ment TO the advertisement Of an auc-
ton sale Of real estate and building
lots at Newark, in which il was stated
that no sales would be made to negroes

The embassy said that the advertise
ment had caused excitement among
Italians and that il was liable to give
rise 10 further i'll feeling and resent
ment. and might lead to further gather
ings and to disorders.
The state Department requested inc
Governor to take the matter up WIN
the Newark authorities to learn IL
something could not he done TO avoid
the creation Of i'll feeling.
Governor Fielder was in communlca-
ton with Mayor Haussling shorty

in the complaint, as there was nothing
Of the kind in or around Newark.
Further investigation showed there had
been such a sale and such terms used
in an advertisement of sale OF lots in
Union County. The Governor will take
the matter up with the county officials.

TELLS OF MILITANCY
MRS. PANKHuRST ADDRESSES
CHICAGO AUDIENCE.
Noted Suffragette Explains Why the
Women Of England Demand
the Ballot.

Chicago, Nov. before an audi
ence of more than three thousand
persons at the Auditorium Mrs. En-
incline Pankhurst, militant extraordi-
nary of the British woman suffragists,
told the people of Chicago why the
women of England want the ballot
and gave her justification of their
harsh methods.
In her opening sentences Mrs. Pank
hurst declared that the most potent
cause Of the fight being waged by Eng
lish women was the wrong inflicted
on women and children under the
English laws. She made particular
reference to the inadequacy of the
British statutes against the white
slave traffic.
I'm previous battles for the cause
Of humanity women have been the
auxiliaries only" she said. "Now in
England they are fighting not as aux
iliaries, but as the leaders in civil
war in behalf of women and chill
dren. The men who are in the fight
either are our enemies or are the
mere auxiliaries, as women have been
before.
ut takes some of the bitterness
from our fight to have some Of the
men on our side. Some of them have
even shared our Imprisonment and the
torture that has been revived in the
twentieth century for our special ben
eft.
I'm the last century consumption
was the great scourge of the world,
the great white plague Now all of a
sudden all over the world medical men
of worldwide renown are telling us
Of worse disease, or, rather, group
Of diseases, the effect of which is
more far-reaching than consumption
ever was.
when I was tried for conspiracy
year ago the jury found me guilty,
but recommended me to the mercy of
the court. The judges idea of mercy
was to sentence me to nine months
in Jail. At the same session of court
man. policeman, was put on trial
charged with an attack on a six
months-old baby and with corrupting
her little brother. He was found
guilty, and he got the same sentence
that I did, nine months in Jail, except
that his time was shortened to six
months for good behavior in prison,
and he was turned loose to prey on
other helpless children, instead Of be-
ing confined in an insane asylum,
where he belonged, and where such
men as he will be put when the WON,

ASKS ARMY OF $4,000
PROPOSITION FOR MOBILE FORCE
OF $4,000 PUT UP TO GARRISON.
$4,000 infantry, 1900 Cavalry, $500
Field Artillery, is Part OF
Plan.

Washington, Nov. Am army of
$4,000 men is what the infantry arm
Of the service has asked Of the secre-
tary of war. The necessity for this
increase is set forth in detail by the
Infantry Journal, which says that this
would permit the formation within the
United States of a mobile army of
three infantry divisions Of twenty
seven regiments and seven regiments
Of field artillery
This increase also contemplates in
creasing the number of men in the
infantry companies from 65 to 100
On the basis of the proposed in
crease the mobile army, exclusive of
the coast artillery and troops serving
beyond seas, would consist of $4,000
infantry, 10000 cavalry, 5,4OO field
artillery, 1900 auxiliary troops, total
of $4,000 men, or an enlisted man to
every LOO population. 1t shows that
the strength of mobile armies in other
countries compared to the population
is as follows: Great Britain, 1 to
every 205; Germany, 1 to every 70;
France, 1 to every so; Russia, to
every 100; Japan, 1 to every 100.
Would a mobile army in the United
States of $4,000 men in the time of
peace be considered, in any sense, a
large standing army?" asked the jour-
nal Prior to the Spanish-American
war we maintained an army Of $4,000
men consisting of twenty-five regi.
ments of infantry, ten of cavalry and
seven Of coast artillery. Of these the
mobile army consisted of about 10000
men. The outbreak # the war with
Spain found this force so badly organ.
lied and numerically SO weak as to be
ineffective, and as a consequence in
April, just before the declaration of
war, legislation was hastily enacted
by congress to reorganize and increase
it.
THE authorized strength of the mo-
bile army today is 53,708 men. Of this
number about $1,000 are stationed out
side of the United States, leaving
about $4,000 available for defense or
offense.",
