"Iron Out" Differences of

Opinion." NEW YORK. Feb. 26. William Jen nlngs Bryan and ' other prominent temperance leaders from all parts of the country formed at a meeting here last night a federation of the major lty of the agencies -which are working in behalf of country-wide prohibition, under the same of the national dry federation. Dr. Charles Branlon of Pittsburgh was elected president The delegates were said to represent 25, 000,000 persons. While it was said no difference of opinion had developed as to the end sought. It was announced that the an tl-saloon league and the W. C T. U were opposed to Joining the fedora tlon on the ground that they might lose their identity under the rules of the new organization. Both organizations had representatives at the meet Ing and agreed to co-operate. Three committees were named for the pur pose of. adjusting differences and to outline plans for the dry campaign. William H. Anderson, superintend ent of the anti-saloon league of New York state, issued a statement denying that Mr. Bryan hod been brought here to iron out the differences of opinion between advocates of national prohimition and those who favored the sale of beer and light wines. He said there was no friction and that alll the temperance forces in the state were working for ratification by the legislature of the federal amendment and the enactment of a bill providing for complete wartime prohibition. Revelations of a Wife "GIVE ME TIME" I did not realize the impulse that made me stretch out my hand, lay it upon his, and ask gently: "Please, Jack, don't tell mo anything important until after dinner. I feci rather upset anyway. Let's hav one of our old care free dinners, and when we've finished we can talk." Jack gave me a long curious look, under which I flushed hot. Then he said brusquely, "Ail right, the weather and the price of flour, those are good, safe subjects, we'll tick to them." The omnibus had spread the table with a clean cloth and the silver. He had also placed pats of butter and a silver dish of crusty French bread. "Now I know something is the mat ter," Jack said mischievously. "1 never ate with you that you didn't grab a piece of that bread as soon as the boy brought it, and eat it luxuriously while you were waiting for the rest of the meal." "Well, you see. I'm so overwhelmed at your return, I can't come down to sordid things." I tried to make my Voice gay. "You tiost" give me time." "I've been doing .lust that for years," he returned cryptically. I was glad that the arrival of th oysters made a reply of mine unnecessary. The dinner was perfect in every detail. Jack ate heartily, and although I was too unstrung to eat much I managed to get . enough down to de celve him into thinking I was enjoy ing the' meal also. While we were discussing the salad, Jack summoned tb? waiter. "Will you have an ice or some pas try before the cheese?" he asked me. "Oh, no, Jack:" I answered, "noth ing but a bit of cheese." "Camenibert? Or, 1 suppose the war has banished that also." The waiter ben apologetically. "Ob, yes. we have no Camembert We will be able to offer you Roque fort." "I would just as soon have those little American cream cheese with the black coffee." The coffee and cheese dispatched, I leaned back and smiled at Jack. "Now light your cigar." 1 commanded. "Not yet. We're going to talk a bit first, you and I. I felt that earn? little absurd thrill of apprehension. Jack was changed in some way, I couid not tell just how. How Jack Mads It Necessary for Madge to Break the News Bluntly "Look at, me, Margaret." Jack's voice was low and tense. It held a masterful note I had never heard. Without realizing that I did so, I obeyed him. lifted my eyes to his. What I read in them made me tremble. This was a new Jack facing me across the table. The cousin-bro ther, my best friend since my child hood, was gone 1 did not know this man who reached out his. hand and covered mine sa i'. lay on the table before me. I did not admit to myself why. but I wished, oh, so earnestly, that I had told Jack over the telephone of my marriage during his year's absence in the South American wilderness, where he could neither send nor receive letters. No brother could have been kinder or nearer to me during all my l'fc than this distant cousin of mine had been. I had felt guilty at having married during Ms nbsence without hfs knowing it. So I had waited to tell him of my marriage until we had flnlsh."l the dinner to which Jack had asked me on the first day he returned from t:fs exile. I must not wait another minute, I told myself. "Jack," I said brokenly, "there is something I want to tell you I'm afraid you will be angry, but please don't be, big brother, will you?" Friends Society Will Sew for Service Men The Friends Missionary society will have an all-day meeting at the West Richmond community house Wednesday.

PUT BRAGGARTS IN FIRST LINE URGES GERMAN They Should Relieve Old Men in the Trenches, He Says irf Reichstag. AMSTERDAM, Feb. 26. Sunday's edition of the Berlin Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts reports a debate in the Reichstag on Saturday, during which strong complaints were made againet the treatment given the older classes of German soldiers. Herr Stuecklen, a Socialist member said the Government had no intention of releasing the older military classes. He criticized the fact that in the landsturm men 48 years old still were being kept in the trenches despite the order that they be ta'.:en out of the firing line. In consequence of the arbitrary procedure of officers regarding furloughs, added Hen Stuecklen, increasing numbers of soldiers had taken their own furloughs and now were undergoing Imprisonment for desertion. Herr Mueller-Meiningen, Radical leader, said that 10,000 of the older men still were in the firing line. The pretext that there were no reserves to replace such men was scouted by Herr Ryszel, a Socialist. "It would only be necessary," he remarked, "to request all the pan-German braggarts, who thank God the war is not yet ended, to volunteer. The feeling at thefront is not enthusiastic, and this is not surprising in view of the treatment the soldiers are getting;." Criticizing the food of the soldiers, Herr Ryszel declared there were units in the army called "hunger companies," and lie remarked that a furlough could be bought by subscribing to the war loan. He ended by demanding the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry to examine into the sentences passed by military tribunals. General Scheuch denied that men had been called up because of their allegiance to a political party. He added, however: "We certainly call up those who prove to be agitators."

He's Counsel for U. S. A. Railroads Judge John B. Payne, Judge John Barton Payne of Chicago, general counsel for the railroad administration, wanted "to move to Washington where his war work was, but hated to forsake his irden in Chicago which was famous among horticulturists. He compromised by transplanting part of his garden to the capital. Trial of Lake County Republicans Begins INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26.
