Berlin, (wireless to SayviIle), March
I'll following was given out today
by the Overseas News agency, the Of
fetal German news bureau:
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was
asked by a staff member of the Over
seas News agency about the English
report that a German plot had been
revealed to get Mexico to declare war
against the United States and to secure
Japan's aid against the United States.
He answered.:
You understand that it is impos-
slble for me to discuss the facts OF this
revealed plot" just at this moment
and under these circumstances.
Admits Plot by Inference.
Il therefore may be allowed to limit
my answer to what is said in the Eng
hsh reports, which certainly are not in
splred by sympathy with Germany. The
English report expressly states that
Germany expected and wished to re-
man on terms of friendship with the
United States, but that we had pre-
pared measures Of defense in case the
United States declared war against
Germany. I fail to see how such a,
plot" is inspired by unfriendliness on
our part. 1t would mean nothing but
that we would use means universally

Chop dozen oysters or clans, using
some of the liquor in place of the milk

doubt spend more time in the house
than any other member. 1t also falls
to her duty to keep the house in order
and make it a place which will be
sufficiently attractive to hold the fam
lily at home. The preparation Of meals
is the most persistent of duties. The
housewife cannot be expected to sue
ceed in making an ideal home unless
the house is arranged to help her car
ry on her duties in her own way.
Special attention is required in the
living room to enable her to make this
room the center of attraction. The
kitchen and it's connected rooms must
be arranged to eliminate lost motion.
The dining room must be fitted so that
she may make her cut glass and other
dining-room furnishings as attractive
as possible.
AS a rule the "man of the house"
demands little more than a cheerful
and comfortable place where he may
spend his evenings. Most men, espe-
cially those who find pleasure in an
after-dinner cigar, are partial to a
house in which there is a room which
may be fitted up as a den. In this
room there must be comfortable

chair, table and smoking outfit for the
man himself, and such other furniture
as will be required to fit the room for
guests. The walls of this room are
quite often hung with the various
equipment and spoils Of fishing and
hunting trips, and large and diversi-
fed assortment of other trinkets with
which there is associated the memories
of pleasant days. The best rug in the
house has no place in this den; beau
ty must give way to comfort.
The young sons of the house require
the least attention as far as house ar
rangement is concerned. Their inter-
est in life centers in the out-of-doors.
The young daughters must be consid-
cred with little more care. Their
love for home must be cultivated and
made to develop in the most health
full and pleasant surroundings. The
grownup sons and daughters divide
their interest between their own rooms
and the living rooms. For obvious
reasons, the daughters desire special
attention given the living room and its
connecting hooks and cozy corners.
The house shown in the accompany
ing Illustrations contains many fea-
lures which will please all of the
| members of the average family. It's
exterior is distinctive and homelike.
There is a brick porch, and the walls
of the house are finished with shin

The Call of COURAGE.

I think that the American people, as
distinctly at least as any other, will
always demand courage in those who
aspire to instruct and to guide them.

pious in speech, who has not this, who
is timid in his convictions, vague and
hesitant in their expression, unwilling
to take risks on their behalf, who fears
opposition, is fettered before difficulty,
or is daunted in heart by vociferous
resistance-will certainly here have
lost his chance of moral leader
ship. He must be free of the times
before he can mold them. If his spirit
is one that others can master or scare
into silence, he may dismiss the
thought of any high function, as be-
longing to him, when he stands in

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

Every home owner who has an op-
portunity to spend a very considerable
part of his time at home desires in
his house as many features which will
contribute to his comfort as it is pos
sible to include in the design. The
arrangement of the rooms and the
character of the special features will
depend upon the personal taste OF
those who select the design. There
are certain features, however, which
are appreciated by almost anyone who
is interested in homes.
There are features which must be
included for each member. of the fam
lily. Undoubtedly the most importan
member of the family to be considered
is the '1ady of the house." If the av
erage family is considered, she will NJ

are accustomed, are as plain as can
be and nothing Is allowed to divide
the attention, which is cenuered on the
general excellence Of this design.
A fine combination of cloth and fur,
shown at the left, is cut on lines that
are almost straight, with q hint of
defiuition at the waistline. A little
fullness in the body is laid in plaits
that disappear in a piping set in at
the front. Silk cord and pony skin
distinguish this model by way of dec
grafton. The pony skin is trimmed
into points along one edge and forms
a deep border at the bottom of the
coat. The same idea appears in the
collar which is almost covered by the
pony skin, and in cuffs made entirely
of it. Both coats are long and
both leave noting to be desired in the
direction of style or comfort.
Georgette crepe embellished with
velvet and needlework and frightened
with little touch of silver make up
the very pretty afternoon gown which

The latest arrivals in coats have not
departed from the liberal lines of early
models, neither as to length nor width.
They give the same impression of lux
urious warmth and substantial COM
fort. Some Of them achieve original
touches in detail of construction and
trimming and succeed in presenting
something new in a world of varied
coats.
Two examples that can hardly be ex-
celled for beauty and utility are shown.
They proclaim the cleverness of their
designer inasmuch as they follow the
mode, but by original means. At the
right coat, which might be made in
any of the popular cloths, is cut with
the body and sleeves in one. 1t is set
to the figure overe the shoulders by
small tucks at the back which extend
from a square yoke to the top of the
sleeves. Wide cuffs, convertible col
lar, and patch pockets, to which we

and finished with small pendant balls
of silver. The bodice shows a little
chemisette of embroidered net.
A wide fiat girdle is made of satin
yelled with georgette and ornamented
with band of needlework. It extends
below the waistline, wrapping the fig
ure loosely. The sleeves are full from
shoulder to cuff. Here they are
shirred to form the deep narrow cuffs
that are finished at the hand with q
band Of needlework.
The hat of gold lace, which har-
monizes so well with this gown, is
bound at the edge of the brim with
sealskin and trimmed with a small
pompon Of this fur. 1t would be just
as pretty made of silver lace, and the
fur might be moleskin. The choice
will depend upon becomingness to the
| individual.

less there is plenty or head room. The
basement under this house should also
be large enough SO that it can be used
for various purposes. A laundry
should be built and careful attention
to its design with regard to conven-
fences will be time well spent. In some
corner, as far from the heating plant
as possible, a storeroom should be pro-
vided for fruits and vegetables. A
small workshop could also be provided
in some part of the basement that is
not being otherwise used.
The basement is reached by stairs
that open into the back hall on the
first floor. All the rooms on the first
floor, with the exception Of the dining
room, can be reached through this hall
A back hall such as this has marked
effect in preserving the privacy OF
each of the rooms, as it is not neces
sary to go through other rooms tC
reach any one room.
One bedroom is provided on this
| floor and also a bathroom. The der
| or sewing room can also be pressed
| into service as a bedroom if the oc
casion demands. This will hardly bt
necessary, as there are four more bed
rooms on the second floor. Another
bathroom is also located on the SECOND
| floor.
On the opposite side of the hous'
from the bedroom, on the first floor, il

dining room is connected to the living
room by double swinging doors. 1
large convenient buffet is built agafns
one wall of the dining room opposite
the windows. There are three fairl.
wide windows along the wall and ais
a smaller one that opens to the from
porch. There is also another smal
window opposite this.
