Chicago Visitors Attracted by Historic
Relic Of Famous AboIitionist.
Chicago.-The Lincoln jubilee and
haif century celebration, designed to
show the progress of the colored race
In America during the past fifty years,

similar exposition held In commemora-
tion Of the first half hundred years
since the civil war.
One Of the very first objects to at
tract the attention Of the visitors on
the opening day was hand printing
press such as was used fifty years ago.
This little relic was surrounded by q
cluster Of automobiles Of the 1915
model, which formed striking con-
trast In mechanical construction. The
printing press was the historic one ON
which Owen P. Lovejoy printed his
abolition newspaper at Alton, Ill, bis
reward being death at the hands Of
mob. The press was thrown into o
river. The motorcars ON exhibition
are for the inspection Of wen to do col

81 almost wonder whether these
gentlemen in Plattsburg can be taken
seriously. Their step is certainly any
thing but demonstration Of efficiency.
They are falling into exactly the same
blunder as England. which sent her
skilled artisans to the front as fast as
they enlisted, and is now laboriously
sending them back to the work for
which they are indspen sable-those of
them who happen to be still alive and
in possession of all their limbs"
To Mrs. Blatch it seems anything
but intelligent to take men in their
full maturity. leaders of the. business
and the official world, and under the
greatest difficulties teach them how to
dig a trench, thing a raw boy of
twenty would do infinitely better The
fault of the breaking down of the Eng
lish defence lies not with work in the
trenches. but with the lack of leader

"Mr. Bacon is out there-a former
ambassador. Is really all he can do to
serve his country in time of dire dis

to his right shoulder? Are they really
in earnest. or are they playing to the
gallery?
"And Mayor Mitchei-the head Of the
largest city in America-does he mag
inc that in this crisis through which
his country is passing his work lies
in putting W tents? He ought to be
right here using his experience and
powers in organizing with men of his
own calibre a plan Of defence, where
each man and woman is in his or her
appropriate place.
at is a mistaken idea that Ger
many's efficiency and success lie in
her huge military machine. Germany
is paramount to-day because she has
known how methodically to use her
people. So for instance the scientists

TEARS END VICTORY
In BATTLE OF $40
Wife Captures Enemy Husband
in Alimony Drive, Then
Saves Him from Jail.

Sergeant Charles Leslie Milford, OF
the 7th Regiment, who recently re-
turned from Camp Whitman, faced the
fire of an irate wife yesterday. Stand
ing on the firing line in sham battle
was play compared to the experience
that the sergeant had.
Armed with an order of arrest, Mrs.
milford marched on her husband at
the Office of the South American Ex-
port Company, at 116 Broad Street
where. unaware of the proximity OF
the enemy, the sergeant was taken
prisoner The invading force took him
to the Sheriff's office, where he was
held hostage for the payment of $40.
Sergeant Milford, whose head is
bald and whose mustache is gray, never
finched while under the watchful eye
of his wife. In true soldierly fashion
he sat and awaited his fate. Far more
nervous and distressed over this turn IN
the matrimonial war was the wife VINO

conference, Mrs. Milford declared, i

yer on the telephone and told HIM Oh
her determination, only TO learn that
she would first have TO pay her at
torney's fee, which amounted 70 Slo.
When Mrs. Milford saw that 1t was
a case of pay the lawyer or have the
sergeant 90 to the bastile, she spoke
up. "I1l go up to the bank, on l25th
Street, and get the money SO the
woman who had her husband arrested
because he owed her $40 alimony
rushed up to Harlem TO draw money
out of the bank to obtain his release,
While she was gone Milford got IN
touch with a friend, who came TO the
Sheriff's office with the money.
Mrs. Milford was a very regretful
cantor when she returned breathless
from Harlem. Her money was not
needed. but she gave her husband
many expressions of remorse for hay,,
ing caused him so much trouble, and
these she delivered with an accompani-
ment of tears. Then husband and wife
left together.

BY ALISSA FRANC.

"ONSCRIPTION for women! Not
a tentative cry from England
this. from an England which
half timorously talks of conscrption
for men. but a suggestion advanced by
an American for Americans, and by
Mrs Harriet Stanton Blatch. president
Of the Woman's Political Union. at
that.
And not from the standpoint of mill
tarist or pacifst does Mrs. Blatch
speak, but from that Of the democrat
who wishes both men and women to be
prepared to do their share for their
country in time of tragic necessity, al
though she insists primarily that
international difficulties between ma
tions should be adjusted by judicial
court of some sort, with an army and
navy TO enforce its DEGREES"
But the former not being an achieved
fact, Mrs. Blatch goes on: 81 am of the
opinion that America should adopt the
only democratic national defence pos
sible-conscription.
81 would have conscription on plan
somewhat similar to that enforced IN
Switzerland at the present time an
enlistment of two months at first, to
continue for shorter periods each year
"a system that would harmonic all
sections of our country. In my opin-
ion we want to be made a much more
homogeneous people. and therefore
those that enlist from the East should
be sent to the West and those from the
South sent to the North and a perfect
understanding would be brought about
between various sections.
This conscription imposed upon men
should also be obligatory for women,
who as citizens, but not as soldiers,
should know how to efficiently do their
share in coming to the aid of their
country in time of calamity.
Girls should be forced to train in
various departments of the civil SER
vice. in the postoffices. in all the mu-
nicipal departments, and to women
would apply the same ideas as to the
men-that is to say. send them to vari-
Gus parts of the country. so that they
may get a wider knowledge Of their
home land"
We talked Of the Plattsburg encamp-
ment, whose programme, however, does
not bear out the ideas Mrs Blatch has
for citizen preparation for this coun-
try's defence. To her it seems tragic
that the United States. in starting to
defend itself, should fall into the very
mistakes that are proving England's
ruin.

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
The Garden Course Given by Henry Parsons New York
University Demonstrates the lncalculable Value of
Work with Flowers, Vegetables and the Earth
in the Education of Children

Perhaps you arc familiar with on
ions and lettuce and carrots and peas
when they jump at you from the
ground, instead of lying docilely in a
dish. But have you ever seen peanuts
growing, and tobacco and cotton and
sugar cane?
Have you seen Jobs Tears growing
on bushes, like lovely gray pear-shaped
pearls, that devout maidens string for
rosaries? We came TO plot that was
blaze of gorgeous color.
Flower BED Glory.
"These are our commonest flowers"
Mr.. Parsons remarked, apparently un-
impressed by their regal magnihcence.
"Marigolds, sunhowers and golden glow.
Anybody can have them, you know, if
he has a few feet of dirt to plant
them in.
Here are the German cornfowers.
You know the story? When the Kai-
ser's great-grandmother Queen Louise,
was escaping from her enemies with
her children their carriage broke
down. and for hours they hid in a
field Of cornfowers. The children made
wreaths and hung them around their
mothers neck and about her waist.
Every year, they say, the palace is
decorated with cornfowers in memory
of that day. It's a gentle story TO
think of in cruel time.
Here are the poor mans finest green
vegetables. chard and New Zealand
spinach. They grow as fast as your
appetite. And here are more flowers,
poppies, snap-dragon and mignonette,
scarlet zinnias, cosmos and candytuft.
They're all hardy, you know, and the
seeds are very cheap.
Isn't it absurd that we deprive our
selves of the enjoyment of all this
beauty by ignoring in our system Of
education the earliest of the arts!
WHY Not in Public Schools?
'Tf this work were put into the pub
lie schools every park, vacant lot, roof
and window sill in the city would Bios
som like an English lane.
q don't believe" Mr.. Parsons end
ed. "in urging people to go into agri-
culture any more than believe in
pushing them into medicine or teach
ing. They're definite arts, for which
natural gifts and special training are
required.
But believe most emphatically in
giving every child chance to get back
to the earth and learn that he can
create beauty in a patch Of earth, how
ever tiny"

DR.. DAVIS BACKS
MURTHA REFORMS
Sanitation and Segregation the
Chief Remedies Proposed
for BlackWelrS.

At the request Of DR.. Katharine b.
Davis, Commissioner of Correction
Warden John J. Murtha, in charge OF
the penitentiary since Warden Hayes
left for his vacation on July 20, has
made a report on proposed policies for
the institution. OF forty-fve sugges-
tions. many have been Endorsed by the
commissioner.
Sanitation and segregation are the
main items in the report. Warden
Murtha suggests that on each tier two
cells be joined and sanitary plumbing
installed, to minimize the use OF the
cell bucket. This scheme will be passed
upon when the cost is known.
Regarding segrc Il, the first class
ification will be the separation Of the
sick from the well. Inmates afflicted
with tubercular and venereal diseases
will be isolated. Also, youthful offend
ers under twenty-one years old will
be separated from old-timers. The
shaving cup and brush will be abol-
ished.
A la ger steam laundry and the
marking Of clothes Tor identification
has been approved.
The short prison haircut will be abol-
ished.
If money can be found, all cooks,
walters. BARRIERS and bakers VIII wear
white coats, caps and aprons,
Sanitary drinking cups will be USED
While Commissioner Davis Is not IN
favor Of allowing newspapers ana mag
azines in the prison, she VIII not inter
fere with Warden Murtha's plan TO IN
troduce this innovation. ,,
The keepers club will be abolished
temporarily. The "doubh. evll VIII
be reduced By placing era CO.'S IN Vhe
corridors.
An effort will be made TO give more
exercise and recreation in the open AIR.
The list Of articles which prisoner
NAV purchase for his own use from the
commissary Will be increased Dut the
amount prisoner will be allowed 10
spend will be restricted. ,,,,
"As a whole" said DR.. Davis, wa ar
den Murtha's suggestions are admira-
bic and meet with my approval lhey
indicate that he desires d humane ana
