to the Arctic.
The authority of Stefansson as
leader of the expedition was disput-
ed. The chief source Of quarrel was
the question of supplies. The Kar-
LUX was not provisioned as she would
have been had she been on a yacht
ing cruise, but was equipped accord
ing to the views Of Stefansson, who
believes that when man goes to
the North he should live as the ma
tives do and get his food with his
gun.
Didn't Like .Blubber.
Certain members OF the party did
not relish blubber food, and Stefans-
! sons orders were disregarded, with

left the ship on September 20 with
three men and three Esquimauxst to
hunt. Heavy gales sprang up on
September %, and on September "a
when the fog lifted, the Karluk had
disappeared.
No one here believed that Captain
Bartlett, who was in charge of the
ship would deliberately leave Stcfans-
son. but the course of the ship would
be determined by the council, and
whatever the council decided the
skipper of the vessel would have to
carry out.
II is said that members of the
council were unfriendy to Stefans-
son and it is possible, as belief in
some quarters has it, that finding the
ship driven off shore by the gale
which sprang up, no great effort was
made tofFetuTn for Stefansson.
No Ship for Five Weeks.
At any rate Stefansson wrote his
despatch to Ottawa October 80, SO
that for over five weeks he had seen
nothing Of the ship, or the twenty

1t is regarded as extraordinary
that nothing has been seen Of them,

RELIGION VS.. SCIENCE
In SEX HYGIENE DISPUTE
Educators and Churchmen Have 0p-
posite Views as to Proper
Teaching for Young.

Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. H.-SeX hygiene de
veloped a controversy on religion versus
science at the Fourth International Con
gress on School Hygiene today. DR.
Charles W. Eliot, Mrs. Ella Flags
Young. and physicians from the world
over stood by scientific teachings as the
solution. The Rev. Richard J. Tierney
S. j., of Woodstock College and many
Catholic laymen were for religion.
Public opinion has been moved by
the many signs of physical deteriorta-
ton from the rush OF city life, the fac
tory system and from alcoholism and
sexual vices" said DIR. Eliot, who today
was elected president Of the American
Federation for Sex Hygiene.
The dissemination OF information OF
sex hygiene through the schools and
other agencies such as the church and
social organizations is what is necessary
TO better this condition and the race
Religion alone will be Of lasting beneht
in this campaign" replied Father Tierney
God, not hygiene, is the supreme need
of the hour. Eliminate the details of sex
hygiene; teach boys that their bodies are
vessels of honor, the habitation OF a soul
made in the image of God
by objecting to religion in the
schools" said Mrs. Young, the church
makes 1t impossible to bring religion into
hygiene lessons. Aside from the home,
the schools are the proper and logical
place in which to teach this social pur-
ity.' Secular ideals are necessary

LONDON NEWSPAPERS
ON MEXICAN MESSAGE
Something New in Diplomacy Heads
Daily Mails Comment-0thers'
Opinions Vary.

London, Aug. H.-Lo adon dailies show
divergence of opinion in their COM
ments on President Wilson's message 10
Congress on the Mexican situation
The Daily Mail, under the caption,
Something New in Diplomacy" says:
1T is clear from the message on the
Mexican situation which President VIII
son read 20 Congress yesterday that
what the United States government most
needs is policy. What may be called the
unattached boldness of the principal
clause in the message is thing at
which the imagination boggles. The
message should be quite popular in Mex
leo. The United States Cabinet will not
itself intervene to restore order, nor Will
it extend any official recognition TO Gen.
Huerta as President OF Mexico
The Daily News says: "If only Euro
pean powers do not stiffen Huerta's back,
President Wilson's policy will prove
judicious and prudent"
The Daily Express iE an editorial re-
marks:
President Wilson's urgent warning To
American citizens residen: in Mexico to
leave that country Immediately Is Iroot
enough of the seriousness of the situa-
ton. Such warnings are not spoken un-
less there is immediate danger OF war.
II is plain that Washington means bust
ness. President Wilson has shown wise
craftsmanship in handling a difficult and
dangerous situation. More power to his

Imported husbands have been all the
rage, in those American circles which are
able to afford them. for some years.
An imported husband is the most styl-
ish thing that can be roped in with
marriage license He costs all the way
from a million dollars up, and usually
doesn't last long at that. II a really
fiossy imported husband wears Tor nve
years. he is doing well indeed. and the
friends Of the purchaser remark in COM
plimentary terms upon her powers Of en-
durance.
Imported husbands usually come as in
cumbrances on titles. 1t is impossible TO
get a title in this country without hus-
band attached, which makes II very aNk-
ward for those fortunate young ladies
who have everything else but title. II
titles without husbands were put on the
market in this country, they would have
an enormous sale, and the astute coun-
try which went into the business would
be able to take a lar e slice on or It's
national debt.
Imported husbands come over free OF
duty and return the same way. In fact,
duty and titled husbands are usually
strangers. and continue so until the d.
vorce court gets in its work.
Imported husbands would not be so bad
IL they could be kept in this country
where the fathers-in-law could occasion
ally get at them with a club. Unfor-
tunately, after an American girl has inn
ported a husband she has to go back TO
Europe with him. The worst thing about
imported husbands in this country is eX-
ported wives.
/ Europe is pretty well sprinkled with
American wives who accompanied their
purchases back to the old country and

A New Dried Fruit.

Prom the Savannah Morning News.
If only we knew how to make use of
the vast quantity of what now is con-
sidered waste matter the cost of living
would be struck staggering blow. For
long time growers have been accus-
toned to leave in their fields or dump TO
one side a large number of small cante-
loupes unfit for the market and regarded
as of little value. But recently a Cali
fornia grower discovered that the fruit
may be dried. and that it tastes better
after it is dried than before. Hence he
intends to put a new dried fruit on the
market. Small ones may be used in that
way. The canteloupe is already a IA
vorite, but the market is sometimes too
full of the fruit 1t is perishable, and
the profit in it for growers is uncertain.
But if it may be dried and is very palat-
able in that form, canteloupes may be
sure hereafter to bring in a fair profit
throughout the season, no matter how
big the crop is.
The Washington herald., 1913-08-28
Public Money Well Spent.

Grave engineering problems have
been successfully solved in getting the
water in the main channel on the Cali
fornia side of the Colorado River
across to the Arizona side. This in
volved the construction of an 500
foot tunnel, carrying the water sixty
feet below the bed of the river. Now
that the work has been completed,
farmers from all parts of the country
are buying the irrigable land, and
eventually these sales will reimburse
the Treasury for the original outlay.
1t has cost 100000 to bottle UP
the water of the Colorado River for
irrigation purposes. but the money has
been well spent. About $4,000 acres of
dry waste land in the vicinity of Yuma,
in Arizona, will be turned from bar
renness into watered area of fertility,
capable of producing corn, cotton, cat
tie, or whatever else may be grown
under sub-tropical conditions. Orange
culture most likely. will be one of the
leading industries. A great tract of
country covered with sand dunes and
sage-brush along the old Santa Fe
Trail soon will be made to blossom
the year round.
OF all the irrigation schemes under
taken with the aid of the Federal gov
ernment, the Arizona venture seems to
promise the most satisfactory return.
Public money seldom has been ex-
pended TO better promise of continu-
ing benefcent- results.

AMERICAN CONCERN is
FORCED TO MAKE CANNON
FOR THE REBEL LEADERS

President Wilson's announcement that
the United States holds TO a definite
reckoning all persons assuming to exer-
else authority who are responsible for
losses and suffering to Americans bids
fair TO be brought TO an early test.
The State Department announced yes
terday afternoon that the American
Smelling and Refining Company had been
forced by rebel leaders to manufacture
cannon in their shops at Nelardena. This
plainly constitutes a violation of Ameri-
can rights.
Details of the occurrence have not
been received. The barest statement of
II was received from the American con-
sui at Durango.
Official Washington will watch with in
terest for the steps to be taken by the
United States in holding these rebels to
a definite reckoning"
These statements on Mexican conditions
were made at the department yesterday:
American consul at Durango reports
that Gen. Carranza and staff left yester-
day for the State of Sonora to confer
with revolutionary leaders. bug it is ex-
pected that he will return to Durango to
make that city the revolutionary capital
THE Department has been informed

sercms and medical supplies procurab BILE
with which to combat the threatened
epidemic of typhoid. diphtheria, scarlet
fever, and smallpox at that place. He is
equipped with the necessary documents
for Identification. and 1t is believed that
he will have no difficulty in reaching
Torreon.

ported destruction of the Hearst estate
