Answer to CaHanza Waits
On Conference at Border

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Diplomatic
and other problems surrounding the
American pursuit of Villa are being held
I'm status quo pending the conference
between General Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army, and GENERA
Obregon, CarranZa's war minister, winch
is expected to take place at some border
point within the next day or two.
Major General Funston, in command
o. the southern department of the army,
will attend the conference with General
Scott. 1t is understood that several
Carranza generals will be present with
General Obregon, who is expected to
arrive at the border before tomorrow
might.
There is considerable speculation here
a. to just what will be discussed at the
conference. At the Mexican embassy
the belief is expressed that details of
the withdrawal of the American forces
will be taken up 1t is generally be-
lieyed. however, that General Scott will
convey the impression that the Ameri-
can soldiers are prepared to remain in
Mexico until further danger of border
raids by bandits is removed, either by
Joint action with the Carranza troops
in policing the northern section OF
Mexico or by the demonstrated ability
Of the de facto government troops TO
StOD all tufIneT w lldbSNCi
conclusion is reached, it is understood
that il will have to be ratified by the
Washington and Mexican governments.
Advices as to the time of General
Obregons arrival on the border were
still awaited today at the state and war
departments. Nothing has been received
so far to indicate where the conference
will be held
Secretary Baker said his department
had not prepared any instructions to
the chief of staff as to what he should
discuss with General Obregon Secreta-
nv Lansing said no state department
representative would attend the meeting.
Secretary Baker suggested that the
question of greater cooperation between
the American and Carranza forces in
policing the bandit ridden portion OF
Chihuahua probably would be the main
topic of discussion, and the danger of
clashes with civilian or irregular Next
can troops would be greatly lessened by
an under standing.
State department officials said nc
steps towards preparing a reply to Gen
eral Carranza's note suggesting the re-
call of American troops would be taken
until q report FROM General Scott was
received.

The Tragedy of Art.

New York is paying recognition today to
Ralph Albert Blakelock, driven insane because an
unappreciative public twenty years ago, failed to
buy enough of his pictures to enable him to buy
food for his family. Twenty years ago he begged
art lovers and art dealers to buy his work, but
they were too stupid to see his genius. Today
they have rescued him from an insane asylum
and are hailing him Americas foremost painter.
Blakelock went to the hospital for the insane
at Middletown, N. Y, penniless and broken after
he had lost in struggle to sell even enough to
make meager living for himself and family He
comes out of the hospital honored as member
of the National Academy of Design and hailed
the leader of American art
What a sardonic commentary on Americas
appreciation of art and of genius! How belittng
the thought that Americans drove this man into
insanity! What recompense can America give
this man now, when he is 70 years old, crushed
in spirit, with the flame of his genius dimmed by
mental feebeness, and his artistic genius de-
stroped by seventeen years in insane asylum?

We Need a Woman Police Officer.

The Women's Federated clubs are back of a
tan police commissioners to appoint woman po-
lice officer. Mayor Robbins has gone ON record
IS favoring the innovation.
Women police officers have proved their
worth in cities where they have been added to
the police department. Their usefulness lies not
so much in chasing and catching crooks, but in
/ the higher duty of police work, namely, in pro-
tecting girls, in preventing them from falling
J into evil ways in safeguarding girls who need
the attention of mother.
The Richmond police force is below the limit
with respect to the number of men on the corps
now. Instead of appointing new male members,
the board Of police commissioners ought appoint
woman.
The field before woman member of the force
is as wide the city. Hundreds of girls today
need the supervision of police matron scores
of others will be kept in the narrow but honest
path by the counsel and advice of woman police
officer whose heart will go out to the unfortun-
ates that need her assistance.
Many of the tragic incidents that are given
publicity and that make unsavory scenes in our
police court might well be prevented. The serv-
ice of a police officer will go far in this
direction. delinquent girl, or one who is on
the verge of taking the step into the abyss will
listen to the motherly advice of a noble hearted
woman whose duty it will be to prevent wrong
doing and moral lapses rather than hunt down
offending girls and women.
woman police officer is moral asset to
the whole city. We predict that merely the pres
ence Of one woman on the police force will be a
greater deterrent against some forms of iniquity
that current in Richmond than all the legis-
lation and all the disciplinary action of the police
Let the police commissioners engage wo-
man; give her trial, and if the experiment is
failure, the city will not be heavy loser by the
innovation. In other Cities women members of
the force have been success The same will OBJ

Not too Old to Enjoy Life.
