FOOD BLOCKADE GIVES CABINET WJIANXIETY German Reply Dissected and Course of Action Mapped Out If U. S. Vessel Is Destroyed. ; i; BY LEASED WIRE.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. The most Important cabinet ' meeting in many

months was held today In President Wilson's library, and the clean-cut Issue 'between the United States and

Germany over the war zone declaration practically was the sole topic of discussion. The German reply to the American protest was dissected and it Is understood the course of action and policy for the United States to follow in the event that German submarines sink an American steamship, was gone Into. It is not expected there will be any. further communication between Germany and the United States on the war zone for the present. The prevailing temper of mind in Washington today was that this government would face the possibility of being drawn into the European war if a ship is sunk. Most officials however, refuse to believe that Germany wtll permit an American ship to be torpedoed, because of the .consequences of such an act.

HOME NEEDS DAVIS SENTENCED TO JAIL FOR OYSTER THEFT

While Walter Davis, who lives on the New Paris pike, near the lake dam, is spending the next twenty-five days in the county Jail for stealing 50 cents worth of oysters from the Adams Express company, for whom he had been working about three weeks, his wife, who has three small children, is going to find the problem of existing more difficult than ever. That is unless charity acts promptly for the protection of herself and little ones. Her youngest child was born three weeks ago and her health is so poor that it is impossible for her to support herself. A friend of Davis said today that the man was in arrears in his rent and he doubted if there were enough supplies in the house for one meal. Neither Davis nor his wife have any relatives living in Richmond or vicinity. Davis pleaded with the mayor to permit him to stay at home every night while serving his sentence. He said he did not want his wife and children to remain in the house alone at nights. The mayor informed him that inasmuch as he had pleaded guilty to petit larceny he had been compelled, under the terms of the law, to Impose a jail sentence on him and that he had no authority to modify the sentence. He suggested that the sheriff might make him a "trusty."

REV, HOWARD SPEAKS

ON NATIONS SAVIORS

The Rev. Mr. Howard of the First

English Luthertn church, spoke to the high school pupils this morning on the

characteristics ot Washington and -Lincoln. "One of the most important ele

ments which entered into the lives of

Washington and Lincoln was their in

tellectual development. What these two great men obtained from the

schools of their time was very small

but that which they did obtain was

studied and every detail examined.

"Another trait was their physical fitness. They were the best athletes of their time, and physical fitness.

together with their intellectual power

made it possible that they could over

come the problems that confronted

them.

M'CONAIIA MEASURE

ON ADVISORY VOTE MAY PASS SENATE

Supporters of the McConaha bill to

provide for a preferential or advisory

vote on legislation with the Initiative

by 10 per cent of the voters to compel the secretary of state to put the measure to a vote of the people at the next election believe the bill will passHhe senate. A reversal of the house's former negative vote Is also expected.

Study of the measure has gained

many supporters for it. Friends argue

that It will take many moral Issues out of politics and would provide a weighty advisory vote although the legisla

tors would not be bound by it.

Under a law such, as that proposed

by McConaha the liquor question could be put to a state-wide advisory

vote, taking It entirely out of politics
