This WOman'S Head

SEATTLE. May 8.-Motherhood
should be restricted to women OF the
lower classes who can bear children
with less sacrifice is the opinion OF
Mrs. Robert Liggett Of St. Paul, "twi-
light sleep" lecturer, who is here to
discuss childbirth dangers with club
women.
"Educated cultured women should
not be allowed to be mothers" she
declared. "Science admits that their
heritage of nerves, temperament and
physical development makes propoga-
ton Of life for them more dangerous
than to members of the lower classes"
Other stirling statements by Mrs.
Liggett were:
"The o'dSasS,ioned notion about
the sacradness of motherhood is al!
bosh"
There car be no sacredness about

to women of the lower type who are
not so capable of suffering They

problem would be a national issue be-

to the union, but during the past few
days things have begun to happen,
and from now on the campaign prom
ises to be real merry.

The British troops at dawn
today entered the second phase
of the allied offensive by break
ing into the German positions
on four-mile front north of
the Somme, and captured sew
eral strongly defended locali-
ties, London accounted today.
In the attacks on the second
German defenses, the British
captured Longueval, Bazentin-
Legrand, and Trones Wood, ac-
cording to a Reuter- dispatch
from the front.
A French statement says, the
Germans made two attempts
last night to storm the French
positions north of the Aisne and
south of Vile au Boise, but
were checked by the French
machine guns.
Longueval, which the British
captured today, is three and
one-half miles east of Contal-
maison, which they captured
from the Germans a few days
ago.

NEW DEPOT MAY
De VE | OP 4
LIVELY SCRAP
SOME WOULD HAVE BROADWAY
OPENED EAST OF RAILROAD -
NEW DEPOT MAY OR MAY NOT
INTERFERE WITH PLANS.

Evidently there is going to be a
lively scrap when the Santa Fe be-
gins to erect the new union passen-
ger station, if the railroad erects it
where common report states they will,
because there are a few business men
on lower East Broadway who are de-
termined that the street east OF the
railroad tracks shall be opened up.
This is going to involve legal ques-
tiOn because from the fact that
few years ago the city entered into a
contract with the Santa Fe not to
open this section of street. in view of
certain concessions agreed to by the
railroad company. Some time ago a
petition was presented to the Board
of City Commissioners asking that
this street be opened, but the city
officials refused to take action, ir
view of the existing contract with
the Santa Fe. Those who have been
asking for the opening of the street
have been persistent, however, and
the chances are that they will take
the matter to the courts, if necessary.
The city engineer was asked at one
time to submit an estimate of the
cost of opening the street and the
necessity thereof. His report was
not satisfactory to those who desired
the street opened, but the city of
fcials, in view of his findings, re-
fused to take any further action.
This is the present status OF the
case. The railroad will probably in
sist upon the fulfllment of the con-
tract it has with the city relative to
this street. while on the other hand
those who desire it opened will prob
ably try conclusions with the conf
pany in the courts, il necessary.
