When your wife and you fall cut,
Don It strut about and shout,
Don It growl at her, or scowl at her, or
hiss her;
You will find it doesn It pay;
Try your luck another way;
Just take her in your arms and gent
ly kiss her.
When your wife and you MUST fight,
Make her think she s in the right;
Don It rush off to your club, where you
will miss her;
Should fight with WHEY start
You will play the big man s part
If you take her in your arms and
gently kiss her.
The kiss Of husband is pledge Of
his love for his wife.
I have advised men to kiss their
wives.
I have not advised wives to kiss
their husbands.
The kiss that a wife gives to her hus
band does not mean as much to the hus-
band as the kiss that husband gives
to his wife,
To husband kiss is only a kiss
Man only wants to be loved; he ism It
particular about being perpetually be-
ing told about it.
To a wife a kiss is more than the
mere meeting Of lips. A woman is mt
content merely with being loved. She
wants to be continually told that she
is being loved. A husband is telling
and retelling his wife Of his love every
time he kisses her. A woman is happy
every time she is given a reaffirmation
of her husband s love with kiss. A
woman who is concious Of her husbands
love will make all necessary sacrifices
for her husband, will bear every trial
willingly, will strive to avoid every
quarrel. A woman is conscious of her
husband g love when her husband kiss
es her frequently.
To many wives a kiss only means
"good-bye'. To others it is only the
equivalent Of Fhello.' But the kisses
that are given when the husband is not
either going or coming mean much more

PRESIDENT MAY CALL CONGRESS TOGETHER BEFORE APRIL l6TH
ASQU|TH DEFENDS
 LORD KITCHENER
 FROM CRITICISM

London, March 20.-An energetic de- fense of the late Lord Kitchener was made in the House of Commons today by Former Premier Asquith, who replied to the criticisms leveled at his government in the recently published report of the Dardanelles commission.
 Lord Kitchener was a masterful man, endowed with formidable personality and disposed by nature to keep his own coun- sel," said MT. Asquith, But it is mis- take to suggest that he lived in isolation and did not consult military opinion as to the conduct of the war. That is un- true, but it is true that during the early months of the war he acted as his own chief of staff.
 When war broke out the general staff was sent to the front. Their places were taken by officers who had been in retire ment. The best and highest at that time was Lord Kitchener himself. Upon no man in history had a heavier burden been cast, and nothing fills me with greater indignation than the attacks made on Lord Kitchener, whose memory is in no danger, and will live.'
 
 petition was primarily a naval one be- cause Lord Kitchener proved to the sat isfaction of the war council that troops, to make it a joint military and naval un- dertalSing were not available. The wal 1 council spent three weeks in examining 1 the country's available resources in nier and in obtaining opinions of experts British and French naval expert opinion favored the enterprise The adverse view of Lord Fisher then first sea lord, was not founded on technical naval objec- tions, but upon his preference for diff ferent objective in a totally different sphere of operations.
 The delay in sending troops, MT. As auith continued was due to the Russian position, which was then bad and pres- sure was brought to bear by both the British and French commanders-in-ch chief |to keep their troops in France
 Mir. Asquith asserted the Dardanelles operations had saved the situation in the Caucasus, prevented for months the de- lection of Bulgaria to the central powers kept 3o00O0 Turks mobilized destroyed some of the finest troops in tn Turkish army, and contributed to the favorable events witnessed in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Persia.
 The suggestion that no good purpose would be served by the Dardanelles com mission in continuing it's leaders was re- ceived by the House with loud cheers. The suggestion was made by Sir Mark Sykes. who vigorously defended the Dar- danelIes opera lions

Up to the present no insurance was granted in ships laden with cargoes listed by the belligerents as con traband, and this has barred almost every American product.

 Both Secretary Daniels and Secretary Baker spent several hours at their of- fees tonight going over department bust- ness.

CABINET WANTS WAR


 CABINET WANTS WAR
 The cabinet members generally are said to have expressed today their willingness to support a programme based on an early call for Congress and formal declaration that a state of war exists be- tween Germany and the United States. Tonight the President went to the thea tre-a thing he frequently does when he has made preliminary decision on grave question and wants distraction in order to look at the problem anew with freshened mind.
 NAVAL CONFERENCES
 After the cabinet meeting Secretary Daniels, saying that no new naval orders had been issued, hurried to the navy de- partment. and went into conference with members of the general board. Informa- ton for the President and tentative plans for further naval activities were discussed.
 The only argument known to nave been advanced in official circles against the early calling of Congress was that the President himself can do almost every thing possible. immediately. But in splte os this argument the preponderance or official opinion seemed to be that con gfess should be summoned just as soon as possible so that the full power or the government would be assembled in Wasn- ington \ further step in the plans to protect
