groping in the dark, and no oppor- tunity for diplomatic sparring.
 Since Secretary Hughes expressed the conclusions of the American del- egation last Saturday nothing save the American programme has oecu- pied the best thought of the visitors
 Americana Work Done.
 Secretary Hughes swept the con- ference off it's feet. No one had been able to reach a conclusion as to the agreement of the American delega- tion. It was known that the dele gation had reached an unanimous agreement. It was known that the agreement reached would call for re- duction of armament. and that it would be so appreciable that the American people would be pleased A member of the delegation stated as much in advance to this correspond ent.
 But no one guessed that the agree- ment of the Americans would be so definite, or that 1t would provide for the scrapping of vessels already con structed; and 1t was not known that the suggested naval holiday" would be as extensive as 10 years. The American delegation has com pleted It's work. From this date to the end of the conference, the next move" will be the function of the visitors.
 Strategy Apparent. It is now apparent why President Harding and. the members of the American delegation were confident that good results would obtain. There is no question but that England and Japan will be forced by the opinion of the world to accept some proposi- tion approximating the suggestion of the Americans; for, it is the judg- ment of Washington, that unless such acceptance quickly follows. and some tangible, beneficent results obtain. previously expressed desire to disarm will be stamped by hypocrisy. It is the diplomatic argument that no nation can afford to smash the dream of naval dismantlement when its iconoclastic blows must be .deliv- cred in public. The excellence of the American strategy in submitting its proposition when representatives of 10o, 100000 Americans were in the galleries. and newspaper correspond ents in every niche and corner of the auditorium, Is apparent.
 Absolute Harmony
 There is interesting debate in Washington as to the identity of the author of the American plan. It is contended that President Harding is responsible. There is no need for de- bate. It is learned definitely and be- yond all question of doubt that the plan was thought out and determined upon by all the members of the Amer ican delegation. who had the advice and finally the approval of the President.
 One of the features of the Amer icans conduct which has attracted IL. -A-rr t.. fz sincerity, its absolute freedom from political significance, and its unan- unity. Harmony Is not disturbed by the effort of any member to create the impression that his brain pre- dominates.

"It's just as cold as 1t can be Go build the furnace fire" And so we do as we are told Forthwith and on the spotb And after that 1t isn't cold It's hot. The minute that we start to poke The coal consuming maw, And get our eyes filled up with

 And nose and thorax raw, The zephyrs from the south subdue The chilling northern breeze. And out of doors it's seventy-two Degrees. But if we let the furnace die, And take our way to town, At once the snow begins to fly And polar winds sweep down. And then, in accents of distress. Our wife says, Goodness knows This house Is only fit for Es- Ouimos. Twas ever thus. since we were wed, The day that furnace starts, The gale that through the village spread
 It's wheeling breath, departs. But If we spare the hard bought coal More chilly grows the air Than the exterior of a Pol

 "So when she showed him this sample of her new dress, he slipped it in his pocket and told her he wanted 1t to match with flowers
 The next day he went to one of the exclusive @women's shops and matched the sample in q pair of long , gloves to wear with 1t and ordered them to send them up to her house. He sat down at the store and wrote her a nice little note to go with them.
 He went to his office and in about two hours a messenger boy came In and handed him a little package and when he opened 1t 1t was the engagement ring he had given her
 He called her up on the phone at once and she hung up as soon as she recognised his voice.
 He then called her sister and , tried to find out what was the mat ter with Mabel. Her sister said 1t was the package he had sent to the house that morning and Billy said he had no Idea she would get mad because he had sent her gloves.
 Then the sister snapped back at him something he did not understand and hung up on him.
 Then Billy went to the store. Ii seems they had made mistake and sent the wrong package to Mabels house and the manager of the store called on her on the phone and tried 1; to explain. Mabel asked him If Mir {, Price had been there and he said he had and then Mabel refused to talk | to him either"

 Put little active joy into your life. If you get up with a grouch throw 1t on the floor and jump on 1t if necessary. If 1t shows some signs of life after you have had your bath, come back and jump on 1t again the harder you jump the better you'll feel and the grouch? Oh, well, itll just curl up and die! That Kind of exercise is bad for grouches.

AWMAKERS MAY
 WORK AT NIGHT
Early Morning Labor Also If Jam is AvOided-Fifteen of Regular Supply BillssRemain to Be Disposed of.

Washington, Feb. G. Congress will start another busy week tomor- row by completing adoption over the presidents veto of the joint resolu- tion directing the cessation of enlist ments until the army is reduced to '175,000 men, according to all indica- tions tonight.
 The resolution which was readopted by the House yesterday, 271 to 16, within six hours after the presidents veto had been announced, will come up tomorrow in the Senate. There ap- peared little doubt tonight but that the Senate would duplicate the action of the House.
 Only 21 working days remain for this session of Congress, and both the Senate and House are expected this week to begin early morning and night sessions. The Fordney emerg- ency tariff bill, now before the Sen ate, is the key log of the congress sional jam which threatens extinc- tion, not only of much important leg islation, but of several regular ap- propriation bills. Passage of the tariff bill this week was the aim of Republican Senate leaders, who then plan to put their shoulders behind cleanup programme of appropriation measures.
 Among important legislation caught in the jam with predictions of ex- tinction are the packer regulation bill, the soldiers bonus measure, the Calder coal regulation bill, the meas ure for reapportionment of the House and proposals for disarmament agree ments.
 Only one of the 16 regular supply bills have passed the Senate, six are waiting consideration and othehrs are in Senate committees or awaiting ac- tion by the House. The latter ex- poets this week to pass the last four appropriation measures, the huge army and navy budgets, the fortifi- cations measure and the deficiency bill.

 aThe transportation act approved l Feb. 28, 1920, to greater extent than i any previous legislation, places all |ouestions dealing with finances and railroad management and necessary rates under the jurisdiction of the In- |terstate Commerce Commission; hence l all questions involving the expense of operation. the necessities of the rail |roads and the amount of money ne |cessary to secure the successful oper- l |aton thereof, are now under the jur- |isdction of the commission.

GERMAN STATES
 APPROVE DEFI
Various Premiers Back Sim onds Against Indemnity Warned Against Expecting Too Much of Harding.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-The premiers of the several federated states of the German nation were in session with the Berlin cabinet until late this evening over the separations question. the meeting being followed with the announcement that complete unani- mity prevailed among all the partici- pants in the conference. The speech of Foreign Minister Simons in the Reichstag had been given unqualified endorsement by the representatives of Bavaria, Baden, Wuerttemburg, Saxony and the other states, it was stated.
 The conference was presided over by Chancellor Fehrenbach. Dr. Sim ons spoke at length and was followed by other members of the cabinet, af- ter which the visiting premiers were heard, the debate continuing until ' o'clock.
 The invitation extended by the en- tente for Germany to send represen- tatlves on March 1 to the London conference on reparations is con- strued here as indicating that the allies expect Germany to submit counter proposals and that the nego- tiations at Brussels by the experts on financial and economic affairs are therefore superfuous for the time being. tThe postponement of the Brussels conference until early March after the London conference was re- gently announced from Paris.)
 Leaders of German industry, ship ping and finance have been arriving in Berlin during the past few days for consultations with the govern ment's staff of economic experts who under the direction of Under-secre- tary Bergman of the ministry of economies are engaged in the draft ing of the German counter-proposals.
 Much of the press comment in re- gard to the situation warns the gov ernment against pinning it's faith on the possibility that the attitude of the new Washington government will supply Germany with moral backing. These commentators urge the govern ment to present Germany's case strictly on it's own merits.
 Commenting on the conference of the premiers with the cabinet, the Tageblatt says the participants left it with confidence that their interests would be safeguarded at the London meeting of the allies. The Lokal An zeiger, dealing with the disarmament question, says Bavaria will submit to the disarmament requirements, but the various newspaper commentators agree that reservations were made as to disarmament in East Prussia. General von Seecht, the chief of staff, is quoted as declaring that the Polish is only pretense and that the Poles would be able in one days march to penetrate the frontier.
