w. C. T. U

The meeting yesterday afternoon with Mrs. J. c. Young was one of un usual interest and one which every member should have made a desperate effort to attend as it was the time for the election of officers. Quite a good number was present and the following women were chosen to lead the ranks another year:
 President, Mrs. H. A. Sykes: Vice President, Mrs. John M. Putnam; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Sam O.. Logan; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. J. c. Young; Treasurer, Mrs. D. L.. McRae.
 Now dear women, let us rally to their support. No matter how eff cient the officers, they can do little without cooperation from the member ship. Let us resolve to attend the meetings, wear the badge, pay the dues promptly, take the Union Signal and thus be member worth while.
 The retiring president gave com prehensive report of her California trip, emphasizing the part the ". C.. T. U. is playing in its exhibit in the educational building. She saw many white ribbon bows on the women at. tending the Exposition, and they al ways evoked a smile of recognition.
 The w. C. T. U. exhibit received thc grand prize for the best exhibit-those competing were the Anti-Saloon Lea que, the Prohibition Party, the Ma tional Temperance Society, The New York Society for the Treatment of the Insane, and an exhibit from Paris and Uruguay
 The Union voted to disband until Oc- tober. throwing their efforts through September to -he distribution of lit erature and posters at public meet ings, picnics, etc.
 The Union was glad to have as a guest, Mrs. Jim Woodul whom we hope will become one of us soon.

ing of the note to Germany. Washing
ton dispatches to the Herald reported
the German propaganda at work
smoothing down resentment in the
United States and preparing the way
for a compromise settlement advan-
tageously Germany.
This propaganda has now taken an
other turn. An effort is being made to
precipitate an issue with Great Britain.
This time the propaganda has a dual
source. 1t is inspired not alone by
Germans. who very naturally desire to
have the United States make a breach
in the wall of the allies blockade. but
also by Americans. and. 1t must be ad-
mitted. by Americans of high official
rank and Of great influence.
These Americans are working on
the theory that IL they can force the
United States to take action at this
time with Great Britain they can some
what mollify German auger. and at the
same time divide opinion in the United
States, Or at least disintegrate the
resentment engendered exclusively

MRS. CARMAN GOING ON
STAGE TO PAY DEBTS
Would Be Terrible to Make Finan-
cial Capital Out of Tragedy"
She Writes.

New York. May 23.-Mrs. Florence
Conklin Carman, central figure in two
murder trials. gave out yesterday a
signed statement about four newspaper
columns long. which she says is her COM
plete and final statement in regard to the
murder of Mrs. Bailey in the Office of
DR.. Carman on June 30 last. She ad-
mits that she has accepted an offer to
go on tho stage, hut says that she does
so only to pay off the debts caused by
her trial.
Most of the statement is historical
review of the case. explanations OF
various POINTS brought out against her
at the trials and the emphatic declara-
tion that those who inCriminated her In
the murder of Mrs. Bailey were not tell
ing the truth.
My plans for the future are these.
saws Mrs. Carman. First to swallow
my pride and to earn just enough money
to pay Mr. Levy and Mr.. Graham and
others for the unselfish and enormous
amount of work they have done for me.
II would he terrible thing to stoop
so low as to make financial capital out
of an event involving the loss of human
life. and I know my friends know
would starve before i would stoop to
il. On the other h., what Is more
contemplate than to make no effort to
ray honest debts. / WILL therefore, do
whatever l am about to do to pay my
obligations
