May Give Up Warsaw.

Petrograd, Dec. II, via London.-A
Russian military expert in comment
ing on the German attempt on War
saw, says:
According to the Russian authori-
ties the yielding of cities to the enemy
does not constitute an important war
factor, since the bombardment of big
cities like LODI, with the attendant de-
struction of life and property, tends to
demoralize the army.
Thus if it is of strategic advantage
to evacuate Warsaw the capture of
that city ought not to be considered
important"

SUFFRAGE EXTREMISTS.

some OF the women OF the land who
are engaged in advancing the suffrage
propaganda would better be out OF
the business than in IL. We refer to
the class which is trying TO establish
the rights of women at the expense
OF the home. on the plea OF emancipa-
ton from household cares and re-
responsibilities. and another class de-
claring for the supreme independence
OF woman in the married relation.
One OF the feminist cult not long ago
declared that the happiness Of woman
depended upon the abroeation of the
home cooking stove for prepared.
brought in food. and the substitution
OF trained outside service. hired by
the hour. for domestic. sympathetic
help. This procedure. the feminist
claimed. would give the wife and
mother an opportunity to 90 out into
the by-ways and assist In world de-
veiopment. We cannot agree with
her. for most OF the leisure time OF
women OF this character who would
fall for her programme would be de-
voted 10 the development OF their
skill in whist and tango diversions.
The question OF world DEVELOPMENT
could not come under their limited
comprehension. This sort OF argu-
ment does not tend to advance the
true spirit behini equal political and
legal rights for womankind. because
II lifts tho anchor of the vital infiu-
ences in the home. and starts the
household bark sailing on a turbulent
and dangerous sea.
Another class affects TO make mar
riage altogether too much a matter
of light condescension on the part OF
the one who is vooed. in raising up
preposterous and wholly imaginary
conditions OF that state. For in.
stance. we have IL from one American
militant that wedding rings are relics
OF barbarism. They are relics OF the
day when women were mems chattels
should feel like a slave instead OF a
free woman IL wore one" II Is
'ncomprehensible that any normal
woman could accept such views OF
the pledge OF love and the honorable
badge of marital union. II wedding
rings are relics OF barbarism there is
one thing we have to thank barbaric
customs for. when we remember the
thinly worn golden bands that have
shone on the emaciated hands of the
mothers. as they laid at rest in their
collins.

CONVICT BUILT ROADS.

The scheme to employ convicts in

A CLOUDY CRITICISM

We confess TO ignorance to the iden-
tity and fame Of Major CassIus
Gillette. who has been writing some
mustard hot stories about Mexican
affairs for the Philadelphia Ledger.

logic and facts with wonderful extrav-
agance and carelessness. The fact
that he claims to have induced Score
tary of State Bryan to recommend
John Lind TO the President as a
mum" ambassador to Mexico is OF
doubtful credit. except that Lind has
lived up to his recommendations with
regard to silence.
The Major says that Madero was
deserving Of death II was Huerta's
duty to shoot him. because n Madero
had been liberated he would have
started another revolution. How then
does the facile Major account for tho
