All "White Slaves"

The Federal white slave law was con-
strued by the Supreme Court on Monday
last to prohibit interstate transportation
OF women for any immoral purpose. in

mercialized vice. In three test cases the
court in divided opinion affirmed con-

sentences and fines will become effective
within 80 days. The decision is final.
Former Senator Joseph W. Bailey was
chief counsel for the defense in the Su-
preme Court hearing, with Assistant At
torney General Wallace aligned for the
government
The court divided S to in broadly in
terpreting the law. enacted in 1910. Chief
Justice White and Justices McKenna, and
Clarke in a minority opinion, held that
Congress intended to have the law apply
only to actual traffic" in women and not
TO personal immoralties.
Justice McReynolds, who was Attorney
General during the prosecution Of Can't
netti and Digs. took no part in the cases.
The majority opinion. given by Justice
Day. held that while Congress may have
intended the law to prohibit only traffic in
women for pecuniary gain. its plain terms
include Introduction of their transportation

was not so intended. the majority said, i,

Text OF Eutente Allies Reply To
Wilson.

The Allied Governments have received
the note which was delivered to them in
the name Of the Government Of the United
States on the nineteenth Of December,
1915. They have studied IL with the care
imposed upon them both by the exact
realization which they have Of the gravity
Of the hour and by the sincere friendship
which attaches them 10 the American
people.
In a general way they wish to declare
that they pay tribute to the elevation of
the sentiment with which the American
note is inspired and that they associate
themselves with all their hopes with the
project for the creation Of league of ma
tons to insure peace and justice through
out the world. They recognize all the adj
vantaees for the cause Of humanity and
civilization which the institution Of inter-
national agreements destined to avoid
violent conflicts between nations would
prevent: agreements which must imply
the sanctions necessary TO insure their
execution and thus to prevent an appar-
ent security from only facilitating new
aeeressions. But a discussion Of future
arrangements destined to insure an en-
during peace presupposes a satisfactory
settlement Of the actual conflict the Allies
have as profound desire as the Govern
ment Of the United States to terminate
as soon as possible war for which the
Central Empires are responsible and which
infiicts such cruel suiierines upon humanity
But they believe that il is impossible at
the present moment to attain peace which
will assure them reparation, restitution
and such guarantees to which they are
entitled by the aggression for which the
responsibility rests with the Central Powers
and Of which the principle itself tended TO
ruin the security Of Europe; peace which
would on the other hand permit the estab-
lishment OF the future Of European nations
on a solid basis. The Allied nations are
conscious that they are not fighting for
selfish interests, but above all TO safe
guard the independence OF peoples. Of
right and Of humanity.
The Allies are fully aware Of the losses

Suffrage And Sense.

No doubt the ladies who are so earnestly

wished to be martyrs for a cause to a hogs
head of crude oil and then applying
match TO the oil, martyrdom was anot her

some intensely practical parents might
