THE FACE.

The face is perhaps our most Nalu-
able organ, or member, and it Is In
almost constant use. With a little
care, such as an occasional washing
and the removal of whiskers or any
other unsightliness that might grow
upon it, the face can be kept neat and
trim and comfort to it's owner AL
most every plane of animal life has a
face of some sort although in some OF
the lower orders, such as soda clerks
and piano movers, the face has very
undeveloped appearance. Fortunately
we live all our lives behind our faces,
where we see little of them, and in
most cases other people who are In
front of our faces have to stand more
than we do. If you could manage to
go down the street tomorrow with a
new face of your own design and one
more likely to please those who see it
go by, it would cause wide interest and
your new face would be photographed
and put in the paper There have been
great many faces since the world
began, all different. but few have been
entirely satisfactory. II YOU don't like
your face as ii is you might make a few
alterations and brighten it UP with
pleasanter looks. You will proba bly,
have the encouragement of your wife
in this undertaking.

And SO | weep and pine,
My love has cost me much because
took her out to dine.
Ny love has cost me much and so

My hope | fear is spent, but Oh.

How could I know, she seemed SO

So spiritual and such,
But heavens. what an appetite,--
My love has cost me much.

FRANCE SALUTED BY U. s. AS
PARTNER IN WARFARE. .

Washington.-In response to Presi-
dent Poincares congratulations upon
the entrance of the United States into
the war, President Wilson sent this
message:
"In this trying hour, when the des-
TIMES of civilized mankind are in the
balance, it has been source of graft
ication and joy to me to receive
your congratulations upon the step
which my country has been con-
strained to take in opposition to the
relentless policy and course Of imper-
ialistic Germany.
ut is very delightful to us that
France, who stood shoulder to shoulder
with us of the Western world in our
struggle for independence, should now
give us such welcome into the lists
OF battle as upholders Of the freedom
and rights Of humanity.
1--WE stand as partners of the noble
democracies whose aims and acts make
for the perpetuation of the rights and
freedm Of man and for the safeguard
ing Of the true principles of human
liberties. In the name Of the American
people, I salute you and your illus
triOus countrymen."

AUSTRIA BREAKS
OFF RELATIONS
Seizure Of Interned Ships In
America Follows.
NEXT MOVE MAY BE WAR
Turks and BuIgars May Follow Lead.
Spain To Take Over Amerl-
can Interests In
Austria.

Washington. - Austria Hungary,
ranging herself unreservedly with
Germany, has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the United States, pre-
cipitating a situation which generally
Is expected here to lead to war.
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Aus
trian charge, asked the State Depart
ment for passports for himself, his
staff and the Austrian consular force
in this country, and simultaneously,
American Minister Stovall reported
from Berne that Austria had an
nounced the break in relations to the
American Embassy in Vienna.
Austrian Ships Seized.
Immediately the Treasury Depart
ment ordered the seizure of all Aus
trian merchant ships in American har-
bors. The Austrian crews were taken
off and sent to immigration stations
and American guards put on board
The measure was explained as purely
one of police caution, but it is realized
that it may be interpreted by Austria
as an act of war. In similar situa-
ton after the break with Germany, no
ships were seized until state of war
actually had been declared.
Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are
preparing to follow suit still is un-
known, but officials generally believe
that sooner or later they will do so.
consuIs Ordered Out.
kilograms prepared week ago in
anticipation of the development have
been sent to American diplomatic and
consular officials abroad instructing
them to wind up their conduct of En-
tente interests in Austria, and of Aus
trian interests in Entente countries.
Spain, will take over American inter-
ests in Austria and Sweden will as
sumo Austrian interests here.
Safe conducts for the former Aus
trian officials on their trip home will
be sought at once from the British and
French Governments.
Vienna Gave Warning.
In a statement reviewing these
negotiations, the State Department re-
vealed that on April 1, before Presi-
dent Wilson went before Congress
to ask for declaration of a state of
war with Germany, Austria served
notice that such a declaration would
mean a break between the Washing
ton and Vienna Governments.
U. S. Not To Force War.
Although war with Austria is
thought now to be a practical GER
tainty. President Wilson is described
as having no intention of forcing it.
He has taken no steps to formally
notify Congress of the break in rela-
tions. The belief is that the Presi-
dent will not ask Congress to declare
a state of war unless some overt act
against the United States is COM
mitted.

DRIVE THROUGH
GERMAN DEFENSES
Sweeping British Success in
Gigantic Struggle
1000 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Furious Snowstorms Fail To Retaro
Tremendous Offensive Movement,
the British Pushing Their
Lines.

London.-In the face of heavy snow
storms and in places strong resistance
by the Germans, the British have push
ed their lines as far as Monchy-Le-
Prex, five miles east of Arras, and
made further important gains on Vimy
Ridge.
The official statement from British
headquarters describing the operations
now in progress on the Arras-Lens line,
reports the capture up to Tuesday even
ing of 1900 prisoners, including 235
officers, more than 100 guns, including
heavy guns up to eight inches, 60
trench mortars and 163 machine guns.
Inferno Is loose on the west front, a
thousand fold more hellish than that
which Dante visualized-yet it is but
the prelude to the twentieth century
battle, the last bloody word in the
world war in which Britons and Teu-
tons are graphing for victory-and
peace.
Upon a 50-mile front-from Lens
down to the gates of st. Quentin
they are locked in the supreme strug-
gle for mastery. AS dusk settled upon
the battlefield the British, after 36
hours of steady smashing ahead, were
still the masters of the initiative, were
still VIGOROUSLY rushing on in cease
less storming waves, ripping wider and
wider gashes into the Teuton wall Of
steel and iron. In the fore are still
the Canadians, heroes of Vimy Ridge,
the capture of which made possible
the "big push" now under way.
Teuton Reserves.
But everywhere the Teuton backbone
is being stiffened by endless columns
of reserves rushed to the endangered
lines "They did not break through" F"
the German War Office announced,
though admitting heavy losses to two
divisions-40,000m men. But Sir Doug
las Haig Is determined to break
through.

TAKE OVER VESSELS
United States Authorities Seize
German Ships.
DEPUTY MARSHALS IN CHARGE
Action Follows Almost Immediately
After Passage by Congress of Res
olution Declaring That
State Of War Exists.

New York, April 6.-Seizure Of Ger
man merchant vessels that took refuge
in Atlantic ports ut the beginning Of
the war began almost Immediately at
ter congress passed the resolution de-
claring q state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The collector of the port at Boston
was the first to act. The federal or
fcials at New London, Conn, Bald-
more, New York and Philadelphia, fol-
lowed quickly. In few hours United
States deputy marshals were in charge
of German vessels at these ports, rang
ing in size from the majestic Water
land of 54,2S2 gross tons. to small SAIL
ing vessels.
The port officers acted on orders is
sued by the secretary OF the treasury.
1t was understood that the move did
not involve coniiScatiOn and that the
vessels are held as measure OF
safety. There was no announcement
as to whether the government should
take over the ships for its use and pay
for them after the war.
German vessels now in American
ports number 81 with gross tonnage
of about 100000.
Since the president delivered his war
message to congress these ships had
been under a heavy guard stationed
by the collector of the port.
Their officers have said that, lying
at their docks since the beginning OF
the war, these vessels have become SO
fouled and their slips so choked with
mud that it would have been virtually
impossible for them to get away unless
they were extricated by dredges.
At various times there had been re-
ports that the machinery and boilers
had been wrecked by their German
crews, but of this there was no official
confirmation.
Chancellor McGOvern, after board
ing the North German Lloyd steamer
Whilehad at New London, said that itc
engines were apparently in good condf
ton.
The ships taken over, ports in which
they were seized, and their tonnage
and value, are as follows:

FIRST NEWS TO
!. COME FROM FLEET
Loan Of $4,000, 100000 to Be
Made to Allies.
LATIN AMERICA LINING UP
Balance OF Issue For Army and Navy
Total OF $4,000, ,ooo, 900 Agreed
Upon BY Leaders OF
CONGRESS.

Washingtor.-Preside Wilson's pol
icy, outlined in his address to Con-
gress, of paying Americas war bill, so
far as possible, while the war is being
waged, leaving a minimum debt to pos
terity, was reflected in virtual decis-
ion by leaders in the House and Senate
to raise so per cent of the first years
expenditures by taxation.
$4,000, 900, 900 To Allies.
Under this program Congress will be
called upon to raise war revenue to the
extent of s1,75O,OOO,OOO through new
and increased measures of taxation dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918.
This is exclusive of the $4,000, 100000
bond issue, authorization for which will
be sought of Congress this week. The
total demand upon the financial re-
sources of the country during the first
year of war, under this program, would
be $6,750, 100000.
Of the $5,0O0,00O,OO0 to be raised by
a bend issue, $3,OOO,OOO,OOO, would be
loaned to the Entente Allies. The en-
tire issue, House and Senate leaders
have agreed, will bear interest at the
rate of 311a per cent. 1t is proposed to
make the loan to the Allies at this
interest rate, which is lower by far
than the rate they have been compelled
to pay on their previous issues.
To Take No Chances.
After the Entente Governments have
been granted the loan, the plan is to
hold the remaining $4,000, 900 of the
00,OO0,O00, to be applied, as neces-
sary, on the cost of the military and
naval establishments and other war ex-
penses of the United States. Indica-
tions are that, with the new war reve-
nue. measures in effect, the full amount,
s2000,OO0,OOO, would not be entirely
exhausted at the end of the first year.
