fTeaIoentS PtanS FOR the lmme-
diate 5lockadig and Seizure of
Mexican Ports Temporarily Held
up-Sharp Debate In House On
Original Resolution.
Washington, April 21.--The presi-
dents plans for the immediate block
aiding and seizure OF Mexican gulf
ports have been held up and the
Washington administration greatly
embarrassed as the result of strong
opposition in congress to the resolu-
tion in support of the presidents pro-
gram.
The house, after a long wrangle in
which the presidents move against
Provisional President Huerta was
bitterly attacked, voted 337 to 81
that the president is justified in the
employment OF armed force against
Huerta.
The resolution adopted by the
house reads as follows:
Resolved, by the senate and house
of Representatives in congress assem-.
bled that the president of the United
States is justified in the employment
of armed forces of the United States
of America TO enforce demands made
upon Victoriano Huerta for uneQuiv-
cal amends to the government of the
tiles committed against this govern
ment by General Huerta and his rep
Tesentatives."
At an early hour today the senate
recessed without taking any action
On the resolution. Bitter opposition
In the senate committee ON foreign
relations made il apparent that the
resolution favored by the president
could not be reported fayorably
After the administration had used
every effort to swing the committee
into line and had failed, substitute
resolution was unanimously reported
to the senate, reading as follows:
Whereas. in view Of the fact pre-
scented by the president of the United
States in his address delivered to the
congress at the joint session on the
20th day OF April, 1914, with regard
to certain affronts and indignities
committed against the United States
in Mexico;
Resolved, that the president is
justified in the employment of the
armed forces of the United States to
enforce mis- demand for unequivocal
amends for affronts and indignities
committed against the United States,
Re It further resolved, that the
United States disclaims any hostility
TO the Mexican people or any purpose
to make war on them"
Objection was made to the immedi-
| ste consideration of this resolution
| BY Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island,
and the senate finally consented to
secess until this afternoon, when the
substitute probably will be passed.
The administration has accepted the
inevitable and given its consent TO
the substitute resolution. Senators
objected to the individualizing of Hu.
erta.

Professor Hayward Ad-
dresses Agricultural Club

The main feature of the last
meeting Of the Agricultural Club
OF Delaware College held on Thurs
day evening, December II, was an
address by Professor HAYWARD
He first dwelt upon the value to the
students Of active work in the Ag-
ricultural Club, and, secondly
gave an interesting account of his
visit to the Convention of Exten-
sion Workers held recently in Chi
cagO. To convince the members of
the benefit to be derived from work
IN the Club he traced briefly his
undergraduate experience in a sim
liar club and asserted that he de-
rived more actual training from
such work than he did from the
study of any two of his required
collegiate subjects. He also con-
glatulated the Agricultural Club
upon the work which it is doing
and urged all the Agricultural stu.
dents to take an active part in the
meetings and in the other activi-
ties Of the Club. In regard TO the

Engineering Notes

On Monday morning. December
q. Mr.. Lucas Of the Westinghouse
Company. lectured before the SEN
ior Engineering Glass upon the
subject Of watt-meters and watt
meter testing. He spoke first. in
general. about the various types of
instruments and the methods Of
connecting these instruments now
in use. He spoke Of the new re-
cording type Of instruments and
pointed out the advantages Of this
type over the indicating type. He
next took up the particular sub
ject of wattmeters and watt-hour
meters. In connection with this
part Of his talk. Mr.. Lucas took
apart and explained the construc-
ton Of Westinghouse wattmeter.
He then explained the methods
adopted by the various companies
to keep the meters accurate. These
meters are tested at regular per-
iods by trained men and records of
the tests are kept on file by the
electric companies. The consumer
is also protected by the different
municipal and state boards, such
as the Public Utilities Bureau of
Pennsylvania. This Bureau issues
regulations covering installation.
accuracy and testing Of the watt
meters and require the companies
to live up to these agreements. He
said, further. that in Pennsylvania
while the Public Utilities Bureau
ordered an instrument reading ac-
curately to 96 per cent, the various
manufacturing companies guaran-
tee their instruments to read ac-
curately within 2 1-2 per cent. Mr..
Lucas closed his talk with a short
description Of the new type C. nit
rogen lamp that has just been mar
keted by the Westinghouse Com
pany. He gave a brief outline of
the method of manufacture of this
lamp and told what he thought
would be the future place for this
lamp in the art Of illumination.

spoke on THE Useless Courses.
Mr. Preston first defined the useless
courses as those which do not seem
to be correlated to the special work

the point Of view Of some students
every study in the curriculum is q
useless study. The arts and
science man, perhaps, sees no rea-
son why he should study survey
ing; the student in chemistry has
no use for mathematics beyond
arithmetic; the mechanical engi-
neer abhors chemistry because ne

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

In our own beloved courty,
And lands across the sea,
Tho sorrow dwell in many homes
Where gladness used to be,
Each one, this Yule-tide, still
abides
Beneath the Holy Star,
And Christmas will be Christmas

Wherever children are.

Women's Suffrage Notes

women 0OII rage lNOtCo
Edited by Mrs. Francis l. Du
POnt.)
A Delaware woman has received
the following letter from promi-
nent newspaper man in Washing
ton. testifying to the result Of suf-
frage in that State.
Woman suffrage has worked
smoothly and satisfactorily. Won
en- have made satisfactory jurors.
They have served in the Legisla-
ture with honor. The state super
intendent Of public instruction is
woman. An increasing number Of
women are holding county offices.
especially those Of auditor, treasur-
er and superintendent Of schools.
The woman officials are invariably
competent. The secretary of state
says that women make their reports
to him from the county offices much
more promptly than men do.
ITO ask me my opinion about
woman suffrage is ike asking me
to give my views on free schools or
free speech. There is no argument
against woman suffrage. Wherever
adopted. woman suffrage has done
good. Seattle was. in the summer
Of 1910. the wickedest town in the
United States. The women changed
all that in a year. Seattle is now
one Of the best governed cities in
the United States. Women take the
liveliest interest in their city gov
ernment. Interest in civics has
created new bond between men
and women. Some women here
have developed great political skill
and insight. Their work is always
for good government.
II refuse to make an argument
for woman suffrage; | should be
belittling myself, like a man argu-
ing in favor of monogamy or So
briefly"
Women have been voting in the
state Of Washington for four years,
and according to the above testi-
mOny has proven a success.
California polled the heavist vote
Of its history according to the Off
cial returns which were recently
announced. Out of registration
Of 1,219, ,345, total vote of 96l, ,647
or 79 per cent was polled.
The election swept away, not
only any arguments that women
would not vote, but that they would
not vote for measures Of public
welfare. It is to them that the now
assured success of the red-light in
junction and abatement amend
ment is accredited. This measure
is the most effective means of rid
ding cities Of commercialized vice.
After women had pushed the bill
through the Legislature it was
held up for referendum by the vic
ious interests. Shortly before the
election these same interests, in an
election that is claimed to have
been fraudulent, secured the recall
Of Senator Grant, its author, in
San Francisco. The California
Women's Bulletin says:
"The recall of Grant acted like
an electric shock to the women Of
California. They clenched their
teeth and went forth to clean up
the State
This year every candidate for
Governor Of Massachusetts was
believer in votes for women. The
anti-suffragists are now claiming
that Mr.. McCall's attitude on this
question helped to defeat him.
There would be just as much rea-
son for claiming that Gov. Walsh s
attitude helped to elect him. As a
matter of fact, this year everybody
in Massachusetts who wanted to
vote for Governor at all had to
vote for a suffragist or take to the
woods.
The suffrage question did not
enter into the gubernatorial con-

The boat will be operated by the
