submitted TO the United States.
through Ambassador Won Hernsforff.
another written proposal Designed to
bring about q settlement Of the con-
sroversy over the sinking Of the
Lusitania-
from the agreement any mention Of
tho warning issued by the German
embassy the day the Lusitanin sailed
from New York Mention OF this
warning In the last proposal was re.
earded az conveying the idea that
none OF the Ioo-odd American lives
would have been lost had the warning
been needed.
1t liz understood also that Germany
has eliminated her proposed general
reservation of admission of wrongdo-
ing on the part OF the submarine COM
rnander. to which the United States
objected.
1t was also stated authoritatively
that Germany makes references to u
desire to see the United States take
action In regard to the questions In
voiving the freedom Of the seas
Germany reiterates clearly. 1t is
said, that the torpedoing OF the Lusi-
taniA was an act of reprisai for the
British blockade OF the German coast
Extreme regret again is expressed that
a ,-esricans lost their lives and Ger
many freely offers repAration In the
form OF indemnity.
tne attention OF the United States
is called to the fact that such forms
of reprisals have been discontinued
as the result of negotiations with this
government and to the fact that
broad assurances for the future have
been given.
Consideration OF public opinion in
this country and in Germany were
said 10 have played prominent part
in the drafting Of the document.

Equal Suffrage Notes
Worr,an,e New Place.

The early woman suffragists were
virtually martyrs to their opinion
when they claimed the Importance of
educational opportunity and industrial
training for girls: Right of speech was
denied them In educational institu-
lions. sixty or seventy years ago. on
the importance of training girls I
meet conditions that were inevitable.
The war has crystalized sentiment at
a seven-league boot pace. upon this
theme Of "girf training" and under
the spur Of necessity a.training Is re-
garded as imperatiye to save the war
ring nations.
says Lord Aifedaie to the Leeds
English High School girls: The
Il lining of girls becomes every day
question OF greater and greater Inn
portance." He tabooes the old IDEAL
that a woman's place was the home
and her position chiefly ornamental.
Women had to take the place Of men
and were now doing work. which It
had been considered impossible for
them to do. and they were doing 1t
very well. There were few employ
ments in which women could not be
trusted now to fulfill the functions OF
male workers. The world would
never be the sane agnin, Cher
ished ideals must 90 and new situa-
tons arise. hence the importance d
proper training FOR gtrfH.
Yet the hunger strike of the Eng.
lish sufYrage ties for the recognition Of
this self-same principle. less than
two years ago, made some fools laugh,
and probably with their lack of mag
nation continue TO do 30.

STATES EXHIBIT 4
 FILED AWAY 0N ST

The liquor that sprinkled the streets of Phoenix yesterday represented more than one hundred convictions secured by County Attorney Clyde M. Candy in as many bootlegging cases.
 During his term of office there have been but three acquittals in cases where the defendant has been charged with violating the prohibition amend ment and there have been as few dis mssals and those have been at the request of the county attorney himself.
 The price the men paid who con- tributed to the gigantic cocktail yes terday was usually three months in the county jail and a fine of $500 or as many days In q few instances Judge Stanford reduced the sentence to 30 days and s100 fine and when the con victed man was i'll and his confinement endangered the lives of others the pen atty was merely a fine.
 The most severe sentence passed by the court was in the case of R. H. Fuqua who was given eighteen months and a fine of $500 The case has been ap- pealed but the fourteen cases of whis- key which the officers confiscated when he was taken into custody

PHOENIX PASTOR
 |S S00N T0 WE'D

Not always when the pastor of church makes a hurried business trip to an adjoining state does such good news precede his return to his flock as that which reached Phoenix slightly in advance of Rev J. L. Marquis, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, who returned yesterday from Redlands, California. From Redlands papers it was learned that Rev. Marquis is shortly to enter the ranks of the bene- diets, bringing a charming bride into the parsonage as companion and helpmeet.
 This is what the Redlands Daily Facts on Wednesday had to say:
 One of the prettiest and most in teresting affairs of the holiday week was the dinner given by Mir. and Mrs. J. A. Kimberly on Monday at Kimber- ly Crest, at which time the announce ment was made by Mrs. Hamilton of West Highland avenue of the engage ment of her daughter Miss Mary Ham ilton to the Rev. J. l.. Marquis, of Phoenix. Arizona.
 The table was decorated with gorge ous scarlet poinsettias and dainty fla vors, and throughout the house were hung Christmas wreaths and garlands of green. There were about twenty guests present.
 "Dr. Marquis was heard in the Pres byterian pulpit of the city during the summer past and is a man of large ability in his profession"
