 The Congress itself promises to be the most interesting in the history of the woman movement. One excellent feature of the fight that women are being compelled to make to gain the vote is the widening of the horizon of women of all nations through these international conferences and through the deep interest that suffragists are taking in the successes that are being the countries of the world This wear America will go into the Con- gress with good news of the progress that is being made in this country. The addition of Oregon, Arizona and Kansas last November, so soon after Wa shington and California had come into line and the recent conferring of the vote on the women of Alaska make a proud record for American women. Looking forward to the flu lure also prospects are bright in Iowa, New York, New Jersey and PennSyl- xania. with the possibility of an amendment to the United States Con- stit1tion in the near future that will enfranchise all the women of the United States

The first express company was or ganized by William Frederick Harn- den, who established an ''express pack age carrier service,' with himself as messenger, between New York and Boston. Gradually the business grew, and Harnden employed a, number of men in the service between different cities, while competitors sprang up ra- pidly, and express lines were establish ed in all directions. Adams & Com pany's California express, the first of the present great corporations, was founded in 1S49, and Wells, Fargo & Company entered the field three years later. The Adams, Wells, Fargo, American, Canadian, Canadian North ern, Globe, Great Northern, National. Northern Pacific, Southern, United States and Western Express compa- nles combined now operate 260, 507 miles of steam and electric roads, eteamboats and stage lines. The cap ita1 employed in the industry in the United States and Canada, is now over $50, ,o00, GOO. Tremendous \ profits have been paid to stockholders by those companies, but the parcel post is like 1y to reduce their earnings, and de- prive them of the monopoly they have so long enjoyed Incidentally. this year is the centennial of the birth of Harnden, the father of the express business.

The first English naval officer to hold the rank of admiral was William de Leybourne, who received the title of admiral of the English seas'' from Edward l. on this date in 1297. The title of admiral was used in France some years before, and the first French admiral is thought to have been appointed in 1284. The first lord high admiral in England was crea ted by Richard III. in 1885. The maine of admira1ity court was given to the trt- bunaI for the trial of causes relat- ing to maritime affairs frf 1857. The admiral of the fleet is now the high est rank in the English navy, and un- der him are adnirals, vice admirals and rear-adnaira1s. In the United States navy the highest rank, prior to the civil war was that of conno- dore. In 1862 Congress established the rank of admiral in 1864. that of vice admiral, and in 1866 that of admiral, in each case to honor David G. Farra- gut. David D. Potter was afterWard an admiral, but following his death in 1891 the grades of vice admiral and admiral were abolished, and the rank of rear-a admiral remained the highest until 1899, when the grade of admiral was again created and conferred on George Dewey.

A: bright ray of comfort will today
 enter into the lives of wealthy and
 titled EngIiehmen, long harried by the
 mounting cost of living and the exac- tions of an unsympathetic government.
 On and after today there is to be a
 reduction of one-third in the price of one of the prime necessities of life. This requisite, without which no up per class Englishman can live, or even exist is the London Times, which to- day sells for two-pence the copy, in- stead of three pence,~ the price since 1881
 The change in price is but one of
 many changes made in thegr atThund- erer, most famous of journalistic in stitutions, since 1t became the prop erty of Lord Northcliffe, who is also the owner of the London Mail, Eng lands most widely circulated daily newspaper. Outward1y the Times re- mains, the same, and it is still pom derous, careful and encyclopedia in it's treatment of news, but in spirit 1t is different. Gone, or at least going, is the spirit of intolerance and bigotry that often marred the pages of the otherwise admirable neWspa per. '.The Times is out of joint," say the old conservatives, but they, too. are pass ing The old Tory England had it's good and it's bad points. and the old Times reflected both, but the new Times Is better because less cocksure of its own angelic virtue, and because it views it's enemies in a less dark and da1nnab1e light. To the new Times even Irishmen are human, and possessed of some redeeming traits.
 President Woodrow Wilson recently remar rked, in the course of an address, that he depended upon the London Times to keep him acquainted with world news-a declaration that arous- ed the indignation of Mir. Hearst. In the field Of world news the Times has no rival, SUvith the possible excep- ton Of La Prenso, of Buenos Ayres. Few Americans, however, will share President Wilson's admiration for the Times, for it's dry as-dust presenta- ton of facts, figures and statistics does not appeal to the American tenn the virility of the articles contributed by Edward Stirling, however, that Of ''The Thunderer.''
 EditoriaIly conservative, the Times has been a pioneer in mechanical inno- vations. Next year the Times will celebrate the centenary of the intro duction of the application of steam power to it's presses. The worlds first power press, used by the Times in 1874, had the wonderful capacity of l. 200 papers per hour Stereotypes from papier1macfe mou1ds were introduced l.. the Times in 1856. The Walter press, with 8 capacity of r, GOO an hour, was brought to perfection with money

In his testimony in the governments S action Corey revealed many of the se crets of the steel trust, and told how pools had been organized to fix prices, how rivals were absorbed and crushed out, and of his quarrel with Gary and his retirement from the presidency.

Abraham Lincoln Erlanger, who has a finger in most of the theatrical pies of the United States and Canada, Is f1fty-three years old. The junior mem Der of the K1aw & Erlanger theatrical "trust'' was born in Buffalo educat- ed in the public schools of Cleveland, and worked his way up from the very bottom rung of the theatrical ladder. The Fr1anger motto has ever been, Give the public what it wants.7 On that basis, with the assistance of that shrewd lawyer, Marc Klaw, he has built up an amusement organization such as the world has never known before. He has been the general in the four-year war waged by the syndicate and the independents, the latter repre- scented by the Shuberts-a warfare that now appears to be nearing a per1na- nent peace.
