IAN Old Subscriber" makes a
fine suggestion on another page

Scores of people are interested
Just like cold Subscriber" and
we urge that the rural schools
and their teachers take this mat

minister. She received theoo-
gical degree from the University
of Boston.
To study to be a minister was
one thing, to be a minister was
another. The Methodist Episco-
pal church would not ordain her.
There again she experienced the
force of prejudice which limits a
woman's activity. Finally she
found Protestant Methodist
church willing to allow her to
preach the gospel. Her first
parish was on Cape Cod. Being
exceedingly human and practi.
cal, Miss Shaw appreciated early
that to heal physical ailments
was a necessary part of her
work as a preacher. Therefore
she studied and received a medi
cal degree at Boston University
After seven years in Cape Cod
parish she resigned her pastorate
in answer to the demand for her
as a lecturer. Since then she has
been the most popular speaker in
tn woman's movement.
Miss Shaw has seen the organ
lied suffragists of the United
States grow from a small body OF
women to d great
army. After working with Susan
b. Anthony for over twenty
years she was herself elected
president of the National AsSo-
citation in 1904.
Possessed of wonderful Vi
tality, never failing in humor
and hopefulness, she is always
ready to meet the demands up
On her time and energy. She IS
able to propaganda
speeches and at campaign argu-
nents; equally at ease in the pull
pit, the lecture hall, and at an
'pen air meeting.
No one since the days OF
francis Willard has equalled Dr.
Shaw in the eloquence with
which she presents the cause OF
'otes for women. You will have

The good, old fashioned people
over in Audrain County still think
that when man is accused of
stealing chickens it is worth while
for him and his neighbors to get
up atfidavits asserting his limo
cence, comments the Pike Co.
Post. In some communities we
believe, chicken stealing is now
merely a conventional offence, and
when a fellow is accused of it he
simply laughs it off and goes and
gets more chickens. Fact is in
some places the price is so high. n
fellow can hardly get chickens
any other way.

letters addressed to the embassy of

mighty unexpected and protracted
travelling.
Before going to sleep. however. I
went over the European situation.
What was looming big? hoped it was
something big, for SO long as a secret
work when thrones or the boundaries
Of empires are involved.
I reflected that March--it was in 1911
had been decidedly strenuous month
for more than one Cabinet in Europe
Germany and France We're swapping
and snarling. France was going
around with her chest stuck out her
attitude decidedly belligerent. OF
course this was due to the fat fingers
Of honest John Bull; indeed. England
had more than ten fingers in this pie

I knew that the air was fun Of
Morocco and war talk. | knew that
there was certain faction in Germany
that was trying to push the Kaiser into
war. This clique. composed Of army
and navy men, the junler-the lingo"

Like myself. when the Emperor gave
mo that message. the Captain of the
Panther was dumfoundcd. 1t was a
direct contradiction Of the official or
ders he had received from the Foreign
office to go to Morocco and make -
demonstration against the French and
the English interests These previous
orders had been to create war, this
verbal message was to stop war!
Could the German "iingocs" the big
gun manufacturers the steel people,
the army and navy men, the powerful
feudal faction have heard me deliver
that message to the Captain of the
Panther they would have believed with
rage. The whole empire wanted war.

the little underground chamber at the
Wilnclmstrassc, not absolutely abso-

he, deemed 1t wise not to fly in the face
If public opinion at the time and coun-
termand the official orders to the
Panther. So he had done so in the
dark, verbally, by me, knowing that
So he served the best interests of his
empire.
The rest is contemporary history.
You remember how the Panther steamed
to Morocco how she forced her way
into the harbor Of Agadir and created
an international sensation by remaining
there about two weeks. You remember
how one French and one English war;
lttt al, Gil al
how the big officers and everybody
tngling to open fire, the terrible war
that broke out recently just missed
being preciptated then. You may not
know that the British and French Ad-
mrals sent "A secret utimatum to the
Captain Of the Panther Unless he
left Agadr he would he forced To- leave.
That meant war.
Now had the Captain Of tho Panther
not received the private message from
the Emperor he would have been forced
by his naval code to resist this ultima
tum by force. Had he gone there act
ing under the original official orders
led war would have blaZed across Eu-
rope in 1871 instead of 1914. The
slightest slip would have caused it
the report Of a rifle. But the Panther
steamed away.
And this was the Clcvercst part of
the Emperor's scheme he knew that
France and England were allies; he did
not know. though. just how sincere
this alliance was. BY sending the
Panther into Agadir he learned that
rhe entente cordiale really meant some
thing, that England and France were
allies that they We're prepared to resist

ton precedent to its erection.
If all goes we'll the corner stone of the
building will be laid in March. 1915, as

Powell Memorial for Grand Canyon.
Approval also has been given by the
fine arts commission of the design of

his explorations of the western country.
The memorial is TO be erected at a con-
spcuouS point on one of the banks of
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. in
recognition of Prof Powell's early eX-
ploration of that region.
The approved design calls for a monu-
massive DrODOr-
tions, made of concrete, and placed so
as to command the best possible view

The action of the fine arts commits
sion ON these two projects was an
nounced by Col Harris secretary of the
commission, who said that both had been
fully considered at the last meeting of
the commission in this city.
