TO MAKE GARDEN PROPERLY
There is Only One Way to Do II Right,
and That Is to Leave Il All
to the Missus.

Gardening, so far as man is con
cerned, is much like hanging pictures
Man can expect neither to hang the
framed portraits of his wife's relatives
nor to locate the nasturtiums, the pop
pies and the candytuft, to he satisfac-
ton. We have tried both and have
failed every time, says the Detroit Free
Press.
II we give Grand Aunt Elizabeth
Ann, as she was when seventeen years
of age, done into crayon from a cab
met photograph and framed in genuine
black walnut, the prominent place over
the mantelpiece, the miSSus decides
that she should have been placed on
the east wall near the window. If we
give her the east wall she must go
over the mantelpiece. 1t makes no
difference what picture gets the spot
on the south wall, some other should
have had II.
And so 1t is with the garden seeds.
After we have carefully agreed on
what to plant the trouble begins. We
proceed to the garden, while she re-
mains in the house to get the children
ready for school. At last, weary and
sore, and feeling that we have invited
return visit from infammatory
rheumatism, We announce that the Job
Is done; the seeds are in.
She comes out to inspect the work.
1t won't do at all. 1t is not what she !
thought we were going to do; 1t is not
what she wanted. We have put the |
nasturtiums where the mignonette /
should have been.
The poppies were to have been near |
the house and they are by the back .
fence. And We have given the zin-
Mas the space she had selected for the
china asters.. Nothing Is right.
She might have known better than
to have trusted us to do the work. 1t
will have to be done all over again.
who has ever tried to gather
up mignOnette seed after 1t is once
planted knows how quickly a man will
ose his temper when that proposition
8 submitted to him. There is only
me way to plant a garden properly
hat Is to let the missus do 1t.

GERMAN SHIP IS SUNK
IN CHARLESTON HARBOR

CHARLESTON. S. c.. February L.
The German freighter Liebenfels of the
Hansa line. tied up since the outbreak
of the war. began slowly to sink this
morning. with Indications. marine men
said, that she had been seuttled. After
gradually going down until the stern
rails were within a few feet of the
water and her bow keel almost visible.
the settling apparently was arrested.
Whether or not she sinks. she has
been SO badly damaged that it would
take some time to make her seaworthy.
When 1t was observed the ship was
sinking Capt. Lockwood of the tug
Cecilia pulled alongside and offered
help. which was declined by an officer
of the Liebenfels. He gave no reason
for refusing assistance. 1t was believed
that Capt. Klattenhofr was not aboard.
The Lascar crew members were sent
to their homes soon after the vessel
tied up here in July, 1914 Only five
or six officers manned the vessel and.
aside from the captain, they remained
aboard when she began to sink today
The Lebenfels, which is of $3.50 tons
gross, is anchored half mile from the
water front in between forty and fifty
feet Of water.

NEW YORK, February AFTER be-
ing sealed all night by a Gordon of de-

the port of New York was today
opened by the customs authorities to
all incoming and outgoing shipping.
The stand taken by the collector of the
port was that ships could sail at their
own risk. They were permitted to
clear as usual
1t was understood that the order
closing the port last night was pri-
marily intended to prevent the possible
departure of any of the elf-interned
German liners without clearance pa
pers. The same course will be pur-
sued every night for the present, it is
expected.

M'CUMbER URGES
END Of SLAUGHTER
Says German Blockade En-
phasizes Need of Aiding
President to Obtain Peace.
WOULD ASSERT RIGHTS

Prefacing a prepared address on world
peace today, Senator McCumber, re-
publican, of North Dakota. referred tc
the German submarine blockade and
declared that while 1t was inopportune
for the Senate to invade the field OF
diplomacy 1t was more than ever de-
sirable for it to aid the President in Sc
curing world peace.
I'VE awakened this morning" said
Senator McCumber. ito meet a situation
so critical as to warrant our laying
aside all ordinary business of legisla-
ton and giving our earnest considera-
ton to the grave and vital matters in
which the nation already is involved
and matters in which our future peace
may be at stake.
Era of Slaughter Foreshadowed.
1.-THE note received last night from
one of the belligerents foreshadows an
era of slaughter and starvation far
beyond anything that the world has
yet witnessed. and brings home to us
with further force the necessity for
the efforts of the President to check
further slaughter and to bring about
peace.
I'VE should leave no word unspoken
and no act undone to impress upon the
battling nations the necessity for end
ing this horrible war and for them to
join with us to bring about lasting
peace"
Senator McCumber declared he IA
vored the idea of world-enforced peace,
but did not believe either the United
States or any other great nation would
favor the conditions proposed by the
President under which this govern
ment would come into league.
Says Rights Must Be Asserted.
He again referred to the German note
after he had read to the Senate an edi-
torial from a New York newspaper
printed several days ago. declaring the
United States no longer enjoys the iso-
lation from world affairs it enjoyed
when Washington pronounced against
entangling alliances.
Were there a doubt in the minds of
the American people or in the minds of
senators in this chamber as to the ef-
feet of the European war upon us"
said Senator McCumber. the note Of
great belligerent power published this
morning has brought homo to us that
we are interested in those affairs and
cannot escape the obligation as Ameri-
can citizens to assert our rights, when
the fact that these rights are threaten
ed Is brought to our very doors"
He then resumed his prepared speech.

SENATORS ASSERT
!. SITUATION IS GRAVE
Disposition Is to Await Word
From President as to
Course to Follow.
TILLMAN is BELLIGERENT

The situation arising from Germany's
announced intention to pursue a ruthless
submarine warfare in the future was re-
garded by senators today as the most
serious which has confronted the United
States since the war in Europe began.
Although some of the senators were will
ing to express their views on the decla-
ration Of Germany. there was general
air Of waiting and expectancy about the
Senate chamber.
What will the President do?" was tho
question on every lip.
The opinion was expressed that he prob
ably would make some announcement to
Congress or to the congressional leaders
before finally acting. 1t was recalled that
President would fully inform Congress or
the leaders before he took any final steps
looking to the breaking off of diplomatic
relations with Germany or any OF the
belligerents.
Senator Lewis Is Hopeful.
Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis. the DEM
ocratic whip of the Senate, expressed
the belief that Germany will not carry
out her threat to the point of pursuing
a course of frightfulness. He thinks
the announcement of the program is
given the utmost possible aspect of
seriousness by the Germans with the
possible expectation that 1t might in
fiuence the allies to further considera-
ton of peace propositions. He said he
found a number of senators who agreed
with him in this opinion.
Beyond saying that he considered the
sftuation very grave, Senator Kern.
democratic leader of the Senate, refused
to be quoted on the German note today.
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
naval affairs committee. said there was
only one thing to do in the circum-
stances.
I'VE should tell the diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of Teutonic governments in
Washington to pack up and go back TO
their fellow barbarians at once. We
should protect the rights of the people
Of the United States on the high seas
with every man. ship and gun in our
navy. The suggestion is intolerable to
