A NICARAGUA CANAL
BELIEVED BY MINISTER CASTRiL-
LO THAT 1T WILL BE BUILT
BY U. ..
WOULD SHORTEN PANAMA BY2OOO Nj.
Nicaraguan Government Has APP
proved of Treaty Negotiated by
ex-President Taft-Secretary
Bryan Favors Plan.

Another great Atlantic-Pacific wa
terway, making ship route between
the eastern and western coasts of the
United States, 1000 miles shorter than
through the Panama canal, will be
built soon by the United States, is the
opinion of DR.. Salvador Castrillo, retir-
ing Nicaraguan minister. In a state
ment recently DR.. Castrillo said he
believed canal treaty would be nego-
tiated between the United States and
constructed across his country
The canal treaty, which is an inner
itance from the Taft administration,
was negotiated by Minister Weitzel
last winter and has received the ap-
proval of the Nicaraguan government
By it's terms Nicaragua, for 100000,
would grant the United States the ex-
elusive right to construct a canal
across Nicaragua by way of the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. This
government also would have a right to
acquire coaling station in the bay of
Fonseca on the Pacific side.
"Of course, the pending treaty may
be modified" said DR.. Castrillo, but
am greatly encouraged by Mr.. Bry-
ans assurance that he takes a broad
view of the subject after careful ex-
animation of the provisions of the pro-
posed rotue.
After all, the Panama is of military
and strategic Importance, but when it
is realized that a Nicaraguan canal
would shorten the route to the Pacific
coast by an additional 1000 miles / am
convinced that it will be built

WOMEN'S DRESS BLAMED
FOR ALL THE TROUBLE
Or. Mary Walker Says Men Are Not
to Blame That Girls Go Wronu


to Blame That Girls Go Wrong.
THE widespread immC -ality among
mer and women, boys and girls, the
horrible menace social disease, the
physical weakness of nearly all women
and the blindness, curvature of the
spine, club feet, tuberculosis, rupture,
infantile paralysis and other ills from
which so many children suffer, are all
directly traceable to one thing-the
immoral, unhealthful and ridiculous
style of women's dress"
That is what the most famous advo-
cate in womens dress-Dr. Mary
Walker-said, when asked her opinion
of the low-necked, short-sleeved, tight
skirted, petticoatless costume of 1913.
1t is no new theory with her. She
has been advocating it for little mat
ter of 55 years, having donned trousers
herself at the age of IS, worn them
constantly and preached for male at
tire for women in season and out of
season ever since. Now, at the age of
70, still going about the world in mems
trousers, frock coat, silk hat, standing
linen collar, cravat and mems shoes,
she is more positive than ever that the
solution of nine-tenths of society
troubles is for women to dress like
men.

PLANS FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY
National Committee to Meet Soon
After Congress Adjourns.

Washington.-Leaders of the repub-
committee of the national committee
from twelve states-gathered here Sat
urday and laid preliminary plans for
the congressional campaign of 1914
and the national political battle of two
years later.
AS a result the republican national
committee will meet 60 days after the
adjournment of the extra session of
congress and an extraordinary repub-
lican national convention Is expected
not later than year hence.
Changes in the basis of representa-
ton in national conventions, and re-
form of methods or party procedure,
which have been subject to criticism,
will be disposed of through these agen-
cies. Close cooperation between the
national committee and the congress
sional campaign committee was agreed
upon.
The conference was the first formal
meeting of republican leaders since
the 1912 campaign. 1t was harmonious
from the time Chairman Charles D.
Hilles of the national committee called
for order until the last motion was
adopted.
The need for reform within the party
was not denied. The suggestion OF the
progressive element for national
convention in the near future was
heard and sentiment was practically
unanimous that such a convention
should be held.
