SHE TELLS COURT

A strange story was told In Police

fifteen years old.
She appeared as a witness against

Washington Railway and Electric
Company, arrested on serious
charge.
She testified that in February a
year ago. when but fourteen years OF
age. she married a Greek. She lived
with him for several days. and then

nulled because OF her youth and the
fact that she had perJured herself

a man who gave her a coat to cover
the Uniform, and a car ticket to make
good her escape.
She boarded. a Cabin John car and
met Stone. According 10 both her
testimony and that of Stone, she told
him that she was a stranger in Wash

fered to hnd a place where she might
stay until she was able either to OBJ
tain a position or to obtain funds to
get to her home.
He left his car IN charge OF his motor
man, and took the girl to the home Of
Mrs. Lena Mackworth. where he had
formerly boarded. He gave her s. and
requested that she take care Of the girl

HIS MESSAGE

NO APPLAUSE

PETR0GRAD, March 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson's message of sympathy
10 the Russian people was read to
the Pan-Soviet Congress at Moscow
amid a silence interrupted by muir
,ndrs regarding the Japanese situa-
tion.
The Congress, which met to vote
on ratification of the German-Bol-
shevik peace terms, today adopted a
resolution in reply to President Will
sons message.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution reads:
The congress OF Pan-Soviet eN-
presses its appreciation to the Ameri.
can people, particularly the toilers
and those who are being exploited. for
their sympathy toward the Russian
people. at a time when the Russian
Socialist republic is experiencing its
greatest hardships.
"The republic takes advantage Of
President Wilson's message to express
20 all peoples, perishing and suffer
ing as a result Of the imperialistic
war, its warm sympathy and con-
tant when the masses will overthrow
capitalism and establiSh q Socialist
Society which alone is capable OF Civ.
sng lasting and just peace and as.
suring the welfare Of the toilers."

S0VIET'S REPLY TO
MESSAGE FROM U. S. is
THOUGHT GERMAN SCHEME

That the Bolshevik leaders have
definitely cast their lot with the Ger.
mans was further proved today by
the chilled reception given President
Wilson's message TO the soviet con.
Eress and its response inviting an
Upheaval Of American labor.
The resolution. angling for an up.
sising Of the tOilers, is regarded here
as playing the German game at the
direct instigatiOn Of Lenine's German
paymasters-

United States. the Soviet resolution

Suggestions that a feeler had already
been given England based on such a
scheme were without official confirma.
ton here, but as pointed out recently
by the United Press. military men and
diplomats have foreseen the likelihood
OF such proposals.
Lenine Dominates.
, Lenine's domination of the soviets
was seen in the resolution as cabled
today. And that document was gen.
dence now regarded by this Govern.
ment that he is trying to stir up Rus.
sia against the allies and for Ger.
many. Soviet Endorsement Of the
peace terms was not unexpected
And, while the cold hearing given
the Presidents message was discour-
aging. yet authorities thought that
its effect with the masses of Rusyis
will still do good IL 1t can be pre-.
sented fully to them without German
propaganda distortion.
As for the question OF japanese in.
tervention-it is considered quite pos.
sible Japan will now regard as more
pressing the need for action in ST.
berla IN the lght or the soviet In
dorsement OF the Russo-German peace
and its trapped attitude toward
American pledges of aid.
Japan's Action PuEEle-.
The murmurs Of the soviet congress
about the Japanese situation would in
dicate that the Russians are not fully
informed OF American opposition to
japanese intervention.
That single suggestion was taken
here to support thoroughly the Amer
lean position that japanese action
would cement the Russian trend to-
ward Joining hands with Germany.
As for Japanese action, il was sug,I
gested by persons close to the en-
bRssy today that IT would not be
taken in advance of the arrival of
Ambassador Ishii. He has not yet
left Toxic, but his departure is i'm
minent. President Wilson has conf
dence in Ishii, and conferences with
him may help to clarity difficulties
considerably, unless indeed the Jsps
consider action ESSENTIAL before he
has time to reach here.

mean by the working mother, the mother
who goes out from the house to work
for wages, not the one who works to keep
her house in order at home.
No mother can delegate her functions
to another. Motherhood is the most val

No other form Of industry should be al
lowed to usurp its place.
The State and the city should take Wig
orous steps to prevent mothers from work

is necessary to keep her at home should
be freely granted.
The State requires the child of a certain
age to go to school. It has the same
