STATS FoR SHOP GIRLS WHO ARE
VOW OBLIGED TO STAND ALL DAY.


--pital has been its indifference to the
health and comfort OF wage earnins
girls and women Commissioner STAN
ley has issued an order from the Geor-
gia bureau Of commerce and labor that
these women shall have seats and thus
rest themselves from the continual
stand on their feet Perhaps 9TH
requirements. but I have failed to no
tice- such action
There Is also much to be said OF the
generosity OF merchants. and I have
noted with great pleasure the delight
full rest rooms and toilet appendages
which our large stores have for many
years provided for the comfort Of their
shop girls as well as for the general
public How the seat problem is TO ne
worked ont / am unable TO say. The
floor walker will have had another
duty added to his task in discriminat-
ing as to the length Of time the shop
girl shall occupy her allotted seat
without interfering with her service 10
customers In a busy time these girls
h3ve TO hustle to wait on impatient
people. and the seats cannot be occu-
pierd except at considerable intervals.
But the order has been issued and
the seats must be placed. and 1T is up
TO the girls to show themselves constd-
crate in this matter. The space be-
hind the counter is limited and the
seats must be showed back and for
ward. unless an end seat is found TO
be convenient and adaptable.
The progressive leagues of the
4 nfted States insist upon minimum
wage for girls and women This means
that they must not be employed with
out the wage is sufficient TO feed
them and clothe them deeently. Il Is

minimum wage will. in my opinion,
give satisfactory results and perhaTs

FL FASO, August 15-.Nu invasion Cf American soil by Mexican rebel troop. is feared by United tSates army C!f:otrs. and this, i. has b n ,earneo cn reliable authority has led to the rushing here of additional cay airy from Fort sam Houston The point considered in danger is one on the New Mexico boundary just west of Columbus. N M opposite which town more than a thousand rebels are located.
 At point hundred miles west of Fl Paso the New Mexican line turns abruptly to the south for a stretch of thirty miles, and then resumes it's course due west It is this short "cut across lots" that it is feared the rebels at Polomas will employ in making retreat into Sonora CO., incident with Orozcos evacuation of Juarez.
 The reason for the intrusion upon American soil would be that the fed erals are guarding the pass along the border to the west. and by cutting across this section of New Mexican ranch and mining country, sparsely inhabited. the rebels could evade the federal forces. enter Sonora without danger of an engagement.

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArCHl

SEATTLE, Aug. 15.-AlthOugh Al bert H. Young, law student of the University of Washington, is d sub ject of the German emperor he can not become citizen of the United States because his mother is a Japan ese. Such was the decision today of United States District Judge Cush- man who took the same view of the case as Judge Cornelius Hanford. who recently resigned and who had denied Young's application for citizenship.
 YOung's father was a German who married a Japanese woman in YokO- hama and her child was born in that city but on land under the protection of the German flag, making him a German. Young cOntended that as q German he is entitled to naturaliZa- tion in the United States but the naturaliza ation matter was resisted The application was denied under the revised statutes which provides that only aliens who are free white per sons or who are of African nativity or descent may become naturalized.
 Young maintained that he is en- titled to be classified as free white but the court ruled that his mother having been a Japanese barred him from citizenship. Young has been a resident of this state since 1905.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The col Her Justin, the state department learned today, arrived at Corinto yes terdav with $50 marines under Major Smedley Butler, who reported at once to the senior officer, Captain Terhune commanding the gunboat Annapolis Terhune has been given full authority to deal with the military situation in Nicaragua as it affects American in terests It is believed that this marine force will at once be dispatched to Managua. six hours railroad run from Corinto.
 Because of delayed cable advices the officials here can only conjecture as to what happened after the arrival of the marines in the Nicaraguan capital How this force has been used depends entirely upon the will of American Minister Weitzel, but as Terhune has protested to the rebels against the bOmbardment of Managua, filled as it is with women, children and on-combatants, it is believed that he has driven the insurgents away from their positions and stopped the bombardment
 iNiN'iN purpose. the officials feel assured that he will hold the city until reinforce ments from Panama or the bluejack- cts from the Denver, now en route to Corinto. can be placed at his disposi- ton The state department has let it he understood that it is not it's pur- pose to permit the killing of helpless women and children or the endanger- ing of Americans lives, or the seizure of American property.
 Officials are emphatic in pointing out that General Mena, the head of the revolutions has completely alien ated the sympathies of this govern ment by his conduct of the rebellion.
 Related cablegrams received by the state department from the American minister give a vivid picture of the conflict at Managua which began on Sunday morning when General Zeledon in command of the rebel forces around Managua opened fire on the city from the vicinity of Momotombo. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the insurgent officers, General Urillo and Colonel ROstran attacked the penitentiary with infantry and rapid fire guns in an attempt to liberate the prisoners. At o'clock a hundred men under the cover of artillery attempted to enter the city from the lake, were repulsed and twenty-five of these were captured. Throughout the night firing continued at intervals. On Sunday while Managua was under bOmbardment the rebels were defeated at the town of Nandaimo, General Mena's home
