"I can't get work to suport my wife,

When they" were married Davles held a

"Please let us In," his wife pleaded.
"It is raining bard out here,"
Davles held a revolver In his hand,
"Walt a minute and you will hear some

Blockade of Britain Not In
tended to Interfere With
American Commerce,
Says German Envoy.
t
WASHINGTON, Feb. 0.
Germany does not Intend to lntcrfero
with American commerce by Its blockado
of the British Isles, according to n formal
statement issued today by Count von
Bernatorff, the German Ambassador. Al
though he said he had nut received in
structions from his Government concern
Ins the German Admiralty order, hn de
clared Germany simply proposes to de
stroy enemies' ships.
The statement follows:
"There Is nothing new In the communi
cation made on February 1 by the Gor
man Admiralty with respect to the atti
tude of tho German Imperial navy to
ward ships of the enemy or toward
neutral commerce. It is absurd to de
scribe the proclamation ns a paper block
ade of the British Isles. The communica
tion Is simply a statement of what has
been, since the beginning of the war, the
attitude of the navies of all the belligerent
Powers toward ships of the enemy.
"A few months ago tho British Ad
miralty proclaimed the closing of the
North Sea, the waters of which are neu
tral. Germany does not profess to close
even the English Channel to neutral com
merce, and It does not Intend to molest or '
selzo American vessels laden with food
stuffs for the civilian population of enemy
countries; it Is to be hoped that England
will not make necessary a reconsideration
of this attitude by seizing American ships
like the WUhelmlna.
"Germany does, however, announce to
the world that It proposes to continue to
destroy ships belonging to the enemy.
and It adds the notification to, neutral
Powers that, on account of the 'fact that
British ships are employing neutral Hags,
according to secret Instruction now known
to have been Issued by the British Gov
ernment, bona tide neutral vessels may
actually be In danger,
"Although, according to well understood
and universally accepted usages of war
fare naval vessels are perfectly justified
In destroying merchantmen of the enemy,
the German Government now sees fit to

effect, stating the actual radius of opera

nenrly 20,000 boys and girls from tho Phil
adelphia schools. When ho line! finished

gellst said:
"When I get to Heaven I want to meet
thousands of boys nnd girls playing in
tho streets, who will como up nnd tell
me the' nccoptcd Jesus In tho tnbernaele
ono afternoon."
While pleading with the boys nnd girls
to live good live?, Sunday said:
"People don't wait to lcoxn things
until they grow old. That's why you go
to school now. That's why you learn to
Jump and turn somersaults now. I
learned to do It when I was a boy nnd
I can do It now. If I'd try to learn now,
I'd break my neck. That's why you
want to learn to be good nnd pollto and
honest now. If you learn to be bad
while you'ro young, you'll be bad when
you grow up.
MUST NOT PLAY "FOR KEEPS."
"The Lord doesn't ask you to go around
with n long face. He wants you to play
and laugh and bo happy. But don't play
marbles 'for keeps." That a tho devils
way of training you to bo a gambler.
Don't let him got hold of you now nnd
make It hard for you to he good when
you grow up and become men and women.
"Stay away from boys who lie and
swear and smoke cigarettes and play
hookey from school. They are dangerous
and ought to carry tho red flag."
The flags of Belgium, Germany and
Ireland won tho greatest applause when
Sunday unfurled flags of foreign coun
tilos in teaching the lessons of nations.
Thero was an uproar of cheers and hand
clapping when ho waved a large Ameri
can flag, and the thousands of boys and
girls stood and sang "My Country, 'TIs
of Thee."
"Billy" broke tho 10 pretty vases when
he had the youngsters name the com
mandments one by one that tho boy
broke when ho played hookey from Sun
day school to shoot marbles "for keeps,"
while his mother believed him to be a
good child,
Previous to tho sermon tho tabcrnaole

YOUNG MAN DROWNED
Loses Life After Recovering Boat
That Had Drifted Prom Moorings.
Russell Thompson, Z0 years old, 3103

Schuylkill River shortly af teriteon1" t3
dny nftor helping to rescue a launch
which had broken loose from Its moor
liiKM ut a boathouse midway between the
Queen Lnne pumping station and the
Falls bridge. The body has not been
recoered.
Ills companion, Joseph Gullfoll, of West
Markle street, Roxborough, Bwam toward
tho shore and waB nulled out of the wa
ter by l'ark Guard Laskey after he and
Thompson hnd clung to their overturned
canuo for half an hour.
The two men. seeing the launch drifting
downstream, followed It In the canoe and
tied It up below tho Baltimore and Ohio
bridge. Returning to the boathouse their
canoe upset In the strong current. They
were members of the YVissahlckon Yacht
Club. Park guards of the Woodford guard

THE WEATHER
It Is not often' that the weather mtuda
anybody's business but its own. But by
Its mood the last few weeks It looks as
If It had the people's Interest thoroughly
at heart. For Instance, It Is never very
pleasant to wait for a car on the cor
ner, but to do bo In the middle of a
puddle, or with wet. soggy snow flakes
pelting down one's neck Is an Intolerable
stato of affairs. All of which the weather
undoubtedly appreciates. "Maybe," ha
says to himself, "If I give them enough
of that Btuff and there Is a little more
pneumonia and tonsllltls the Finance
Committee will understand that a city's
health Is involved In this question of
transit." Anyway, the foggy sky this
morning Is genuinely Indicative of the
point of view of a few gentlemen -whose
names It Is not necessary to mention.
Are we to catch colds on the way to
work or are we to get there comfortably
and with the least risk to our health? The
present antiquated transit plan or the
efficient new one? The weather Is Jus
tifying Iho opinion of the majority.
