longs to the Teutonic speech.
The latter has several principal
branches, such as the scandinavian.
from which come the Danish and
Swedish tongues; the high German,

and the low German, which is d-
vided into Tristan, Dutch and Flem-

related to this last group. But all
the Teutonic languages are only one
branch of large racial family,

Women's Clubs of the Nation.

It is announced that the general federation of womens clubs will be held in New York city from May 2S to June B inclusive Owing to the wide spread interest in the gathering, club women from all parts of the country preparing to be repre- scented. The federation formed in New York city twenty-six years ago, and the May convention, the thirteenth in the history of the federation intended to be in the nature of home coming.
 The remarkable growth of the federation in these years will be made the occasion for a grand jubilee n the city of it's birth. It is estimated at least 20,O00 club women, acting accredited delegates will be in attendance to represent 2OOOOOO club women. Obviously, convention of this magnitude will require much preparation. Committees all ready laying out the under the general direc ton of Mrs. William Grant Howard, who will be the official hostess.
 It is said that delegates will be present not only from all parts of the continental United States but from Panama, the Philippines. Hawaii and Porto Rico, for womens clubs have been organized where ever the American flag flies.
 The federation is confined to clubs organized in any single behalf for the objects of the constu ent clubs widely diversified. That ali of these objects are worthy and the organization in the best interests of is fully assured by the member ship of the federation We believe that there is part of the country which has been benefcialy affected by tEe wOmcns clubs than in Arizona. No ether single force has contributed much the advancement made by Arizona territory anc then as state the women's clubs.
 It is indicated by the tentative program sfor the convention of the general federation that all the time of the delegates will not be devoted to business. A large number of luncheons. dinners and receptions have been arranged and doubtless many more will be held during the convention is expected that Presi dent Wilson will consent to deliver address and that many other eminent and women will grace the occasion with their presence

There is neither paradox casuistry in the statement that in the long run the Wilson method leads to and the Roosevelt method leads to peace.
 In this war, for example may assume that the Roosevelt attitude toward the beigerents would have been about follows A warning to Ger many before Belgium invaded which would have established a great international precedent: warn ing 10 Great Britain that it live up to the spirit of international law the seas, followed by a reminder that the embargo could be used force it. Taken early, British lawbreaking would not have been difficult to prevent. the block ade' of Germany had yet become a popular measure and England still aglow with the spirit of righteousness
 With Great Britain living up to the law, the Ger man subma -:ne could longer have been put forward a retaatory measure and the United States would have had it's the threat or complete blockade in illegal submarine warfare was adopted Moreover, the Roosevelt pol icy would, assume, not have allowed the Ger proclamation stand with a mere unanswered protest It would have permitted the Lustania catastrophy until the warning which published in the papers by the German bassy had been satisfactorily explained.
 The Roosevelt method would have been to threat en and demand guarantees the basis of the Ger doed Lusitania. Mr. Roosevelt would presumably not strict accountability" meant. And all the while his words would have been emphasized by ostenatous preparations for war
