The Presidents word to the nations was
frankly that of an idealist. Upon many
of his expressions 1t would be easy for
criticism to pounce. Some OF the doc
trines which he enunciates SO sweepingly
go counter to American practice-counter
to his own practice. And some of the
principles which he lays down for a set
tlement of the European war would. we
fear, seem to the actual members of a
peace conference as barren, or as little
applicable in detail. as a proposition in
geometry. But we are not going to dwell
upon these things today. The main i'm
preston made by the President is too
deep. too inspiring, to be weakened by
fault that may be found with this or that
feature Of his program. 1t is like the
effect Of great grafton, or poem, or
overpowering musical production. While
under its spell, one despises himself for
searching out its weak parts as with a
lighted candle. Whatever else may be
said of President Wilson's address to
the Senate-in reality an address to the
whole world-it was a beau geste that

BY o. q. MCINTYRE.

Special Correspondent Of The Washington Hsrald.
New York, Jan. &.-Here are glad
tidings from the center of the uni
verse. yclept New York. to the heath
en- OF the hinterlands, The tipping
information is frst-paged in all the
New York press that a cigar and Gig
arctic stand for women has been open
ed at the fashionable Ritz.
1t was the Ritz that first permitted
Milady to use the nicotine sticks with
in its sacred portals. Now the man
agement has formally opened the la
dies humidor. the first of it's kind. and
now the fair ones may select cigarettes
or cigars if those are preferred in
peace and perfect quiet
1t seems that heretofore when ladies
wished cigarettes they had to depend
upon uncouth walters who possibly
knew nothing of trigonometry or free
verse or any of the higher arts. Either
that or be stared at in public to-
bacco store
1t was indeed a perplexing problem
However, be that as IL may, as George
Monroe would say. the Ritz has solved
the problem. 1t is quite difficult for
the outsider to realize the headway
that cigarette smoking is making
among the feminine part OF the popu-
lation in Gotham.
Young girls, middle aged and old
women are smoking. Smoking is per-
mitted in the bett<r class hotels like
the Waldorf. Majestic. st. Regis and
Gotham, but it is mostly done in the
grills.
A Texas editor. after visiting the
city and seeing the women smoke on
all sides, remarked: New York is an
unusually wonderful place. So unlike
the United States, you know"
Fiske O'Hara tells a yarn that there
was in his home town an old horse so
thin he could hardly stand up. The
horse belonged to a huckster. One
day the huckster left his son in charge

he returned the horse was lying on his
side. Turning to the boy. the huckster

S54,l00fR0MBANK
BY VIM. C. SHEPHERD


PresSs Correspondent
PETROCRAD, June 3O.-Ten masked
bandits in the most approved Jesse James
style held up the Oceanic Bank of Ust, terri
flying the town, stealing 100000 roubles,
(about $54, 1909 and a number of valuable
documents.
Several townspeople were killed and
wounded when the bandits went thru the
streets demanding everybody's valuables
The 10 got safely away.
The incident led to strongly repressive
measures by the government today to put
down crime. All court procedure was prac-
tically made to conform to martial law. Un-
der the new plan, a jury may consist of
three soldiers and even the prosecut or may
be a member of the army.
