SEVEN BILLION WAR
FUND REPORTED OUT

ialize. This will permit the President
to urge immediate passage of legisla-
ton which will permit the semitic
handling of the entire problem.
The administration continue; It's eff
forts today to ullify the general OPP
position in congress to the selective
CONSUMPTION plan by which 1t is ex-
pected to raise real army for action
wherever it may be needed 1t is
realized that this opposition Is grow
ing. One of the chief sources is the
national guard. The matter OF state
pride has been very strong in many
places and officers who have antici-
pated promotion should the new army
be raised under the jurisdiction OF
their States and under the usual APP
portionment plan have brought all of
their influence to bear to have their
senator and representatives oppose
the CONSUMPTION plan which would
give the war department exclusive
control of the naming of officers.
The President believes that 1t will
be possible to get the CONSUMPTION bill
through in the shape which the gen.
eral staff has outlined. He personally
will appeal to Senators and Repre-
sentatives and try to reconcile their
views with the desires of the army.
The question of whether the United
States shall have representation at
/ the big war council which is to be held
in Paris next month will shortly be
/ decided. II is generally expected
that this country will participate and
/ that there will be sent to represent
| the United States representative OF
the President and two army and navy
officers of flag rank. The suggestion
has been made that Col e. M. House
probably will act for the President III
asmuch as he already has made two
trips to Europe to consult government
heads there. Officials are pleas with
/ reports that many of the seized Ger
man and Austrian ships can be made
serviceable within short time. II II
expected that they will be turned ov
err to the shipping board which Will OPP
crate them. In this connection the
cabinet at least has decided to asl
that all future publication OF steam
ship movements. coastwise or trans
ocean, shall stop. Heretofore publ
cation of arrivals has been permitted
but, II has been decided that this, too
has its element of danger

Whom "Old Women Abounaed.

In the eighteenth century women
soon grew old, says an English writer
1t the age Of twenty-Iine Marie An
iuinette, the wife of Louis XVI, grave
ly discussed the question with her
modiste. Rose Berlin. She would soon
be thirty. Her idea was to change her
manner Of dress. which inclined too
much to that Of extreme youth. In
consequence she should wear no more
flowers or feathers. The glorious
Georgiana, the duchess Of Deyonshire,
complained to the French ambassador
that she was already seven and TWEEN
ty years old Consider" said the
glorious one. what an age that is
to which the un2lllant ambassador re-
piled that lin rance at seven and
twenty a woman was considered elder
ly."

Narxoua Children.

In seeking a remedy for nervous and
delicate children very often you will
find that 1t Is sleep and not drugs that
Is needed.
Ina sense sleep Is really more impor
tant than food. The sick often survive
on very little to eat, and the results
from medicine are not always success
FIJI, but sleep is what Is depended upon
20 regain health and strength.
Sleep is the secret Of prolonged youth
There is nothing more beneficial t.
health or that can compare in value t
natural and refreshing sleep.

,SWITZERLAND'S MESSAGE
Republic Says 1t Will Sustain its
Neutrality and Fight Invaders

Geneva. Jan. 2-President Schuit-
hess. of Switzerland, sends the fol-
lowing message for 1917 to tine
American people:
Switzerland, surrounded by four
great nations At war and faithful
to it's secular traditions, in deter
mined to maintain her absolute and
loyal neutrality in this terrible con,
flict. The Swiss people, banded about
their flag, are ready for every sac.
aiice to protect their independence,
the integrity of their territory, their
honor and national dignity.
"They are convinced that all their
ncigh5ors will respect their decision
but whatever happens never will
they allow a foreign army to invade
their soil.
The oldest democracy in the
world sends fratcrnal wishes 70 her
great sister republic, to the Amer
can people and to their illustrous
president. Switzerland hopes to be
able to salute with the United States
the coming of peace in the year
which commences. In the meanwhile
Switzerland finds her moral satisfac-
Ntion in giving hospitality and car
ing for the victims of the war, re.
gardless Of their nationality, and aiso
in foreshadowing q happier future
by showing that people of differen:
languages and races cannot only live
in peace but even form single ma.
ton"
Statements in Paris and Rome
papers that Germany might violats
Swiss territory have caused anxiety
among the Swiss, which President
Schuithess and several state counc;
lors thought it necessary to counte
ract by stating publicly that the!
had no fear that Switzerland woEs
be forced from her neutrality.
Movements of Italian troops nea
the Swiss border have been interpret
ed by the alarmists as proofs tha
Italy feared an attack by way OF tn
republic, but high government off
cials emphatically rediculed such a
assumption.
