A Berlin dispatch intimates that
Germany favors arbitrating its differ

sinking of the Lusitania. Unofficial
opinion in Washington is that such a
course would be acceptable only If
Germany agrees to stop her subma-
rine war On merchant vessels pending
a decision.
Petrograd reports that the Russian
troops in Galicia have come to stand
along the river San, and that Pre-
mysl is in no danger of capture. The
Germans are said to have met re.
verses in the Baltic province of Cour-
land and in north Poland, while the
Austrians, in Bukowina, are reported
In retreat along a front of ninety-four
miles. Vienna reports that the Austro-
German advances continue in Galicia,

]. 13ichnohd, Va, May 26. There
is no law in Virginia whereby
loan sharks" can be arranged for
usury. They are liable to prose
cution by victims in the civil courts,
and it is impossible to force per-
son to pay more than legal interest
but there is no law for Furnishing
man, as criminal. for usury. The
case was decided when a loan
shark in this city, indicted for OPP
Grating disorderly house, was set
free by order of the judge, who
held that he could not be indicted
for usury under the general disord-
erlv house statutes. The next legis-
lature is expected to take up this
matter aud to put on the books
law which will make usury a crime.
A change in the Constitution is
to be proposed at the next general
assembly which will undertake the
amendment so that when the selec-
ton of school books is to again be
considere;@ the board to make the
choice will consist of men who are
elected by the people of the State.
This would have saved the people
Of Virginia many thousands of
dollars annually had it been in
operation when the books were
adopted this year. All the men
elected by the people at large stood
for the single list and the bid Of,
fered by Virginia house, and the
men elected by the legislature
stood for imposing the heaviest tax
on the people of the State at large.
The board did one thing that is
not readily understood by the peo-
pie. In providing for the single
list it displaced the grammer used
in the county schools and made
that the book now used in the
CITIES. There will be the sale of
three times as many books had the
board ordered the cities to change
TO the book used in the county
system.
Contracts have been closed for
the decoration of the State Capitol
building for the reunion. 1t is to
be covered with flags, and at night
| four powerful lights are to be so
placed that the building will be
made as bright as day on the out
side. This will be for the benefit
of the people who will want to
come at night after seeing the
parades. The United States flag,
the Confederate battle flag and the,
State flag will float from the three
masts on the building at all hours.
Such was the handling of the
outbreak of the foot and mouth
disease by the State Livestock
Sanitary Board that in every in
stance in which the disease ap-
peared it was confined to place of
origin. The enforcement of the
laws and the payments for cattle
killed cost the State in around
numbers about $4,000. The
disease is believed to be completely
eradicated at this time While in
Virginia the cost was possibly $780,
900, in several other States it has
reached as much as So 900, 900 and
| is far from being stamped out.

Why is woman dissatisfied? Why

achievement for woman that future

Wby does woman chafe under re-

that civilization has clung to since

the tears of sorrow from the face OF
childhood? In it's sacred embrace
every generation has hidden Its race
in shame; .clinging to its motnerIy
folds lettering children have learned
to Dlay hide and seek and from u
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood. Can man think OF
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
err? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears Of regret over his depar
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money
What more does she want?
Can man find It in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one OF
the most powerful political bosses In
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one Of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and he.

The destiny of this nation lies in
