While the young men OF the world
are offering their lives on battlefields
those of more mature years come
under a great spiritual responsibility.
according to the seers. who declare
that they who fail to sacrifice to the
utmost will suffer all that they hoped
to avoid.
There is a sign that seems to fore
shadow some sort OF a conflict on
American soil and this will be near a

The first month of summer may
arouse strangely sinister impulses di-

A spy close to the government ma

damage, it is prognosticated.
The King of Spain will suffer from
adverse conditions during the sum-

Persons whose birthdate it is may

MEASURE DELAYED
Salisbury Resolution Held Up
Through Slow Printing.

The Salisbury Resolution to con-
tinue the present status between
landlord and tenant in the District
of Columbia suffered two separate
and distinct setbacks yesterday in
Congress.
Representative Fairchild. of New
York, objected to the introduction
of the conference report on the reso-
luton in the House because the re-
port had not. according to the rules
of the House, been printed. The
vocational rehabilitation bill, for
soldiers and sailors in the Senate.
due to the long drawn out controv-
ersy between the Republicans and
Democrats. prevented Senator Sauls-
bury from asking that the Senate
agree to the report of the con-
ferees on his resolution. There is
little likelihood now that the reso-
luton will be considered before the
middle of the coming week in either
branch of Congress.

Dick never had any responsible
