Militant Suffragette with Hatchet
Attacks Man Who Attempts to
Prevent Their Acts of Vandalism

their vengeance on DR.. Francis Ed
ward Forward, deputy governor ana
medical officer of Holloway jail. Two
women armed with stout horsewhips
sprang upon the doctor as he left the
prison today and were thrashing him
severely when a policeman came to his
rescue and arrested his ASSISTANTS.
The women declared that their ac-
ton was protest against the 'forci-
bic feeding for which this beast Is
responsible"
DR.. Forward refused to charge the
women with assault, but the police
detained them on a charge of disor-
derby conduct.
Once before, on Oct. II, 1918. DR..
Forward was attacked in a similar
manner.
An larson squad" of Suffragettes

stroyed a large cricket pavilion at

A dispatch from Belfast, Ireland,
SAYS an attempt was made near there

Urges Collegians
For Public Service

Boston, June 3.-The participation of
college men in public service was urg-
ed by Justice William Renwick Rid
dell of the supreme court of Ontario
in an address before the graduating
class of Boston University today.
He who shuns his fellows said
Justice Riddell, may have high
mission, lofty outlook and he may
be worthy of all praise. But there must
be some to mingle with the people, to
know their needs al first hand, to take
an immediate and not simply a me-
date part in directing their thoughts
and their aspirations. Is that function
to be left to the ward heeler. to the
boss who makes his living by it, to
the party hack with no thought above
the immediate success of some
scheme?
Someone must lead; who is it to be?
It should be the glory of a university
that from its walls so forth the lead
ers of the people. The neighboring coll
lege which trained a Garfield, the
venerable and historic elder sister
across the way which gave this land
a Roosevelt and that of another state
which produced a Taft or a Wilson,
did not crush in their minds the de-
sire for public service.
All the problems of government
have not been solved; many remain
for the clearest thinking, the renun-
citation of prejudice, honest and sim
cere determination to do the thing
that is right.
How are we to settle international
questions? Blood agony and death,
canont be the final argument. War is
unhappily sometimes not only right
but even duty. In the general case,
however, Of international disputes, war
can no more be said to be necessary
than it is necessary for two persons
who have a dispute to fight it out
with lance or club as was the Gus
tom centuries ago in England
I'VE have 1000 miles of international
boundary without . soldier or fortif-
cation. The example of two such ma
lions as the United States and Cam
ada might well be followed by others,
and in good time it must and will be
followed

London, June "a savage attack
with a Ratchet was made today by a
young militant Suffragette on an at
tendant at the Dore gallery. who tried
to prevent her from destroying the
valuable pictures on exhibition there.
The woman who thus abandoned the
principle of the sanctity of human
life, hitherto held up as one of the
chief assets of the militant Suffra
gettes, already had ruined two paint
ings in the gallery, which is in New
Bond street, the heart of the fashion
able quarter of London. She was pro-
ceeding to hack a third picture when
an attendant named Bourlet seized her
arm.
The vandal turned on the man fu-
riously and rained a shower of blows
on his body, severely injuring him.
Other attendants rushed to Bourlet's
aid and quickly overpowered and dis
armed the woman She kicked, strug-
gled and screamed for some minutes
until she was handed over to the po-
lice The woman evidently is educated
and was stylishly dressed.

Proper Thing Now Is to
Peel Off SoiIed Skin

Those who abhor sticky, greasy, shiny,
streaked compilations should religiously
avoid creams, powders and rouges during
the heated days. There's no need for
them, anyway, since the virtues of mer-
colized wax have become known. No
amount of perspiration will produce any
evidence that you've been using the wax.
AS it is applied at bedtime and washed
off in the morning, the complexion never
looks like a makeup. MercoliZed wax
gradually takes off a bad complexion in
stead of adding anything to make it
worse. 1t has none of the disadvantages
of cosmetics and accomplishes much
fully white, satiny and youthful. Just
get an ounce of 1t at your druggists and
see what a few days treatment will do.
Use like cold cream.
Another effective summer treatment

biness-is a -tightener made by dis
