neutrality is held to give color to this

BRITAIN'S POLICY In EAST
TT rs VIGOROUSLY ATTACKED BY
VERNON HARCOURT.
He Points Out the Collapse of salisbury's
"Open Door" Policy and Says Germany
aims Expense-The Answer of Balfour.

London, April 29.-The liberal leader,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, arraign-
ed the weak policy of the Marquis of
Salisbury in the far east in the house
of commons this evening, pointing out
the collapse of his "open-door" policy
through Germany obtaining preferen-
tial privileges on the Shan Tung penin-
sula, while Great Britain had made an
undignified retreat in the Ta-Lien-W
affair. Germany and Russia, the speak
er contended, had both scored at the
expense of Great Britain.
In reply to Sir William Vernon Har-
court, Mr.. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury, government leader in the
house and acting foreign secretary. de-
MED that there had been a violation Of
the treaty of Tien-Tsin. He claimed
that throughout the length and breadth
of China Britishers had equal rights
with other nations. England, he de-
clared, took Wei-Hai-Wei for military
and diplomatic reasons and quite with
out reference to considerations of trade
and commerce. He laid stress upon the
distinction between spheres of interest
and spheres of influence. Trade and
commercial interests in the province of
Shan -Tung were not the considerations,
Mr.. Balfour, continued, which controll-
ed the government in taking Wei-Hai-
Wei.

When one sees what these deIicately-
bred and gentle-mannered women were
capable OF when the crisis came that
taxed their powers, we feel that the
average girl can be taken on trust, un-
til time and the hour shall prove her
capacity. The ways and means by
which they have been compelled to
earn living would make an interest
ing chapter in modern sociology. One
woman whom know makes a good in

distance; another supports herself and
several children by making biscuit for
the Wonans Exchange. The biscuits
are perfect of their kind, and there is
a constant demand for them. Another
dresses dolls-hundreds of them every
year-and finds an absorbing interest
in her work. The wife of the present
Governor of Georgia developed extraor-
dinary executive ability in managing
the campaign for her husband. and it
is claimed that he owed his election to
her. She is very retiring, almost shy,
woman, and the strain of the unusual
work. together with the care of her
young family, completely wrecked her
health for a time, but she proved, as
so many Southern women have done,
her ability to do the thing that she had
set herself to do.

SHAFTER CRITICIZED.
His Soldiers Declared to Be Worse
Than the Spaniards.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21-A "Sun"
cable from Santiago de Cuba says: Eel
Porvenlr," a local weekly, which has
sprung up since the Americans occu-
pied the town, published an open letter
this afternoon severely criticising Gem
eral Shafter. The paper declares that
Shafter has turned over the town, in
which he won military renown, to an
archy and pillage, and accuses the SOL
| d1ers OF the garrison Of committing
worse crimes than the Spaniards were
guilty Of. The article upbraids Shafter
for not having established civil courts
In the city, and accuse him of putting
some men in Jail for selling liquor,
while allowing others to carry on the
traffic unmolested. The paper concludes
its article by telling Shafter that the
sooner he gets out Of town the better,
but it assures him that it has had it's
say. and will not talk behind his back.

Southern Women.

A Northern woman, writing to the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican" from
Savannah, Ga, says
The young girl of the South is almost
universally pretty, and often beauti-
full. She has the clear skin, the round
ed cheek, and springing step of health.
Her eyes express a girlish pleasure in
life and a soft consciousness of her
own charms. Her mother, very likely,
belongs to a number of clubs, and is
knocking at the door of the Legisla-
ture in behalf of the. higher education
of women, but she herself is often con-
tent to finish school as soon as possible.
to marry young, and then in her turn
to write club papers, witty or thought
full, according as life has developed or
changed her point Of view.
The intellectual woman Is nowhere
more of a force than in the South. The
recent prospectus put forth by the
Atlanta Woman's Club shows an un-
usual breadth of view, and it is pre-
cisely what a careful student of the
life of the better class of women would
expect Of them. The war stimulated
spirit of large helpfulness that is
finding expression in practical ways
all over the South to-day, and that also
shows itself in the subtle and less OBJ
vious relations of a people kindly af-
fectioned one toward another" To any
one not on the alert to detect a strain
of insincerity, the gracious way that
Southern women have of saying charm
ing things to each other is irresistible.

ing unpleasantness, and never leave

Work For Ships Writers.

The ships writer's of the American
squadron at the Philippines have prob
ably had their hands full ever since
that fateful Sunday morning couple
Of weeks ago. A ships writer is an
enlisted man in bluejacket togs, and
there are two or three Of them aboard
each man-ofwar-a couple who act as
clerks for the executive officer and the
navigator's writer.
The ships writer's are as a rule
young fellows of good education, who
have gone to sea in Uncle Sans uni
form out of pure wander lust" as the
Germans call the love for rowing. Now
up forward among the bluejackets on
most American men-of-war there are
always plenty Of men who know a good
deal more about the handling Of mar
linspikes and belaying-pins than about
the manipulation Of the pen. These
men employ the ships writer's to at
tend to their correspondence for them.
The ships writer is the confidential
epistolary agent of all hands among
these men forward who have not much
of an opinion Of their own ability in
the fashioning of phrases, and he more
than spreads himself in writing letters
for his shipmates, at so much per write.
For his chummies he does the work for
nothing, but he charges small fee for
writing letters for men forward with
whom he is not particularly intimate.
He is busiest on a foreign station after
a mail from the United States has
reached his ship. All hands generally
get letter or so from home then that
must be answered, and the ships
writer's answer the epistles directed to
the men who confess themselves as Of
no account in "chawin" on paper. They
write to sweethearts, wives, mothers
and fathers, brothers and sisters. in
