The girls of El Paso have organized
IN opposition to those bachelors who
nave agreed not to spend over 50 a week
entertaining the fair seX-so says a
communication received by The Herald
To-Day. The communication looks sus-
pIclOusly like the one reporting the
organization Of the bachelors club
same typewriter, same style of writing
etc. Like the previous communication
reporting the formation of the Bache-
iors' club, the one received today is I'M
signed It makes good reading, but the
whole affair probably should appear in
the fiction department of The Herald
rather than the news columns. Never
nicatiOn says:
The girls of FL Paso have decided to
meet the members of The Bachelors
club. on their own ground. Incensed
by the denunciSNiOn of the methods
and tactics" employed by wOmankind
70 young women last night formed a
protective association" The members
or the Bachelors club" were de
nounced in the most bitter terms and
especially the member who wrote the
article that appeared in The Herald
Monday.
The name suggested for this organic
alton was the "Old Maids club" The
members agreed to wear a small green
DOW pinned in a conspicuous place and
TO nave nothing to do with any young
man who wore a red bow, unless he
surrendered to them this bow and sew
cred his connection with the "Bache-
lors' club" Then they would go with
him, but would wear a bow of green
and red, with the two ribbons inter
twined. 1t was Furthermore agreed
that a young man who wore a red bow
and persisted in wearing one, could not
call more than once, unless the bow
was surrendered. Several of the mem
bers were school girls and they agreed
not to take work under any teacher
who wore a red bow.
This organization also hopes and ex-
poets to increase its membership. It
furthermore intends to boycott the
members of the bachelors club" until
that organization is forced out of ex-
istence. Every young woman in the
city is asked to work in harmony with
the "O1d Maids club" Remember in
unity there is strength"
The organizers of the club do not
want their names published, as they
believe that more can-1e accomplished
by working in quiet way and without
making their names public. Then every
woman will feel free to work in har-
mony with this organization.

them, entered into an agreement by which
Germany was to obtain the greater part of
Angola Portuguese West Africa ana Eng
land was to have Mozambique The new
treaty, in place OF this division, sets up
spheres Of influence, Germany to acquire the
sole right Of economic penetration in An
COLA while England will claim the same
right in antique.

Under the new agreement, 50 far as the
consent Of the British government is con-
cerned, German capital will be allowed to
obtain a controlling interest in the Angola
