Feminine Smokers Object

Paris. May s.-Leading French suf-
fragettes are protesting against the
new regulations under which women
are excluded from the privileges of
the distribution of tobacco by card.
Nine. Dewitt Schlumberger, altho
favorin-y prohibition of the use of to-
bacco by minors, considers the appli-
cation of the restrictive measures to-
women exclusively as arbitrary and
unjust Other leaders of the feminist
movement have expressed themselves
likewise.
Nine. Jules Siegried, president of
the National Council of Women, ap-
proves The measure. She declares the
tobacco should be reserved for the
poilus who have well earned it.

WHITMAN PROTESTS
AGAINST PASSAGE
OF MACHOLD BILL

Albany. N. Y, March 1S.-A mess
age protesting against the passage of
the Machold bill, designed to provide
for an advisory referendum by which
the electorate of the state might ex-
press their sentiments regarding the
ratification of the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution was
sent to the assembly by Governor
Whitman tonight.
The reading of the document oc-
casioned great surprise among the as
semblymen, as it had been generally
that they had decided not
to take such action.
IAN evasion and a deception is
the way the governor described the
Machold bill. Re reminded the as
semblymen that a similar idea origi-
mated with the ~so-called Tweed
minority in the senate of. 1869, in an
attempt to defeat the fifteenth amend
ment to the United States constitution.
In the message the governor held
hat the proposed referendum would
cause it would have no binding effect

lature," he said. would. be legally
bound to abide by the result of the
proposed so-called referendum,

Governor Whitman declared that he

question by direct vote If it were pos.

BELCIUM'S COLONIAL
POLICY AFTER WAR
SUBJECT OF SPEECH

Paris, Feb. 11.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. )-Belgium's coll
onial policy after the war and the
fate Of the Belgian Congo after peace
has been concluded was the subject
of an address delivered at the Sor-
bonnie yesterday by Mr.. Rankin, the
Belgian minister. of colonies.
There has been much talk lately"
said Mr.. Renkin, "of the fate Of
Central Africa. 1t seems to me that
the fate of that territory has been
settled for a long time, as farla as that
part of it which is not German pos
sessions is concerned. AS to the fate
of the German colonies, it is not for
me. either to suggest or to advise" y
There has been a question raised
lately az to the Observation-Disclosures
of the basin Of Central Africa or il
not complete Observation-Disclosures, at
national control for the protection Of
the natives. Those are generous ideas
perhaps but wholly impracticable,
contrary to the notion Of sovereignty
and incompatible with justice"
Mr.. Renkin expressed the opinion
that no policy could be adopted that
would deprive Belgium of it's absolute
sovereignty in the Congo. He said:
Small and modest as Belgium finds
itself now. it has conscience Of hav-
ing said the words and of having done
the deeds inf eonfor1nity, with Sihenor
and duty when the terrible aggression
of Germany put civilization in jeop-
ardy. The least that civilization can
do for it after the war is to see that
it's integrity and sovereignty and in
dependence, its territories be restored
and that it be guaranteed against
future outrages.
Belgium has sacrificed all to it's
duty; into the scales of destiny with
out hesitation she has thrown all her
strength for the defense of civiliza-
ton. The least that can be recog-
nized by the world now is, that while
there may be guarantees equal to the
word of Belgium, there is zone SUI

roses, in one form or another, Is with
us this year in a guise that is really
the acme Of its happy history. For

quaint and becoming that they made
immortal a whole school of dress de-

have the Kate Greenaway sailor

Close against the base Of the crown
are nestled. daisies and roses embroid-
cred in rose and crystal beads.
