Say Women" Not Ladies'"

Don't say ladies, please; don't
draw that distinction Ladies belong
10 the past; the Victorian period saw
the last of them. writes Jane Cowl in
he Washington Times.
Modern wOmanhood is something
nobler and it has Tor its ideal, sis.
terhood, the equality Of women with
out class distinction; that is the new
note in our life. Women. the world
over, have come to recognize their du-
ties toward each other. The fine lady
is no longer respected for merely be-
ing a fine lady; she is more honored
for what she does for the poor. unfor-
tunate members of her sex. The finest
women in our great. glorious land
have reached out and given helping
hand to unhappy girls like Ellen Neal
in Common Clay" A new spirit of
sisterly love prevails among all WON
en-, which is to do great things for
civilization in the future.

Miss Mary smiled upon him with the
dignity of five and twenty years, four
of which had been spent in the So
ciety's service.
Il guess it's the same everywhere,
Mr. Saunders" she answered lightly,
mentally registering her pity that a
young man of her own age should
know so little of life. In fact, Mr..
Saunders, who had come straight to
the chaplain's post from the theolog-
ical seminary, month before, was, in
comparison with herself, child.
Miss Mary had evinced a decided

himself, was not Indifferent to her.
In the secrecy of his heart he had
even dared to dream things relating
to a little home somewhere, when he
got his coveted post in small town,
far from the noise of the lower East
side. In this home, like a presiding
genius, was enthroned Miss Mary

Miss Mary thought must not be re-

PUNITIVE FORCE
EXPECTS ATTACK
IN WITHDRAWAL

Ell Paso, Tex, April 20.-While the
American punitive expedition is marking
time today in it's pursuit of Villa. efforts
are being made to strengthen the army
bases and lines of communication.
Fears are openly expressed by army
officers that should an order come ii
withdraw the American troops the Villa
and other marauding bands will raise the
cry that the American troops are in re-
treat, with the result that American SOL
diers will be subject to constant night at
Mexico.
To prevent such warfare against his
columns, General Pershing is preparing to
be in a position to move his forces in
large units. The belief is general at Fort
Bliss that the troops will encounter more
difficulties in a withdrawal from Mexico
than they did on their rapid 4oo-mile
drive from Columbus to Parral.
No word has come from General Cav
azos, who with Col. Carranza was re-

MEX|CO'S new
MINING LAWS

New Schedule Goes into Effect
by Decree of General
Carranza

Mexico City. April 2o.-1t was officially
announced today that Mexicos new min
ing law will be made effective within the
next few days by a decree to be issued
by Gen. Carranza.
The most striking feature of the new
law will be its discouragment Of large
holdings Of undeveloped claims for pur-
poses Of exploration or exploitation.
The new schedule Of taxes for regions
bearing precious metals will be based on
minimum and maximum holdings. The
first classification will represent the small
mine owner holding 10 or less claims, who
will be called upon to pay an annual tax
of Sc Mexican gold for each claim. The
second classification represents the aver
age company, holding from 10 to 90
claims. from which an annual tax Of 81:
Mexican gold will be collected. The third
classification represents the large COM
panies, holding 50 to 100 claims, for which
the new law provides tax Of SIS per
claim annually. Larger holdings than

tive and I cannot discuss them at this
time
In a speech at dinner tonight to Mrs.
Joseph Fels, Mr.. Bryan declared 1t would
be crime for the United States to enter
the present war under any circumstances.
He insisted that harm done America by
any Of the belligerents had been incident
to their war in which the United States
was not interested. It was false d.
plomacy. he declared, that was leading
this country to war, and militarists and
munition manufacturers were responsible
for it.
Recalling that Germany had agreed to
the principle of the peace treaties which
he, as secretary of state, negotiated with
many nations and under which the par
ties pledged themselves not to go to war
pending an investigation of the cause of
dispute, Mr.. Bryan urged that settlement
of any quarrel which the United States
might have with an European nation
should be delayed until after the end of
the war.

canoeists' Marrow Escape

A couple of local canoeists gave an
interesting exhibition Of how easy It
is to get fooled, little after o'clock
Thursday evening. They padded up
past the foot bridge in the Kennebec,
while a small crowd Of people on the
bridge watched the fight they were
making with the spring torrent, and
had managed to reach a position just
above the new railway bridge, when a
floating log, travelling down stream at
the rate of about 40 miles an hour.
drove the frail craft from beneath its
occupants, and left them alone in the
middle Of the icy Kennebec. And then
the people on the bridge watched a
genuine struggle for life. Both men are
good swimmers and that is their sole
reason for present existence. They
managed to combat the cross currents
and undertow long enough to make
landing below the Colonial theater. The
canoe went down river to parts I'M
known, and both boys declined to pur-
sue it, the river being a bit too chilly
for further aquatics.
