MESSAGES to Be Sent Abroad.
UNITED Press Dispatch.l
- Washington, February 21.-It is
reported that President Wilson has
planned to address congress at the
present session and that he had pre-
pared a message that he himself
/, will read to the national solons, ask
ing for full authority to take neces-
sary action at once, in case of need aft
.er congress adpourns, with regard to
the submarine issue. 1t is understood
that exact copies of the presidents
message on this subject will be sent
to the capitals of all the belligerent
countries. No chance will be taken
of any nation misunderstanding the
presidents meaning. President Will
son will tell congress, it is said, that
he contemplates no drastic action
without consulting congress further.
The fact that the Mongolia has
sailed from the port of New York
unarmed; the fact that the st. Lou
Is, one of the finest of the steamers
plying the Atlantic and the informa-
ton that the steamer Debaetti was
sunk with two Americans aboard,
all taken together, are considered as
pointing to fresh troubles between
this country and Germany.

my mother told me that once there
was king who saw peasant work

he earned And the peasant said.
Four carlini a day What do you do
with your carlini? asked the king.
One eat, the second put ut interest.
the third l return, and the fourth
throw away This puzzled the king.
and he asked the peasant what he
meant. And the peasant said:
"'I buy my food with one. feed
my children with the second. and that

feed my old father with the third, and
that is paying back what has been
given me. l give the fourth to my
wife, and giving her money is throw

"'That's good riddle said the
king, and must tell 1t to my friends.
Promise me that you won't tell any
one the answer till you have seen my
face a hundred times SO the peasant
promised, and the king went back to
his palace and asked them the riddle.
Nobody could answer, but one remem-

asked him about it. But the peasant
said: 4 can't tell you. l promised the
king I wouldn't tell the answer till 1

and he took hundred lire out of his
pocket, and every piece Of money had
the kings face stamped on 1t.

the answer to the riddle, and the kings
friend went back to the palace and
said to the king, 4 can guess your rid
