Cleveland Still
ParalyZed by Snow.

tLEN ELAND, OHIO, NOV. IL
This city is recovering from the
worst blizzard that ever held Cleve-
and in It's grasp, to face the menace
of food and fever.
Communication by rail and wire is
gradually being restored. Famine
which began to be felt yesterday be-
cause of the complete isolation Of
,hc city from outside sources of food
supply were partially alleviated to-
uay when a few trains began to
reach the city.
Snow Is piled many feet deep ev-
frywhere. Warmer weather and rain
are forecast. Should a downpour
come Cleveland would find itself in
the throes of the worst food in its
history.
The water supply Is in an unpre-
.rdentedly dangerous condition.
Cleveland draws as service from Lake
Erie and has no filtration system.
The storm has made the water so
Ourbid and muddy, and has so be-
rtuled il with sewage, which the city
-mpties into the lake, that it Is I'M
l~.nkable. Yet thousands af families
nave no means of obtaining other
thinking water, and pestilence threat
aas
schools will not be reopened until
aeNJ week. Telephone service is still
lu chaos and can not be fully re-
stored for many weeks.
The collapse of buildings and live
wires have already caused the death
Of FIVE persons. Dozens Of others
nave been injured.
The suffering among the poor has
BEEN frightful. Calls for aid upon
charitable organizations have exceed
s1 all former records.
n is impossible to bury the city's
dead because the streets are so block
ed with snow that carriages can not
operate and cemeteries are so i'm
yanetrable that graves can not be
dug.
The danger from fire is threaten
l5 but so far the city has escaped
auv serious confiagrations. The fire

ouried many feet under snowdrifts
and Are apparatus can not penetrate

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Presi-

to bring the Huerta and Carranza
factions together in Mexico and to
hnd' man satisfactory to both ele-
ments for provisional President, ac-
cording to a report current in ad-
mlnlstration circles to-day. It is be-
neYed that William Bayard Hale has
presented list Of names to General
Carranza a NOgales and that John
Limo is sounding out the Auerta re-

Secretary Of State BRYAN refused
this Afternoon to discuss the Paris re-
port that the United States mas re-
quested France to demand the resig-
nation of Huerta.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the United States warships at Vera

ment that the battleship Louisiana
will remain at Tuxpan to await the
outcome of the battle there, although
all Americans have been taken out OF
danger He also reported that the
Michigan has sailed for Tampico.
Wilson will issue a statement
within a fortnight making clear the
exact purposes of this Government in
the present Mexican crisis. according
to the accepted belief in official cir
cles day.
It is known the President has been
urged to give to the House an out
line of his policies before November
20, when the new Mexican Congress
will meet. 1t is argued the pubiica-
ton Of such q statement directly be-
fore the converting of the Congress

latter would have on the situation Ii

luton, the British consul general at
Shanghai proceeded to Anking on a Brit
ish cruiser and behind the guns of the
warship demanded preparation for the
destruction of Indian opium seized by the
Tutuh, or governor of Anhui The Tutuh
had presided over the burning of the
opium in the public square of Anking,

II is noteworthy as manifesting the new
spirit of assertion shown by the Chinese
officials, that the Tutuh told the British
official to take his warship and his APP

To their credit be 1t said. the purely
British houses have withdra Nn from this
abominable trade, which is almost en-

Bombay Parsees.
The opium merchants, gambling on the
possibility that China might fail in her
prohibition campaign, have continued to
import the maximum number of chests
permitted to leave India under the 1911
opium agreement. Faced with the proS-
pect of unprecedented losses, they are
now striving might and main TO force

The more license we give to our
selves, the more we seem to need"

This is especially true of women.
Some women get the divorce habit
because they are unwilling to suffer

not be allowed to marry"
Mis- lordship is rot opposed TO di-
yorce as general principle and he
is in favor of the equaliza tion of the
British divorce laws. But" he says.
while it is certain that provision
should be made to unmake marriag ges
which prove abomnations rather than
Inc ideal union of man and woman,
the law and society should be pro-
tected against the marriage of the
unfit. This can be done and 1t will
