URGE WARNING TO
US. TRAVELLERS
German-American Citizens Ask
They Be Kept off Armed
British Vessels.

Renewed efforts to have Congress
pass resolution warning or prohibit
ing American citizens from travelling
on armed British merchantmen char
acterizes a vigorous propaganda which
has been launched by leading Ger
man-American citizens of Chicago
Members of the Illinois delegation
received today numerous kilograms
from that city, signed by Harry Ru-
bens and other prominent German
sympathizers, urging that such action
be taken, in view OF the persistent
reports that the British admiralty has
ordered all British merchant vessels
to arm fore and-af as q protection
against German submarines.
May oner New Resoiution.
In response to these kilograms 1t is
thought likely that a resolution SINH
lar to that introduced in the House
at the last session by Congressman
"Jeff" McLemore, OF Texas, will be
submitted to the House by. one OF the
Illinois delegation.
At the time that the McLemore
resolution was introduced the subma-
rine controversy between the United
States. and Germany was in its most
acute stage.
Wilson Prevented Passage.
President Wilson. by dint Of strong
pressure on Congress, succeeded in
preventing its passage The resolu-
tion sought to prevent Americans
from travelling on any merchant ves-
sells OF a belligerent power.
To what extent the new propagan-
da may have been inspired by definite
information that Germany Is prepar-'
ing to renew her submarine warfare
with extraordinary vigor is not
known here.

man says something about another

Vice President Marshall is expected
back in Washington the end OF this
week. When he returns. It will be
decided on what day he shall be sworn

Reports that ii has been decided he
will take the oath Saturday, March
5, in view OF the fact the fourth Of
March comes on Sunday were stated
at the Vice Presidents office today
to be incorrect. 1t was stated that
the matter had not been decided and
would not be until his return.
As there are precedents for the
Vice President taking the oath Sat-

be done.

pitfalls and traps set for her. OF
Miss Young it may be said that she

At all times she was forceful and

CHAPTER VIII.

The little room was gaudily decorat-
ed and redolent with the lingering
odors of many dinners. Yet Louise,
who had dined on the preceding eve
ming Mt the Ritz and been bored, whose
taste In food and environment was al
most hypercritical. was perfectly
happy. She found the cuisine and the
Chianti excellent.

she declared; "and I don't even mind
their awful legacy Of tobacco smoke.
Do you see that the waiter has brought
you the bill, Mr.. strangewey? Prepare
for shock. 1t Is fortunate that you
are millionairel"
John laughed as he paid the bill and
ludlcrously overtipped the waiter.
"YOu are so convincing I" Sophy MUIR

ture entertainment is in the hands Of

tastes"

They made their way down two
flights of narrow stairs into the street.
The commissionnaire raised his whis-
tie to his lips, but Louise stopped him.
1--WE will walk" she suggested. 'eThis
way. Mr.. Strangewey!"
They passed down the long, narrow
street, with its dlngy foreign cafes and
shops, scarcely one Of which seemed to
be English. The people who thronged
the pavement were Of a new race to
John. swarthy, little furtive, class
Of foreigner seldom seen except In
alien lands. Men and women in all
stages Of dishabille were leaning out
of the windows or standing on the door
steps. The girls whom they met occa-
sionally--young women of all ages,
walking arm in arm, with shawls on
their heads in place of hats--laughed
openly in Johns face.

Of money and made me take little

more fashionable hotel. He stayed to
lunch with me- and have promised to

The two girls sat up and wiped their
eyes.
"Oh, this Is wonderful adventure
you have embarked upon |" Louise ex-
claimed. "You have come quite In the
right spirit. II Is your first night here,
Mr.. Strangewey, so I warn you that
Sophy is the most irresponsible and
cnpricious of all my friends"
Sophy made grimace.
"Mr Strangewey," she begged ear
nestly, "you won't believe n word she
says, will you? All my life I have
been looking for single and stead
fast attachment. OF course, IL Louise
wants to monopolize you, I shall fall
into the background, as I usually do I;
