The old saying, Convince a man
against his will and he's of the same
opinion STILL would seem to apply
more especially to women, says the
Boston Globe. If we may trust the
accuracy of a dispatch from Pitts
burgh, giving a report of a stalk by
Prof. Munsterberg before the students
OF Carnegie Institute of Technology
In describing an experiment with a
group of Harvard men and a group of
Radcliffe women, who were asked to
tell which of two blackboards contain
ed the more white spots, Prof. Mum
sterberg is reported to have said that
81 per cent. of the men and 40 per
cent. of the women named the right
board, but after the matter had been
discussed by the class, each side at
tempting to convince the other of its
correctness, a second vote showed
that IS per cent. of the men and only
4S per cent. of the women made the
right decision. Commenting on the
experiment. the psychologist is said
to have declared that women form
their opinions and judgments as rap
idly and as accurately as men, but
when they have an opinion they stick
to it, and no amount of discussion can
change it.

WILSON IS ANGRY
SONG SUNG AT ARMY AND NAVY
DINNER CONDEMNED BY
PRESIDENT.
MAY MEAN A COURT MARTIAL
Officers Amazed at the Order For an
Investigation by the Department
Wilson Resigns His
Membership.

hington.-President Wilson has
formally withdrawn his recent accept
ance of honorary membership in the
Military Order of the Carabao, COM
posed of regular anG volunteer officers
of the army and navy who served in
the Philippines during the four years
succeeding the Spanish-American war.
Earlier in the day the President or
dered an investigation of satires and
travesties on the administration pol
icy towards the Philippines, as por-
trayed at banquet of the CarabaoS IN
Washington Thursday night. The af-
fair was attended by Secretaries Red
field and Daniels and Postmaster
General Burleson, Justices McKenna
and Handkerchief of the United States
supreme court, members of Congress
and hundreds of army and navy Of
ficerS.
The demand for an investigation, to-
gether with intimations from the
White House that court martials and
severe reprimands would not be sur
prising as a result of the banquet
caused a sensation in army and navy
circles here.
Through his secretary, President
Wilson communicated with members
of the cabinet, expressing indignation
that officers of the army and navy
should sing songs containing profane
epithets toward "a people whom the
United States was endeavoring to as
sist to self-government and civiliza-
ton. No effort, according to White
mouse officials, had been made to
keep the banquet private
1t was made plain at the White
House that, while general burlesque
of the administration peace policies
and thrusts at Secretary of State
Bryan and others were deeply re-
scented, because they came from army
and navy officers, the chief objection
was to the spirit Of hostility shown to
Philippine independence, as the prob
lem is being worked out by the pres
emit administration.

conferred on the subject and called
upon Rear Admiral Thomas t. How
ard, U. g N, and Major General
James Aleshire. U. s. A. the two

NO CAROBAO COURT MARTIAL
If a Trial Were Ordered the Officers
Would Not Convict Their
Comrades.

Washington.-The Cardiac dinner
incident probably will go into army
and navy archives through a repri-
mand and not through court-martial of
the officers who produced the skits at
the organization dinner the other
day. Secretary Garrison and Secre-
tary Daniels are reported to havs
reached the conclusion that no court
martial of army or naval officers
would render a verdict of guilty in the
case of brother officers charged with
something which no service man will
admit was worth dignifying into an
issue.
