EL PASO HERALD SAYS GERMANY IFBPE1E Would Not Confer With the Allies to Avoid Wax, Says Sir Edward Grey. I.ndnr. Ens.. March 22. "War might la t been aoided by an European i inference hen and where Germany u. s -ed, ' foreign secretary Sir Edward (jh told an audience in London this rtemoon. He was acting as chairman . f a gathering which was listening to a lei ture on the strategy of the war. n tinuing along this line, the foreign - i . tary said: T n3 is the fourth time within liv i mi morv that Prussia has made war v.on rurope and we are determined it be the last. The expenditure of hundreds of mil linns of money and the loss of mil in ns of lies might have been avoided 1 a conference of the European pow t rs neld in London or at the Hague or Tl'ereer and in whatever form Ger ii.am would have consented to hold it. Allies Willing to Confer. 'Last July before the outbreak of i xr. Prance, Italy and Russia were r-ad; to accept a conference. Germany refused eery suggestion made for ittilms the dispute in this way and on Iit must rest now and for time the appalling; responsibility for having plunged Europe into this war." Lefttinj?

The great issue is this: We wish the nations of J.urope to be free and live their inde pendent lives, working out their own form of government and their own form of national development in full liberty, whether they be great states or small states. That is our ideal. The German ideal is that the Ger mans are a superior people, to wnom all things are lawful and against whom lesistanoe is unlawful and must be put down , that they must establish domination over the nations of the con tinent and that all must be subservient to Germany. I would rather perish or leave the continent than live under such condi tions.

MANY I IN ST I IT Przemysl Falls Into Hands of Russians After With standing Long Siege. ' (Oniineed Trem rase One). SUBSCRIPTIONS TO GERMAN LOAN TOTAL $2,250,000,000 Berlin. Germany, March 22. (By wireless to Sayville, L. I ) The Ber lin Tageblatt declares that nine billion -marks ( $2,250,000,000) have been sub scribed for the German war loan. This means that money to finance the war until late in the autumn has been se cured. If the war is still going on at this time according to this news paper, the wealth of the nation and the willingness of the people for sacri fices will provide further means. According to an official announce ment, the number of prisoners of war ) ow in Germany is 801,000 enlisted men srd over S00 commissioned officers. 1 luring the war of 1870-71 the number i . prisoners of "war was 383,000 ' of some sections of trenches. We cap tured them Sunday. Near Bagatelle we blew up three mines and two companies of our trows stormed a German trench in -which ney maintained their posi tions despite strong counter attacks. Five hundred yards from there the enemy, after exploding two mines and bombarding our trenches, rushed to at tack on a front of about 250 yards. After some very hard hand to hand fighting, our assailants were hurled back despite the arrival of their rein forcements. Our artillery caught them under its fire as they were falling back, and inflicted very heavy losses on them." Kantian Driven from Memel. Berlin, Germany. March 22 (by wire less to Sayville, L. I.) Aa official statement given out today by the Ger man army headquarters says: "A fresh attempt to take the German position on the south slope of the Lor ette heights was made Sunday night, but resulted in failure. "The Russians Sunday were driven from Memel, on the Baltic sea in east Prussia, after a short engagement to the south of the town, followed by tenacious fighting in the streets. Under the protection of Russian troops, a Rus sian mob looted the private property of German citizens in Memel. Carloads of goods were conveyed across the fron tier. A special report on this looting will be published. "North of Marlanpool, Russian at tacks have been repulsed with heavy losses. West of the Orzyc river near Jadnorosak. northeast of Przasnysz and to the northwest of Ciachanow, Russia, attacks by night and day have broken down under the German fire." HOUSE OF LORDS DEMANDS CUT IN PRiCE FOR AFTERNOON TEA London. Eng., March 22. The house of lords, which for many years has -been paying 25 cents per head for its after noon tea, finds in tne midst of war's alarms for a vigorous agitation to have the price cut in half. The demand is for "a six-penny tea." with unlimited quantities of bread and butter and tea cakes. In the house of commons also the present session has devoted at least a small portion of its time to considering the needs of its stomach.

AVERT clever young lawyer re cently informed me that be would not marry until he had an income of $1.M a year and a big nestegg to tide him over the possible loss of some important client's patron ise This extravagant viewpoint is fairlv characteristic of our times. Com ing from the lawyer to the man in mer cantile life, and so on down to the day worker, the standard of the income upon which one may safely marry grad ually decreases. But modern standards of what a young couple can start out on are vastly different from those of our parents' day. Girls are trained to demand luxury as an integral part of their life. Men have accustomed themselves to think of women as lilies of the field who toll not, but who, by the elegance of their raiment, suggest the prosperity of the man who is paying for It. , Xo wonder modern marriages are so frequently failures. Marriages that are based on love may go on the rocks. But when love is denied and the heart is starved that a certain standard of af fluence may be reached, the resulting I marriage Is bound to go on tne rocks. It is neither sentiment nor sentimen tality, but cold fact that human beings crave love and affection. And the Heart Chance. By the time the young lawyer has reached the 3W.se standard he sets himself: when T business man ac quires the fMt he insists on, or by the time the clerk has risen to the 1e he thinks necessary, one of two thisgz b&ve happened. Kither the heart, denied its natural heritage of love, marriage and a home, satisfies Itself on unworthy emotions, or emotion denied atrophies and the once warm and lov ing nature settles into a mold of cold calculation. The girl who doesn't love a man. enough to live with him in a small flat and do her own work, even though she is used to a mansion and three maids to wait on her. does not know the meaning of "for better, for worse." The woman who is not sufficiently in terested in her husband's life work to help him do it by sharing his life's bur dens has no real, lasting love for him. Tor richer, for poorer" means some thing. A millioWlre'a riches may van ish over night, and then the woman he only knew how to win by rich gifts and luxury is all too likely to turn front the aridness of a life which never knew love and is now denied the golden rain that made it a land of milk and honey. Lore'ft Offering. If the modern man wants to have a fair offering to brina" his wife, let hin bring her love, high ideals, clean liv ing and sympa'hy that will make her reel rich indeed. But all the cold dol- I lars in the world will not buy her deep fi eling and lasting emotion sues as re needed to be the foundation of lore am marriage. j Men seem to encourage women to I income well dressed manikins and! ihn turn from them after a few years J nf matrimony have proven that a j t ,u lor s model may be all extemrl ! flitter with no deep, satisfying feel- i ing with which to respond to or to j kindle love Men dare not offer to the well j dressed woman their demand has ere- ! ated a life in which she must be loy and do without luxury for liiem Women are afraid to marry poor men. and then by dressing badly to be forced to throw awav the line o beauty with which they caught their fish.
