Leaders on Both Sides Agi-
tated but Suppress Hasty
Utterances.
TO DO NOTHING TO
EMBARRASS WILSON
Report Says President Is
Preparing to Address Joint
Session Soon.

washington, Feb. /. - Congress
worked away today in its effort to
clear the congested legislative calendar.
undisturbed by the grave situation
brought about by Germany's declara-
ton of ruthless submarine warfare
There was an air Of restrained excite
mcnt at the capitol. but the leaders on
both sides seemed disposed to wait
calmly for action by President Wilson
and to suppress any hasty utterances
that might embarrass him in the
crisis.
In the house, the only public ref
crence to the situation came from Ma
jority Leader Kitchin, who pleaded for
a reconsecration of patriotism to the
Union.
1T is incumbent in this grave time
upon every American citizen, who
loves his country" he said. "and is
doubly incumbent upon the American
representatives in this house to do
everything that will promote in this
hour national unity, national love, ma
tional fraternity"
Senators Lodge and McCumber, Re-
publicans. delivered prepared speeches
on President Wilson's world peace ad-
dress, prefacing them with words of
caution. Senator Lodge declared that
the German note had hcapcd upon the
president great responsibility and
added NO word shall fall from my
lips which might in any way possible
embarrass him at such a time"
throughout the day there was in
formal discussion in the capitol. but
so far no member has vcntured to in
Ject INTO the situation any resolution
such as stirred the congress during
the armed ship controversy proposing
10 warn Americans off armed mer-
chant vessels Of beligerents.
Reports were current that the prcsi-
dent was preparing to address con-
g'ress in joint session tomorrow or Sat
urday, but no word had been sent to
any of the senate or house leaders
from the White House regarding plans
Tor a joint session, nor had the presi
dent tonight called members of the
foreign relations committee in con-
ference.
Senator Hitchcock acting chairman
OF the committee, said after a brief
call at the White House that the situ
alton was indeed grave. He did not
see the president, but thought a con-
ference might be held after the arrival
or Senator Stone, chairman of the
committee, who is Fastening to Wash
ington from st. Louis.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which Is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The hest thing to use Is just plain
mulsified scocoanut oil, for it Is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful Is all
that is required. IT makes an album
dance of rich, creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and Is
soft, fresh looking. bright. fluffy. wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides. 1t loosens
and takes out. every particle OF dust

Advice Of Men Engaged

Washington, Feb Immediate
measures to safeguard American bust
ness in the economic struggle expected
to. follow the European war were
urged today by the chamber Of COM
nerce Of the United states in the
unanimous adoption OF report from
its foreign relations committee. The
report declared for most favored
nation" clauses in all trade treaties
between the United States and for
cign countries.
This session, said the report, is one
Of the most important that confronts
our growing foreign trade We most
strongly urge that the United States
chamber of commerce by every means
In its power bring before the people of
our country the vital importance to
our commerce of securing in all COM
mercial treaties smade by our govern
mcnt the inclusion Of these clauses.
We strongly deprecate the long con-
tinued failure Of our government while
negotiating commercial treaties to
seek and employ the advice of our
business men engaged in foreign trade.
At no time in our history has this
question been more important than
now, confronted as we are by the diff
ficult and novel problems arising out
of the unprecedented European con-
flict.
Foreign newspapers indicate that the
nations of Europe, divided into two
great warning factions, are all plan
ming to adopt special arrangements to
favor their allies and to restrict their
enemies trade after the war. There
FORE it especially behooves us as
neutral nation most carefully to study
how these many European agreements
will affect our trade.
The committee proposed that the
chamber submit to referendum
whether it should urge the state de-
partment to conclude naturalization
treaties with all the other nations.
The chamber went on record against Il
litcracy test in immigration measures,
indorsing the presidents veto of the
immigration bill

War Summary

Except for a continuation of the
feeling of unrest caused by Ger
manys announcement of a cam
paign Of unrestricted submarine
activity. there is little Of interest
in the war news Of the day. While
Iloyd's reports the sinking of eight
vessels, supposedly by submarines,
it is presumed that they all were
sent to the bottom before the new
submarine orders went into effect.
OF the vessels sunk one was Dutch.
On the fighting fronts there has
been little activity aside from the
operations of small accommodating
parties and artillery duels. Pctro-
grad reports a Russian advance
near Kalnzcm. southwest of Riga
and the rcpulsc of three attacks
by the Austro- Germans against the
Russians east Of Jacobeni, near
the northern Rumanian frontier.
Small actions also have occurred
in the iNarayuvka river region In
Galicia.
In northwest Persia the Turks
are credited with gains over the
Russians by Berlin. Reconnoiter-
ing engagements continue around
kut-el- Amara and n heavy bonn
bardment also is in progress there.

In the Austro- Italian theater the
Austrians are bombarding with
great intensity the region near
Lake Garda. and positions in the
Gorizia zone and on the Carso
plateau.

M%YsTiFYlnG MILLIONS.
Puzzlms at First, but 1t Was Really a
Very Simple Matter.

A number of years ago, when the
names OF subscribers to the then re
Gently issued 3 per cent bonds were be.
ing sent in to Washington, one sub
scription was received from Oregon,
which the authorities supposed to be
signed with al assumed name. Ten
Million. A curt note was sent to the
address given, stating that bonds could
be registered in real names only.
A prompt reply came from Mr.. Mil
: lion, written upon paper bearing the
letterhead of the firm of Million & Mil
lion. He explained that he was born
a Million and was the tenth and young
est child of the family. His father
n mother, being able to agree
upon Christian names that suited the
taste of both, had allowed their chill
dren to be designated by numbers,
which with the passage of time had be-
come their only rightful and legal
His brother, Mr.. Seven, was
his partner in business.
Some of the brothers and sisters, as
they grew up, had modified the too
a~rithmetical simplicity of their names
a little. He himself was commonly
known as TENTS instead of Ten, and his
sisters, the Misses One and Three, had
become, certainly to advantage, Una
and Trio. But the law took no cogniz-
ance of such belatcd improvements.
Ten Million was still his only legal
signature.
The explanation was ample and suf-
ficient, and the bonds for which he
had subscribed were duly registered in
his rightful name. but the government
clerk who recorded the transaction
read his record over several times and
breathed a sigh of relief when he was
quite sure he had it Enthusiastically cor
rect. Because. if Mr.. Ten Million had
been accidentally added up or the bond
for Ten Million mistaken for a bond

the way it lay through the woods. and
we were continually falling over tree

ing ourselves from barhed wire. Not
a sound was to he heard except the
croaking of the frogs.
Suddenly we emerged from the tam

OF the hill and sat down at the foot OF
the ruined tower. The scene that met
our eyes was so solemn, so inspir-
ing, b Il all conversation between us
ceased. At our feet lay Ypres, burn
ing furiously. The great cloud that
hung above it was now glowing as if
some vast lrnace were burning in its
midst, but the cloud itself appeared to
be m%otionless. Now and then great
tongues of flame would leap up from
tue doomed town, but apart from them
the whole impression was one of rest,
immobility. We felt that we were look
ing at a painted scene or watching IA
yast stage where some lurid Mepbis-
tophelean drama was being enacted.
Here and there along the line IA star
shell went up and, bursting. lighted the
landscape with a garish flare. Over

song of a bird, faint and hesitating at
first, but gradually gathering volume,
until the whole air throbbcd with the
melody. 1t was a nightingale singing
in the wood below.
We sat on n on and on. The whole
town was glowing like the mouth OF

FLEETS OF IcE8ERGs.
Sometimes They Go In Clusters and
Again In Long Lines.

Sometimes They Go In Clusters and
Again In Long Lines.
Among the perils and wonders of the
ocean there are few more interesting
things than icebergs, interesting not
only by reason of their gigantic size,
their fantastic shapes, their exceeding
beauty, but also for the manner where
in they array themselves.
1cebergs exhibit a tendency to form
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
both of ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs,
extending for MANY hundreds of miles
cast of Newfoundland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government. Two of these cross each
other, each keeping or its independent
course after the crossing. In several
instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces Of clear water between
them.
Curiously enough. while enormous
fields of ice invade the so called
steamship lanes of the Atlantic at the
opening of spring during certain years,
in other years at that season there is
comparatively little ice to be seen.
The ice comes, of course. from the
edges of the arctic regions, from the
icebound COASTS of Greenland and Lab
rador, where huge bergs, broken from
the front of the glaciers at the point
where they reach the sea, start on their
long journeys toward the south, driven
by the great current that flows from
Bat1in bay into the northern Atlantic
ocean.
