invaded the enemy's territory and
rolled up the decisive score of Is to

Wife OF Negro
Claims She
is White

SAN FRANCISCO July Eff
4ssarts If AAs4ss NJ u i4na sd dsytle, wife
81 d negro dentist, to obtain az an
nulment Of marriage on the ground
that scientific blood test proves her
to be pure white. have stirred up a
warm discussion among physicians
and chemists here.
Professor Frederick r. Gay, Of the
University Of California holds that
there Is no blood test which will de-
termine whether a person has trace
Of Ethiopian blood.
"All human blood, regardless Of race,
responds to the same reactions" de-
clared DR.. Cay. Il proved this by a
series of experiments at Harvard If
any man claims he can tell by a blood
test the difference between a black
man and white, he is either taking
it, or he has discovered a process that
will make him famous. We have not
got far enough along to tell that diff
erence between them yet.
eBut we are to tell the difference be-
tween human blood and animal blood.
This is done by immunating rabbit
against human blood and then testing
the sample with the immunized blood
several days later. II the rabbits
blood coagulates the sample it is hui
man blood. This test is frequently US
ed in the criminal courts.
"The only safe manner Of telling
whites from blacks is by comparing
the color under the fingernai1s. This
is the only method known to science"
Mrs. Lytle declared, however, that
her physician has clearly established
her race by means Of a scientific blood
test, so it seems probable that there
will be clash Of scientists when the
case gets to court.
Mrs. Lytle, who signs her COM
plant Margaret Buckner, says she
married Dr. Lyle when under the i'm
preston that hehad negro blood in her
veins. Taken from a convent by a
negro Nanny" she says she was
raised firm in the belief that she was
part negro. After her marriage,
white friends ridiculed the claim that
she was colored, and the blood test
followed.

THOMPSON-CLARK WE'D
DING TODAY.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-,
June 30.-Bowling Green is ac-
quiring a son-in-law today. He
is James McIlhaney Thompson,
of New Orleans, newspaper
publisher and today he takes
Bowling Green's little girl as his
bride. Miss Genvieve Clark,
daughter Of Speaker Champ
Clark, Of the House Of Repres-
entative is Bowling Green shady
who after today will be Mrs.
Thompson, and the city and all
Pike county, except, perhaps a
few mere Republicans, are at
tending the wedding. True
there are some national cele-
brities here on the invitation Of
the bride and her father, but
Bowling Green is inclined to re-
gard them as intruders at a
family affair. Outsiders, except
prominent Democrats, and home
guard Republicans aren't held
veryhighly in this stronghold of
the houn dawg the former being
regarded with suspicion and the
latter with pity, because Pike
County always Votes straight. !"
The speaker Of the house was
understood to regard his new
son-in-law rather highly, but
Bowling Green withheld udge-
ment until it went out and pick
ed up Thompson's record. Then
theBowling Green weekly paper
said: I'VE are all glad that Gren-
evieve is going to marry Demo-
cratic editor-a true American,
born in Virginia and self-trans-
planted to Louisiana" And the
paper added:
"Hail to Love; for, oh, twas he
Who won the glorious day;
Along the conqueror's way"
Strew the wreaths of victory
There was more of the piece
but the excerpt shows how Bowl
ing Green feels about the Thorn

NO DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE OVER
LOSS OF The ARMENIAN
GERMANY CANNOT BE HELD AC
EQUITABLE FOR THE DEATH

D0ED SHIP.
Especial to The Progressive. J

WASHINGTON, July LA late
dispatch from Ambassador Page to
the State Department announces that
the British Admiralty has informed
him that he steamship Armenian was
engaged in Admirably business.
This announcement practically set
ties all possibility of rupture between
the United States and Germany over
the sinking of the British steamship
by German submarine and the con-
sequent deaths of score or more of
American citizens, in that it places the
Armenian in the Transport class and
as such she was a war vessel of the
British navy upon which neutrals can
only travel upon their own response
bility.
Mr.. Ell. Benton, survivor of the
Armenian in describing the sinking of
this ship, said that the German sub
marine fired many shots at the Ar
menian before launching the torpedo
which sent it to the bottom. The cap
tain of the Armenian, he said, ordered
the ship to take zigzag course as
soon as the submarine was sighted
But the German underseaboat was too
fast and was well able to keep in place.
Mr.. Benton described this submarine
as fully three hundred feet long and
capable Of making a high rate of
speed.

They lack judgment and reasoning

cause they are worth less. do not
say women are utterly unfit to be in

We're an employer, would hire men
IN preference to women. would con-
slider women too much Of risk. There
are many exceptionally well-balanced
women but even they are likely to fail
when it comes to matter Of reason

"a saleswoman may increase the
profits Of her department, but ask her
how she did it, and she can't tell you.
She took chances, trusting to her in

equal pay with men in business until
they develop correct reasoning powers,
and fear that will not be for long
time-not perhaps, until new race is
