women want In the matter Of work.

women should be trained In health and
morality, and then we demand that
all adult women shall: be left free by
law, church and custom, to marry or
mot, have children or not, continue TO
work or not, as their individual needs
and consciences dictate. i
with ours false ideas of the divis-

the largest class OF delicate women

things women don't want Among
these are bad health, absurd clothes,

In 1912 the United States and Great

adjust long pending %pecuniary claims
OF British subjects against the United
States and American citizens against
Great Britain, to which tribunal claims

Mr.. Lansing was made agent OF the
United States in charge Of the presen-
tation of the American claims to the
tribunal and OF the defence OF the
British claims. Several sessions Of
the tribunal had been held and a num-
Der OF claims adjudicated when Mr..
Lansing vas taken from that work
last year TO become Counsellor Of the
Department of State.
Up to hat time the matter OF Mr..
Lansing's politics never had been a
subject of discussion. By reason of
his long service under Republican Sec

But 1t is an aid. and that Mr.. Lansing
mas had that aid is admitted.
Until the European war began the
machinery of American diplomacy had
not attracted much attention in this
country. The American people were
more interested in domestic politics.
Hence 1t was that, despite years OF
service that had made him well known
abroad, MIR. Lansing was little known
to Americans when, March 20. 1914. he
was made Counsellor OF the Depart
ment of State on the resignation OF
Or. John Bassett Moore.

Is a man who never pushes himself
forward. Always has this been SO. At
Amherst he was especially interested
in psychology and allied subjects as
taught by Prof. Carmen. Possibly
these studies have been responsible for
his attitude. Jiu-jitsu is the art in
