VASSAR'S HEAD POINTS
|. WAY TO WOMEN'S WORK

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March American
women ARE not doing their duty by their
country. but are wasting time and effort
in Intellectual forms of war work." DR..
Henry Noble MacCracken, president of
Vassar College, said in a statement to-
night. announcing that a mass meeting
for college women will be held here next
Friday to appeal to them to become
trained nurses for urgent military and
public health service"
What he termed the willingness Of many
American women to go lover there" as
unskilled nurses or futile social workers, %
and "inflict upon their brothers and the
women and children Of the allies the Ia
mentable effects of their ignorance" was
condemned in DR.. MacCfacken's state
ment.

willing to sacrifice her whole life scheme

there are ten thousand who are willing

little value.

and other employees on harbor craft here,
involving more than 50, 900 men, will be

today by Thomas l. Delahunty, secretary
of the Marine Workers Afiiliation. He
added, however. that no member of the
union would leave his work if by SO doing

fered with.
Differences between the marine en-
ployes and the boat owners came to a
head last November, and by mutual con-
sent were referred to federal board of
arbitration. headed by Capt. W. B. Baker
of the Army transport service. The award
was accepted by the men. but .Delahunty
charges its provisions have not been obey

Joseph J. Glatzmayer. president of the
New York Boat Owners Association, ad-
mitted today there might have been a few
cases where the boat owners had not

Louisiana Jury Contradicts Earlier

/. RAYvILLE, La. March "A coroner's
jury investigating the deaths Tuesday
near Delhi, La, of three negroes, Jim

his hogs, the deputy stated. The deputy
said he was unable to confirm reports
that the body of Bolivar Jones was
soaked in oil and burned.
During the trouble Sunday, Bolivar
Jones drew a pistol and shot Ferguson
through the head, killing him instantly

tsecured from Congress for the connec-
ton of the District sewerage system
with Maryland. and the extension of
the water supply also. it only remains
for the Maryland legislature to enact
legislation to carry into effect these
enactments.
But the most important feature of the
proposition, and the one that vitality
concerns the taxpayers of Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties, is the ex-
pense involved in these admittedly
necessary improvements. But for this
consideration, it is probable that no
complaint whatever would have been
heard concerning the bill.
What will it cost US, and how can
we pay for it?' are the questions con-
tinually asked. The commission in it's
bill has used the principle of general
taxation for the payment of trunk line
construction costs; special assessments
for the installation of laterals and sery-
ice rates for the operating and MAIN
tenance expenses. In this way, the
commission argues. the whole district
will bear the burden of what eventually
the whole district will use

Action on Adding Power to Presi-

Opposition to the Overman bill to

measure at meeting of the Senate
judiciary committee yesterday. So
strong has the opposition to this Iegis-

Some members of the committee are
willing to have the bill modified SO
that it would apply only to depart
ments and bureaus dealing directly
with the ARMY and Navy. as a war
measure. If it is modified in that way,
they say, it may be favorably reported.

Better Appreciates Attitude.

These revelations enable me now the
better to appreciate Baron Won Schoen's
attitude when he was in my office on
July 81, 1914. You will remember that
ne asked me what would be the course
of France in case of conflict between
Germany and Russia. The question was
a plain one and undoubtedly the am
bassador expected me to make one or
the other of two answers. by which he
would have profited. He doubtless
thought that 1 would say: In that case,
sir, it is war, in which case he would

provocation to France. or else that |.
overwhelmed by the news he brought
me, would betray weakness so that he
would be encouraged to make his dis
honorable proposal, which a re resenta-
tive of France not only could not con-
slider an instant, but could not even al
low to be made to him.
What 1 did say in answer to him was:
France will be guided by her interests
