ENGLAND BRINGS UP
BOMB PLOTS AGAIN

garding this alleged failure of the
United States government to sup
press such activities, the British
note is largely a reiteration of the
British contention that the black
list policy, being directed entire
ly to the governing of the trading
operations of British subjects Is
entirely within British rights.
Even though the military situa-
tion of the allies has greatly i'm
proved, Viscount Grey declared
there is still a long and bitter
struggle in front of them and one
which in justice to the principles
for which they are fighting, i'm
poses upon them the duty of en-
ploying every opportunity and ev-
cry measure which they can legi-
mately use to overcome their OPP
ponents."

OFFICERS
QUITTING
By Gilscn Gardner

WASHINGTON ID. c., Nov. >.
A flood of designations sent by
militia officers is pouring in on
the war department and 355 have
been ACCEPTED by President
Wilson in three months.
This is probably less than half
of the number of designations that
have been RENDERED.
Data as to the latter have not
yet been compiled by the war de-
partment, but officials estimate
that fully 700 militia officers have
sought to get out of the service
since the president ordered the
militia to the border.
Nearly nine per cent of all COM
missioned officers ordered to the
border have succeeded in separat-
ing themselves from the services!
And it is estimated by army Of
ficers that fully 20 per cent have
sought to resign!
OF the 355 designations accept
ed in the three-month period 237
were lieutenants, 81 captains, 81
majors and 16 chaplains. i.
The infantry arm of the service
naturally lost the most officers.
No less than 230 of its commits
stoned officers have resigned.
There has been no diminution
in the number of designations re-
ceived daily, and the army officers
say that the end apparently is a
long way off.
Added to this Generalization
among the officers is the equally
serious difficulty of getting men
to fill up the ranks.
The units at the front are only
about 40 per cent of war strength,
ana all efforts to get the remain
ms 60 per cent to ill up the units
have been fruitless.
These facts lead the war de-
partment officials to believe that
! the militia HAS FALLEN DOWN
TERRIBLY IN THE FIRST TEST
TO WHICH 1T HAS BEEN SUB
JECTED.
They realize that congress will
be called on early in December to
consider this matter and these will
be among the facts reported on
the mobilization.

Too much diplomacy IL the
curse of matrimony.
Woman is credited with the
most, and the worst. of 1t.
Her part usually consists in
getting along with him" or put
ting up with" his weaknesses, his
neglect, his selfishness, or some
times his brutality "for the sake
of the children"
Good women disguise this kind
of diplomacy as duty" or "devo-
ton" and they do so much of 1t
that one wonders sometimes
whether marriage as an institu-
tion is worth preserving at the cost
of the pride, self-respect, and mar
tyrdom of some of the best of
their sex.
But, of course, there ARE the
children to consider"
Man Takes 1t for Granted.
Woman also employs art. con-
sciously and deliberately, ito hold
a husband" as II a husband who
couldn't or wouldn't stay without
holding were worth having at all!
And this diplomacy is actually
commended as feminine tact" and
"wifely patience" whereas it often
represents nothing more admirable
than ECONOMIC PROBATION.
Man seldom schemes to hold a
wife's affection. He takes 1t quite
for granted that 1t is going to
stay where it was first set, upon
his own admirable self. And for
tunately for the stability Of the
family, it generally does.
But because Of this security,
marital diplomacy, the diplomacy
of the husband, lacks the finesse
which he fancies 1t to posses.
Craft of tho Weak.
Woman's diplomacy is largely
defensive--the craft of the weak;
mans is offensive-the strategy
of the strong; and, to turn the
verb, it often OFFENDS WOMEN
today in a way which MAN HAS
BEEN CURIOUSLY SLOW TO
DISCOVER.
For example, recall the style of
joke which raises the big applause
in a vaudeville house or a movie
theater. Is 1t not always the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
subject of bomb plots and similar
breaches of neutrality having prac-
tically been buried for several
months, state department officials
today were giving considerable
thought to the importance attach
ed to such outrages in British re-
ply to the American protest against
England's blacklist policy, made
public today.
There having been no recent out
breaks of any consequence by enc
mics of the allies in this country,
the British purpose in laying
stress on the subject has proved
puzzling.
A sharp rejoinder is not unlike
ly, some officials believe.
Aside from the assertions re-

Too Much Diplomacy
Curse of MatrimOny

plomacy practiced upon wife by
husband? The whole gamut of
mems laughter rings out-but how
still are most of the women!
The kind of entertainment
which belittles wives was old in
the day OF Socrates and Xantippe.
1t is not subtle, but it is not CEN
sored, even today.
1t embarrasses, humiliates, stabs
to the heart the nice little ordinary
wife, who perhaps Is already
smarting under the helplessness of
fading beauty or shabby clothes.
She endures-but she DOES
NOT FORGET.
Woman's intelligence is better
trained than it used to be. Modern
woman is either educated or So
phisticated.
To the enlightened femin-
list and suffragist, to the wife
who was once an Observant
girl In the business world,
marital diplomacy Is no long
or secret diplomacy. Woman
has the cipher in her possess
sion. With IL she reads
''dOuble moral standard" as
mans only excuse for about
81 varieties of marital diplO-
macy.
With 1t she has gone straight to
the back of mems minds and has
discovered exactly Just how he
yalues her with relation to himself
and with relation to his child.
And with the power which this
new knowledge has given her, she
has raised herself in a score of
years more than her ancestors
were able to do in score of CEN
| turtles!
Does 1t not look as II man would
soon have to revise his antiquated
system of marital diplomacy?
