under Captain L. l.
Tinkham, who won the War Cross at
verdun, and Lieutenant Scully had
pitched camp and unfurled the stars
and Stripes just back OF the French
guns preparatory to taking up their
work OF keeping the munition supply
moving.
Captain Tinkham is a resident OF
Montclair, y. j.. and is Cornell man
who is serving his second term OF war
service.
That the American Field Service IN
tends to throw ell its men toward the
front at the earliest possible moment
is indicated by the departure yesterday
of the third military transport section
for the training camp behind the fight
ing lines. 1t was under the command
of Horton Kennedy, of Hanover, Mass,
last years manager of the Dartmouth
football team, and F. j. Dussosoit, cap
tain of the same team.
The Associated Press correspondent
at the grand headquarters OF the
French army describes the departure
of the first detachment, consisting
mostly of Cornell undergraduate, for
the lines along the Aisne.

II was a proud moment, he says, and
continues:

Drastic Bill
Forbids Trade
With Enemy
Congress Asked to Follow
British Course Regarding
War Commerce
Alien Patents
To Be Utilized
Prompt Passage of Measure
Drafted by Cabinet Is
Predicted

Washington, May 25.-Thc admins
tration's trading with the enemy bill
was introduced in the House to-day b.
Representative Adamson. chairman Of
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee. II is modelled somewhat
after the British act. and would forbid
and penalize trading by Americans with
enemies, directly or indirectly.
The measure also would authorize
utilization of patents held By alien
enemies, and provide for the care and
disposition Of enemy property until the
war is over.
Early Passage Urged
Members Of the Cabinet and other
officials participated in conferences
which preceded the drafting of the bill,
which is to be pressed for passage as
soon as other war measures are out OF
the way
Violation of the trading with the
enemy section would be punishable by a
fine of not more than $4,000. or i'm
prisonment of not more than ten years,
or both. The section would make it un-
lawful for any person in the United
States, except under license from the
Secretary of Commerce, to trade or at
tempt TO trade, or to have any business
or commercial intercourse whatever, di-
rectly or indirectly. with citizen or
any enemy country or the ally Of an
enemy.
Furthermore, il would forbid the
transportation or attempt to transport
out of or into the United States Of an
enemy or an ally to an enemy, or the
transmission or attempt TO transmit
out of the country Of any document in
tended for an enemy or ally OF an
enemy.
Enemies or their allies. and partner
ships of which they are members or
were members at the beginning OF the
war, would be forbidden to change
their names except under license from
the Secretary of Commerce.
To Guard Aliens Property
The bill proposes the appointment OF
an alien property custodian. whose duty
il would be to take over and administer
the property Of aliens. prevented from
handling their own affairs by war con-
Gitions.
The section relating to patents would
authorize the Federal Trade Commits
sion to grant American citizens or cor
porations license TO use patents held
by an enemy, the licensee to pay over
to the alien property custodian at
stated times per cent Of the value OF
such use. This section is designed
TO make available to manufacturers
many important German inventions
and discoveries, including some inval-
liable medicinal preparations that are
not available at any price now.
An enemy or ally of an enemy would
be permitted 10 file applications for
patents or trade mark registrations as
usual, and those unable to file such
applications during the war or within
six months thereafter would be granted
an extension of nine months, provided
the country of which they are citizens
accords substantially the same treat
ment TO Americans.
