called out this afternoon to free the
depot platform Of the people which al
ways crowd it when a contingent is
leaving. This order has been sent to

CECIL ELUC|DATES HIS
PEACE OFFENSIVE. TALK
Britain VIII Consider Any Offer
:. From q Trustworthy Source,
! He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

BY the A1soc14teo ffooos
LONDON, May 1e.-After a brief
general discussion in the house Of
commons yesterday Lord Robert Cecil.
minister Of blockade, gave an expia-
nation Of his peace offensive" inter-
view, which was given to the press
Friday, May 8, and in which he said
that a peace offensive" would be di-
rected very largely against England,
and that the central powers would put
out offers which they might think
would be attractive to the British.
He said that a peace offensive is an
entirely different thing than peace
effort. A peace offensive would be
designed to help the German armies
In the field. and he believed that one
would be forthcoming when he gave
the interview.
"As to the suggestion that intend
ed to convey the idea that any offer
that Germany might make would
have to be rejected" he said. Il say
there Is not one syllable that | ut
tered which could be construed by
any fair-minded man to mean that.
1 repeat that any offer that is made,
come from what sources it may, pro-
vide 1t has reputable and trust
worthy source. deserves consideration
by the government"
Philip Snowden, 1aborite. made an
attack upon the demands of Italy.
saying that they were selfish and un-
reasonable" Replying, Lord Robert
said that he was forced to repudiate
that sentiment with all the strength
he could muster.
aThe attack Is without foundation
and undeserved," he said. For what
purpose 1t was made, except to assist
the enemy, I cannot understand. We
believe the aims of Italy to be as high
and pure as Of any other belligerent,
and we value her assistance to the
greatest possible degree. We are de-
termined to preserve our allegiance
with her. as we are with all the other
allies"
Referring to Russia. Lord Robert
said:
I've have no quarrel with Russia at
all. On tho contrary. with the Russian
people we have always desired to be
on the closest possible terms of
friendship. We are anxious to do all
we can to support and assist the Rus
sian people to preserve Russia as a
great country, not only now. but in
the period after the war"
Lord Robert denied that Great Brit
ain had any quarrel with the bolshe-
Wiki over their domestic policy, say
ing: THAT is a matter for Russia. and
Russia alone. We have no other desire
than to see Russia great, powerful
and non.German."

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
Signals
ZHUGH GREEN. U. S. N.

Signals are the speech of ship. Signal ha1liards are her vocal cords, 8 flag her tongue. The admirars wrath at his flag heutenant's error may rightly be called her indigestion, hysterical fiag-hoistS her hic-cough- ing.
 Day signals are mostly by flags and shapes At night lights alone are used in ordinary service. The Inter national alphabet is made with 26 flags, burgess, and pcnnants (f1ag is square, burgee has V cut out of edge. and pennant is triangular) represent ing the 26 letters of the alphabet From these letters an immense num- Der of combinations are taken to form: the general signal book, for all common communication at sea: the battle signal book, secret and used only in the fleet; the deck and boat book for drill and routine purposes.
 A man may signal by wig wag or semaphore. Wig-wag is done with one flag. Wave to the right means dot; to the left dash. International Morse telegraph code is followed. Semaphore takes two flags, one in each hand Twenty y-nine different positions are possible. Right hand down at an angle is A; horizontal is B; both out straight R; and so on. This system is very rapid and is used for all unimportant signaling. Both wiS-Wag and Semaphore can be used at night with lighted arms
 Blinker systems are most valuable SearchHghts or heliographs (ecIip- sing sun refectors) are used in day time, and yardarn other lights at night. With Morse code one blink means dot, and two dash. All navies
New Britain herald., 1918-01-22

use b1inkers and wig-wag; and every merchant captain is required to un- derstand international flag signalling
 There are several other kinds of signals not generally needed In fog strokes on the ships bell correspond to bHnkS of a light. A long whistle
 blast is dash a short one dot. Sub
 marine bells are coming into use. particularly by lighthouses. They are sometimes audible six miles
 Colored lanterns strung to the yard arm, called Ardois lights. arc good for night work. Red is dot. white dash. If electric, the lights may be flashed by typewriter keyboard. Very's stars are merely Roman candle bombs shot from a pistol, red and
 green to correspond with red and
 white Ardois. Morse's code is stand ard.
 Guns, rockets, shapes national colors upside down, are distress sig
 nals. Germans have used them to lure nautical Samaritans to their doom.
 Many special signals are in use such as the yellow quarantine flag, the blue pilot flag, government storm si gnals, and the like. Lighthouses usually give a night signal such as four shes-interval-two flashes. Every officer and man in the navy is l taught to signal. Out in a small boat. ashore, or on wreckage, this know | ledge may be imperative. | Navy wives have several codes and 1 systems. Compared to them MT. Morse is back number both in speed and method. A broken match used to mean want a cocktail" 1t doesn't any more.

STRAIGHT U. S.
piofl.

Since some men see politics in everything, even in the administra tons conduct of the war, it may be we'll to recall a bit of common horse sense delivered. on the floor of the na- tionai House of Representatives some time ago. During a long drawn out series of speeches, having to do with Hoover and the. Food Bill, Congress- man John Wesley Langley of Ken lucky, a staunch Republican, had this to say:-
 "Democrat though he is. I would rather have President Wilson tell me when and what to eat than to have the kaiser do it. As between Wilson and Wilhelm I am for Wilson"
 That is the spirit of true Ameri- can, and it applies today as we'll as the day the speech was made. It has to do with the Fuel order as well as any order issued by the Food Admin iStrator Any man who opposes regu~ lations of this Government today lends aid and comfort to the enemy and is, at heart, a traitor. The time has come when every man must be straight American and talk United States

pastorate at this church for the good of the church as the bishop and the presiding elder saw it. And the church has not stood without pastor, for the present pastor was assigned to this charge from the very conference that removed the former pastor.
 The pastor, Rev. Staton, states that the church has not submerged in a mire of financial difficulties, since the rem oval of the former pastor for there is an express joy existing among the parishioners over the financial plans organized by the present pastor and for having cancelled several former debts which had been floating for some time of smaller denominations.
 The appeal that has been made was not for the purpose of raising money for the current expense of the church, for on the arrival of the pastor last June, he made an investigation of the business status of the church, thereby uncovering the secret which caused the long year after year struggle with the heavy burden it has carried for Q or 12 years, which is the S6,000 mort gage indebtedness. The congregation was too small to keep up the interest and current expense both, and, find ing that nOthlnS nau been OOne to re- duce the principal since the congre gation had taken hold of the propety; the pastor decided that it was essen- tial to make a payment on the princi- pal in order to tighten the interest. And it was for this purpose the appeal was made to the public, and not for the current expenses. Being promin- ent both in the New York and New England conferences, for bringing churches out of debts, for this cause he was sent here, and further states that the church is at this time finan- cially stronger than it has ever been since it was organized as the good people of the city heard our appeals and have pledged to date, on the mortgage indebtedness, between $500 and $900.

T0DAY'S TABLOID TALE
By Joe Blast.

With a Manicure on the Side.
 Business had been very slug SlSh in Tisso'S Tonsorial Parlor. One man had come in for a haircut. it's true, but when he took off his hat before the mir TOT and realized with a start that he had forgotten he was absolutely bald, he went right out again.
 So Angelo Comeoffo, head barber, perked up a bit when Sluicewa:y Cornbred walked in and sat down in Comeoffos chair.
 Haircut and shave" he di- rected. Cut from the left to the right and please take hold of my chin instead of my nose to steady yourself"
 Twenty minutes later Sluice- way Cornbred was haircutted and shaved.
 "Skittieberry oil shampoo, sir?" said Comeoffo. "The odor is guaranteed for ten days, sir"
 Sure, slap CT on,' replied Cornbred.
 And Comeoffo slapped 'er on and then said, Boston singe, Or a. goldwater rub ?''
 Both" said Cornbred inn partially. And Comeoffo gave him both with contented smile, for Tissos was run on a percentage basis. And after that he suggested, "EeIs foot tonic prevents the hair from falling either way, sir
 "Yeh? said Sluiceway Corn bred.
 "Yeh," said the barber. Crowd some on," said Corn bred. And Comeoffo crowded some on, and after that he had a peanut butter massage, an asparagus steam, an electric tickle, an onionseed oil nose rub and barley sugar eye brow treatment and the bill, which was $11.47 including the war tax.
 ooh, don't bother about that" said Cornbred, with a yackish smile. I'm MT. lis sos son-in-law and I've got this written order from him entit- ling me to anything in the shop. Goodbye. I'd like to give you a little something for yourself, but I haven't anything less than a dime"
 Angelo Comeoffo put his ton que between his teeth and bit 1t with all his might, and then in rapid succession drank two mugfuls of father, a. quart of bay rum and all that was left of the skittieberry oil shampoo.
