eral Luis Herrera. chief commander
OF the Carranzistas. wired from Chi
huahua City today that there was no

officials admitted that. after all.
he may not be In the tolls.
With the fondest hopes Of the de
facto government thus dissipated, the
new revolution around Torreon was
reported making progress, with hu-
man bodies swinging from poles and
bloody corpses left In the streets.
Stories as to villa came from sew
eral sources. They were conflicting
and official confirmation OF the re-
ported capture was lacking. Earlier
private messages from mining sources
In chihuahua stated that villa had
been captured alive on the promise
that his life would be spared. This
report said that three CarrauSista de-
tachments had surrounded him and
is followers, and had captured them
after they had made q pretense at
resistance.
Included In the group were said
to be Colonel Carlos Lopez and Is

In the community and national life. the

high ethical ideals were especially pre-.

secondly. moral courage, in dealing
with great public questions Some of
the problems OF the day were touched
upon, such as that Of labor and capt

In conclusion Rev. Bersell said:
There are war clouds lowering over
US. There are many sores on our
body polite. The ship Of state Is ever
surrounded by dangers and 1t seems
that just now we are passing between
Scylla and Carbyadis. But l feel a.
sured that, under God, we shall take
our appointed place and work out our
destiny among the nations OF the
world And because we do not finch,
nor stand unwilling to pay the cost Of
peace, we shall also inherit the land
and enjoy peace. Our heroes have
not died in vain Their heroism IL
ours. Their flag is ours. And today
our nation is at work. The great
mass of our people are quietly, hon
estly doing their duty, they are at their
work for home, for fatherland, for
God. And God is with u.s.
Last night listened to the tale Of
a traveller who had visited the Holy;
Land. He brought the picture OF the
church Of the holy sepulchre on the
spot where Jesus lay. Thither the Pill
grims come to worship in the holy
place. But it seems to me that may:
also worship atsthe tomb Of Jesus, TOR
the whole earth Is his tomb. Hi1l
blood has hallowed the earth. The
blessings Of his peace extend to the
ends Of the earth and the ends Of time.
And so the tombs of our national.
heroes are not confined to these acres
Of God. Not only this is ilallowed
ground, but my city. my state. nlya
country is all hallowed ground, b.
cause Of their sacrifice. SO let II
live and labor, that we may keep IS

HOLLAND PREPARES.

An army Of 100000 mon as Hoi
lands military strength in any future
European struggle Is the prepared
ness program of the ''volksweerbaar-
held" or National Defense association,
which enjoys state subsidy and has
lao branches and nearly $4,000 mem
bers.
Under this program every able boo
led man and woman would be ennsteo
for the country's defense: there wouid
he universal service instead of the
limited compulsory system which no"
obtains. The association is convinced
that freedom and independence can
be assured only when all who are able.
conscious of their duty, prepare them
selves In service in the country's de-
tense forces, with view, in case OF
necessity, to being able to defend
those most sacred possessions OF the
nation"
The concrete scheme Of the asso-
citation takes the form Of general COM
pulsory training, with limited repetl-
ton training and service, and local
and provincial training and organiza-
ton. Starting out from the principle
that the basis Of all defense must be
the forming Of powerful race, the
program would provide physical exer-
else In the schools and subsequent
preparatory training Of the youth OF
the country. After this the time actu-
any spent in. the ranks would be COM
paratively short, the association ar
9ues, citing what has been seen IN
that respect in the present war.
Only 4 few of the large levies thus
obtained would suffice to form the
field army. Thence the men would
pass out into the local troops ter
ritorial defense forces. These latter
would be SO organized that, together
with the strong localized frontier and
coast guards, they could be ready to
take the field in a few hours.
While the local troops would. in
the first place. serve for defense. the
field army would be destined for Of
fensive operations. The two together
would form force OF about 800 900
men, fully trained, while there would
still be a reserve In the depots of
more than 100000 men, making up the
total of 100000 mentioned

maternal duties and the homes will be
neglected, are vainly super1uous.
Beyond doubt, the stability OF our
American civilization rests on the
labor and the influences Of wife and
mother in our American homes. And
that is the greatest reason one can
have for being prO-woman sunragist.
Who so interested in the home as
is the. mother? In 1t all her interests
focus and her affections cluster; about
1t spring all her anxieties. Why
should she. not have vote to help
protect it from ruinous taxation. or
undesirable invasion? Why not vote
on measures looking to the creation
and promotion of moral environ
ments around, and educational oppor-
tunities for, her children? And all
legislation. more especially all econ
omic legislation, touches the home.
Any legislation that affects wages, es-
pecially affects the homes, the wives.
mothers and children therein, as well
as the husbands and fathers. In
times of war, of labor troubles, of pam
les that close factories and scatter
bankruptcies broad cast, the homes
and all therein are grievously touched.
The duties performed in her home
by the wife who has children are more
irksome, combining, slavish, attended
with more soHcitude and nagging
anxieties and sleepless nights, than
are the duties performed by the hus-
band and father. OF course am
speaking of and for the great middle
class on whom the stability of our
civilization rests not of or for the
rich, nor of and for the submerged or
vicious classes.
Who can more fittingly represent
our homes at the ballot box than can
the wives and mothers?
Here in prosperous Iowa thousands
of women are maintaining themselves
by their own work many Of them by
grinding labor and drudgery, are not
only maintaining themselves. but also

Editor The Courier:
Equal rights to all, special privi-
leges to none is fundamental ak
iom in all just government.
We say our women are citizens. II
they are it is certainly an unjust con-
travention of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" that the
ballot, the highest prerogative of citi-
zenship should be conferred on only
the male citizenship. Such discrimi-
nation places our women practically
in the status OF unnaturalized resi-
dent aliens. 1t would be literally more
correct to say our males are citizens
and our females semi-citiZens.
Of course the discrimination can
not be justified on the ground that
women by nature are inferior to men.
either intellectually or morally; for
in the former, in an all round aver
age, they are the equal of men and as
to the latter. when measured by any
fair gauge, they will register hun
dred or more points higher than the
men. And when a question of morals
is involved in an electoral contest,
good men by the thousands, fearful
of effects on business, will hesitate,
equivocate. temporize and compro-
mise, while our women never would.
To justify the discrimination on a
claim that by reason OF woman's phys
ical weakness the men have to do the
rougher, harder and heavier work, and
furnish support for the women and
children, and have to do all the fight
ing in time OF war. and therefore they
should be accorded the exclusive priv
ilege of governing, would be assum-
ing that there is kind Of divine right
in men to exclusively govern, on ac-
count of their mere superior brute
force-that is, brute might gives them
the right to govern others.
But the anti's clinching argument
is that the home is, the place for the
woman. Their eulogiums on the
home and motherhood. and the splen-
did services of mothers who stay at
their homes and devote their whole
time to their homes and families are
very fine; but the bewailments over
the straw man the imagination of the
anti builds up. that II our women
should be allowed to vote, politics will
distract them from their conjugal and
