Assistant United States Attorney
Charles w. Russell of the department Of
justice has returned from Cuba with
narrowing tales of the sufferings of the
reconcentrados whom he saw in 80 or
40 towns along the railroads. What he
says is likely to be confirmed with en-
phasis by Consul A. C. Brice, when he
comes home from Matanzas to make
room for Henry D. Sayler, who is the
first appointment to be made in Cuba by
President Mckinley. Mr.. Brice is glad
to get away. He has long chafed under
what he considered the inexcusable de-
lay of our government in taking decis-
i've action to stop the fracas in the
island. His communications to the gov
ernment, it is said, have been full of
complaint and of argument, for he has
believed intervention inevitable, and the
sooner begun the better for all con-
cerned. His friends predict that as soon
as he is released from the seal Of official
silence, he will initiate the example of
ex-Minister Hannis Taylor, and tell
what he knows and what he thinks is
the imperative and immediate duty of
our government

With the completion of the new refin-
cries owned by the Arbuckle interests,
the war on sugar prices may be ex-
pected The Havemeyers having
knocked the profits out of the coffee
business by the development Of the
Woolson Spice Company, the Arbuckles
are now prepared to turn the tables
with an assault on Havemeyer sugar
Within two years, the price Of coffee has
been reduced from 1874 to S1a cents a.
pound, and the former profits Of from
100 to 150 per cent have been simply
wiped out. This means to the Arbuckles
loss of about $525,OOO year, it is said
The consumers have reaped some bene-
fit from this, and when the cut in sugar
begins, they will benefit still further.
In other words, the strife Of com
petition is calculated to bring about that
reduction of the price which legislation
was powerless to effect SO much for the
economic harmonies'' and the self-reg-
ulating capacity of trade The effect on
the stock market will be worth watch
ing

DR.. Samuel Schenk, the Viennese
scientist who processes to have discov-
cred treatment for determining the
sex Of offspring before birth, points to
his six sons Gour living) as proof of
his assertion. These, he says, were the
result of design. Including other fam
lilies in which he has experimental, he
counts fourteen cases in which his sys-
tenn has proved it's infallibility Without
actually saying. SO, he gives it to be un-
derstood that royal family, much in
need of an heir, is under peculiar obli-
cations to him for professional services.
Blood difference, the doctor is made to
say in a cable interview, is the key to
sex. The blood of a male, it appears,
contains five million blood corpuscles,
while that Of a female contains only
four million, and the problem, as indi-
Gated by the DR.. Schenk, is to provide
such nourishment for the mother as will
produce the larger number of blood cor
puscles in the embryo. If this explana-
ton lacks luminosity, DR.. Schenk can't
help it, for his great secret has been
confided to the Imperial Academy of
Science, where it will be tested and pub
lished. If it upsets the theory of sex in
germs and conflicts with other hypoth-
eses, he can't help that either. He has
been too long experimenting with ami
mails and marking eggs for roosters to
be mistaken now All the while, the
eminent European savants are saying
perhaps" and perhaps" and asking
for proof before they give up what they
had supposed they knew about the i'm
possibility of some things They have
such respect for the Doctors scholarship
and good sense that they hesitate to
condemn his discovery, but they do de-
mand his proofs. This is an interesting
question, but it would appear from the
Doctors statement, that his. treatment
is not for the masses but the classes.
So much the better. Nature has been
remarkably sagacious in preserving a
constant and remarkably equitable bal
ance between the sexes throughout the
world and throughout the ages, so that,
for the perpetuation of the race, she
would seem to require no artificial as
sistance from science and no gratuitous
interposition from man.

Figures produced from London not
long ago indicating the decrease Of for
eign travel for last year, are confirmed
by returns from the steamship offices
in New York. The number of cabin
passengers arriving at that port from
Europe last year was 9O,s32. That is
1921 less than in 1896, 1926 less than in
1895, 2629 less than in 1894, and 3O,S97
less than in 1898. 1t is necessary to go
back still farther to find as small a
passenger list. 1t is worth noting that
the American line is a close second to
the Cunard in the number of passengers
carried, and the North German Lloyd
third.

That terrific onslaught upon civil SER
vice in the house was ridiculous fizzle
After all the fierce noise of forensic bat
tie, the debate was shut Off after q little
maneuvering, and with the aid of the
vote Of Speaker Reed, who thus broke
a tie. The motion to strike from the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill the appropriation for the
support of the civil service commission
was not even made, and the bill was
passed without even a division. There
were vague rumors that a bill is yet to
be reported for the modification of the
civil service law, and these may have
helped to persuade some Of the kickers
to vote to close the debate. All the same,
the moral effect of the passage of the
appropriation bill is that Of defeat of
the raiders. 1t is fresh proof that their
bark is much more fearful than their
bife

After a contest of six months, during
which incalculable damage has been
wrought to the shipbuilding, the iron
and steel industries of Great Britain,
the great strike in the engineering
trades seems to be breaking up, and the
stampede for work sets in. The en-
ployers declare that consent to the de-
mand for an eight-hour day and the lin
itation of the use of labor-saving ma
chinery would be a'fatal blow to Brit
ish trades, especially in competition
with the United States The expectation
of manufactures from the United States
and to less extent from other coun-
tries, has been increased by the par
alysis of business in England, and that
paralysis was caused by the strike of
the engineers. Only foreigners have
been benefited by the struggle

at its January meeting, Wednesday, at
the First Unitarian Church, will be
something of departure from the rule,
for instead of treating an ethical prob
lem or religious or denominational
principle it will offer a study of early
Christianity as reflected in modern fic-
ton. Three books have been selected
for presentation Joshua Davidson, :"
'Marius the Epicurean," and "Quo
Vadis." The first paper has been writ
ten by Miss Frances Hill, and will be
read by Mrs. A. S. Garew; the other
papers are by Miss Eleanor Whiting,
and Miss Ellen A. Kimball respectively,
The special program Of the day will be
preceded by a paper on 'The growth Of
religious tolerance" under the auspices
Of the religious and philanthropic news
committee.

Miss Frances E. Willard says the res
ignation of Lady Henry Somerset from
the international w. G. II. U. "has been
impending for months, and comes as the
sequel of twelve years of the most de-
voted toll for the cause of total absti-
nence and prohibition" There is no
word about the social question in India,
only this pretty personal compliment:
''The daughter of an earl and the in
heritor of wealth. She brought to most
difficult and unpopular reform more
gifts and graces than other single indi-
vidual has ever laid upon. its sacred
shrine"

is even then to be much preferred to
the opposition that was formed against
him. This was coalition OF free silver
and spoilsmen, wish a renegade repub-
lican for candidate, who professed his
willingness to pose as republican and
support Bryan's Chicago platform at
the same time. The election of such a
man to the United States senate would
be nothing less than national misfor-
tune. 1t is therefore in all respects
gratifying that Mr.. Hanna has finally
triumphed in this extraordinary con-
test, and if the president has really been
OF any assistance in bringing about the
result, we are not disposed to find fault
With him for that reason.

Joaquin Miller, who went to the KIon-
dixie as newspaper correspondent, can
not complain that he was denied any
opportunities for experience" He got
caught in a blizzard, which his COM
panions escaped by remaining behind
while he pushed on alone. Though he
did not perish he records the loss of an
ear and two toes by frost, and at last
accounts had not fully recovered from
the results Of exposure. The poet of
the Sierras is an aged bard to have
such tales to tell and the strength to
tell them.

One of the most active ladies in Wor-

Mrs. ELENA F. Ide, who yesterday cele-
brated her S3d birthday at the residence
of her son-in-law, Mr.. Theodore f. Full
Ter, As Piedmont street. During the

a large number of friends who also re-
memberedI her with many beautiful
presents and flowers. Among them was
a large birthday cake. Mrs. Ide was
born Jan. u, 1915. She married DR.. c.
F. Ide OF Pottsdam, N. Y, and had one

AS Mrs. Ward had limited her re-
marks to considering a college train
ing for boys, Mrs. Whiting, the second
speaker upon the affirmative, devoted
her efforts to proving the advantages Of
a college training for girls. She first
took up the general objection that is
made against girls going to college,
which is that the training they receive
there will tend to unfit them for domes-
tic life She thought that with Frances
Willard, Lucy Stone and Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer before us as examples,
no one need fear that the girl collegian
would become unwomanly, and that, as
for instruction in domestic matters. the
girl who went to college stood quite as
good a chance Of learning housekeep-
ing and child culture as the average
girl in society or business. Those who
argue against college course for wo-
men, said she, are in reality pleading
for a specialization that shall begin at a
very early period of life; yet we know
that too early specialization is particu-
larly injurious in the case Of girls.
Further on, she said that the popular
standard of wifehood and motherhood
was already 50 limited and vague that
no influence of the college would be like
ly to weaken it still further and she
called the attention of her hearers to
the fact that any woman who, from
lack Of character or intelligence, is
likely to make a failure Of non-domestic
work, is usually advised to take upon
herself the duties Of wife and mother.
Mrs. Whiting maintained that the
marriages Of college women are uni
formly happy ones, and that the disci-
pline Of the college develops in them
just the traits best adapted to giving
them control over their children.
In disproof Of the frequent criticism
that college training Injuries a girls
health, she cited figures to prove that
the health Of the worldng-girls Of Bos-
ton was two and one-half per cent lower

Wednesday evening at o'clock a
pretty home wedding took place at the
house Of Mr.. and Mrs L. d. HILL when
their daughter, Nellie S., and George c..
Clark, were united in marriage by the
Rev. George e. Sanderson of the Coral
Street Church, in the presence of 35
friends. The bridal pair stood under an
arch of palms and narcissi. The bride
wore heliotope silk, with Trimmings of
velvet and chiffon, and wore bride roses.
She was attended by Miss Alice Bunce,
who wore white, with blue ribbons and
carried white roses. Mr. Clayton Baker

Too many college graduates make the
mistake of thinking that they are
equipped for life. Is there not too great
a divorce between college life and prac-
tical life? Especially in the case of
young men, we know that they are
placed under unnatural conditions while
at college. If a student is really stu
