But her idea Of the profession for
women is witehood and motherhood.
Here are the woman blacksnith's
views OF life:
All the issues Of woman's life are
centered IN the home.
Is II any more than fair that wo-
man should be permitted 10 ask the
man of her ideals 10 help her found
and operate that home?
Must women, because Of custom
wait only to be chosen by some man
who is not her ideal or else never en-.
ter her life profession!
Every woman, II she is to live up
TO her ideals must do one of two
thtngs-get the special man she de-
sires or live an unmarried life!
Marriage is an episode IN mans
life, Marriage is a wonan's life.
"As the situation stands today q girl
may see the man who Is her ideal, but
must stand in the line and hope and
prag he will come and choose her.

ENTENTE REPLIES
ON mail SEIZURES
DENIES TREATY RIGHTS OF NEU-
TRAILS VIOLATED LOOKING
FOR coNTRABAND.

Washington.-The governments O
the entente allies, through Sir Ceci
Spring Rice, the British ambassador
has presented to Secretary Lansing ;
JOINT reply to the protest made BY
the United States against the seizure
detention and censorship of neutra
mails. 1t declared that no legitimate
letter mail had been confiscated mol
any treaty rights violated, but EN-
phatfcally asserted the allies inten
ton to continue searching parcel post
packages for contraband concealed
under postal folders"
In regard to true correspondence" E"
the note says the allied governments
will continue for the present to re.
frain from seizing and conficating at
sea these correspondence, letters and
dispatches. and that they will insure
the most rapid transition of them DOS
sible as soon as the genuineness of
their character is known"
The vigorous protest OF the United
States against the treatment of neu.
trail mails was based largely on evi-
dence in the possession of the State
Department that while mails had not
always been searched at sea, neutral
ships, upon being taken into British
ports for inspection, had their mails
removed, detained and otherwise IN
terfered with. The reply does not
mention this phase Of the controversy.
The protest was in the form OF a
of instructions to Am
bassador Page at London. It stated
specifically that the American govern
ment was inclined to consider that
parcel post shipments were subject to
the same treatment accorded goods
sent by freight or express.
In regard to parcel post shipments,
the communication says merchandise
shipped under the shape of parcel post
must not and shall not be treated diff |
'erently from the merchandise shipped
n any other way"

$4,000 VOTED FOR
CHARLESTON PORT
HOUSE ALSO FAVORS $1,000. 900
FOR MISREPRESENTATION IN
LAND WATERWAY PROJECT.

Washington.-Eighty thousand dol
lars for the improvement of the
charleston harbor, $4,000 of which Is
lor improving the channel to the sea
and $4,000 for Ashley River. together
with the $1,000 900 for the Norfolk.
Beaufort inland waterway project
were accepted as part of the annual
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
IN the House. Representative Frear
OF wisconsin fought the measure
throughout the session, and its pass-
age was not in sight when the House
adjourned.
Aside from the Charleston and
Norfolk-Beaufort provisions, discus
sion was almost wholly of southern
items of minor importance, extending
as far as Mississippi and Alabama,
and all were retained in the bill as re-
ported. Representative Good of
Iowa succeeded in securing the adop-
ton or a proviso on some of the ap-
preparations, including the Norfolk
Beaufort waterway project, that no
part of the funds shall be paid for
work under any private contract il
the private contract price is % per
cent in excess of the estimated cost of
doing the work by the government.
Representative Whaley of South
Carolina, supported by Representative
Lever, attempted unsuccessfully to
increase the Charleston appropriation
to S175,OOO as national defense prop
osition. He declared deepening of the
river at Charleston was demanded by
the navy in order to allow battleships
to reach the navy yard, and read a
letter from Rear Admiral Benson,
chief of operations, in which the ad-
miral said he believed there should
be a first-class navy yard south of
Hatteras and that Charleston was the
only one that fills that condition at
present" Representative Whaley also
read a letter from Secretary Daniels
along the same lines.
When the vote was called for on the |
amendment, it seemed |
for time that it had passed, but the
count of the tellers showed that it had
failed by few votes.
