The Appointment of Miss Sellers

The Woman's party may be cheated out Of
vote on the suffrage amendment before Congress
takes a recess, but every woman in the country
should be grstifed by the Presidents appointment
of Miss Kathryn Sellers to be judge Of the District
Juvenile Court.
For the first time in the Nations Capital
woman will wear the ermine for other than purely
decorative purposes
There is no reason why woman should not
hear and Judge more wisely than man the diff
entities which arise in the juvenile life of this city
She viii listsn with feminine patience to the
complaints and treat with justice and sympathy the
boys and girls whose future lives may depend very
largely on the wisdom of her rulings.
It is an experiment exceedingly well worth try
ing; exceedingly probable Of good results

Another Comparison PrSes Help Along with

Prices the Lowest Possible Level
BY EARL GOODWIN.

Many Washingonans who do not travel widely wonder
why it is that outsiders complain Of high food prices In
this city
The is that in many towns and cities you do not
have to pay much for food you do here

be sensational to throw suspicion upon any class of bus
ness but in sincere effort to make living cheaper In Wash

If the prices sensational, newspaper should bo
blamed for printing them The right thing Is to uproot tia
evil; the wrong thing is to conceal it
Therefore do present today the comparison of prices

Browne of Wisconsin.

FOR CONFERENCE
OF The NATION

London, May ia suggestion that
the United States might ask Holland to
take the initiative in calling upon the
Allied governments to confer at The
Hague, not in substitution for, but as
a preliminary to the third Hague peace
conference, was made by George Nicoll
Barnes, Labor member of the War
Cabinet without portfolio, in discuss
ing the question of a league of ma
tions last night He expressed hope
that another Hague peace conference
would be held after the war.
An Allied conference at The Hague
now, Mr.. Barnes added, could be
held without slackening efforts to beat
the Germans and in fact might even
induce Germany to respect her posi-
ton in the world. People everywhere
are ready for such a meeting, he said

remain comparatively inactive in
their sun baked defenses, and were it
not for the grumbling of the guns,
the clouds old ust along the lines of

zone, it would be hard to realize that
a war was going on.
Notwithstanding this, there has been

For the next half hour that little

And as you might well. imagine, the

And what a blessing it is to these
meek, tortured people, who for months
have been without all of life's COM

1t is perhaps understandable to
them that 'les Americans" out of

.BALFOUR SPEECH
PUTS PACIFISTS
IN THEIR PLACES

London, May 1.-THE London
morning newspapers, with one excep-
ton, wholly endorse the position tax
en- by Foreign Secretary Balfour on
the question of peace proposals., set
forth in his house of commons speech
yesterday. The newspapers contend
that in that speech he disposed final
ly of the pacificist suggestion that an
opportunity for peace was missed in
the way that the letters of the EN-
peror Charles last year were dealt
with. The Daily News, which sup
plies the exception, in taking the op-
posite view, says that the facts so
far as they are known do not sup
port Mr.. Balfour's claim that the
attitude of the Allies was justified.
at is impossible to believe for ex-
ample it says, that if the negotia-
tons had been conducted by Presi-
dent Wilson instead of by the three
statesmen who conducted them, he
would easily have accepted the con-
clusion that they offered no hope of a
stable peace.
