Women Run Berlin Cars.

Berlin, Dec. 24-Twenty motor
women have begun their duties on
three Berlin street railway lines. They
constitute the advance guard of the
force which eventually will displace
all but the oldest men on the lines if
the war continues. The women have
undertaken almost every conceivable
male occupation, but these twenty are
virtually the first to be entrusted with
positions involving the safety Of the
public.

cation. will leave tomorrow for Chi
o.go 10 attend the semi-annual meet
ing Of the secretaries assembly of the
Uinojs Retail Merchants association
Wednesday and THURSDAY
tomorrow evening there will be a
meeting Of the committee appointed at
,bo annual convention at Ottawa last
Ialy 70 provide 4 plan for a statewide
Taaue. The committee will draw up a
,snor. which viii be considered by the
secretaries assembly and if found
feasible will be presented to the next
roesting Of the state merchants asso-
cation for final adoption
.aer sae plan considered now"
said Mr. KiDgsbury today. I'VE will ad-
wise that each separate association in
the state make its own rating book
and send a copy TO the state secretary
wbo will have published a book con-
tanning the report of all merchants or
ganizations In the state. But there are
a number Of obstacles which we will
have 10 consider and overcome before
We advise this.
In the first place. many cities do
not publish a rating book at all. When
merchant is in doubt as to the rating
o,a new customer he calls up the sec
retary of the local association and
learns from him the exact standing the
nstron has. Again other cities publish
books only every few years and there
is no set time that all of the local or
ganizatious issue their rating journals.
Print at Same Time.
In order that the plan could be sue
cessful we would have to have all of
the associations publish their individ-
ual books al the same time ard then
the state secretary would receive all of
them al once and could have the book
for the state completed in short time.
This would mean that practically every
person in the state in cities where we
have associations would be rated, and
when new family moves to city
the merchants could learn the rating
Of the new arrivals In the place in
which they formerly lived.

on the Mexican situation, and they may
be seen by any reputable person at my
office.
AS to the authority quoted by Mr..
Tumulty. the so-called vicar general OF
Mexico City. Canon Paredes, both the
department of state and Mr.. Tumulty
knew long ago that Canon Paredes
was an intruder in an ecclesiastical Of
fee. and that he was appointed by Car
rama in spite of the fact that the Mex
lean constitution proclaims that there
shall be no union between church and
state. Canon Paroles was allowed to
act TO avoid further scandal and for
no other reason. He has not the con-
tidence of his archbishop. and it is my

Chicago. III, Dec, 10-Editor The
Argus: have before me a copy Of
your paper of Thursday, Dec. ?, 1915,
and have read your editorial headed
"Tumulty's Statement" I must re-
spectfully protest against the asser-
ton that politicians and mischief
makers have been industTiously cir
culating the most malicious lies about
the neglect of the government to do its
duty This refers, of course, to Mex
lean affairs. Inasmuch as ] am the
author of THE Book Of Red and yell
low" which has had a circulation of
100000 copies both in English and in
Spanish in the United States, and has
had a special edition published in
Spain, believe that it will be very gem
orally conceded that this reference has
me somewhat in mind. ] am neither
politician nor mischief maker
1t is true that I have been at the head
of the effort to take care Of the un-
fortunate refugee clergy and teachers
from Mexico, and that l collected the
money which gave them clothes and
food and housing. 1t is also true that
was chiefly responsible for the pub
lication OF. the stories Of the outrages
against the Catholic church in Mex
leo. 1t is not true. however that the
stories of the outrages were circulated
for political motives, as you imply On
the contrary, / think that men high in
the councils of the democratic party
will concede that I acted with the ut
most fairness. and that I did every
thing in my power to prevent the un-
fortunate affair from getting into poll
tics If it is in politics today Mr..
Tumulty is to blame; for, while nego-
tiations were in progress for confer
Iences on the subject directly with the
resolutionists themselves, in the hope
that by agreeing TO do justice they
would remove this thorn from the ad-
ministration's side. Mr.. Tumuity wrote
his letter and nullified every attempt
at settling the difficulties through con-
ferences. Indeed. on this very day l
was to have left for Washington to
meet those who claimed to be repre-
sentatives of the de facto government
of Mexico.
/ do not know if malicious lies"
we're circulated by others, but l do
know that what myself wrote in The
Book of Red and Yellow" is the truth.
] have on hand affidavits setting forth
in detail the outrages which occurred.
II have even affidavits which are too
bad to publish. and which / would hesi-
tate to give to the public unless my
hand we're forced, II is easy for Mr..
Tumulty to deny the outrages against
nuns. because he knows that the last
thing that any decent Catholic gentle
man would do would be to publish
ANYTHING that would indicate even re-
motely who these sisters might be.
Their position is certainly not an en-
viable one. But MIR. Tumulty makes
no attempt to deny the other outrages.
He makes but passing reference TO
the murders of clergy, and that in his
quotation from Paroles. His argument,
drawn from the fact that there are no
records showing outrages against
Rock Island Argus., 1915-12-13

aside every American principle that
our forefathers had fought for. 1t is
easy TO raise the cry of religious big
otFy. We have not been guilty OF rails
ing it, but If 1t is raised and raised
over this Mexican question, some good
but blinded men may not stop to think
that what has been permitted in Mex
leo, through the protection of the Unit
ed States, may be only the first step
OF anarchy to taking from Americans,
Catholic and Protestant. principles tnat
have been the glory oil. the nation.

sisters in the state department, has
been characterized by the New York
Sun as the setting up of a straw man
to be knocked down. The records of
the state department are secret. They
have never been given to the public,
in spite of demands for them; and it
goes without saying that special rep
resentatiyes" are reporting what they
are obliged to report. How long would
Silliman stay with Carranza if he told
the truth
But records are in other places, and

On account of the heavy extra ex
pense attached to the Elaine seria
pictures the management had decided
TO drop the new series 'The Romance
of Elaine" but owing to the big de-
mand of its patrons and always ready
to please it has been decided TO turn
this series which will start today, with
The Lost Torpedo.
Craig Kennedy's marvellous inven.
tion, a superforee torpedo to revolu'
tionize warfare, has been stolen. Ken,
nedy himself has disappeared, although
Elaine has a note from him begging
her not to grieve whatever happens,
for he is safe. And then, one night,
on barren strip of land jutting out
into the Atlantic, fisherman, con.
cealed behind rock, sees the peri
scope of submarine rise sees a
mans head and shoulders rise seem
ingly out of the sea, and sees a pair of
athletic arms strike out bravely for
the shore.
Elaine and jameson are visited by
a distinguished looking foreigner VIII o
tells them he is a secret service agent
from Washington, and begs to get in
formation with regard to Kennedy and
the lost torpedo. Elaine's, dog, dig
ging with its forepaws in a pot of
palm. unearths the lost torpedo and
carries it to the attic, where he drops
it behind a trunk The torpedo's pro-
peller, however. has been left in the
paln-pot. where Marcus Del Mar. the
foreigner, finds it. Elaine is suspect
ed by him of having concealed the
torpedo. The fussy old gentleman, in
Del Mars tracks since he left his
rooms, is an interested spectator. He
is unaware that Del Mar has spies
guarding the house, and is set upon by
them. Rushing madly into the con-
servatory, he faces Del Mar. Both
draw their guns, but the fussy old
gentleman fires first. His gun is loaded
with bullets containing an overpower-
ing gas. Both Del Mar and Elaine
fall suffocated to the floor. How the
fussy old gentleman escapes is fitting
climax to this most thrilling episode,
and will cause you TO wonder at his
cleverness. will cause you to wonder
who he is. You win see more of him
in the next episode called.
