WOMEN INTERESTED

Public education would be greatly
benefited by extending the franchise
to women, according to DIR. j. A. &.
Chandler, superintendent of Rich
mond public schools. who delivered an
address before the Equal Suffrage
League of Richmond yesterday after
noon. He said that women were much
more interested in educational mat
ter than men, and that IL women had
the right to vote and all want to the
polls it would help matters il the
schools. He strongly advocated the
appointment of two or three women
on every school board.
DR.. Chandler claimed that women
were being Disseminated against and
that the great mass of citizens entire
ly overlooked their rights to the same
educational facilities afforded men.
He deplored the fact that a high
school education was all that Virginia
gave her daughters. Speaking of the
effect of this lack of education among
women. he said,
Compulsory Education.
las rule men in the teaching pro-
fession have had a broader academic
education than women in that profess
sion. No man ever starts on as low
a salary in school work as women do.
But just as long az the greater num-
Der of women are willing to 20 to
work before they have been properly
prepared they will have to take
small salary for doing it. Equal pay
can only come with equal education
and training. We have some women
in our schools who have had. college
training, but most of them have re-
ceived it in either States"
DR.. Chandler spoke strongly on the
need for a compulsory education law
and favored the establishment; of yoca-
tional training. He commended the
laws in other State that make the en-
ployment of children between the ages
Of fourteen and sixteen who have not
been graduated from the public
schools conditional upon their attend
ing a continuation school for five

The row which Speaker Clark has

Declares Violation of Faith.
The rules limiting debate on the re-
peal bill. and erecting bar against
amendments. came up in the house late
this afternoon for debate. 1t is gen
orally considered that the toll rule
is one of the most drastic regulations
OF the kind devised In recent years.
Democratic critics contend that Uncle
Joe Cannon In his palmiest days never
prepared anything more effective.
Representative Henry. chairman OF
the rules committee, in presenting the
rule, opened the debate on the tolls
question for the administration. He
contended that there was n reason
free tolls repeal. and declared that the
United States was today not emily
violating faith in this manner. but
Furthermore, was facing a crisis.
What is that great crisis?' de-
manded Representative Cooper, OF
Wisconsin.
Il decline to be interrupted" snap
ped Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Henrys strongest argument was
that the free tolls was not OF neces-
sity a Democratic principle.
"Humiliating Surrender"
Representative Campbell. of Kan
sas. who followed Mr. Henry. char
acterizeta the projected repeal as
humiliating surrender to Great
Britain, for which the administration
could offer no apology except that
of President Wilson when he advocat-
ed in his public address TO congress to
surrender-risht or wrong"
One line of Mr.. Campbells speech
brought forth enthusiastic applause
from the free tolls member. 1t was
when he said:
THE stu ,tion today Is ve-y differ
ent from what it was one hundred
yes RS ago. Then that noble bird, the
American eagle, lined his nest with
the remnants OF the tawny name Of
the British ion. Today 1t would
seem, when the British lion only
growls. the American eagle takes
flight"
Representative Pou. OF North Caro-
lima, told his colleagues that Dem
ccrats should find no excuse for par
dishonesty, because In the hurry OF
a Democratic convention we had put
something into the platform that said
something else"
Minority Leader Mann OF Illinois,
sneered at the protestations on the
part Of the Democrats. charging that
the only horCr now at stake was the
proverbial British nonar. which was
always at stake when Grea. Britain
found herself confronted with tho pos-
sibility of being unable to drive a hard
bargain. He charged that the British
sentiment against the free toll provis-
ion of the Adamson law was wholly
selfish in character.

Impossible In Germany.
BERLIN, March 26.--The majority OF
the German press continues TO main
tain considerable reserve towards tho
crisis in that country over the action
OF the army officers in the Ulster af
fair This is in sharp contrast TO the
action of the English newspapers at
the time of the Zabern affair when they
printed numerous comments on the
clash between the civil and military
authorities in Alsace Lorraine,
Several of the leading German edi-
tors explained today that they had
taken this course because they were
unwilling to bring renewed discord in
the relations between Germany and
Great Britain which are more cordial
just now than they have been for many
years.
The general tenor OF the press and
general comment in regard to the Eng
lish situation. is that the conditions
which now prevail in England and
Ireland. particularly in reference to
the action OF the military officers, would
be utterly impossible in Germany. This
is cited as proof that in a. vital crisis

Herr Won kueper chief editor of
the Lokal Anzeiger, which Is regard
ed as semi official organ OF the
government, said today:
1T is my personal opinion that
the military episode in Great Britain
is much greater Importance even
than the cabinet crisis. We Ger
mans could never accept the prin-
ciple maintained by the English min
lister of war. that soldier or an
officer need only obey orders when
he considers command to be a
reasonable one"
