As soon^as Germany was in such a position that she need have no more consideration for America she should declare all Great Britain blockaded and announce that every ship of whatever flag which attempt ed to enter a British port would be regarded as a blockade runner and destroy it without warning. "This policy would -lead . to the starvation of Britain and thus to.hei submission and then automatically the submission of Russia and France. America then would be Isolated and would have to submit because Ger many having obtained all the entente battleships and submarines would be far stronger 'on the sea than America. "America, when defeated, would have to surrender all German mer chant ships which she had seized and also to pay all war costs of the cen tral powers and their allies." Voted for by House Military Committee?1,000 'Additional Officers r Washington,^ Feb. 26.?The military committee late today voted for a regular standing army of 187,000 men, ivith a^2 per cent allowance ^ <?r; fpc; the vote. Voting in the committee began at a proposal for 220,000 men. ' The number was gradually scaled dwon until a proposal for 150,000 men was beaten by one vote. Then the Republicans and three Democrats put through the provision as it was dually accepted by the committee to be incorporated in the bill to be presented to tht House. The War Department's estiuiute oi additional officers for the regular army also was increased from 780 to 1,000. The section for reorganizing the National Guard was framed to provide for a maximum strength of 424,000 men, at which 50 per cent must be recruited within two years. The Senate committee has practlcally agreed on a provision for several summer student encampments at the discretion of the President Those who take the instruction would be mustered into a special federal re seryp, pledging themselves to serve the country is needed, but being quite apart from the regular army service or the National Quard. The plan resembles the continental army scheme somewhat. . WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS Patented Process Is Responsible for Its International Popularity Smokers so much appreciate the flavor and coolness and aroma of Prince Albert pipe and cigarette tobacco that they often marvel that this one brand could be so different from all others. The answer to this question is to bo found (Ml thfi rpvpra*? olilo """"" ? WW u.uv XJM. W*Cl Jf Prince Albert package, where you will read: "Process Patented July 30th, 1907." That tells the whole story. Prince Albert is made by a patented process that cuts out the bite and parch, which makes the tobacco so mighty agreeable and satisfying to mei of every taste of every civilized nation on the globe. Smokers should (realize that this patented process cost three years' continous work and study and a fortune In money to perfect But the result has proven to be worth all that was expended upon it, believed they nevei could enjoy a pipe or a makin'e cigarette. Prince Albert makes it possible foi every man to smoke a pipe or to roll his own cigarettes. A"nd, no matter how tender the tongue, Prince Albert cannot bite or parch. That is cut out by the patented process, leaving foi the smoker only the Joys of the fragrant tobacco. it is a fact that since Prince Albert "arrived," Just about six years ago, it has made three men smoke plpei tgrhere one smoked a pipe before!
