Why the Baby Cries.

Now We know why the baby cries. For q long time the cause was yelled In sbscurity. It might be an inacces- sible pin. or it might be the helpless discrepancy betwiXt the heavenly king dom and this world, or it might be a plain case of collie, called by what new tangled term you please. It has re malned for an advertising expert to discover that the baby cries in order to advertise. It Is the baby's efectiYe announcement in the imperative mood that he wants to be up and petted or be wants the moon or he wants some thing else, and "he won't be happy till he gets it." There Is no denying that for an infant industry the baby's ad- vertising Is q great success. Nearly every time he gets results, and the most astute and alert professional so- ncitor cannot show higher percent age of success. Philadelphia Ledger.

Hundreds Greet
 The Alameda

Hundreds of people lined the shore last Friday at Knik-Anchor- age .o greet the steamer Alameda, the first ship of thu season to ar rive there, accord to Captain Cling CT os that steamer, which returned southbound last night, says the Ju- neau Empire for last Friday.
 At Seward, westbOund, the peo- pie said that the Alameda would be unable to reach Anchorage on ac- count of the vast amount of drift ice in Cooks Inlet aud the pass enqers on the ship were very dis coulaged at the prospect of having to disembark at SewaGd. The Ala meda encountered 8 snow storm off tEe mouth of Cooks Inlet and was forced to anchor many hours be- hlnd Chugach Island. The Alameda steamed through foe ice for seV- enreen hours, but finally dropped anchor off Anchorage.
 The hundreds of people who lined the bluffs watching for the steamer which was to mark the opening of navigation were rewarded when the lighters gathered around the steam CT and the green vegetables, fruit, and fresh supplies were later brougb' on shore. The Alameda re maiued at Anchorage for 24 hours unloading her freight cargo into the lighters.

HOPES AUSTRIA
MAY ASK PEACE
President Does Not Desire Dec.
Iaration of War Against Aus
tria-SchuyIhiII Case
Is Investigated.
BY United Press. !.

Washington, d. c., Now 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson will not ask for a declara =
ton of war with Austria or Germany's
other allies at the outset of congress-,
it was learned from a reliable source
today
Developments in the sinking Of the
American steamer Schuylkill may
change the outlook, however.
Will Watch and Wait.
"Watchful waiting" on the situation
will be the presidents attitude. despite
the attitude Of some congressional lead
ers that war should be declared imme-
diately. Until an actual clash Of
American and Austrian forces is in
eVitable the administration proposes to
let the diplomatic situation rest as it is.
A deadlock on the Italian plains or de-
cisive defeat OF the Teutons at other
places may cause Austria to seek an
advantageous peace. The United States
has remained at peace with Germany's
most powerful ally with the express
purpose of being able to move for the
allied cause.
The republicans may find it con-
venient to make this an issue to dis
tinguish their war program from the
administrations program without the
chance of being called disloyal.
What Will Wilson Say?
Congress is empowered to declare
war without the presidents consent
One factor that is against an immedi-
ate declaration of war against Austria
is that congress expects to be in session
probably 10 months. Thus if a declara-
ton becomes necessary action could
be taken without delay. Congressional
leaders have no definite program in
mind aside from keeping down eX-
penses to absolute necessity. Their
present plans are to follow the presi-
dents lead.
