, OH stunts on each other. After
we had decided it had thawd and
! was safe from the SHOWS, the
: smallpox found their way in
school. There were nine hun
dred, or more, vaccinated for
them, that ment that many veal;
arms and of course weak minds,
for a while. No more VAGINA
ton for me, | prefer smallpox.
1t certainly did serve me bad
When we had begin to feel
happy and safe over this scare.
The golden sun began to shine
down upon on US with all its
beauty, telling the fresh green
grass to raise its sleepy head, as
if it was a spring flower, and
play a trick on us, for we were
anxious for a walk to the coun
try. But just then, an old men,
ingintis germ crept in and stole
one of our girls. New cases kept
coming until there were sixteen
cases in hospital. Things began
to look serious but by trained
nurses, and Doctors proper
care, we are glad to report that
every patient recovered, not a
life lost. That means much to
Berea.
| We have been quarantined
twenty-eight days, not permitted
to enter any public building, or
dormitories of other departments.
This morning the quarantine
is lifted, and we are so happy
and feel so free we hardly know
where to go or what to do first.
Go to the library tho, for that's
our home most of the time.
The students are coming out of
the hospital and other buildings,
like fowls out of Noah's ark, and
yelling like a gang of blackbirds.
Inspite of all these things,
Berea has kept smiling, and gone
on with her good work. All
these things comes to us where
ever we may he, and we feel
perfectly safe here.
Berea offers every good thing
that any girl, or boy. should ask
for. We have different societies
to attend on Saturday nights.
The Y. w. G. A. and Y. M. c. A.
are doing great work for the
soldier boys. Our hearts SYM
pathy goes out to them, our
prayers are with them, and we
believe they will come back
heros to us.
The college celebrated Wash
ing's birthday by hunting and
fighting the meningitis germ.
Everything within the Halls on
that day was suned, cleaned, and
disinfected. The teachers had US
to hang everything out to kill the
germ. Guess they would have
put us out too, but that was too
much, to get ropes to put around
twenty hundred necks. The
girls went into it with fun rath-
er than work.
The boys took housekeeping to
heart and after they were thru,
they marched and played the
band with an advertisement,
Vote for Women.
Everybody from Tennessee is
fine and anticipating on coming
back after our school work is
over. bringing something with
us worth while to deliver to those
at home.

such few. | will not take any

misses the waste basket, you
may look for me again, for I'll he
with you.

Thousands of Teutons
Liable to Internment

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Thousands
of unnaturalized Germans failed to en-
roll themselves with police or post
masters during the registration period
which closed Wednesday and are sub
ject to internment, it was shown to-day
by preliminary reports on the registra-
tion reaching the Department of JUS
tice. United States marshals and at
tcrneys now are engaged in q careful
study of the registration rolls. Within
week they will undertake action
against those who neglected to report
as ordered.
Most failures were due to misunder-
standing of the requirements or to
doubt concerning citizenship status, it
is believed, and it is probable that these
men will be permitted to register later
and not be interned. The minority who
refused to register, however, is cx-
pected to furnish many recruits for in
ternment camps.
Department of Justice officials day
made it plain that number of German
women in the United States would be
interned if Congress enacted the pend
ing bill to include women in the enemy
alien classification. Since records Of
the male regstrants show facts con-
corning the history and conduct of
women members of families it is i'm
probable that another registration
would be arranged for the women if the
measure is passed.

Straus Insists B. r. T.
Power Is Inadequate
Threatens Public Hearing on
Heating in Letter to Presi-
dent Williams

Chairman Oscar S. Straus of the
Public Service Commission sent
sharp lettet yesterday to President
Williams Of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, insisting that the B. r.
T.'s power equipment is inadequate
and that President Williams knows it.,
dcsuite his assertions to the contrary.
The letter was in reply to one from
Colonel Williams denying the truth of
Chairman Strauss recent statement
that the Brooklyn company had an in
sufficient power supply to adequately
heat its cars, and suggesting that the
company arrange for additional service
from the Edison company.
Mr.. Straus reminded Colonel Will
Jams that he said last October the
proper heating of the cars would
place heavy load upon the available
power equipment" and that negotia-
tions were in progress for emergency
equipment from the New York and
Brooklyn Edison companies. Chairman
Straus had submitted figures from the
electrical engineers of the commission
to support his contention. and he de-
clared that if President Williams still
denied the truth of these statements
and so Informed him he would recon-
mend to the commission formal hear
ing TO ascertain the facts.

according to an estimate at suffrage
headquarters, 8 East Thirty eighth
| Street, yesterday. The task of prepar-
ing these women to mark their bal

offices busy night and day. On heat
less Mondays the women have been

hundred and fifty thousand leaflets
have been prepared and distributed to
Assembly district leaders.
The first meetings to interest the
new voters will begin in Brooklyn

lltlcal clubs in the district have been
invited to attend.
Meetings will be held on Wednesday
evening at Stauch's, at Coney Island;
on Thursday at Corrigan's Hall, at SCI

Glasses for women voters in one
hundred election districts of the four
morrow. Coached by the graduates of
Miss Hays normal school for teach
ers of citizenship, the women will
learn how to register, how to mark
and cast their ballot.
Miss Hay has advised the teachers
that if woman hesitates over her age
she may reply to the question "How
old are you?" by the answer cover
twenty Frivolous persons at
tending the suffrage school said that
this ruling Of BOSS" Hays would do
more than anything else to get out a
big vote among the women.
Although this is Miss Hays ruling,
the law and the Election Boards in
structions are to the contrary, and city
election boards as rule refuse to reg
lister man who gives the answer Miss
Hays advises.
The schools will be held in bakeries
(after business house,, in churches,
clothing stores, public schools, halls
and suffrage headquarters Fliers ad-
vertising the schools were distributed
from house to house by suffrage or
ganizers yesterday.

The flier reads:
IMPORTANT-WOME VOTERS
"On March s you have your first chance
| to vote
'You can vote for Congressman Show
your interest in who represents you in
Washington in this crisis. Learn how to

Other pamphlets have been dis
tributed by the Woman Suffrage party

tives, how they are elected and the
parts of the election law which apply
to the new women voters, especially
those pertaining to the registration of
aliens.

Hays and left Adams without formida-
BILE competitor. When the Hays men
heard of this Governor Goodrich of In
diana, sponsor for Hays, sent for Mr..
Hemenway and said to him:
Jim, that is not bad plan you've
got under way for the elimination Of
Will Hays but our state committee has
cided that if you are determined to go
ahead and make a mo ion to eliminate
Hays we will get the corrmittee to-
gether and elect Hays a member of the
National Committee in your place."
The elimination plan was at once
dropped, the Adams men feeling certain
that even with Hays in the race thew
had the votes to elect Adams
There is some question as to whether
Adams is still vice chairman of the
committee, as claimed. There was no
until the snap action was taken a wear
ago that one was thought to be needed.
At the election on Wednesday last of
Mr.. Hays a resolution was passed as
follows:
That hereafter all officers, including the
executive committee of the national COM
mlttec, shall be elected by the national
committee in meeting assembled, provided
,hat IN tne case OF vacancies the same may
pe hlled by the executive committee until
the next meeting OF the national COM
mittec." ~ ''
While the National Committee last
week took no specific action with refer
ence TO electlng a new vice-c hartman. if
is believed that if Chairman HAYS is dis
posed to so rule he can assume that
the National Committee meant that the
officers not specifically voted for, like
secretary, treasurer and sergeant-at-
arms. were dropped by the National
Committee when the entire executive
committee resigned.
Hays Expected Here This Week
The intention of the committee.
whether it actually did it or not was
to clear the decks for Chairman Hays
by dropping all the old officers as we'll
as the committees. Mr.. Adams HIM
sell resigned as member of. the ex-
ecutlVe committee, as did all the others
present, and it IS believed that Chair
man Hays Will interpret the action last
Wednesday as q desire on the part of
the National Committee for him to have
with HIM as officers and committeeman
for the next two years only those who
will be named by him.
1t is understood that Chairman Hays
viii be in Washington and New York
within the next few days for a con-
ference with local Republicans and
members of the National Committee
who may be in New York. At st.
Louis. following the election of Chair
man Hays, it was understood that the
National Committee Will soon be called
together in Indianapolis.

Colonel Roosevelt
Continues to Gain

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's ply
sician allowed him much more latitude
yesterday than on any preceding day
since his illness, part of his day being
devoted to reading and the reception of
visitors.
With one exception, the visitors were
members of his immediate family; The
exception was John r. King Republican
cut Mr.. King, with whom the Colonel
has been working for eighteen months
or more, was his personal representa-
tive at St. Louis. He made two calls
at the hospital to report on the sue
cess of his mission, the first in the
morning, when he spent twenty minutes
with Colonel Roosevelt, and again in
tho afternoon.
Beyond saying that everybody was
pleased with the selection of Will H.
Hays as national chairman, Mr.. King
had nothing to announce.
Members of the Roosevelt family,
who have been In close attention on
the Colonel, began to leave yesterday.

Princeton. Mrs. Longworth is expected
to return to Washington next week.
AS she left the hospital Mrs. Robin
son said her brother was reading.
"What is he reading?" a reporter
asked.
ooh, everything, including detective
storics," she replied.
No bulletin was issued by the attend
ing surgeons yesterday, and it is doubt
full if any more will be issued, unless
unexpected developments occur.

by Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of the

The call for advice concerning the

Miss Hay replied to Miss Boyd that she

vote just as the soldiers do.
Miss Boyd's letter follows:

am enjoying my work very much. because
1t is caring for our American men, and
there is certainly lots to be done. But even
