CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 1o.-
(MaIIed from salonlka to New York
to avoid the Turkish censor JAIL
Turkish women strongly favor the
war and for reason Of their own.
For the time being at least, hatred Of
England pevades them that 10 only
equaIied In Germany.
TWO years ago the Turkish govern
ment called for public subscriptions
to fund 70 purchase two dread
nauehts. They were TO give Turkey
naval supremacy over all OF the ea''
kan nations. The women Of Turkey
then saw their opportunity for eman'
cIpstion. During two preceding Bat
kan wars they had made great strides
forward. One woman had flown In an
aeropIane over ST. Sophia. Others had
accepted dangerous and secret dlplo'
matte missions. In many ways they
had demonstrated that, II given oppor-
tunIty. they could show courage, CHAR
aeter and InteIiIgence equal to that o.
any Turkish male.
The young Turks had recognized
this fact. They had brought influence
on tho sheik- k-UI-Isiam to moderate
their condition. And when the gov
eminent called for public suoscrsP-
tion. for tho warcraft, the women OF
Turkey saw another golden oPportun'
ity Of winning emancipation. So far

"unpopular extortion" would have
been far more applicable. The Off

eioloay Of Turkish men. In all total
Of $4,000, 600 was raiaed. The Tur'
klsh women raised more than haif.
The two dreadnaughts were being
rushed to completion In British ship
yards when Turkey most needed them
after Greece had bought two cruisers
from the United States. The last In.
staIlment was paid and tho crews and

will be paid for In full was Of nc

PARIS, psc. sf.-Ths French havs
captured the village Of SteInbach, In
upper AIsace, following one Of the
hardest fought engagements Of the
war to date on the eastern front. They
had literally 70 battle their way from
house to house, meeting . rakIng ma

Germans had posted on roof tops and
In windows.
The losses on both sides were very
large. Occupation Of this position 10
declared officially to be Of the utmost
strategic Importance, opening az Il
does, the way to the roads that run to
AltkIrch and Mulhausen.
Announcement Of this triumph for
the forces Of General Pau was the
chief feature Of the afternoon official
communique. IL was stated at mill
tary headquarters that the Germans
were defeated only after hours Of the
most desperate fighting, in which the
French essayed half a dozen bayonet
charges. Repuised, they came back
again and again until they finally gain
ed a foothoid on the very outskirts Of
the village. They then advanced from
house to house, using their machine
guns to disIodge the Germans.
The fighting Is now confined to the
centre and right wing Of the French
lines. From the sea to the Aisne the
situation was reported quiet today.
The snow and rains have made active
operations impossible. The troops
are remaining in their trenches, doing
their best to keep warm.

the part OF certain officials to charac
terize the protest as political
dodge" has enraged Americans here.
II was plain that the official press bu-
reau was trying to make out case
against the United States OF giving
publicity to the note before 1t actually
had been presented to England, In it,
statement that the note was not hand
ed over until Wednesday and Ambas-
sador Page personally forced re-
traction from the foreign ofdco. At
the American embassy 1t is stated
that 80 soon that word was received
that the note was to be sent, the for

The summary and the note itself fol-
lowed. In every way the usages OF
diplomacy were followed out, so far
as the embassy here Is concerned and
Ambassador Page was prompt to re-
sent the imputation. 1t is not believ-
ed, however, that this will In any way
ccmplicate the situation
No answer from England IS looked
for by the embassy for several days.
The questions at issue are too grave to
be dismissed OF hand and the attitude
of the other neutral countries, espec-
tally those of the Scandinavian PEN
insula will also be considered at the

here that some way will be found
whereby these countries will agree to
prevent trans-shipments Of supplies
from America. If this can be done,
the solution OF Americas problem will
be easy.

LONDON, Dec. 31.--Direct negotia-
tions in connection with the United
States protest against Britain exercis
ing the right of search on the high
seas began today. This afternoon the
American ambassador, Walter III.
Page, called at the foreign office by
appointment For long time he was
closeted with Sir Edward Grey, the
foreign minister. It is understood that
Page explained the position OF the
United States and emphasized that
the protest was made in the most
friendly spirit In ths hope Of clearing
up conditions, that il ignored, might
result seriously.
No statement was made regarding
the meeting other than the formal
one that the negotiations had beel
begun and that they probably would
continue for some time.
Complaint Against Japan.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Constant
and serious interference with Ameri-
can commerce on the Pacific was
charged today against Japan-Great
Britain's ally. prominent member
of the Pacific delegation Of the house
was authority for the statement
that Japan has been holding up Unit
ed States vessels on the high seas in
a manner similar to that which
brought sharp protest against Great
Britain.
R.. P. Schwerin, Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, operating fleet
Of merchant and passenger vessels
from San Francisco to oriental wat
ers, is the complainant against jap
an. He has flled with congress pre-
liminary statement of the case.
This claims that not only was the

and detained for forty-eight hours,
but that practically every other YES

There is O sentimental side OF the
question as well as the more practical
and rational. For any race to aspire
to the point Of gaining supremacy,
its physical strength must be the first
requisite. The proper conception Of
the enormous waste Of vital force, as
resulting nervous stability after an
attack of illness, must be ever in
mind; for this reason children must
be properly guarded. By being guard
ed we do not mean making hot house
plants Of them, but rather the oppo-
site, hardening them, making them
rigorous by plenty Of pure fresh air
and good food. After the nursing
period there is little danger of chill
dren eating too much. The growing
organism is always hungry; children
are more apt to be underfed than
overfed. The food should be a mixed
diet, although there is no definite
scientific objection to vegetable diet
SO long as this does not exclude dairy
products and eggs. Candy is ra-
tional and needed article in the diet
airy Of children, especially. So long
as by candy we understand it to mean
sugar. Every one who knows any
thing about children is acquainted
with the universal desire for sweets.
1t is true that if given before meals
sweets often decrease the appetite,
which only means that We must use
common sense in all our affairs. Eat
ing between meals is not bad habit
if a child is we'll. Of course no child
should be set to eating a jar Of pre-
serves, but jelly or preserves with
bread and butter is ideal food, fur
nishing energy for immediate use and
helps the child store up some flesh
and fat. It is the undernourished
child that succumbs most readily to
infections.
The same argument may be laid
down for grown people so far as the
judicious use of sweets is concerned.
Liking sweets is no sign in itself Of
diabetes, which, by the way, is not a
kidney disease. Sugars are direct
source Of energy, and easily handled
in the human economy. Every obese
person knows that sweets do not de-
crease fat, because they conserve the
fat and keep it from being used for
energy. It is a we'll known fact that
great candy eaters are not given to
great use of alcoholics; acting on this
we'll known observation many have
said that the use of alcoholics was
but the attempt to satisfy the natur-
al craving Of the body for what we
call carbohydrates, as We call sugars
and starchy foods, Of which class the
alcohols constitute member. The
sugars and alcohols are not distantly
related chemically nor physiologically.
After they get teeth give the chill
dren all they want Of food which
agrees with them. Keep them we'll
nourished. 1t is better to spend it
with the grocer and the butcher than
with the doctor and the druggist.
