i,m? NO POSTPONEMENT Washington, Feb. 28. ? Confiden tial advices received from Berlin ' state that German and Austrian sub marine commanders already have been given their new orders and that ] from midnight Tuesday th-y will be authorised to einlt without warning all armed merchant ships of the en emles of Germany. It was said also that many of the mbmarlne commanders probably had left theJ- bseee.of voyag e, and then eves ahould the United States re ??wt th? olti. fljMiu* of thd OAUiyaig L, U wop Id *9 tg>?e slblo to set word to many of the submarines. It was staled. however, that so far neither the United State* or any other nation had aaksl a Indicated that the Qerlaa govt rn meat might be willing, to.trnt m peaceful merchtttyei* ehl^e wfth armament so light and so plaoed thai' It could not poaelbly be used offen- , s!ve!y. For instance, it was lntl-i mated, that Germany might, ahould the United Statee Insist upon It, ? agree to grant Immunity tc teasels 1 (?.rued with a single, one pounder, placed on the stern. and so arranged I that such agun could swing not w?.re than 15 to 40 degrees. The state department feoldjTto v.e position that an unarmed ship and a silip armed for defenaivo purposes arc in identically the eame claas and must be treated accordingly. Officials of the department have Indicated a willingness to dlaettse with the cen tral European powers the quobtto.i of whnt may properly be considered 'defer si ve armament, and theer have b-en intimations that the government was cona'.derlng revising lta instruc-! tlons to port authorities in this re-' *?rd.

SERVICE" Made Interesting Address At Baraca meeting Yesterday. 161 Members Were Present At Session Of The Class. Navy Lead In Membership. '? 'i ? Ac the meeting- of the B*r*ea c'.aaa at th? Methodist church yesterday morning, Ret. O. O. Jones, Presby < ? terian evangelist, made a moat im pressive talk on "Personal Service/' Dr. Jones was present upon personal Invitation and his address was great ly appreciated and enjoyed by the members present. "The great fault In the world to day," said Dr. Jones, "Is that we arc often too willing to let a man stay! down ? In fact, wc seem Inclined to push him down further ? instead of giving him a helping hand and say ing to him, 'Come on, o'.d fellow, I'll give yon a lift.' When a man fails in business there are many who will nod their heads wlsrly and make the statement that they expected it all the time, that he was a reckless manager and that he was not prac- ? Ileal. They will make absolutely no attempt to aaBlst him. When a young man confesses t}is faith In Jesus, some of the wise ones in the church wttll solemnly announco that they [ give him six weeks before he will j fall from grace. They will make no i attempt In assisting him In living j a Christian life. Undoubtedly many; of them would be disappointed If he > did not live np to their predictions.1 When a young girl atea^lh* Audtm ot society are Immediately jammed fc geiast her and she b<?:CM&? vic tim of gossip and all kiqd of scan dal. Few, If any, are brave enough to announce their lntent'.on of help ing her and of Keeping ber from Lho path of sin. "This porsonal service Is the greatest work you can do, my friends. It Is the work that Jesus did before you. Whfn you see the opportunity of helping one who is In trouble, In distress, or who has sinned, don't turn your back to him, but turn to him with a smile and say to him: 'All right, old man, I'll try to my best to help you out.' " . . 101 Members Preuent Another record In the way of at t nduncc, was broken at the class yesterday. There were 161 members ( present in all. Of these, 80 were on the Navy side and 78 turned out to help boost the Army's roll. Thl* is the flrst time in several weeks that the S'avy has taken, th/ lead and they are determined to hold It. It now appears that the Army will have a hard Qght to beat out in the present membership campaign. The Navy is confident that they will con tinue to gain rapidly on tholr rivals In the future.
