not be applied to the total family eX-

which is expended on food.
Retail prices Of food showed an increase
Of about per cent in April. Both beef
and mutton showed an advance OF about
per cent. namely OF from II cents

child had she chosen to live and to
stand the gossip of the world after
cher money, her job, her honor and

Back of the finding Of the girls

Wednesday is the story of the highly
respected young housekeeper in the
girls dOrmitOTy, Northwestern uni
Versity, who allowed brief moment
of frenzied love to wreck her life.
She would have been a mother
soon. But in a letter written to a
friend shortly before she died she
admitted that her love for ''the man"
had turned to hate, although he was
willing to marry her.
For a while she believed she would
stick it out and live in the hope of
finding comfort in the baby that was
soon to come. But then the blow
fell. At Northwestern university,
situated in the very proper Evanston,
they found out her condition. So
they turned her out with a black
mark on her record. Tuesday she
admitted to Alice Cabill, director of
houses at the university, the truth
of her condition. Wednesday they
found her body floating in the lake.
Although the coroner holds to the
suicide theory, the police are not so
certain. They want to find the man
and question him before deciding.

NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
IN MEXICAN PEOPLE

Q~ueretaro, Mex, (yia Mexico City,,
Dec. 27.-At tonight's session Of the
Mexican constitutional congress an
article of the new constitution was
adopted declaring that the NATIONAL
sovereignty exists essentially and
originally in the people; that the en-
tire public authority springs from the
people and is instituted for their bene-
fit and that the people have the in
alienable right at any time to alter or
modify the form of government"
The article says It is the will OF
the Mexican people to continue as 4
representative republic composed OF
states free and sovereign in all that
concerns their internal affairs, but
united in one federation established
under this fundamental law. The labor
article still is under discussion. the
points discussed being the questions
of an S-hour day and no night work
for women and children. These mea-
sures were added to the original ar
ticle in committee and a vote may be
taken on them. The labor represen-
tatives also are pressing for more
ample protection against capital. The
committee report on the penal article
was defeated and sent back for revis-
ion because it provided for a system
Of penal colonies. =

Washington, Dec. 27.-Germany's
reply to President Wilson's peace
note had not been received here in
official form early today and offiials
were reserYing their comment until
they had opportunity to study il. De
spite the disappointment because Ger
many has not acceded to the press-
dents suggestion and laid down her
terms, the general view prevailed that
the reply vas another step forward
in the peace movement becaus it left
room for subsuqent negotiations. It
was pointed out that the way had net
been closed for Germany to Law down
terms as the allies demand. The next
move will not be determined until art
er the official text Of the reply has
been received and carefully consId-
cred.
President Wilson will discuss it
thoroughly with the cabinet probably
Friday.
Some officials pointed out that the
United States could do nothing and
could not decide on a course until the
entente allies have also replied to the
note. Their answer has been forecast
by entente diplomats as a courteous
recognition Of the presidents pur-
poses and ideals, but probably a firm
refusal to enter into conference with
out having terms advanced first
The view persisted in Teutonic
quarters that Germany's reply would
be followed by 4 highly confidential
oral ~, xrrrff4oxs on1r-unfoo4fnr oru-
corning the terms upon which the CEN
trail powers r willing to make peace.
The German embassy, which repeated.
ly has made it clear that the central
powers were not likely to make public
their terms, had received no official
advices from Berlin today, but definite
information regarding the intentions
OF the Teutonic allies was expected.
Lacking official advices Teutonic dip
lomats were unable to throw much
light upon the manner in which terms
might be appended to the note given
out in Berlin. 1t was regarded as
probable that they might be conveyed
to President Wilson through Ambdssa-
dor Gerard. In such event the fact
that they had been stated would not
be disclosed.
The reports repeated in press dis
patches from Rome that Germany had
presented to the neutral nations
whose services she asked in forward
ing peace suggestions sealed packets
containing terms, were the subject Of
most comment in diplomatic quarters.
The Rome report had it that the pack
cts were not to be opened and for
Warded, to Germany's enemics unless
they, in reply to the notes OF the CEN
trail powers Of December p, speci1-
cally requested terms. IN German
circles here it wal considered more
probable that direct information on
the subject would be conveyed per
~sonally to President Wilson through
Ambassador Gerard.
