the Lehigh nud Wyoming regions,
which furnish the remaning 72 per"

These underground roads are a great
expense. All tho coal that can he re

cost of the mines. Water that runs |
Into theso underground passages must |
be steadily pumped out to protect ad

that the plans of either of the big par

I the Republicans 214 when the special

i the action has been determined apou,
. it was not revealed. The possibilities
i are the arming of American merchant

! old statutes constructed by some offl

I voylng of the vessels by warships, the
t Immediate calling of an extra session

( trol.
Reports conveyed to the President'
| that the prospects are excellent for
prompt and favorable action on his
suggestion for a revision of the Sen
ate rules so that action ran be secur
ed on an armed neutrality resolution
; were believed to bring the calling of
an extra sesston nearer.
While some officials, notably those
at the State Department, have ad
. vised the President that he has full
. power to arm merchantmen without
; congressional action, others feel that
. such a step would be stretching the
i law. It Is pointed out, however, that
i any restrictions surrounding the arm
. Ing of vessels do not apply to sup
i plying convoys. The best judgment
i of the Navy Department has .been
against convoying for strategical rea
sons, but It was considered possible
, that If no other way Is found, thla
, course might be adopted.
The Tresldent was understood to
feel that the tying up of American

continue much longer. He also be-
I lleves that the Nation standa behind

American lives and rights.

London.—The presentation by the

Commons of a resolution calling for
the Immediate application of the home
rule statute to Ireland precipitated one
of the most bitter sessions In months,
' and threw the home rule question

any part of Ireland that wished home

Ulster to accept. At the aame time,
the proposal drew from the Ulsterltae

AGAINST SUBMARINES RULING OP
SECRETARY LANSING AND AT
TORNEY GEN. GREGORY.
Whether to Aet on Thla Advice or
Call Special Seaaion of Congress Will
Be Determined Soon By Prealdent.
Washington. —. Secretary J>nsing
and A'torney General Gregory have
advlaed President Wilson that he haa
full authority to arm American mer
chant ihlps against Illegal attacka by
Oersaa submarines.
It was to these two officers, the Gov
ernment's authority reapectlvely on In
ternational questions and law, that the
President referred the contention, rale
e* in the Senate that old statutes en
&ct6d to Ulthfllilt iwarphnntmunt {/}
resist pirates raised an insuperable bar
to the stop he desired to take to meet
the submarine menace. They bats. re
ported that the statutes have no ap
plication to the present situation.
Whether the President will aft im
mediately in accordance with this op
inlon, or will wait to call a special, >
session of Congress to pasa a resolu
tion similar to that killed by a filibus
ter during the last session was not re- "
vealed at this time.
In view ot the action of the SsnaU
in revising its rules to prevent an
other filibuster, it was thought In some
Administration quarters that the Pres
idena would Immediately call an extra
session.
One problem Involved is the prob
able difficulty over the organization of
the next House because of the almost
evenly distributed balance of power
between the Democrats and Republic
ana. A long drawn-out fight such as
haß marked the organization of more
than one House, probably would de
lay action on' the armed neutrality
question, a contingency which the
President is determined to avoid.
It Is taken for granted in all quart
ers that before July 1 Mr. Wilson will
summon an extra session of Congress.
The only question open waa whether
It will be called Immediately. At least
a week's notice Is considered impera
tive.
Many officials expect a decision by
the President, either to call an extra
session Immediately, or to arm Ameri
can merchantmen on his own author- ;
lty, before the end of another week.

KILL CHICKEN-EATING HOGS
Menace to Fs*|a «n«l to Pofkethook—
Habit le Result of Dismiss or |
Unbalanced Ration.
Chicken-eating hogs should either be
cured immediately or disposed of aa
they are a menace not only to the
flock but to the rest of the bundi of
hogs and the pocketbook as well. No
real healthy, profitable hog will eat
chickens and this habit is a result of
disease or unbalanced ration. Corn
fed hogs, those following fattening cat
tle, —a suckled-down pow, boar shut In
a tight pen, or pjnty pigs usually de
velop into this pest In most cases it
can be cured by feeding carrion, which
in itself is a dangerous practice; the
better way Is to feed tankage. If I
were going to try to cure a chicken eat
er I would feed an overdose of tank
age at first so as to be sure tbe animal
got enough of the food It was craving,
then reduce the amount to a more near
ly-balanced ration, but rather over than
under usual amount because this an
imal, being in an abnormal condition
may be able to assimilate a greater
amount of high-protein carrying food,,
aaya a writer. i»
It la not every animal that will yield
to treatment but the man who has
chicken eaters around better begin to
get nervous else something worse, will
strike him. It is merely a symptom
that the hog Is not wlte In tfce pink of
condition, therefore more liable to
catch the germs of cholera and the Uke,
or form a culture and develop a case
of genuine chplera. If -tjiere la any
thing in thla germ theory, there are
most all kinds of germs sailing around

him while be WM at dinner, and pre- ■
aented him with a handsome trunch

Completely bewildered by this unex

stammered his appreciation.

Looking for Virtues.
When you have a mind to divert
your fancy, consider the good qualities
of your acquaintances; aa the enter
prising vigor of this man, the modesty
of another, the liberality of a third,
and so on. For there is nothing so en
tertaining as a lively Image of the
virtues exhibited in the character of
I those we converse with, occurring as
I numerously as possible. Let this,
therefore, be always at hand.—Marcui

Net Really an Escape.
We often think that, If we had been
placed In the same diffloolties which
we see overwhelm others, we could
have got oat of them. Jest so; we
might have eqneesed, or wriggled, or
, crept oat ot a position from which an
other who would not stoop coold not
have aacaped. If escape takes the
, form of a temptation, they do not es
cape.—Mary Cholmondeley.
