gela was covered with confusion.
And on the following day her ia
theirs letter arrived.
Monster Vidal was to call for her
in two weeks and they were to be
married in the parish. church near
the convent. Afterward he would
take her to New York upon their
honeymoon. The letter said moth
ing more about Monster Vidal.
Poor Angela pictured him in her
dreams. At one time he was an ell
derby patriarch with snOw-white
beard and a shiny, bald head; at an
other, an elderly business man with
a severe, clean-shaven face; and at
another, a gentle, elderly man with
a pointed beard. But he was always
elderly.
When the message came that the
mother superior wished to see An
gela in the reception room, she near
ly tainted with terror. But, control
ling herself with an effort and many
prayers, she went in.
A gentleman was seated beside the
mother superior. And he was elder
~. And he was a business man. And
he was severe. And he had a pointed
beard. .
Angela looked at him in horror
Then she blurted out:
81 can't; I can't!'
Cant what, mademoiselle?" in
quired Monsieur Vidal.
81 can't marry you" she sobbed.
"Am so homely, them" inquired
the elderly gentleman, whose face
softened wonderfully as the twinkle
came into his eyes.
81 don't know you," wept Angela.
The mother superior, who had ris-
en- to her feet, seemed about to in
tervene, but the gentleman checked
her with a gesture.
81 think, mademoiselle, that it is
your wish to obey your fathers in

7 time is pressing, I will take you away
as soon as your trunks are packed"
Angela staggered from the room.
The mother superior, with one arm
about her, tried to console her.
1T is a shock" she said, ''to meet
ones future husband on the day of
ones marriage, for the first time. But
it may not be so terrible as you sup
pose, my dear"
An hour later, when Monsieur VI
dial paced the reception room impa-
tiently, Angela appeared, looking like
a dropping lily. With ceremony
Monsieur Vidal conducted her to his
car. And they started, through
the slushy snow, toward the parish
church, wither the mother superior
was already fastening, by the lane,
across the fields.
Monsieur Vidal turned to Angela.
'eYou do not relish becoming my
wife," he inquired gTaVely.
ooh, yes" answered the girl ''For-
give me, monsieur"
Monsieur" queried the other.
'Is it not your intention to call me

placing his arm about the girl. And
here we are at the church, my dear,
and in a short hour you will be a

Angela gulped and nodded. But she
knew that if the young man with
brown eyes were anywhere near she
would fly for protection to his arms.

Of DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. leader OF
the National American Woman's Suf-
frage association, to the formation Of
a woman's party, was announced to-
day In a statement issued by the head
quarters of the association.
"The minute we make suffrage a
party ISSUE" said DR.. Shaw, I'VE lose
our friends in the party that is to be
'disciplined.' and we cannot afford to
do that. 1t takes a two-thirds major
ity in congress to pass any federal
amendment, and no party in power
has controlled that much power since
1869. Consequently. it is up to us to
maintain a strictly nonpartisan atti-
tude."

Metz to Mulhausen. Whether the Ger
mans or French will strike the first

1t means, however. that the Germans
are anticipating a great drive by the
allies on the western front and are
planning to meet the emergency. 1t
may be that French and Russian troops
will be used in an attack on the Alsace-
Lorraine front. while the British, now
100000 strong, attempt an offensive
in Belgium and northern France.
Swiss newspapers publish reports
that the inhabitants Of many villages

SENATORS ADOPT
FARM LOAN BILL
Creates Chain of Rural Credit
Banks - Intended to Pro-
vide Cheap Money For
the Farmers

Washington. D.. c.. May 6.-The
Hollis farm loan bill. %embodying the
administration plan for establishing a
system of rural credits, passed the
Senate last night by a vote of SO to 5.
Senators Brandegee, Lodge, Oliver,
Page and Wadsworth, all republicans,
voted against the measure.
The bill, after almost two weeks OF
debate. passed the Senate practically
as reported by the banking committee.
An amendment by Senator Smoot re-
ducing the salaries of the farm LOAF
board from $4,000 to $500, which
was adopted by a vote of 26 20 6 in the
committee of the whole, was recon-
sidered when the bill reached the Sen
ate. n was defeated. 29 to 81. all
though eight democratic senators voted
with the republicans for the reduction.
A somewhat similar bill had been re-
ported by the House banking commit
tee and it is said it will be brought up
for consideration in the House soo
Lik the Senate measure, it would
create a chain of farm loan banks. but
it differed in e of operation.
Outlines Of System.
The Senate bill provides for a nom
partisan farm loan board to consist of
the secretary of the treasury and four
others having general control of u
farm loan system of ~ or more land
banks, and OF farm loan associations
AAAONoA WiAASA III ASS0dllS MoQ.N OS
made.
Each land bank would have u capi-
tai stock of at least $500, goo, to be SUBJ
scribed by the government if not taken
by the public. The farm loans associa-
tions would be cooperative. made up OF
10 or more farmers who would obtain
a charter from their district land bank.
A farmer desiring to become a Dor
rover would be required to take stock
in the loan association equal to 5 peg
cent of his loan; the association in turN
would take an equal mount of stock
in the LAND bank, which would aplrais.
the security offered and make the loan
through the association. On mort
ages amounting to $4,000 i; bank
might issue a like amount of farm lean
bonds, which would be secured by all
II and banks.
Cunmins Amendment Beaten.
All profits would go to the loan assoc
borrowers who are shareholders in
them. Loans might be on as long terms
as 36 years n on the amortization
plan, SO that with each interest pay
ment the farmer could pay a small
amount on his principal. Loans would
be limited to first mortgages and could
not exceed SO per cent Of appraised
value of the land.
The principal fight on the bill was
directed at the sections exempting the
banks and their mortgages from taxa
ton and permitting employees to be
chosen without regard to the civil serv-
ice. Both were defeated by party votes.
Debate lasted more than a week on an
amendment by Senator Cummins to
strike out the exemption clause, which
was attacked as unconstitutional, but
defended by democratic senators as
necessary to evade the Irregularities in
state taxation and insure a uniform
rate of Interest to the farmers in the
various states.

FRENCH RETAkE WHAT FOES
GAINED IN TWO MONTHS

Paris, May 6.-The French successes
on the left bank of the e are Of
greater Importance han indicated by
first reports, according to a semiofficial
statement issued last night. The French
troops, by a skilfully prepared and bril-
liantly executed operation, have thrown
back the Germans on the northwest
side Of Deadman's Hill, beyond the line
held at the beginning of March. h
enemy has thus lost by a single stroke
his gains painfully made by two months
Of continuous costly attacks.
The Germans, surprised by the sud-
denness Of the French attack, were
thrown back in disorder and suffered
exceptionally heavy losses, particular
ly from the preliminary bombardment.
The large number of Germans killed
explains why so few prisoners were
AIKEN.
West Of the Mouse the Germans yes
terday evening strongly attacked
French positions north of Hill 304, says
the official statement this afternoon,
but they were repulsed along the whole
front attacked, except in one or two
points in the advanced trenches.
An attempted attack on the trenches
at Capy, south of Somme. h state
ment adds, completely failed.
East Of the Meuse and in the Woevre
there was an intermittent lombard
ment.

Put Il up To Wilson.

Put It UP To Wilson.
All the other members of the cabi-
net made similar replies. 1t was made
plain that President Wilson would de-
eide after studying the official text.
While the general tone of the Ger
preston, officials took the position that
the language was mmaterial if the
guarantees We're real.
Germany's declaration that she has
issued new orders to submarine COM
manders not to attack without warn
ing merchant vessels recognized by
international law was considered the
chief point. The German view of mer-
chant vessels as defined in it's declara-
ton of February s, of it's purpose to
sink armed ships without warming and
the American view as defined in that
armed ships memorandum made pub
lie recently differ in several points.
Some officials believed that for this
reason the controversy had now come
to the point where Germany's future
action would determine the course of
the United States.
The refusal of the German govern
ment openly to admit the attack on the
Sussex was considered only incidental
to the main issue.
Until President Wilson himself de-
cides whether the German note is ac-
ceptable there will be no announce
ment of the attitude of the government.
The cabinet was in session two hours
and a half-the longest meeting held
for several months.
Members of the cabinet were uncom-
municativc. all saying that no further
steps would be taken until the official
text WE. placed before President Will
son.
The private view of officials appar-
emily met the demands Of the United
States unless an Interpretation We're
placed on them to lead to attack on
merchant vessels armed for defensive
purposes. The tenor of the German
note. however. was considered unsatis-
factory.
AS the cabinet members left the
White House several indicated their
view that the United States would have
to wait and see whether the new or
ders to submarine commanders were
carried out.
At the state department after the
cabinet meeting it was stated that no
action" a been taken on the German
note, and in view Of it's length and the
necessity of digesting it carefully. it
was improbable" that any decision

Two views were current in Off
cial circles. One was that Ger
many has declared her intention
of abandoning her present meth
DDS of submarine warfare" as de-
manded by the president and that
the American government might
have to wait to see whether the
abandonment would be affected.
The other was that the United
States having already attempted
to induce Great Britain to give up
it's interference with neutral COM
merce, and having told Germany
that it cannot discuss with her its
negotiations with Great Britain,
has no course but to break diplo-
matte relations with Germany.
