FAILED TO MAKE BRITAIN DRY
English Cabinet Took No Action Re-
garding Matter of Barring Drink
Victory for Vets

London, April S.-Prohibition advo-
Gates lost immediate hope for dry
England when the British cabinet ad-
journed an important conference yes
terday afternoon without reaching a
definite decision on the prohibitions
question.
In nearly every quarter the an
nouncement that Lloyd George was
to meet the liquor men to talk COM
promise was accepted as an admission
of defeat by the prohibition forces.
At the Friday conference the extent
to which the government will go in
regulating the liquor traffic during the
remainder of the war probably will be
determined.

RUSSIAN ADVANCE CHECKED
Czar5s Forces So Far Unable to PEN
citrate Austria's Last Defense
French Are Making Progress
Around Verdun.

London, April S--The Russians, hav-
ing carried the SUBMITS of the princi-
pal chain of the Beskid Mountains in
the Western section, are coming down
the slopes to gain possession of the
southern spurs, some of which they al
ready have captured, according to the
official statement from Russian head
quarters.
Further to the east, however, beyond
the Laborcza Valley, the Austrians APP
parently are holding the Russian
troops in check.
French Fight Desperately On.
PROFESSIONALLY heavy reinforce
ments have come to the support of
both the opposing forces and the Aus
tro-Hungarians now have added to
their strength numerous German con-
tingents which are giving them power
full aid in checking the Russians ad-
vance through Uzsok Pass, the one
line of defense which the Russians
have not succeeded in breaking.
Between the Meuse and the Moselle
the French, like their Eastern ally, are
on the offensive, attempting to force
the Germans to give up st. Mihiel and
the region in the vicinity of that now
famous town. The Germans in their
official report claim to have repulsed
all the French attacks, but a semi-offi-
cial statement from Berlin says &C
cording to "a prearranged plan, the
German outposts retreated from Reg
melville and Fey-en-Haye." The
French some time ago reported the
capture of these towns and claim to
have made progress almost daily since
then.
"The Price Is Always Paid
The operations around Verdun were
begun several days ago by the French,
whose offensive was undertaken for
the purpose of forcing back the Ger
man line at st. Mihiel Claims are
made by both of important successes,
which can be reconciled by the fact
that the official statements issued
bear respectively on different parts of
the line. The one thing certain is that
wherever an advance is made the
price is paid.

THOMPSON WINS IN CHICAGO
Republican Candidate Elected Mayor
BY Estimated Plurality of 10000
Heavy Vote Cast

Chicago, April 7.-William Hale
Thompson was elected mayor of Chi
cago today by an estimated plurality
of 10000. Returns from 1,400 pre-
cincts out of 1866 indicated that he
had carried the entire Republican city
ticket to victory.
- Women voted for the first time at
mayoralty election in Chicago and in
complete returns showed that the rela-
tive percentages of men and women
received by Thompson and Robert
Sweitzer, the defeated Democratic can
didate, were approximately the same.
About IS per cent of the three-quar-

According to election officials this

WILLARD DEFEATS JOHNSON
Young Kansas Giant Knocks Out
Negro Champion in 26th Round
at Havana, Cuba

Havana, April 6-Jack Johnson.
exile from his own country, yesterday
lost his claim to fistic fame as the
champion of the world,
the title being wrested from him by
Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy, the
biggest man who ever entered the
prize ring and a white hope" who at
last has made good.
The day after tomorrow Johnson,
his wife and a little group of friends
will sail for Martinique, there to await
passage back to France, where John
son proposes to settle down and lead
the life of a farmer. raising pigs and
chickens. There is no doubt that he
is through with the ring
Willard, who is being acclaimed as
the new champion, is going back to
the United States to win the fortune
which was denied him when Johnson
got $4,000 before the fight started,
Willard taking only small share of
the net receipts. Just what his share
was is not known
Yesterdays fight probably has no
parallel in the history of ring battles
For twenty rounds Johnson punched
and pounded Willard at will, but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed, until at last
he seemed unable or unwilling to
go on.
Johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than a series of posings. So it
was until the twenty-fifth round, when
Willard got one of his widely swinging
windmill right hand smashes to John
sons heart. This was the beginning
of the end.
Topeka, April Cess Willard is a
native Jayhawker. He was born on a
farm near the little town of Emmett,
in the eastern edge of Pottawatomie
county, about eighteen miles north
west of Topeka. Until a few years
ago Emmett didn't even have a rail-
road.
Jess is the youngest of four broth
ers. Marion is an employe in the To
peka postoffice. John is a farmer in
Oklahoma and Robert is farmer near
st. Marys. The father died few
weeks before Jess was born, in 1887,
and the mother died seven years ago.

Washington, April 7.-Intimations
have come to the American govern

consent to the naturalization of Next
CO City, as proposed and agreed to by
the Villa-Zapata forces.
No definite answer has as yet been
received to the American note on the
subject sent to the two factions, but
preliminary reports to the state de-
partment indicate that General Car
rama is unwilling to accept the pro-
posal- 1t is believed, however, that
arrangements may be made for unin-
terrupted passage of trains to and
from Mexico City and Vera Cruz,
though a decision on this question has
not been reached by Carranza-

Of a small body of reinforcements at

the widely separated Villa camps sur
rounding Matamoros.
New York, April six Spanish
nuns, who said they were driven from

Cruz and Havana. The nuns, who were
in charge of Mother Superior Simona
Neito, said that for seventeen years
they had conducted a hospital in con-
nection with their convent at OriZaba.
When a CarranZa order was issued in
February expelling all priests ana
nuns from the state of Vera Cruz they
decided to remain to nurse twenty pa
tients in the hospital. They appealed
in vain for protection, they said, to

Privileges Of Manx Women.

Manx women, too. have special
privileges, says the London Chronicle.
Every female adult, widow or spinster,
in the Isle of Man, whether she be
owner, occupier. or ledger, has vote
for the house of keys elections.
Every widow enjoys half of her hus-
bands personal estate, and has a life
interest in his real estate, and she
cannot be deprived of this by will;
whilst her written consent must be OBJ
tanned to all transfers and deeds af-
fecting her husbands property. On
the other hand, no married woman
can legally own in her OWE right
either money or property in the Isle of
Man; have no separate estate un-
less specially protected before mar
rage, and can make no will without
the leave Of her husband.

The sun was shining and the day

doctors friend-saw only disease in
the crisp air and bright skies.
How many people, like him. are al
ways seeing sickness ahead and pre-
pairing for it! They expect it, antici-
pate it, and consequently have it. 1t
is only a block or two to a physician;
a drug store is on every corner. and
the temptation to send for the physi-
clan or to get drugs at the slightest
symptom of illness tends to make
them more and more dependent on
outside helps and less able to control
their physical discords.
One of the most unfortunate things
that has come to us through what We
call higher civilization" is the killing
of faith in our power of disease resist
ance. During the frontier days there
were little villages and hamlets which
physicians rarely entered, and here
the people were strong and healthy
and independent. They developed
great powers of disease resistance.
There is no doubt that the doctor
habit in many families has a great deal
to do with the developing of unfortu-
nate physical conditions in the child.
Many mothers are always calling the
doctor whenever there is the least
sign of disturbance in the children.
The result is that the child grows up
with this disease picture, doctor pic
ture, medicine picture in it's mind. and
it influences it's whole life.
The time will come when child
and any kind of medicine will be con-
ton. Were children properly reared
in the love thought, in the truth
thought, in the harmony thought; were
they trained to right thinking, doc
tor or medicine would be rarely needed.
One of the tendencies of i'll health
IS to make one morbid. People who
are constantly thinking about their
ailments often develop morbid pas
sion for sympathy. They want to tell
everybody of their aches and pains, to
describe their symptoms.
Have you ever known a woman who
has acquired the doctor habit, wom-
an who loves nothing in the world
quite as well as an opportunity to tell
the doctor of her ailments? She has
poured them out to unwelcome ears, to
forced listeners, till she longs for some
one who can really appreciate it all,
who sympathizes with her in her
troubles, so she sends for the doctor or
goes to see him.
This becomes almost mania with
some women who have few outside
activities to divert them. Their minds
naturally revert to themselves, and
they become saturated with the poi
soned thought.
Confidence is a powerful factor in
health. We should thoroughly be-
lieve in our ability to keep ourselves
well by healthful, harmonious, happy
thinking. So long as we doubt our
ability to maintain health, SO long as
we picture to ourselves disease and
physical weakness, it is impossible to
attain to a strong, normal physical
condition.
The time will come when we will
no more allow discordant thoughts in
our mind than we would scatter thistle
seeds over our gardens. Knowing well
that thinking is building, our thinking
will be reflected in our bodies.
