Washington, Mlarch 2.-Speculation
Is keen here as to what line of pro
cedure the President will recommend
to Congress when that body Inects in
extraordinary session on April 2,
and whether the Iuestion will be
ralse( as to a barrier existiig against
Military Co-operation bet ween the
United States anti the entente pow
ers, both as it affects land and naval
operations.
Students of international law in
Washington say that this does not
requ!re any additional departure fron
the Anerican policy of independent
'action. No pilitical allegiance or ni
ion of any kind wouid be necessary
It is sall. and that such a union wotIld
-not ice involved inl a tililitary co-opera
tion. The co-operation Could include
'without serious d( parture fron our
traitionai policies. the operation of
naval forces front a temporary base
granted us on entente soil or even the
sendi ng of a land force to serve with
the troops of anl u nde r tLe hi gh
connliandilt(ls of thtie mItente lpowt*ers. I

THROUGH THE NEEDLE'S EYE
Rich tlan Admitted it Was Hard to
Keep Money From Petrifying
the Fee'ings.
Sitting at his big desk in the oflce
of tbhe Thornton Manufaeturing comu
pany, Mr. William Thornton was dic.
tating letters when the name of 1ue.
Dr. (olton, the minister of the church
he attentdcd, was brought in. Mr.
Thornton dismissed the stenographer
and fold the boy to show the clArgy
in in.
When Doctor Colton came in, Ir.
Thornton greeted lilim cordilll.v, but he
secretly wondered what had brought
ti(e good doctor there so early in the
niorning.
"I'm sorry to disturb you at this
hoiur of the day, Mr. Thornton," lie
said, "but I have Just come from the
home of a woman whose hilsbliand has
died, and there's notling left to bury
blin with. I'm trying to raise enough
to cover the expenses of the funerfil..
Can you give me $15 toward it?"
William Thornton knlt his brows.
"Wasn't it less than1 two weeks ago
that I gave you $25 to help pay a les.
pitol bill for soicohne?" he asked.
"Yes, it was," said Doctor Colton.
"Well, when is this thing going to
end. doctor?" lie inquired. "One timo
it is $25 for hospital fees, another time
it's $10 for coni, another it's $20 for
rent. filn(] now It's $15 for funeral ex
p)nses. When are you going to stop
coming, doctor?"
Doctor Colton looked him squarely
In lie eye and aiiswered, "I will stop
coming whenever you wish it, WiI
lim. Do you want me to stop coming
when you are amply able to help in
such enses?"
Mr. Thornton thought a minute, and
then replied warmly, "No, doctor, I
don't want you to stop coming. I'd
grow as selfish as the devil if you did.
I lere's . lhe Imoney, a n d God bless -you
in the uise of it. I's hard to keep
moniey from pet-i fying your feelings,
Isn't i? Come ignin when you need
more."-Yout Ih's Compa nion.
NOT HIS KIND OF A CANNON

But the Other Was Beyond His
Comprehension.
The late Admiral Dowey was very'
fond of musie and when reeptions.i

Among the ndnlmiral's favorite singers
was Mrs. Susanne Oldberg of tihis city
and she related an amusing story that
rev(eils the (list I ngiIshed hero of MN
niln hay in the light of a wit.
One of the admiral's favorite selec
tions wais it duet, called iin musieal par
lance a canon, where one voice is nn
swered'( in imitation by another
throughout the piece. He seemed par
ticularly pleased always when this
cnnon was sung and would unfailing
;, :say 6 t Mrs. Ohiberg; . "Te411ilste l
is tils music called a canon? What a
queer name for a piece of music!"
"Wouldn't it be bringing coals to
Newenstie for me to try to tell you
anything about a canon, adimi ral?"
AMIrs. Oldberg would wvhimsically in
quire. To this Ie would Jokingly nn
swer: "No, indeed. I'mi a frald that
