You ask me what my greatest phil
anthropic interest is. and I can say
without hesitation. the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association.
Do you know that from our small
beginning eight years ago We have
now a membership Of several thou
sand. and we are conducting tho
largest school for girls in Washing
ington? About 500 have been en-
rolled in various classes since our
fall term opened in October.
The Y. w. c. A. is a world wide
movement. and was greatly inter-
ested in studying the work in for
eign Countries. to find that a girl
could be safely started on her way
by the travellers aid at tho Union
Station here and go practically
around the world under the protec-
ton of Young Women's Christian As
sociations. Even in darkest AZ
rica," at johannesburg. they have
fine Y. w. c. A. building, while here
in the Capital of the most enIighl-
ened nation in the world, the Y. W.
c. A has most uncomfortable, in
adequate quarters.
Work of Helen Gould.
1t was largely through the interest
and generosity Of Miss Grace H.
Dodge and Mrs. Finley J. Shepard.
then Miss Helen Gould, both of the
national board. in New York. that
the organization was made possible
here In 1906. Now the citizens of
Washington are awakening to the
fact that the Y. w. C. A. Is a civic
institution, filing a lonG-felt need in
the community.
1t is an interesting and significant
fact that the importance Of the Y.
w. G. A. has been recognized Of
ficially; first, by President Roosevelt
and now by the Vice President CT the
United States. In the former case,
Mr.. Roosevelt sent for me and asked
what he could do for our OF ganixa-
ton before his term expired, and,
later on. ON addressing an audience
Room. said he had never before
spoken In the interest Of an organic
Zation at his own request.
Now Vice President Marshall has
paid us a like compliment by ad-
dressing meeting at the Eelasco
Tleater. on March 5.
Site For New Home.
What about our new building?
We have obtained a fine site at the
southeast corner Of Thirteenth and
streets. the purchase of which
was made possible through the gen.
erosity of $500 subscribers during
our campaign in May. 1912. Plans
are new being perfected for a build
ing, which, to meet present-day
needs. will cost $30O. 600 Cannot
Washington make that greatly de-
sired building possible?
The work here is not purely local
in character, as In other cities.
Many girls coming here to fill Gov
ernment positions are now directed
by the heads Of bureaus to apply to
the Y. w. c. A. for advice as to
where they should make their
homes, and as many as 1.600 girls
and women from all over the United
States have applied to US in one
year for accommodations. All We

Y. S. EXPRESS QUITS.

The United States Express Com
pany has announced that It will sur
render its contracts with railroads,
llquidate its large assets, and go out
Of business. This may be regarded
as direct result of the inaugura-
ton of the parcel post, for probably
the express company could have sur
NiVed the sharp reduction of express
rates ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, if it had not been
for the Inauguration OF the parcel
post about the same time. Taking the
two together, they were too much
for the old United States Company.
It's stockholders have decided to give
up fight in which they see moth
ing ahead but a progressive dissipa-
tion of their assets.
The United States Company's
president, Thomas c. Platt, was long.
Senator and the putative chief rep
resentat!ve of express interests in
Washington, and indeed in the field
of New York and all national politics
as well. For two generations this
company prospered and developed
into such a rich investment and hold
ing concern that E. II. Hartman
found it worth while to gather in a
big slice of its stock in order to have
its financial power at his command.
Now that liquidation is in sight, the
stock has moved rapidly upward, by
reason of shareholders confidence
that the investment assets will turn
out heavy values.
The last hope Of the express share
holders was that new contracts
might be secured from the railroads
tor hauling express at cheaper rates
than formerly. But the railroads
we're in most embarrassing posi-
lion in this regard. They have long
been criticised for hauling express
matter so much cheaper than mail.
Lately they have been demanding,
and with a good deal of argument
on their side, that they be paid moro
or handling the mail, because it nov!
included the vast volume of parcel
post matter. Consequently it was
most inauspicious time to ask them
20 reduce the express rate, when they
were urging an increase in the mail
rate. That hope ended, the United
States management concluded that TO
liquidate was the best plan.
1t will not be safe to assume that
this forecasts a general withdrawal

Huerta has at last been made to see the handwriting on the wall and is willing to accept the media ton of the Latin. American repub- lies in settling the bad mess he has made of the affairs of Mexico. One feature of the caseis the friend- ly feeling of the South American republics heretofore more or less unfriendly to the United States. There appears to be revulsion of feeling in our favor, though good ness knows why they have ever been unfriendly considering all that has been done for them by this government.

 PEACE PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, recent developments in Mexico, whereby the United States has cause to assume a new and important relation toward all elements of the Mexican people, may reasonably be assumed to have given rise to some uncer- tainty as to the attitude that would be observed by the State Govern ment of Arizona, in the event of further complications however serious, toward foreign people of whatever class or faction, residing permanently or temporarily within this state;
 Now, THEREFORE, l, Geo. w. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, by virture of the authority vested in me, do give assurance of the intent and purpose of the State of Ari- zona to maintain toward every foreign resident not fugative from justice or otherwise directly answerable to the lawful authority of another state, or to the govern ment of the United States, such an attitude of guardianship, pro- lection and justice as ordinarily characterizes the States demcanor in time of peace toward its acknowledged individual residents, according them all usual and reasonable privileges and every safeguard of security compatible with the public peace and safety.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State of Ari- zona to be affixed. Done at Phoe- nix, the Capitol, this 25th day of April, 1914.
