REPLIES TO PoPE's PEACE NOTE
Brazil Charges War Attitude to Her
Sense of Duty.

Reinsurance Of Brazirs determination
not to embarrass her co-belligerents by
any premature Endorsement of peace plans
is contained in her reply to Pope Bene-
diets peace note, a copy of which has been
received by the States Department. The
reply said Brazil could not express an
isolated opinion since 'she has become en-
tirely Misunderstanding it her duty to
be so-with the nations which are now
her allies"
Brazil became a belligerent, the note
said, because Germany brought the war
to America, and her action was not taken
for material gain nor marked by any
hatred Of Germany.

People Are Restrained.

After enumerating the difficulties.
the correspondent writes:
= Nothing but the iron grip of Prus-
sian militarism restrains the nation
from making more pronounced ad-
xances to its adversaries than any
which have yet been made. The Ger
mans are longing for peace, but they
want peace with victory. They no
longer abuse their enemies. as in the
early days Of the war. Doubtless the
shortage of supplies has much to do
with the change of mental attitude.
The proudness of the flesh has given
way before the discipline of fasting.
This accounts for very much in recent
developments of German policy"

ARREST RUMAN|A'S
KING, RUSS ORDER
Lenine Would Carry Ferdinand
to Petrograd and Imprison
Him There.
RESULT OF RECENT TIFF

By the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, January is. Wednesday.
Premier Lenine today signed an order
for the arrest of King Ferdinand Of Ru-
mania. who is to be sent to Petrograd for
and st. Paul.
The order for the kings arrest describes
in detail the way it is to be carried out.
and in which the king is to be guarded.
The bolsheviki believe they have efficient
forces on the Rumanian front to carry it
out.
Alleged Cause Of Order.
The order. which is signed by Premier
Lenine. calls upon Russian soldiers and
officials on the Rumanian front to arrest
the king and deliver him in Petrograd.
on board a special train, for imprison-
ment. 1t constitutes the latest develop
ment in connection with the alleged
starving of bolshevik troops by Rumanian
forces. which led to the arrest of Ru-
manian Minister Diamamdi, and the send
ing of an ultmatum to Rumania demand
ing the punishment of the officials re-
sponsibe.
Ultimatum Not Answered..
No reply to the ultimatum has thus
far been received from Rumania. The
bolSheViki take the position that the
treatment of certain Russian troops on
the Rumanian front warrants repriSalS
of any nature.
The diplomatic corps met at the
American embassy at the call of Min
lister Diamamdi, who explained his
treatment while under arrest and urged
vigorous protest
Austrians Are Arrested.
The evening papers declare that the
arrest by Rumanians of Austrian Off
GERS, who sought to go through the
Russian lines on their way to the Rus
sian front to fraternize with the Rus
sias. is one of the principal reasons
for the crisis between the bolsheyiki
and Rumania.
The Rumanians declared that these
officers broke the armistice agreement
by going beyond certain lines. The
fact of the arrest of the enemy was
Immediately communicated to head
quarters at Brest-Litovsk.

PALM BEACH, March 4.-Mayor
Hylan- of New York, and his family
after a two weeks vacation here, left
for home late tonight. They arc due
in New York about 10 o'clock Wednes
day night.
The Mayor had been asked if his let
ter to Morris Adler, published at length
in New York on March 1, had been put
out with any intention of paving the
way for an announcement that Mr..
Hearst would become candidate for
Geovernor, had answered that he had
never heard Mr.. Hearst mention such
a matter, nor had he himself thought
Of such thing, when Mr. Hearst hap
pened along and sat down. The latter
said that after reading the Adler letter
his clothes no linger fitted him and that
his hat was "busting."
He listened pleasantly to suggestions
that he has both the Governorship and
Presidency in mind. and said nothing.

asked for an expert survey of the com

"Thc Democratic candidate should
win it. Hearst at present seems to me
the strongest in the field for the nom-

of those in national politics. 1t has

such interference has been resented by
New York voters. But President Will

Arrest Of Pickets
AT the White House
Illegal, Says Court
Appellate Bench i'm District
Of Columbia Upholds
Sufragists
IStuf Correspondepccl

WASHINGTON, March A. 49, Every
White House pickct's arrest, likewise
the conviction and imprisonment of
the pickets was illegal. Thi, is the
judgment of the Court of Appeals Of
the District of Columbia, handed down
to-day by Judge Van Orsdel in the case
Of the pichets who appealed last August
after being sentenced to thirty days on
the charge of "unlawful assembly,"
Two hundred and eighteen suf-
fragists, arrested at the White House
with their banners, can now sue the
District authorities for damages, ac-
cording to Matthew f. O'Brien, Wash
ington attorney for the suffragists The
Appellate Court not only reverses the
decision of the District police court,
but orders the cases dismissed.
The highest court points out that
the charge aaginst the pickets was
groundless because assembling on "one
of tho spacious sidewalks Of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue" could rot be considered
unlawful unless one Of the dsorderly
acts defined by the "unlawful assembly
act" such as "engaging in loud and
boisterous talking or other dsorderly
cohuucI, OF INSULTING or making rude
or obscene gestures at or observations
on persons by or in their hearing,
were committed.
The pckets who appealed their cases
were Mrs. Pauline Adams, Norfolk, Va; !;
Miss Vivian Pierce, San Diego, Cal; :;
Miss Maud Jamson, Norfolk, Va; Miss
Lucy Burns, Brooklyn Mrs. Gertrude
Hunter, Minneapolis; Mrs. Clara Fuller,
Little Falls, Mimi; Mrs Mary Lock
wood and Mrs. Kate Bocckcl, Washing
ton; Miss Caroline Beach, Louisville,
KY, and Miss Margaret Fotheringham
Buffalo, N. 7. Miss Burns, Mrs. Adams
and Miss Jamison later served Jail or
workhouse sentences on the unlawful
assembly charge on which the pickets
were arrested
The cases were argued in the Court
Of Appeals in January by Dudley Field
Malone, Of New York, and Matthew g.
O'Bricn, Of Washington.

Two of her brothers are with the
colors. That may account for her
momentary shade Of earnestness.
Why should Anne Martin want
to throw herself into the dust and
heat of politics? Some day that ques-
ton will be unnecessary, but now it is
still real question. She quoted John
Stuart Mill in answering, the passage
in which Mill said the world had never
been able to find out what women were
like, because the cSlgencies Of the
worlds systems-economic and social
had kept them from ever throwing
off mastery long enough to express
themselves.
''If by my example can lead women
a little way out of a bondage that IS the
fault Of nobody, lead them to a larger
expression and larger use of their
lives, help put the whole world at ca
pacitv work instead of only half of it,
it will be worth the fight-even if |
