The charge of the United States Con-
sui that fully 300 American girls had
died in Milan, being lured or forced into
lives of shame in that city, where they

1t is true, every word of it, that Mr..
Palmer, Mr.. Daily and Mr.. Frohman can
have every lady in their theaters re-
move her hat by making it a rule that
this shall be done. The public has been
praying for this rule for years. Man
