Blundering Man

From Judge.
 Unlike adorable woman, men vary. There are at least, two kinds of them. Unfortunately. both are tolerated-tol- erated equally, just because they are men. There is the ordinary man that everybody recognizes as indigenous. and there is the one who never quite achieves mans estate, whom we all pity. It is he. this weakling, who has made all the trouble for both sexes. It is he who has wronged the gentler and superior one.
 And well may he blush-if he does blush The full responsibility for our topsy-turvy social state is his. Had he shown himself efficient in any possible way, let alone cultural one, he would have made and kept woman happy in her blooming, legitimate sphere. As if
 s his essential task of leadership is annulled, and lovely femininity is buried under the rubbish of the nonde- script.
 The rare normal man is unable to lift his weak brother out of the pit into which the latter has fallen. The calam- ity invited upon himself baffles the powers of small numbers The normal man is in the minority. His preroga- tive has about disappeared He no longer points out to woman her duty. She would not look toward it if he did. She has seen so few real men lately, men that size up to her lofty standards, that she is quite persuaded they are extinct. She at least has her wits mobilized More; they appear to dominate the field.
 Man in general has so permitted this development that to the stronger (sic) sex remains no subtle vestige of tacit chivalry. The new woman ignores any possibility of mans concern and ideals rising higher than fashionfng for her the hobble-sxirt and the crinoline. Small wonder that she underrates him. Yes, when regal man turned dull, kind, stupid, indolent. he erected a pedestal, placed his sometime queen ad : miringly upon it. then forgot that she was statue. and forgot, too, that she had become to believe herself in the position to command. She had been di- vested of her humanity in it's most pre- cious sense, and, of course may never recall 1t in the new order of things For, has she not, of her own genius, created a new order?
 Naturally. man has fallen. Masculine magnanimity has disappeared. An, the pity of it! And in its wake has per- ished something without which the earth can no more revolve-properly. that is. The balance of order is dis turbed; certain important relations are ruined. Man is guilty of the weakest links in the chain of his sex Can he ever repair them? Let him try. Let him begin the task by finding for us the normal woman who has sung sweetly down the ages. Let him explain, if he can, the incomprehensible shouts for feminism-whatever that may mean all about his ears! Let him revive the enchanting feminine woman!
 But he is probably too late. as usual He will continue to blunder along, and all that is to be said may be summed up in a few words. He monopolizes the vote, and yet he cannot even find his collar button.

WILLING ID RETURN
 PAPERS ID EMBASSY
Bernstorff Must Designate
 Those That Are Official
WILL RETAIN COPIES
Marshall Says Revelations of Von Der Goltz as Published in England Are Not Complete-New Indictments.
 in Spy Case Expected Soon

Washington. April 21-The state and governments willingness to return to the German embassy all the papers seized in New York with the arrest of Wolfe Won Igel, which Count Won Bernstorff will identify as official. Photographs of the seized documents have been made and will be retained.
 Count von Bernstorff has protested vigorously against the taking of the pa pers and it was said at the state de-, partment that Secretary Lansing was con sidering the necessity of official apology.
 Should the amba ssador assert that all the documents are official, it is under stood they will all be returned to him, but it was said to be the present in tention of officials to keep all the photo graphic copies.
 Officials were interested today in learn ing if Count Won Bernstorff would declare any documents to be the property of the German embassy. The papers were said to disclose several subjects of an unusual nature which had not before come to the attention of this govern ment.
 Definite connection with the German embassy would be confirmed, it was be- beved, by declaration that the docu- ments are official. If none of the docu- ments are declared official, it was under stood, the United States will use them all in the prosecution of Von Igel, his asso- ciates and possibly others, as yet un- named
 Whether Secretary Lansing would send a note to Ambassador Bernstorff ex- pressing regret for the seizure, was not announced, but such action also is be- lieved probable It was suggested that the state department might delay action

NO VOTE NOW ON
 GOOD ROADS BILL
Measure Displaced by Rural Credits Bill, Which Means There Will Be
 No Road Legislation

Washington, April 21.-After three days debate on the Bankhead good roads bill, the Senate adjourned late today without reaching vote, and under the recently adopted legislative programme the meas
 ure now will be displaced by the rural
 credit bill. This is generally regarded as meaning that there will be no roads legislation at this session.
 Senator Bankhead, in charge of the bill which would appropriate s750OO.OOO during the next five years to be used with an
 equal amount contributed by the states
 for road building, tried unsuccessfully tc get unanimous consent to vote on his
 measure. Senator Lodge refused the nee essary consent.
 During the debate Senator Harding ob- tained the adoption of an amendment which would require the states to guar antee to maintain the roads built by fed eral aid for a period of 10 years. Senator Shoot offered as substitute for the
 Bankhead bill-itself substitute for the Shackelford bill passed by the House the so-called Bourne bill which would provide for the federal government ex- tending it's credit to the states for $ years to the extent of $500, ,00O00O for road
 building purposes.

NO NEGRO BISHOPS IN METHODIST CHURCH
Adverse Action on Proposi- tiOn Announced by Secre-
 tary of Conference

Chicago. April 21-The Methodist Epis- for negro bishops according to an an-
 nouncement today by Dr. Joseph B.
 Hingeley, secretary of the general con
 ference. The resolution submitted to the
 various conferences received an affirma-
 tive vote of 1921 against a negative vote
 of 34S1 which was 6S0 votes short of
 the necessary two-thrds.
 Dr. Hingeey also announced that the
 proposition giving bishops the rights of
 veto in ecclesiastical issues was lost by
 a majority of 1871 ministers and 96o lay men.
 The Colorado proposition granting hon. orary privileges to retired ministers and absentee voting on constitutional mat ters had a majority of 2012 and will be- come law by favorab ble action of the gen eral conference at Saratoga Springs These three questions have been voted on by the Methodists since 1892. Had the proposition for bishops for races and languages carried, negro bish- ops would have been provided for work among negro people.
 Dawson, Pa., April 21.-The conference of the board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church went into executive session at the home of Mrs. Sarah B. Cochran, near here, today, with p bish- ops present. Although the chief subject to be discussed at the meeting will be the proposed consolidation of the north ern and southern branches of the Meth odist Episcopal church, the rule in the church discipline forbidding card play ing, dancing and theatre-going will also come up for consideration

New York, April 21-The revelations ir the confession of Horst Won Der Goltz as published today in dispatches from London, do not contain all the evidence in regard to German activities that is ties, it became known today.
 All that Won Der Goltz wrote in his confession was presented to the jury by him as a witness sometime ago and a great deal more, it is understood, which has fitted in with evidence obtained by federal agents from other sources
 The grand jury will resume it's investi. gation on Monday and District AttorneS Wood said he expected new indictments soon.
 As far as could be learned, no request has been received by the New York fed eral authorities for the originals of the papers seized from the offices of Wolfe Von Igel, and they are still locked up ir the safe of District Attorney Marshall MT. Marshall forwarded to Washing. ton today the evidence collected by fed eral agents in regard to the lease o1 the premises at 50 Wall street, occupied
 
 that the lease was taken in Von Igel's name. This evidence was desired in con. nection with the settlement of the ques ton as to whether the offices were rent. ed by the German embassy.
 SEND PAPERS
 District Attorney Marshall later an. nounced that he had been directed tc forward the originals of the Won Ige papers to the state department, and thai the request would be compiled with Pho. tographic copies have already been sent to Washington.
 District Attorney Marshall today took cognizance of, but declined to discuss, ar editorial in the Gaelic American, whcf asserted that while the editor was be fore the grand jury on April 2, Assistant District Attorney Wood had said that Von Ige was connected with the Ger man embassy at the time the alleged plot to destroy the Welland canal was matched September, 1914. MT Marshall said he was forbidden to discuss matters that took place in the jury room. The editor whc testified Was John Devoy. His editoria charged that Von Igels arrest was a vio- lation of international law because he had from the first been an embassy at- tache.

Novel Church Lighting

London. April 6.-(Specia1)-The neces- sity Of lowering church lights at night services throughout England on account of air raids is a difficulty that has been overcome by the authorities of Kinsley, a small town. They have adopted the simple expedient of dispensing with them altogether. The hymns or psalms are thrown onto sheet by limelight and the lessons are read by the light of small electric torches. This was found to be cheaper method than screening all the windows.

 The newcomers received an ovation as they passed through the denseIy packed crowds.
 One of the superior officers of the Russian troops received the Associated Press correspondent in his tent at Camp Miraubeau. The officer expressed satisfaction over the opportunity that had been given the Russian troops to join hands with their French broth CTS.
 The real purpose of 4Ais sending of Russian troops to France, said the officer, s'is to demonstrate the pro- found sentiment of admiration and re- spect Russia has had for her ally.
