Farm women do not get enough
credit for what they do to promote
the interests of the home. Sometimes
they are made to feel more like slaves
than partners. This is wrong and
a relic Of dark ages, when women
were considered chattels.

FOR PEACE POLICY

WORLDS COURT CONGRESS-
GIVES CREDIT TO PRESIDENT.
(By Associated Press.l

CLEVELAND, O., May 13.-Henry
Clews, the noted New York banker,
addressing the Worlds Court Con-
gress here today, praised President
Wilson's effort to preserve peace. He
said that while yielding none of his
lifelong devotion to republican princi-
pies, he could not refrain from CIV
ing due credit to the president and
the democratic administration for its
accomplishments in the cause of
world peace.
President Wilson has done noble
work" said Mr. Clews, addressing the
members of the congress. He further
expressed the belief that universal
peace through the medium of an in
ternational court would ultimately pre-
vail.
John Hayes Hammond, and Alton B.
Parker former democratic nominee for
president, were among other promi-
nent speakers addres the congress to-
day. Mr. Parker devoted much of his
talk to urging the people of the Unit
ed States to make known at once their
will as to the proposition of this gov
ernment joining league of the worlds
great nations, Immediately after the
present war, looking to the avoidance
of future armed conflicts. He said
President Wilson would be charged
with any official action to this end
and ought to be clearly advised of the
sentiment of the American people on
this point.

LONDON, May 13.-In an action be-
tween ships of the fleet and shore bat
teries at the Dardanelles today, the
British battleship Goliath was torpe-
doed and sunk. Only 20 officers and
140 of the crew of the warship are def
initely known to have been saved.
In announcing the loss in the house
of commons this afternoon Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty
estimated the total loss of life in the
disaster may reach five hundred per-
sons. The Goliath was one of the
older battleships of the British navy,
mounting four ten-inch guns in her
main battery.
During the action the British SUBJ
marine Ella penetrated the Turkish
mine fields into the Sea of Marmora
where two Turkish gunboats and one
transport ship filled with Ottoman
troops were torpedoed and sunk Fol-
lowing its daring exploit, the Ella re-
turned in safety to the feet at the
west entrance of the straits.
Damage inflicted upon the defenses
during the action was tremendous,
and fully compensates, say British
naval officers, the loss of the Co
Hath.

ALLIES REPORT
GAINS IN EAST
AGAINST TURKS
lBv Associated Press J

LONDON, May 13-Unofficial reports
from the Dardanelles reaching London
at noon indicate the Allies have won
important successes upon both sides
of the straits within the past forty
eight hours and that Turk troops de-
Tending the Ottoman capital are slowly
retreating toward the Sea of Marmora.
The effectiveness of the powerful forts
at Niagara and the Narrows, have been
perceptibly impaired by the fire Of
the allied fleet.
Following the bloody encounter on
Monday when forty-five thousand OF
toman soldiers were either killed,
wounded or captured, English colonial
forces operating on the Peninsula of
Gallipoli pushed steadily forward, a
similar movement being undertaken by
French forces on the Asiatic side OF
the straits. Both movements received
powerful assistance from warships of
the feet.

PETROGRAD, May 13.-Information
contained in newspatches from Lem
ber and Pzremsyl, near the Galician
frontier, is to the effect that heavy re-
inforcements have reached the Rus
sian army defending that province and
that Grand Duke Nicholas is prepar-
ing to renew offensive operations
against the Austro-German army
which recently executed its brilliant
coupe, compelling a Slav retirement
in certain sections of western Cali
cia. The Teutons troops there are de-
scribed in today's dispatches as be-
ing greatly fatigued, the result of re-
cent hard fighting and forced marches
over rough country,
The number of fresh troops added
to the Russian Galician army are de-
scribed by newspaper correspondents
as Overwhelming, but the official
censor, declines to permit the publica-
tion of figures concerning the actuaI
strength of military forces in that
region. The war Office in its official
statement issued shortly before noon,
refers to the arrival of fresh troops at
the front, and asserts that "all possi-
bility of final Austro-German victory
in Galicia has been eliminated" There
is little of no news of events trans
piring in the Baltic provinces permit

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.-The
president was occupied this morning
in the task of putting the finishing
touches to the note to Germany de-
manding guarantees that attacks on
merchant ships carrying non-combat-
ants shall end, and for financial repa-
ration for the violation of American
rights since the beginning of the pres
ent war.
The note, it is stated on authentic
authority, is firm in tone and indicates
Enthusiastically the attitude of he United
States toward such attacks as that
resulting in the sinking of the Lusitania
as one not to be trifled with. A tone
of friendliness pervades the communi-
cation, however, and there is no init
nation that war will result in the
event Germany fails to concede the
demands made therein.
The full text of the note, Secretary
Tumulty announced late this morning
will not be made public until this has
been communicated in code to Ambas-
sador Gerard at Berlin, to be presented
at the German court. Simultaneous
publication of the whole communica-
ton will be authorized, probably late
this afternoon or tonight, in London.

memorial to the Nun of the Battle
field Mrs. ella Ryan jolly, national
president of the Ladies Auxiliary Of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, is
now drafting bill to be presented to
congress when it convenes in Deem
Der, so that law may be enacted which
will give permission for the erection
of this long delayed monument to the
sacred memory of the nuns of the bat
tlefelds of the Civil War.
AS the browning accomplishment of
her years of service as head of this
great organization of women, Mrs
jolly plans to see this memorial
erected in Arlington, and'it was for
this reason that she consented to serve
another term as president, to which
Office she was unanimously reelected
at the national convention in Norfolk
in July, 1914.
At this convention resolution levy
ing an assessment within the Auxil.
iary for the purpose of providing funds
for the monument was introduced and
adopted with enthusiasm. The amount
to be raised for this purpose was fixed
at $4,000, to be contributed entirely
by the Auxiliary within two years.

MUNE FROM DESTRUCTION

The curious fact that crucifxes and

mune from the general destruction in
France and Belgium makes great inn
preston upon the British soldiers.
One of them, Lance-C Corporal j. H.
Morgan, of the East Lancashire regi-
ment, writing home, says: "It is very
queer that when the Germans shell
these Catholic churches the crucifix
and the Virgin always remain safe"
Father Van Laeren, o. S. B., who is
working among the refugees in the Ex-
eter district, tells of marvellous es-
cape of crucifix in presbytery near
Alost. One morning after Mass the
villagers we're alarmed by the boom
ing of cannon on either side of them
the place being between the conflict
ing armies Father Van Laeren found
shelter in cellar. After his incar-
ceration he discovered that shell had
struck the presbytery wall, entering
the priests bedroom, where it explod-
ed. Although the mantelpiece and the
other contents of the room were COM
pletely wrecked, crucifix which
stood upon the mantelpiece remained
unchanged.

surviving member of band of twelve
nuns who left Chicago with the famous

out among Civil War battles as one
of the most fiercely fought and bloody.
They worked throughout the days and
nights on floating hospital near Pitts
burgh Landing. In recognition of her
services the sister was offered pen
sion by the government and later Civ
en- medal.
After her return from the Civil War
Sister Mary Elzear served in st. Xav-
ier's Academy until the great fire of
1871. Then she went to Mercy Hos
pital.
Sister Mary Elzear was born in Ire
