AL though the loss of Santiago is re- oarded here as marking the col lapse of the revolution, it was re- alized that continuation of the guerilla campaign in outlying sec tions may make serious the work of the government commanders.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Leaders of both parties in congress greeted with approval President Wilson's call for a special session on April Is.
 There has been a feeling evident that congress should be in Washing ton when the President takes any step further in the German situation. The length of the special session, the legislation it will enact and the de bates that may mark its progress will depend largely on three factors-just what legislation the President eX- poets, what results, the arming Of American merchant ships; even the way the new house of representatives conducts itself with its evenly bal anced membership.

W. c. T. U.

One of The most interesting meet
ings of the W. c. T. U. this year was
held at the residence of Mrs. W. T.
Bell Thursday, Feb Thirteen men,
bers we're present. Following the de-
votional exercise, letters from State
officers were read. A motion to con-
duct bazaar the latter part of the
year, carried. A plan for greater
efficiency was evolved, the member
ship being divided into groups or
teams, captain appointed and work
for each team assigned. The cap
tains selected are as follows: Miss
Cassie Gooch, Mrs. Effie Brooks, Mrs.
Minnie Prather, Mrs. Nola Smith and
Mrs. Cora Alternately.
On the topic Our Duty to Our
Weaker Brother" readings were
given by four members, followed
by general discussion. The ques-
ton why should the W. C. T. u.
make greater efforts to extend our
department work among the negro"
brought out the fact that while the
union has made an effort to impress
upon the white child the Importance
of total abstinence, hygiene and
health, little or nothing has been done
to help the negro to grow stronger
or better citizens. 1t was decided to
take up the Departments of Scientific
Temperance instruction in Public
School, Sunday School Work and
Sanitation and such other work as
will be of help to them. Mrs. Bell
was selected General Superintendent
Of the work, to act in conjunction
with the President and superintend-
ent of these Departments.
