Workmen and Queen Elizabeth.

Doubtless ex-President Taft could mention a good many things variously and highly desirable that are now within the reach of peop4e in what are called moderate circumstances things that a few hundred years ago were not possessed even by royal per- sonages. When he had done so, however, he would still be some dis tance from proving the accuracy of the statement, made in his speech at the Cosmopolitan club, that 'the average workman today enjoys more luxuries than did Queen Elizabeth
 The average workman of today, if that means the one who earns the average pay of common labor, gets probably less than $500, perhaps less than $500, a year. and neither of these amounts, particularly if tho workman has a family, as he usually does, suffices for buying more than the absolute necessities of life-as he knows them. And right there lies the weakness of the ex-president's contention. Queen Elizabeth had not only all the necessities of her time. but she had all the luxuries that were then available to anybody, and those she didn't have she didn't miss, and didn't either sigh or rage because she had them not.
 The aforementioned rudeness and discomforts that existed even in the palaces of Elizabeth's day must have been taken as inevitable matters of course, and the sufferers from them were about as much to be pitied as were the people of forty years ago, who didn't have that modern neces- sity. the telephone, and yet managed we can hardly imagine. how-to get along without the slightest sense of hardship or loss on that account. The fact is that "the average workman never did. and probably newer will, have tho fuxurfes of his time.
 That can be said without in the least denying what MT. Taft undoubt.

ARMY OFF FOR MEXICO.

The war feature today is that two regiments have been sent to Mexico and the supposition is that it is a
 move towards a march to Mexico City where the Americans, apparently. must do the most important part of to understand the value of two ,regi-
 nlents numbering in all about 5000 men, in land fight in Mexico. There must be many times that number of l soldiers sent there if the war such as | it is,s is to be brought to speedy |termination. Presumab bly, the govern ment will send more soldiers there but the program appears to be pro- eeeding with deliberation and it is Impossible to escape the conclusion that tho government expects that |something will turn up in Mexico V hich will obviate the necessity for further action on the part of the United States toward that country. If they have had any such notion it
 might as we'll be dispelled as the war spirit is very strong in Mexico, the reports today being that the Ameri- can flag is being trampled under foot in Mexico City and the favorite song cs the natives there is Death to the Americans This does not indicate desire for peace.
 1t must be apparent to every one that whatever is to be done in Mexico must be done at once and furthermore that it is not to be sea fight but a conflict between the forces of both countries on land. The United States will need a large force in order to conduct it's campaign and the sooner they get 1t together the better it will be for the country and the more speedy will hostilities be brought to an end. It won't do to bank too much on what the rebels may do. Some say
 they have no sympathy with Huerta
 but there is no likelihood of their
 standing idly by while the principal city of the country is being torn to a protest. The longer the issues at stake remain unsettled the more troublesome will the case be for this
 country.

ly had in mind, which is that material conditions for all are, from the mod ern standpoint, very appreciably bet ter than they were in the Elzabethan age. Whether the levels of happi- ness and contentment in the different social classes have been proportion- ately raised is highly questionable. Objects of eager desire are to the many as numerous and as nearly un- attainable as they ever were A pessimist might even insist and with some plausibility, that there are more of them now than ever and that they are harder to get.

Flag Dissertation.
(New London Telegraph. )

The Massachusetts legislature has under consideration d bill proposing law, the essence of which should be among the statutes of every state in the Union. It would prohibit use of the United States flag or the flag of the state for advertising purposes even in connection with the cam paigning of political parties.
 There is opposition to the bill be- cause of a claim that it is intended particularly as drive against the progressive party on account of the flags used in the last campaign, and because it is so drastic in it's terms as to prevent the old fashioned cus- tom of flag hanging with perfectly ap- propriate political legendry attached. The flag is not disgraced because it is used to drape the pictures of can didates for important offices.
 But it cheapens the flag to permit it's use for general chromo' advertis- ing of anything from beans to whis- key or to lend it as a specific parti- san emblem to any party which has the arrogance to consider itself the only legitimate custodian of national honor and greatness. A reasonable law, limiting the commercial and par tisan exploitation of a sacred symbol by selfish, narrow and often unworthy purposes, can easily be framed and should be a part of the law of the land. The more precious the law regards the flag the more popularity it will be- revered and respected. It is not a proper background for bill posting. The Massachusetts bill. drastic. As it is, has gone to its third reading and if it passes will meet with wide approval.

RIOTS IN COLORADO.

A great stir is being made over the war with Mexico and comparatively little over the riots going on in Colo rado. where over forty lives have been lost as against fifteen in the war. There is a strike in progress in Colo iado and the militia has been called out to preserve order. There have teen several skirmishes and it is es- timated that fully a million dollars damages have been caused.
 A strike in Colorado with riotous results is not uncommon, but each time one breaks out it seems worse than the one which preceded it. It is significant that there should be so little excitement over the loss of so many men when there is so much over the loss of less than one-half the number in another line of work. The explanation is that one is a war with always carries with 1t the possibility of further complications which may result in far greater loss. The Colo rado trouble could probably be settled in five minutes with the right IeopIe at the head of the industrial side of the case but there is no such probability in the case of the trouble in Mexico. There are sixty eight men v.ounded as a result of the Mexican affair and it may be that some oa those may die, but while that is altogether a too large a list it will in all probability be increased if the Mexican trouble spreads and spread it is likely to do. That, however, is war and wherever there is such strife there will be tlood spilled and human life sacrificed. There has been a great deal of that done in this country already and the hope has always been expressed that there would never be any more such struggles, but it was not to be and the wish now Is that the present strife will be short lived and with as little sacrifice as poestble.

WOMAN BARELY
ESCAPES DEATH
FROM BANDITS
Moroccan Adventures of New
York Matron Are as Thrilling
as Any Fiction,
Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Jan. 17.-Mrs. Hope Allen
Sommer, of New York, who recently
had a remarkable adventure in Mo-
rocco. narrowly escaping death ct
the hands of Berber robbers, Is now
the object Of great interest in Paris
on account of the brilliant success
she has made in the establishment of
beautiful cinematograph house
known as lie Theater Colisee," IN
the exclusive Champs Elysees quar-
ter, near the Arc de Triomphe.
Mrs. Sommer's experience in Mo-
rocco is one of the most exciting ever
narrated outside the pages of fiction.
She went to Tangler in the company
Of a Mexican and his wife and APP
peared at a moment when tribesmen
from the interior were infesting with
unusuaul audacity the roads leading
out OF Tangier, but Mrs. Sommer
conceived the idea of visiting the
curious old town of Tetuan. All the
persuasions of her fellow travellers
could not induce her to abandon the
plan.
With her only companions an Arab
courier and an old Algerian soldier
she started one morning, following a
desolate route, along which she soon
encountered some ugly-looking ma
tives, armed to the teeth, walking In
the direction OF Tangier 1t was re-
marked that nearly all these men
turned back and followed the tour
lists.
This continued for mile after mile
until the omnibus cortege numbered
about threescore. Mrs. Sommer and
her escort, becoming alarmed. pressed
forward with all the speed their
mules were capable of to reach the
place which had been described to
them as suitable for halt overnight
When they arrived they found only
| an abandoned fort. The armed ma
tives who had been following crowd
ed around Mrs. Sommer with the ev-
ident purpose Of making her prisoner
By fortunate accident the jolting
of the journey had displaced her bag
of 1ewelry, which was hidden under
her clothing, and the robbers could
| not find it.
Il expected they would kill me,
said Mrs. Sommer, but the courier
| and Algerian soldier held heate /
argument with them, and suddenly
selling the bride of my mule hurried
me forward, so at last after tive
hours of terror we left them behind. ;

MRS.RE|DF|RST
VISITOR IN NEW
DUDLEY HOUSE
Park Lane Mansion, Ambassadors
Wedding Gift to Hon. Mrs.
John Ward, "Restored."
Special Cable to The American.


LONDON, Jan. 17.-Although Dud-
ley House, Park Lane, is by no means
completely furnished, Mr. and Mrs.
John Ward have taken up their resi-
dence there. The house was the gift
of the late American Ambassador
Whitelaw Reid to his daughter, Jean.
the Hon. John Ward, a brother of
Lord Dudley. Thus the house Is re-
stored IN this way to the Dudley
family.
1t has been entirely redecorated,
although the scheme which prevailed
during it's occupancy by Sir Joseph
Robinson, the South African mag
nate, remains. Most of the nine re-
ception rooms are painted in cream
and gold, as are the beautiful ball
room and picture gallery. The par
quet flooring in these rooms is per-
haps the most beautiful in London,
having elaborate floral designs in
laid.
The picture gallery at present is
empty, but pictures ere being col
lected for it, including a considerable
number of family portraits. A mod
ern note is the absence of the smok-
ing room, the fashion now being to
smoke, as the Americans say, "all
over the place" The house Is noted
for some very fine old freplaces
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, appropriately
enough, is the first guest to be en-
tertained in the new house by the
Wards, and she has expressed her.
self as delighted with the restora-
ton.

German Artists to
Show at 1915 Fair
VIII Put Exhibit In San Francisco
Independent Of Government
Action.
Special Cable to The American.

BERLIN. Jan. 17.--So far from
being dismayed by the Governments
refusal to participate in the San
Francisco Exposition, the leading
German artists are redoubling their
exertions to insure a fine display of
German paintings and sculptures.
Under the guidance of Geheimrat
Won klitzing, president of the Society
for the Promotion of German Art
Abroad, a committee is being rapidly
organized to collect exhibits. The
Reichstag will be asked to appro-
pirate a sum sufficient to defray the
incidental expenses
I'VE are sure to get large contrl-
buttons from Connoisseurs and art
patrons, anyhow, though we shall ask
the Government to appropriate $780,
600 toward our expenses" said an of
ncial OF the society.
1t Is intended to make the exhibit
representative of the best German
work of the last ten years. The list
of exhibitors includes Max Lieber-
mann. Max Klinger Louis Corinth,
Walter Leistokow and other celebri-
ties.
