Washington, D. c., March Is. -
The senate Wednesday afternoon
adopted the Hay-Chamberlain resolu-
ton for immediate increase in the
regular army to 100000 men.
The only fight on the measure was
by Hoke Smith, who proposed an
amendment that the men be enlisted
for two years, instead of the usual
four He announced himself as OPP
posed to long term enlistments, and
said in the present instance he was
sure men could be obtained more cas-
lily if they could be assured they
would not be taken from civil life too
long.
Senator Sherman of Illinois intro
duced a resolution to withdraw the
1891 regulars from the Philippines
for service on the Mexican border.
Sherman said the Philippine troops,
acclimated to tropical temperature
and trained to guerilla warfare, would
be ideal forces to repel attacks by
bands of murderers and bandits" He
would leave the 5,755 native scouts as
the whole Philippine garrison.
The resolution was passed in the
house late on Tuesday. without OBJ
lection or debate. and with only one
dissenting vote.

TENSION Is RELIEVED
BY CARRANZA ATTITUDE
assures President and Members
of Administration.

Washington, d c., March 16 -
With American troops across the
Mexican border Wednesday night
seeking Villa and his bandits. Presi-
dent Wilson and officials of the war
department resigned themselves to
wait, possibly many days, for news of
development in the chase
Information that forces OF the de
facto Mexican government were CO.
operating with the expedition from
the United States served to relieve
tense anxiety that had been appar-
ent on all sides over the possibility
of Carranza troops revolving against
their commanders and attempting to
oppose the entry of the Americans.
Reports told Of Gen. Oregon, Car
ranza's new secretary of war and
chief military leader ordering Gen
Gavira, commander Of the Juarez gar
rison to cooperate in every way with
the United States forces. This was ac-
cepted as convincing proof of the at
titude of the Carranza government.
While apparently there Las been no
formal discussion of what shall be
done with Villa. If he is captured. it
is regarded as probable that If taken
alive the bandit leader will be turned
over to the de facto government for
prompt execution

LLOYD-GEORGE STILL SEES HOPE
OF IRISH HOME RULE

Replying to a request for his views
on the breakdown of the negotiations
for putting the Irish Home Rule act in
to effect Immediately, David Lloyd
George few days ago said, in part:
81 don't despair about an eventual
solution of the Irish problem, in spite of
the recent failure to reach an agreement
between the nationalists and the union
lists. :
Il have always been an ardent home
ruler during my political career, and
still remain one. In my opinion, ma
ton which can and does produce such
soldiers as the Irish troops who are now
fighting by the side of their fellow
Britons from all over the empire with
valor almost indescribable, and which
gives us such intellects in all branches
of life, can and must rule ITSELF"
Asked whether any further steps
would be taken to bring the Irish parties
together, Lloyd-George said:
Il, for one-and | am sure the mem
bers OF the cabinet are with me-cer-
tainly hope that the last word has not
been said. 1t is great pity that the
scheme was not accepted, for then the
Irish parliament would have been an
accomplished fact. The Irish people
would have obtained what they have
struggled and suffered for during 50
many generations.
AN actual home rule parliament
would be in being for fve-sixths of
Ireland and once that were established
nothing in the world could have de-
stroyed it again. If home rule parlia-
ment worked we'll, as I feel certain it
would, the apprehension of Ulster would
be removed and the Ulster counties
would soon come in of their own free
will, for the Ulster men are Irishmen

But Humanity Seems Not Yet
Ready to Adopt Them.

At night the cave woman lay awake
while her mate slept, watched the fire.

the bowling of the wolves.
when all the wolves are dead,'
she used to think, "how good life will
become! My man and I will walk
| where we will in the forest, and we
will be great friends, and very tender
and wise with each other. And what
children we shall rear when I know
all the magic herbs that cure their
sickness and they need never die of
famine!"
With such dreams she smiled and
slept.
Well, all the wolves are dead. But
women do not yet walk freely with
men in the forest. Most men bid them
not CAD about looking for wisdom and
tenderness, but stay by the campfire
twining scarlet berries in their hair;
and most women obey. And children
still die from famine and sickness, for
the world seeks more busily for more
scarlet berries than for food and heal
ing herbs.
But, bitterest of all to the dead cave
woman, though the world has concen-
trated so extravagantly upon the
adornments she invented, it has for
gotten the meaning that set her whole
body glowing as her fingers twined
them in her hair. Those berries were
the badge of courage Of the heart and
of the body; they were an invitation
to love and motherhood. These things
have had no deadlier foe than ele
