HISS WILSON OBDURATE

Barnard College Student Refuses to
 Change Attitude Regarding Anti-
 ConsFiption-Deaf to Mothers Plea
 New York, Juno 6.-For nearly two hours late yesterday afternoon federal officials vainly sought to break down the stoical. determined resistance of Miss Eleanor Parker Wilson, Colum- bia university anti-draft agitator. ard induce her to give her word to make no further attempts to encourage vto- lation and evasion of the conscription law.
 Facing the cancellation of her bail. which had been fixed ct $t,5oo, fol- lowing her indictment by federal grand jury, unless she recanted and pledged herself to agitate no further. Miss Parker stubbornly refused. Even
 if she had to go to jail. she declared. she would not weaken.
 The girl was taken into the office of United States Marshal Thomas D. Mo- Carthy, where she was closeted with tho marshal, her mother and A. B. Samuels. an attorney retained by Mrs. Parker. to represent the girl, against the latter's wishes. Finally, under the pressure of the three others, Miss Parker agreed to give the promises demanded If Winter Russell and Pro- lessor J. McK Cattel, of Columbia university, advised her to do so. Rus sell had earlier in the afternoon ap- peared as counsel for Professor Cat tells son, Owen Cattell, and Charles Francis Phillips, Columbia students, who had been indicted with Miss Par ! ker on a charge of conspiracy.

There is not the slightest doubt
among department Of justice officials
that many women are working under
German supervisors in this country,
and have been responsible for many
plots to destroy munitions plants and
other establishments. 1t is recognized
that a curb should be placed on the
activities Of feminine enemy aliens
and they be made subject to intern

1t is expected also that recommen.

Hal!fax.-With complete disregard

this desolated city from another catas-
trophe, a coup Of Dartmouth citizens

lilly by her crew.
The vessel carried a deckload of oil,
and as she came In close to the shore

prompt action. A volunteer freight
ing force was quickly organized and
the burning ship was boarded. After
hard work the flames were extin.

preferring the scant relief shelter
provided in Dartmouth.
Since the explosion Of the Mont

According to statements obtained
today from survivors of the Norwe.

CHINESE TROOPS
EXPECTED FRONT
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WILL CONFER WITH CHINESE
OFFICIALS AT EARLY DATE.
PLAN FOR TWO DIVISIONS
Chinese Soldiers Would Be Used on
Second Line of Trenches-Many
Chinese Have Attended French
Military Schools.

Washington.-An international com
mission, composed Of representatives
Of the entente powers and the United
States, will meet in Shanghai at an
early date to discuss details Of the
application OF the concessions made
on the part Of the powers and of
China, in view of the participation OF
China In the war.
1t is understood that American min
lister Reinsch will represent the United
States at the conference, and that the
other participants will be the minis
ters of the allied countries. China, il
was learned today, has replied favora'
bly, to a communication stating the al
lied desires and concessions.
The principal considerations are
said to be permission for China to in
crease import duties and to postpone
payment of the Boxer indemnity.
Unofficial advices received mere are
to the effect that the French minister
to China has made a proposal, which
had received the approval Of the Paris
cabinet and the allies, respecting the
dispatch of a Chinese military force
to France and which, 1t is said, proba'
bly, will be accepted by the Chinese
ministry.
Roughly, the scheme is to send two
divisions OF infantry to France, nun.
bering about $4,000 men. This force
will be put in the second line, to be
employed on lines Of communication
and other work behind the front. II
will be equipped in France with all
necessaries not brought from China,
and a be put or duty almost imme.
diately on landing. 1t has been esti'
mated that there are between 200 and
300 officers in the Chinese army who
have been through the military schools
of France in the last ten years, and
with ONE French officers speaking
Chinese the language difficulty is dis.
posed of.
Every Chinese soldier sent to
France will release a French soldier
for the front.

he said. largely by the home service
of the Red Cross. Men may be the
best soldiers in the world" he de-,
clared, "but II things are not well

worry and lose efficiency, and the
morale, that all.important factor, be.
