An Essay on Men,"

A little girl wrote the following
composition on men: Men are what
women marry. They drink and smoke
and swear, but don't go to church.
Perhaps if they wore bonnets they
would. They are more logical than
women and also more geological. Both
men and women sprung from mon

GERMAN WAR LORD
DEFENDS SOLDIERS

Berlin, Dec. 5.-Coming direct from
Doneaueschingen, where he conferred
with the emperor on Sunday, the Ger
man war minister, Major Gen. Erich
Won Falkenhayn, delivered a vigorous
speech in the Reichstag yesterday on
the Interpolation regarding the dis
turbed conditions at Zabern In Alsace.
His remarks were devoted to defend
ing the action Of the military at that
town where army officers on several
occasions have used strong measures
check disorders.
General Won Falkenhayn was con-
stantly interrupted by expressions of
disapproval from all parties in the
chamber with the sole exception Of the
conservatives. He followed the i'm
perial chancellor DR.. Von Bahmann-
Hollweg who vas apparently en-
deavoring to steer a middle course be-
tween the military and civilian inter-
ests. The chancellor's speech like
wise was constantly interrupted.
From the imperial chancellors re-
marks and General Won Falkenhayn's
attitude, 1T was deduced that the
emperor fully supports the conduct Of
the Zabern garrison.
Representatives of all the parties,
except the conservatives, bitterly at
tackled the action Of the military men.
The clerical, Herr Fehranberg, declar-
ed it a shame that the efforts of forty
years towards reconciliation had been
rendered of no avail.

Fear Of bringing on a revolt that

ers in the National Woman Suffrage
association to abandon efforts to have
adopted a new constitution reported by
a revision committee appointed a. year
ago. Advocates of rights for state as

accept the recommendations, and final
ly the draft was referred back to the
committee with instructions that a
compromise constitution to meet the

Tuesdays sessions were devoted al
most exclusively to discussion of the
proposed revision of the constitution.
The question was debated for six hours
