London, Dec 27-An organization
which promises to shake Iondon's

English as it should be spoken, has
taken form at oxford under the direc-
ton OF the Poet Laureate Robert
Bridges. aided by such masters of
English as Thomas Hardy. Or. Henry
Bradley, Sir Walter Raleigh and Pro
fessor John w. Mackail.
While the objects of the association
have not Vet been fully defined they
probably viii include the publication
OF literature. the delivery Of lectures,
attempts ultimately to influence the
teachers over The whole country To aid
in the restoration of the purity of the
language, both written and spoken.
and to resist the unnecessary incorpor-
alton of foreign words, and To encour-
age the adoption in polite speech of
crisp. terse, vigorous words from the
dialects The English that Johnson
spoke rather than the English that
johnson wrote is the object aimed at
by the association. Johnson would
have said rot but he would have
written "putrefy.'
In a tract prepared for the English
association Or. Bridges declares that

TALKS TO CHILDREN
BY VICTOR HUGO
MANUSCRIPT is FOUND WHICH
SHEDS A PRETTY SIDE LIGHT
ON GREAT CHARACTER.
CBy Associated Press Gable.


Paris, Dec. 27,--Leo Clarete has
discovered at Guernsey, where Vic
tor Hugo lived, several manuscript
copies of the speeches made by the
great French writer at the dinners for
poor children which he used to give
every fortnight about Christmas time
For each party a large Christmas tree
was prepared and ON it was a gift
for each child. Here are the notes
Hugo used for one of his addresses:
My dear little children. Among
the toys to be given you, you will find
neither guns, cannons, swords or other
murderouS weapon, or anything else
which might give you the idea of war
or destruction War is an abomn-
able thing: men of all countries are
made for loving, not for killing one
another Among the toys that ] offer
you the little girls will find dolls eX--
cellent playthings which will COM
mence to fit them for the role of
motherhood which they will play later
in their lives. For the boys there are
little boats, little locomotives and in
fact everything which will present the
idea of work and progress, and not
that of destruction, to their inteli-
gences."

TEMPERANCE CAMPAIGN
ST|RS GREAT BRITAIN
(By Associated Press Cable.)

Paris, Dec. 27.-A temperance cam
paign as exciting as that which ac
companied the introduction of the Ii
censing measure under the Lloyd
George budget is promised for the
coming session of parliament. A de-
mand for a licensing reform bill has
been issued on behalf of the United
Kingdom of Alliance by it's president,
Left Jones, M. p.
The manifesto declares that 1.-The
Introduction next year of compre
hensive temperance measure into the
house of commons would elicit such
widespread response and backing from
the most various and unaccustomed
quarters as would astonish all who
have not followed closely the solid
flying opinion on the subject during
recent years. The alliance points
out further that Mr.. Lloyd George has
said that no reform, political or So
cial, will avail in this country unless
preceded by temperance reform.
An act similar to the one demanded
by the alliance for England and Wales
was passed for Scotland at the last
session of parliament.

IN SLUMS OF PARIS
NOTED ARTIST
IS DEAD
CLOlSTERED LIKE A HERMIT
PELEz DEvoTEs HIS TALENT
TO THE POOR ABOUT HIM.
(By Associated Press Cable.)

Paris, Dec. 27.-A few days ago
there died in an obscure corner of
Montemarte curious old man.
little band of sympathetic painters
followed the humber bier to the ceme-
terry, and then, the old man having
been also a painter. a visit was made
to his dilapidated studio
There on the walls, the floor, chairs
and easels was collection of pictures
that caused cries of admiration.
Maurice Barres Leon Bonnant, Ar
mand Dayot, Jean Paul Laurens and
other eminent painters and critics were
summoned and confirmed the first
verdict. The pictures were master
pieces. Inquiries showed that the old
mans name was Ferdinand Pelez, and
remembrance dawned.
Twenty years ago Pelez, one of the
most brilliant artists of the day Che
Waller of the Legion of Honor and
member of one of the most exclusive
literary clubs, had disappeared sud
denly, no one knew why. But now
the mystery was explained. Haunted
by the misery he saw everywhere
around him in the great capital, he had
determined to devote himself to the
cause of the poorsana friendless. Since
the day he made his decision, he had
never been seen by the companions
of his prosperity. Cloistered in an old
studio high up in Montmarte, like a
hermit, he worked with all the re-
sources of his genius to perpetuate
on canvas the thousand forms of
misery which stalked through the
streets of the great town. Tramps
unfortunates. vagrants, beggars, con-
sumptives and thugs alone We're ad-
mitted into his sanctuary. For 20
years he worked out, living on next
to nothing, merciless to himself, but
always kind and helpful to others.
But the glory that he fled from will
come late but just recompense to
this painter of sorrow The Baroness
de Cholet and a few others, old pupils
of the dead master, have arranged a
posthumous exhibition of his work
and today all artistic Paris is flocking
to the PeleZ studio.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
DEMANDED BY
JAPAN
SENTIMENT is UNANIMOUS AT
LEAST FOR A BETTERMENT
OF CONDITION OF FEMALES.
CBy Associated Press Cable.) }

Toxic, Dec. 27-The constant dis
cussion in Japanese newspapers and
magazines of the questions of womens
rights and woman suffrage serves as
a striking example of the rapidity
with which western thought and west
ern ideas are being assimilated in
Japan.
Today the supporters of tire women's
rights movement are gleeful over the
fact that two women millionaires of
Toxic have won the right to vote at
municipal and ward elections. The
municipal regulations grant the right
Of suffrage to any subject of the Japa
nese empire paying a larger amount
of direct city taxes than that paid by
any of the three highest X-paying
male subjects over 25 years of age
The woman suffrage advocates con-
tended that this clause permits women
to vote if their property qualifications
We're sufficient, and the home office
upheld the contention.
An important monthly magazine has
placed a set of questions before noted
Japanese women on the future of the
queries as what can be done to i'm
prove the condition of the Japanese
women; requesting opinions as to the
suffrage movement in the west, as
we'll as the question OF social indie
pendence, and in a general way the
growing tendency of woman to demand
the same rights as man.
summary of the replies indicates
an opinion that Japan is not yet ripe
for the suffrage movement, AS the
stress of living grows keener, the
number of spinsters, the writer's say.
will increase in the east as in the
west When that time comes the
women here may with Justice claim
an enactment of the same law for
woman as for man. Mrs. Haru Hato-
wanna says; Such tendency may be
averted in Japan if women foster such
national virtues as chastity, faithful
ness, industry, thrift, patience and
Simplicity
No two opinions are expressed,
however, on the advisability or
justice of greater liberty for woman
kind in general. The time has ar
rived, all writer's agree, for con-
certed action in behalf of a dignified
and Womanly liberty.
Some women are outspoken and
others are reserved. one writes:
Small, helpless things are the Japa-
nese women of today. Before talking
of giving them the suffrage, they
should be given the right of self gov
ernment at home"
Another says; Let us not forget
that the duty of woman is to help
her husband in looking after the home
and children. The independence of
woman in the nobest sense of the
phrase is to be desired but at the
same time. the inherent spirit of self
sacrifice in woman should not be de-
stroyed"

MEXICAN MINISTER PAYS A GRA-

1By Associated Press cahleO


Paris, Dec. 27.-Francisco de La
Barra, Mexican minister in Paris,
while presiding at a meeting of the
EvreuX section of the Commercial
Geographical society a few days be-
fore he left on his special mission
to Japan. took occasion to refer to
the United States in the following
terms:
Il know the American people
have had the opportunity of studying
them very closely during the many
years | passed in America, first of all
as a student. later as a private in
dividual and then during the time
occupied the post of Mexican ambas-
sador at Washington. | know their
great qualities, l know their ten
dencies and l have had occasion to
notice their requirements. | have
also been able, by reading his works,
to take note of the mixture of ideal
ism and practical sense which con-
stitutes, the character of President
Woodrow Wilson.
My observations Senor de La
Barra continued, have led me to the
conviction that, in the final analysis
Americas relations with Mexico will
be dominated, as they should be, by
spirit of sincere justice, and by an
exact knowledge of the real interests
of America in Mexico.
Il think, therefore, that the crisis is
past and that we shall soon see the
re- esta blishment of rela tons between
these two countries on basis of
complete reciprocity and brotherly re-
gard and in conformity to the prin
ciples of international law and sound
politics."

NEW OLYMPIC RULES
DISCUSSED
ENGLlSHMEN HAVE SOME SuG-
GEsTloNS REGARDING THE
CONTESTS OF BIG MEET.
By Associated Press cable.)


Paris. Dec. 27.--ln spite of the lack
of interest in the Duke Of Westn'in-
sters olympic games fund. the liveIi-
est interest is being shown here in the
international congress, which will be
held in Paris next June to promulgatc
code of uniform regulations for the
games.
1t is understood that the English
delegation will make several impor-
tant proposals to the congress, among
the most radical being a suggestion
that women be included among the
competitors. Other matters to be
| brought before the congress will be
the question of the restriction of en-
and whether Il distinction should be
made between sports Indispensable
for the OIympiad and those which,
though not Indispensable, can be ad-
mitted
1t is believed that the delegates will
be a unit in demanding that the ma
ton where the games are being held
shall not be given an unfair advantage
by giving undue prominence to the
games in which That country excels.
The technical regulations and the
duties Of the jury in the games will
be defined by the congress with more
rigdity than under the present rules.

Mr.. Van Tyne has talked over with

would make two large volumes 1t is
quite possible that a way will be
found TO print them both in the French
