Especial to The Times. J

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-The bill to
restore capital punishment in the
state will not be passed by the leg
islature without fight to at least
give the people of the state the de-
Gliding voice.
Senator Z. Ben Johnson of Spo-
kane, member of the judiciary
committee, intends to see to it
that referendum clause is at
tached.
He made this emphatic today
after Senator Boner, chairman of
the committee, had announced
that no public hearing would be
held.
Personally, l am in favor of
restoring the death penalty in the
discretion of the jury. I am in
favor of the BILL" said Johnson.
But the state has abolished cap
ital punishment. The legislature
has no right to restore it, without
giving the public an opportunity
to express ITSELF"

good Juvenile fiction has not
been widened. There are
comparatively few good, live,
interesting human Juvenile
books, and books for girls
around the ages of 12 and
Is years are impossible.
Teach your girl the value
OF character. Teach her to
observe and mentally criti-
else those about her. To
gaze critically into another's
character will make one look
into ones own character.
Teach your girl values.
Do not let her get only the
idea of superficial values
make her see the value that
lies under the surface.
Give your girl room to
grow. Do not stunt her per-
sonality, but guide her so
that it will develop properly.
Let her know that while q
man may fall in love with a
pretty face and a good figure,
he will not stay in love with
a pretty face. The time has
come when IL takes even more
than a pretty face to attract
q man, and infinitely more
than charm" to hold him.
Husbands nowadays love
their wives because they are
companions, not because
they are dolls or ornaments.
Give your girl an occupa-
ton. Work is the salvation
of many. II q girl is busy,
mischief will find small OPP
portunity to enter into her
life..

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. g.

ents, but themselves born in this
city and therefore potentially
Americans, according to interna-
tional lawyers, were lost in the
torpedoing of the liner Califor-
mia by German submarine.

ODonnell, 9 and 7 years old.

Illus, 13-they were returning to
Scotland to visit their grand
mother. Mrs. O'Donnell and the
two children are missing and be-
lieved lost. but Cornelius was
saved.
Mrs. O'Donnell was born in
Scotland and her husband in Ire

naturalization papers. They had
lived in South Philadelphia for Is
years and all three children were
born there. They were baptized
by Rev. f. X. Curran, rector of
st. Anthony's Catholic church,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb.
0.-After talking Confiden-
TALLY with the best informed
navy and army men In WASH
ington, all of whom refuse to
allow their names to be used
at this time, 1 can state en-
phatically that I'm case there
should be declaration of
war between the United
States and Germany the first
military activities and the
only activities on the part of
this country for weeks and
months will be Of q purely
defensive nature.
There will be no sending of the
navy to European waters nor any
sending of any part of our army
to European soil.
Our activities will be much like
those of Japan, ally of the entente
nations.
Japan has not contributed ships
or men to the operations in the
Mediterranean, the English chan
mel, the North sea or the Irish sea
Japan has busily manufactured
munitions of war for Russia.
Might Recruit Legion.
The United States will be most
useful to the allies by making
munitions and sending these and
other necessaries, including food
to France and England.
This country would, of course
employ its navy in conveying ships
loaded with these supplies, md
in this dangerous work some oil
the ships would sooner or later
run afoul of German submarine
or mine or might even meet a Ger
man raider.
If the country is reused by
some particularly brutal attack
on American shipping and inno-
cent lives are sacrificed, it might
be possible to recruit a foreign
legion such as Canada has raised
and sent, but all this depends
upon future happenings.

love. Mother is very cross
about 1t and threatens to tell
this young man about my
marriage. Do you think he
will give me up? ALICE.
Alt is to be hoped he will.
You are doing wrong to go with
him while You are married to an
other. The respective merit of
the two men, or your reason for
marrying, has nothing to do with
the case. A marriage is binding
on your conduct until IL is dis
solved. Possibly your mother is
not as gentle as she might be, but
she understands the situation and
she is right in her advice to you.
