SHOULD EXCHANGE CHILDREN
German Professor Urges Exchange Of
Children Between Germany and
United states.

A German professor, speaking in
this country, has proposed that there
should be an exchange Of children
between Germany and the United
States. We were now exchanging
professors between the universities,
he said, and the work for a better
mutual understanding Of each
other could be extended immensely
by German and American parents
exchanging their children during a
part Of their school years. This Gus
tom has been in fashion between
England and Germany and between
England and France for many
years, and it has worked out salts
factorily. One can easily see how
between countries so near together
as those il would be In some cases On
advantage for the children Of one
nation to become acquainted with
the language, life and customs Of
another by means of a residence
away from home. This particularly
would be the case of young men who
expected to engage in business. 1t
would, however, take considerable
courage for American parents to
part with their children in order to
A~e them reside even for a short
period with strangers in an alien
land, and it is doubted if many
would consider the sacrifice justified
by the probable advantage of'such
soiourn.

London, Feb. 22.-The government
bill to abolish the veto power of the
house of lords. which. If the govern
ment is able to pass it as 1t stands.
promises to accomplish a historical
change in the parliamentary system
of Great Britain. was introduced in
the house of commons by Premier AS
quith.
No one processes to see the out
come of the constitutional battle. IL
the liberals have any thought of a
compromise they are keeping their in
tentions to themselves and the great
est controversy known in this country
for several generations began with
both sides apparently determined not
to yield except to superior force.
A full house faced Mr.. Asquith when
he rose to make the customary ex-
planatory statement on the introduce
ton of measure of such moment.
Tickets for seats in the public gal
leries had been exhausted weeks ago
and the diplomatic and peers bal
comics were thronged with interested
ones.
The premier lost no time in let
ting the opposition know that he felt
the country was behind him and
therefore did not hesitate to reintro-
duce the bill without the changing of
a word in the form in which it had
its first reading last year. The meas

electorate at the recent elections and
had been Endorsed by, the return of

Mr.. Asquith declared that when the
lords rejected the budget of 1909 they
committed political suicide. History
would say that it was the most stu
pendous act of political blindness ever
perpetrated.
Hereditary in origin, irresponsible
in the exercise Of its powers. and over
whelmingly partisan in its actual COM
position-that was the body to which
the law intrusted the right to delay
and check the considered decisions
of elected representatives of the peo-
pie, Mr.. Asquith declared.

GIRL FREEZES TO DEATH
Body Found With Frozen Hands
Still Clinging to Ice.
After Struggling Forty Rods, Young
Woman. Breaks Through Ice
and Perishes.

Meadville, Pa, Feb. 22-Her frozen
hands still clinging to the ice and the
balance of her body entirely sub
merged, the body of Miss Bessie Mar
garet Pierce, 10, one of the leading
young women of Cochranton, was
found in swale near her home,
where she had miserably persisted.
Miss Pierce had started out for a
walk, and her course led her about
two miles up French Creek to a point
where the family had spent several
weeks in camp last summer. Search
was made for Miss Pierce at night,
but 1t was not until morning that her
trail in the snow was intelligently
picked up and followed.
The girl had started to return home
across a field that had been recently
overfowed with water. the water be-
ing left in pools, which had frozen
over. On the way she had taken a
short cut through plot of thin brush
and the trail showed that she had
broken through the ice where the
water was shallow several times.
There were signs of the struggle for
as much as forty rods, where the girl
had stumbled and pulled herself up by
some friendly bush, until at last, ex.
hausted, she broke through where the
water was about two feet deep and
there persisted. The broken ice
showed that Miss Pierce had made a
brave fight. There were splotches of
blood on the ice, and her frozen hands
were cut and bruised and covered
with blood -"
When at last she gave up the strug-
gle, exhausted, her hands remained
clinging to the top of the ice, but her
head sank with her body under the
water Only the small, stiffened hands
were visible, and about the wrists new
ice had formed, filling the hole and
covering the body.
Miss Pierce was a daughter of L.
c. Pierce, commercial traveller.
