information the enclosed cOmmuni-

Very truly yours.

Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor,
New Orleans. La.;.
My dear Mr.. Mayor
Your letter of March, 18th has not
been answered because of my absence
from the city. t.,
Regarding the matter of our sta
ton in Algiers, would advise in
reply to your Inquiry that. the sta
ton is only temporarily discontinued.
The nurse who has been in charge
IS AT present receiving more definite
instruction in the work so as to bet
ter accomplish the results which il
Is necessary for us to develop, and
the station in Algiers we expect to
reopen within a week or ten DAYS,
and the nurse will be better equipped
at that time.
We have no idea of disseminating
the work in Algiers but on the con-
trary, are more than anxious that
the work should be more efficiently
performed than it has been I'D to
this time, and in our operations we
are following distinctly the sugges-
lions of the Federal advisor.
l am very glad to note that you
so promptly took the matter up with
us. and we will be glad at any time
TO have any comments from you re-
garding our work in Algiers.
Respectfully yours,
E. n. KEARNY, President.

SENATOR ASKS
EARLY SENATE
ACTION ON PACT
RansdelI in Speech Urges
End of 'Quibbling'
Over League.

Washington, July 31.-Urging
prompt and unreserved ratification
of the League of Nations covenant,
Senator Ransdell, Democrat. Louis
lana, declared in a senate speech
today that the document met the
ends of universal peace "as closely
as any human agency can"
Everyone demands" said the
Louisiana senator, that something
should be done in order to save
mankind from the horrors of war.
Its enemies submit all sorts of OBJ
jections to this particular league,
but propose nothing in its place.
When one considers the mighty
stake, does it not seem the height
of folly to bubble and complain
about each and every detail of the
covenant, about whether this Il
should be dotted and the It crossed
when the fate of humanity hangs
in the balance?
I'm this most trying hour, the
United States is the sole hope of
mankind. If our mighty republic
fails to ratify the league, the league
will fail, and if the league fails,
the various nations of the world
will continue the same mad effort
for self aggrandizement. At the
close of the next general war dark
ness will settle upon the earth;
men will move back more than
twenty centuries; and Christian
civilization with all the good things
it has done for humanity Fill cease
to exist"

the wisdom of ratifying the peace
treaty, including the League Of
Nations covenant, is not to be
challenged $50 long as they think
above the plane of partisanship."
Secretary Lane declared here last
night before a mass meeting of
government employees.
"It is not an easy question to
answer" Mr.. Lane said, adding
that it was one Ito which we wish
an American answer
"And it takes courage" he de-
clared. whether we stand still and
risk the scorn of a waiting, eager
world, or break through our in
ertia and take the step that leads
to a multitude of new relationships
and possible obligations"
People Favor Curb OF War.
The view of the ordinary citizen
the secretary said he thought was
that as many obstacles as possible
be put in the way of nations desir-
ing to make war but to be left as
free as possible to follow our own
designs, knowing that these do not
endanger the peace of the world >
I'VE will not hazard our national
life or the right of our people TO
determine their own institutions
and destiny" he said. But with
these safeguarded we will go far

"and we may presume much for a
policy which the chosen leaders Of
the 50,0O0,00O of the most civiliz-
ed Of the worlds people have en-

Should Have Been Born Earlier.
Mr.. Lane said he believed every
one would have preferred that the
league should have been born ''in
different way, at a different
time" When Theodore Roosevelt
returned from his trip to Africa,
he added, the former president
made the strongest appeal any na-
tional leader had then voiced ''for
such league"
Then was the day for it's crea-
tion," Secretary Lane continued
But the world did not see the dan
ger it was in"
Such men as President Taft and
Mr.. Root committed themselves to
the project then, Mr.. Lane said,
but "the stern figure of the kaiser
backed by his standing army Of
two million men" stood in their
path.

FARE QUESTION
HAS NOTHING TO
Do WITH WAGES

Chicago, July 31.-The pub
lfc utilities commission this
morning informed us that it
decided last Monday that it
would hear evidence offered on
behalf of the Tri-City Railway
company relative to an in
creased fare, and further, that
it would hear this morning any
evidence we cared to submit
tending TO show that the COM
pany was not entitled to an in
crease.
We then advised the cOmmis-
sion that this being the first
time that we were advised that
any evidence was being intro
duoed, we would refuse TO take
any part in the present hear
ing and urged that the commits
sion should not make any Or
der as to fares until the COM
pany and the employees had en-
tered into q binding contract as
to wages. We then made n mo-
tiOn that the case be continued
for the further taking of evil
dence until after a contract
had been signed between em-
plOyer and emplOye.
We further stated that the
company had no right TO ask
the commission to enter an
order as to fares until it had
agreed with the men instead OF
making the wages of the em-
pIoyes dependent on the action
of the commission. The COM
mission after conference grant
ed our motion and continued
the hearing until next Wednes-
day at 10 Il m. at the Moline
city hall
We strenuOuSly insisted that
the wage question and the fare
question should be entirely di-
VOreed and the utilities COM
mission agreed with this posi-
ton.
