MnLERAND

Alexander Mil1erand, the French
 minister of war is one of the five So- ciaIists in the present war cabinet of the French republic, and has the dis tinction of being the first socialist member of any European cabinet. By accepting a portfolio in a capital istic' government, he alienated him self from the stinnpossibi1ists' wing of the French socialist. party, who de- c1ared that the acceptance of office in non-socialist government was treason to the cause The, two most important positions in the French government are held. during the pres ent crisis, by stmoderate'' disciples of Karl Marx the German Jew who founded the school of scientific and internati ona1 socialism. Premier Rene Vfviani. native of Algeria, is also a socialist, although he has acted in dependently of his party since he en- tered the chamber of deputies. M. MilleraIld has been prominent in French politics for more than thirty years. In 1884 he joined with the late Jean Jaures. in bringing about the understanding between the social ists and the radicals which exerted so powerful an effort on French af- fairs. It was fifteen years ago. in 1899, that Mi11erand became a mem Der of the French cabinet, the first socialist to hold such a place. During the ministry of Premier Briand, him self a former socialist, Mi11erand re- signed because he could not agree with Briand's policy of legally pro- hibiting railway strikes. Viviani, the present prime minister, resigned at the same time M. Millerand was war minister from the close of the Agadir incident of 1911 until the election of President Poincare. and he brought the French army to the highest state of efficiency it has reached during the third republic. At the beginning of the war he was recalled to the post of minister of war, and in that office he is looked upon as the main stay of the national defense.

times a day, now have it but once. Much might also be said as to the possibility of making a larger use of fish,, oysters, and other sea foods. Ac- eording to the economists, when you buy fish, yos1 get a much larger pro- portion Of nutriment for the money than in the case of meat.
 Fish foods have always occupied a subordinate place, from the general feeling that they can be used satis- factorily only by people living fairly closes to the places where the fish are caught. Modern cold storage methods however, make it possible to take them anywhere. Many varieties of canned fish are very appetizing.
 The prejudice against fish seems to be largely question of cooking. Ho- te1s, restaurants, and dining cars usu- ally have fish courses, and attractive Iy drowned and seasoned, few peo- pie skip theIn.s Summer hotels sit uated along the ocean advertise their shore dinners.s' People will travel long distances, drawn by this attrac- lively prepared sea. food. This is due not merely to the freshness of the na- terial, but still more because the cooks in these sections have been trained from childhood to cook fish in an appetizing manner.
 Apparently the meat diet is to be a, luxury for mapy years. Nothing will ever bring back the free ranges of the west. But there is abundant nu- triment left in the sea and on the farms.ss If heacooks know their busi- ness. it can have just as good a relish as the beefsteak or the lamb chop.

 he may be too active. The happy medium is mighty hard thing to strike. Don't you find it that way in your own business? Some of the boys send too fast and some too slow and some just right, eh?

THE AMBASSADORS


 While the armies and. navies of the great European powers are engaged in a death struggle, the diplomatic rep resentatives of the warning nations at Washington are engaged in a contest which, if less spectacular, is none the less important. It is generally rec ognized that the United States will be cast for an influential role when the day of settlement comes, and the pres ent efforts of the ambassadors to America will doubtless exercise a pro- found influence in future mediation

It will be just three years tomorrow since the Russian ambassa- dor assumed his duties at Washington.

He is a large, impressive and rather handsome man, and leader in Wash ington society. M.

 Stuart's Calcium Waters act direct 1y upon the sweat glands of the skin, since their mission is to stinu- late the excretory ducts, They do not create precipitation. but cause the skin to breathe out vigorously, thus transforming precipitation into a gas- eous vapor. The calcium sulpItde of which these waters are composed consumes the germ poisons in the sweat glands and pores, hence the blood makes a new, smooth skin in a surprisingly short time.
 You will never be ashamed to look at yourself in a mirror. once you use Stuart's Calcium Waters. Nor will your friends give you that limiting look, as much as to say-for good ness sake. get rid of those piInples

Aurora, ILL.,, Feb. 20-Anthony Petras
refused to testify at the inquest into
the murder of Theresa Hollandsr,
formerly his fiancee, who was beaten
to death in cemetery near her home
Monday night.
Petras, who is under arrest, was
brought before the coroner's jury, but
after stating his name and residence,
refused, on advice of counsel, to reply
further. His attorney announced that
Petras would be ready to talk one
week from Saturday, and the inquest
accordingly was adjourned to that
date.
Among the witnesses was Walter
Hickman, a negro, at first suspected.
Hickman repeated the story he told the
police, that he was on the trolley car
in which Petras and Miss Hollander
also were passengers, and that Petras
got off block beyond the spot where
the girl alighted and ran back.
! Louis Nelson testified that he saw q
man running in the direction of Pc

cemetery at about the time the murder
is supposed 10 have been committed
Louis Hollander, father of the dead
girl, repeated his statement that his
daughter had met Petras early on the
fatal evening and had been frightened
by him.

about letter taken to him from May

MINORITY FAV0RS sum
Authorized BY SENATE
Spirited Fight Will be Provoked On
Floor When Measure Comes up For
Debate-Friends of School Plan to
Have Original Amount Restored.
Special to The Netos.

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 2O.-One of the
big surprises of the legislative session
occurred this morning when the house
committee on appropriations submit
ted report on the State Normal Col
lege appropriation bill, cutting down
the allowance, as passed in senate,
from 100000 to 100000.
The report will provoke a spirited
fight on the floor of the house. Friends
of the college are planning to have the
original sum restored. A minority
report favors the original sum.
Another minority report from the
appropriations committee this morn
ing urges that the Confederate Hospi-
tai annex at Vicksburg be abolished
because INDECENT veterans can be sup
ported more cheaply at the Beauvoir
home
In spite of storm warnings from the
chair and vigorous efforts of the serg-
cant at arms it was impossible to hold
a quorum in the house this morning
long enough to pass bill. A meas
ure requiring teachers in agricultural
high schools to stand a special exami-
nation on branches they teach was
pending when members commenced
drifting out of the chamber and hur-
ried to their boarding houses to pack
their grips and start on the journey
to the Gulf Coast and Mardi Gras fes-
tivites at New Orleans. The point
of no quorum was raised and the meas
ure left pending.
The senate was also in do nothing
mood. No bills of consequence passed
that body. A feature of the senate
session was the introduction of a bill
by Senator Anderson appropriating
100000 for new buildings for the in
stitution for the blind and authorizing
the sale of the present property on
North State street.
