The German cruiser Dresden and a
British cruiser at once saw the danger
of the Americans and the riot was
quelled when the commander of the
Dresden promptly turned his guns on
the crowd and warned the Infatuated

the coming of the refugee ships.
Shortly after the Americans got out
of the city several hundred armed
Mexicans rushed in and began look

In the rush of the Americans to the

Of smoke, heightened by flames in
countless places, Ncuvo Laredo, Mex,
just across the Rio Grande from

Dynamite and the torch succeeded

The work OF destruction was ma =
more certain by liberal use of kero-

An attempt to dynamite the Mexican
end of the international railroad
bridge was prevented by the accurate
aim of the men behind the guns on
the American side.
When the federals returned after

place deserted and then they began
the work of destroying. They fired

Among the buildings destroyed were

of the largest in this section of the
southwest; the postoffice, theater ard
the customs house.
Before dashing south the federal
troops prepared for a general con-
Migration. The fires, which were
lighted at the moment of departure,
assumed giant proportions within less
than five minutes. Many Of the hous $
were of stone or adobe and under
ordinary circumstances not easily
burned, but oil had been used, causing
every house fired to burn rapidly.
The first signal which drew the at
tentiOn of the people OF Laredo TO the

rifle fire as the train was pulling out.
The MeXicans fired at the American
soldiers at Fort Mcintosh and the fire
was returned at once by the Ameri-

FeminiSm a Peril To The
Home, Says New York Leader.
CNew York Herald.)

It is the feminist who wants to de-
stroy the home and do away with
marriage, while the anti-suffragist is
working earnestly to hold these ties
together, according to Mrs. Henry
M. Burton, of Rochester, in an ad-
dress before the York Club.
Mrs. Burton, who is vice president
of the Rochester Anti-Suffrage Asso-
citation, and a member of the New
York State Federation of Women's
Clubs and the Consumers League,
is the wife of the president of the
Rochester Co-educational College.
She came here purposely to present
her anti-feminist views to represent
atives of the New York State Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
She criticized the modern woman for
not devoting more time to the place
she calls home.
81 think that when woman gets
up in the morning, makes up the
folding bed. dusts the pianola and
orders a potato salad for dinner she
isn't doing all she SHOULD for the
home" Mrs. Burton said. 1t is
the extramural occupations which
are attracting her away from the
old duties"
Sutfragists were blamed for wo-
men b cling in industry. 1t was
through the efforts of the ballot
yearners, she said, that great num-
Ders of the sex left the home to tstE
upon themselves larger duties.
Now that they have thrust these
women into the factory and sweat
shops it's up to the suffragists to see
hat the conditions under which these
women work are improved" she

APPEAL OF
THE PASTORS
For General Observance of The
Great Sunday School
Day.
NEXT SUNDAY MAY THIRD.
An Attempt To Get 100000
To Attend In Ken
lucky.
NEXT SUNDAY MAY THIRD.

The Pastors Association has made
this appeal in reference to Sunday
School Day and general attendance
at all church services for the coming
Sunday, May 3.
Believing that good results come
from every special effort put forth
in trying to get people to attend
church, the Pastors Association on
yesterday agreed to push the inter-
est throughout our city for the gen.
eral attendance day next Sunday.
We therefore ask that the member
ship of our various churches join us
in a most hearty cooperation from
now until Sunday morning, even up
to the hour of going to Sunday
School, and lets have the largest
per cent of people in our Sunday
Schools of any city in the state of
Kentucky. The request has been
sent out by the International Sunday
School Committee and repeated by
the governors of some of the states.
Our own chief executive has issued
a proclamation that the state of
Kentucky show up one million, but
why not let us do our part to make
it two million?
This is not an experiment for the
sake of idle curiosity, but in all earn
estness and devotion we want to see
the largest attendance in our Sunday
Schools and at the preaching hours
of the day that was ever known in
our city. Once more we ask you,
one and all, to help us make this the
best attendance at all church SER
vices that was ever known in our
city. We believe it is worth while
to make the effort. So get ready for
morning and come and bring
all the family. 20 worship the Lord
in beauty of holiness; fear before
Him all the earth" Ps.

ourselves together, as the manner

many of the suffragists feel that
they have shouldered tremendous
responsibility"
People often say that woman is
the domesticated animal. She isn't.
It's man who is most domesticated.
He loves his home, and his club is
simply survival of early days. Of
course now and then he likes to es-
cape from the home circle and go

Mrs Burton said that the women
of this country were sending their
girls to college to make feminists out
of them. She said there were $1,000
girls in American colleges and uni
versities who are preparing to join
in the revolution which, she asserted,
is sure to follow the feminist move
ment.
The speaker criticized some of the
leading suffragists for their political
and personal notions and ended by
declaring that after listening to their
votes for women" arguments the
only one she had ever heard that.
sounded sincere was that suffragists'
wanted to vote because it would add.
to their dignity.
81 think some women do feel so
undignified that the vote would in
crease their sense of dignity" she
said. 1T is a presumption on the
part of these women to say that be-
cause men vote they are happier. If
you took 800 women and the same
number of men and then checked Of, 4
their happinesses and unhappinesses
you would find that the women had
the greatest number of happinesses.
