GIVE YOUR BOYS
 A FAIR CHANGE
By MRS. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

By MRS. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL To the women of America, mothers wives and daughters of brave men, at tention:
 Your men, are leaving you, Hooking te country's honor, the nations safety de- mands the services of it's citizens. It is right that they go. But is it right, is it just and equitable that they, the brave and patriotic, should alone perform this duty-a duty which rests on all alike?
 Everybody realizes how unfair and un. just it would be to let the government be run alone or chiefly by the voluntary contributions of the patriotic while the unpatriotic shared it's benefit without pay.
 But it is not so clearly perceived that
 to place the burden of it's defense alone
 or in large degree on patriotic volun
 teers is the same in principle. It makes
 the patriotic suffer for the unpatriotic
 Universal military training is means
 whereby the whole citizenship of the na-
 ton can be made to contribute to it's de-
 fense, exactly as through property taxa
 ton the whole citizenship is made tc contribute to its maintenance. You should not try to prevent your boys
 from springing to their country's aid but
 you have the right to insist that they
 shall not be left alone to bear the brunt
 that they shall not be sacrificed for the
 urpatriotic.
 If you want to save them, you must act
 now, at once, without a moments further
 delay The bill authorizing universal military training is now before Con-
 gress The forces arrayed against it are
 united and powerful. Remember what is
 at stake Your mems chances of re- turning to you are lessened if the bill fails to pass, for they will have to dc double duty. What you must do is to telegraph al once to your congressman. Tell your |neighbors about it. and get them to act, too Show them you ask for nothing
 but justice, for the principles that as all contribute to the maintenance of the government 50 must all contribute to its defense. And act now. Tomorrow ma, be too late.

Grace fell into evil hands, but was rescued from the house of Marie Darcy by a young man of wealth. Willard Ashbrook He places her in hospital as a nurse. It was there she met the youthful American million aire. Stuart Brinsley. After their mar rlage, Grace lived alternately in sublime happiness and in the dread that her past should be revealed to the husband she adored. Her apprehension was keyed to the breaking point by the knowledge that she was to have child. Rather than bring the waiting soul into the world while she lived a falsehood she con- fessed to her husband To her delight and astonishment, Stuart replied that he

President Wilson Says
 He Will Not Evade Any
 Criticism by Censorship

Washington, April 26.-President Wilson in a letter to Arthur Brisbane of New Yirk declared today that he is an ardent opposer to any systom of censorship that would deny to the people of the United States their iIi- disputable rights to criticize ther own public officials"
 He wrote that whatever action Con gress may decide upon. he will not expect, or permit, any law to shield him against criticisms
 Replying to letter from MT. Brisbane on the espionage bill now pending in Con- gress, the President wrote:
 T sincerely appreciate the frankness or your interesting letter of April 20 with reference to the so-called espionage bill now awaiting action of the Congress
 T approve of this legislation, but need not assure you and those interested in 1t, that whatever action the Congress may decide upon, so far as I am person. ally concerned, I shall not expect or per- init any part of this law to apply to me or any of my official acts, or in an way to be used as shield against criticism
 'T can imagine no greater disservice to the country than to establish system of censorship that would deny to the people of a free republic like our own their n- disputable right to criticize their own public officials. While exercising the great powers of the office I hold. would regret in 8 crisis like the one through which we now are passing to lose the benefit of patriotic and intelligent criticism.
 Tn these tryng times one can feel cer- tain only of his motives, which he must try to purge of selfishness of every kind and await with patience for the judg- ment of a calfner day to vindicate the wisdom of the course he has tried con- scientiously to follow"

 RIGHTS OF POLAND

 New Russia on Subject

London, April 2s.-In the House of Com mons today Chancellor Bonar Law well comed the declaration of the provisional government of Russia recognizing the rights of the Poles to decide their own affairs.
 Thanks to the liberal and statesman like action of the provisional govern ment," he said. Poland will appear again in international life and take her snare with the other nations in working to- gether for the common good of civiliza- ton. Our efforts in the war will be di- rected toward helping Poland to realize her unity on lines described in the Rus sian proclamation under conditions which will make her strong and independent" The ehancellors speech was appIauded frequently by the Irisn memSers. After MT. Bonar Law had concluded John Dill lon, nationalist, asked whether the Rus sian government in issuing it's prociama- tion and the British government n giving assent had given consideration to deal ing with any veto of the indepdendenca of Poland by the lrage number of Ger mans resident there.
 'Fl do not know of any such conditions" said the chancellor But there is certain ly no part of Poland in which conditions are the same as in the district of Ireland, to which the member refers

Mexico Warns Germans
 Not to Concentrate on
 Border Washington Hears

Washington, April 26.--Official ad- vices to the state department today said the Mexican government had warned Germans in Mexico that any concentration of Germans near the American border will be followed ina mediately by their arrest
 In conveying this notice the Mexican authorities explained that they could dc no less in view of the fact that a state of war existed between Germany and the United States.
 Officials of the American government were 'gratified by this first practical manifestation of Mexico's proclaimed neu- trality. Suggestion that her proclama- tion of neutrality was only thin COW ering for a more friendly feeling foI Germany, never have been accepted by the American government. but knowl- edge of the instructions of the German foreign office to Minister Eckhardt in Mexico City to do what he could to se- cure Mexico as an ally in the event of war with the United States has caused all developments in Mexico to be watch ed carefully.
 President Carranza's recent decree pro- viding heavier export tax on oil and it's derivatives has not been construed by the state department as an intentional blow at Great Britain. but merely what the Mexican government calls it, meaS- ,ure to raise much needed money.
