BRYAN Agrees With Wilson

Des Moines. la, March 20.-Secretary
of State Bryan. tonight said he was en-
tirely in sympathy with President Will
son in the latters attitude on the pro-
posed Chinese loan. He declared also
he was unable to agree with what former
Assistant Secretary Huntington Wilson
had to say concerning the six poweR
agree agreement.
II cannot. of course, agree with the
former Assistant Secretary said Mr..
Bryan in what he says concerning the
six power agreement. The representa-
tiyes of group of bankers were heard
ana the matter was considered by the
President The principles involved were
such that did not require any great length
of time for the President to understand
to act upon them.
"The assistant secretary handed In his
resignation when President Wilson took
the oath of office and expected to sail
for Europe last Tuesday. Having to
leave the city for a few days | asked
him to delay his departure until l re-
turned. This he consented to do, but he
seems to have felt that the change of
policy prevented his remaining.
He looked at the Chinese Ioan PROPOSE

tary Knox did. i have no doubt that In

One woman wrote:
Il am representing thousands upon
thousands of unfortunate girls that are
without homes; some are working for
starvation wages; some are selling their
souls to keepsoff starvation and cold.
These women are much like other wom-
en- where all grades are to be found IN
their ranks, some good, some bad and
others very bad. My experience is that
the o31cast women of society have
code of morals and are honest In the
majority. The better half would be
SURPRISED to know of the self-sacrifices
that many of these women make for
those that are dependent upon them for
sustenance and almost every girl has
one or more dependent upon her for
support.
Girls With Royal Blood

IF we were protected by the city in
