hurry, says newspapers in comment
ing on manner which thousands o.!
London women, lining the streets dur
ing the reception to Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig, commander Of the
British armies in France, cheered him
to the echo.
They were vitally changed from
the women who used to be; carefully
escorted to pre-war pageants in the
London streets observes one paper.
TT was evident these women had
learned the right to cheer. GenteeI
huttering Of scrappy handkerchiefs IS
no longer good enough for the woner,
who have worked and waited through
the grey days of sorrow, when war
heroes come home"
Crowds needed no urging to make
way for women in uniform. They
soon found line places, and were
for Field Marshal Haig while the
fetal party was lunching in Buc!Sing-
ham Palace with the King. High
and shrill rang their voices, I've want
Hais, we want Eaig'' and when that
failed to bring the commander Of the
British armies in France to the bal
cony, they led the refrain "Haig.
Haig, Haig.''
AS this did not set the desired re-
suit, they finally gave it up AID lex.

spirit of the occasion as We're the

, recently arrived in London with Z

terized by some London newspapers
! as .'onc Of the most remarkable men
/ produced by the war
A fair-haired young Englishnlan Oh
29, smallish of stature, Colonel Law
renee gave such services to the Arab
cause that he was treated as sheru
and given the additional rank OF
e,nir. which is equivalent to that OF
prince. No other European or Chris
tim. according to the London Daily
Mail has ever received such dis
tiiaction at the hands Of the royal
family which is the senior descend
ont of Mohamned.
Before the waf Colonel Lawrence
w.s a student Of histor::- at Oxford.
As he was able 10 speak two Ara :
ban dialects, he was sent By the war
Office in 1914 to do intelligence WORT
in Egypt. Later he was assigned TO
,aid in the negotiations with the King
Of the Hedjaz who reyolted against
the Turks at Medina in June, 1916, at
! terward joining the Sherif's military
service. He adopted the full Arab
field kit Of flowing robe, l1eadpsece
i and golden dagger.
With Sheriff Feiseul. he planned the
blowing up of troop and Hunitlon
trains on the Eedjaz line. and so sue
) ccsful were their operations that the
Turks put a price on their heads OF
ts85.00O each if taken alive, and $685.
900 dead.
I They blew up seventeen trains, one
i great troop train which contained
sDjemal Pasha. commander in chiei
J: OF the Turkish army. and his staff
For this train Colonel Lawrence lay
In wait for nearly three days .ane
j nights.
Several trains were permitted t
pass in safety. Then came the big
one and Colonel Lawrence pressed
button that set off mine. The two
huge engines were toppled into IA
v;ne and the train was wrecked
Djemal Pasha's car near the end wa:
dcrailed, and the commander in chic
was launched into space. Uninjured
/! he picked himself UP from the sane
and fed for life, tearing off as, he raj
his medals, decorations and epau
lcttes. These were found later ant
given to Colonel Lawrence.

Demand Short Day
Move<<aent Comprises Half New
England Textile Industry.

Boston, Jan. a7.-The movement
among textile workers for the inaugu-
ration of universal eight hour day
in the industry beginning next Mon
day was, extended today to comprise
approximately one-half the mill in
Gustry in New England. Workers IN

Rhode Island and Of the Blackstone
Valley in Massachusetts,, Salem and

the demand previously made by opei-
atives at Lawrence, Lowell and Man
chester, n. H. The mills in these
cities employ an aggregate of up
wards Of 10000 persons.
liz addition announcement was
made that other centcrs of the mill
industry will be asked to join the
movement at meetings to be held dur
ing the week.
!. The success OF the movement. as
inaugurated by the United Textile
Workers Of America, would mean, &C
'cerding to a statement by President
John Golden of Fall River. an eight
hour day for textile plants in all
parts of the country. Its adoption IN
the Southern States would reduce The
working time from 60 to 48 hours and
in most of the Northern States from
81 hours. President Golden today said
the employees wanted the same pay
for 4s hours they had received for the
longer work.
Mill owners in some instances have
made no answer to the demand bl.
wherever there has been reply II
has been q refusal. w. Frank Shove,
president Of the National Association
Of Cotton Manufacturers, announced
a few days ago that representatives
of that organization, Of the Nationai
Association of Wool Manufacturers
and Of the Silk Association of Amer
lea were agreed that the demand
should be rejected and it was stated
today that this announcement cover
ed the present position Of the orga n,
izations which represent the E1anu7
facturers in New England.
A representative of the cotton man
ufactuing interests i'll this city said
today that the mill owners felt Ger
tain there would be no strike. he
would not say wtat action was beins
considered to meet the. announced
plan of the textile operatives te
leave their places after eight hours
work each day.

induce the treasury to Geep the fnl$

ing issues.
Further tax exemptions on bonds
already outstanding. acceptance of
them in payment of certain forms OF
them into securities bearing high ir-g
terest rates are means which might be
taken to maintain the prices Of out
standing bonds
Bankers are urging the treasury to
make the interest rate on the next

Praises the
Monroe Doctrine
Finds Favor With the British
Authority.

London, Jan. 20 british Wire'ess>.
Lord Robert Cecil the British au-
thority on a league of nations, prais-
ed the Monroe doctrine in an inter
view today regarding the interest of
neutral countries, especially Latin
AMERICA, II, a teaScc OF nations.
Neutral countries can net. OF
course, take part in deliberations di-
rectly concerning war problems" he
said. but SO far as league Of ma
tions is concerned, If neutral coun-
tries prepare a practical plan for sub
to the conference the repre-
sentatives Of the great powers viii be
glad to consider it. although it must
be plan containing concrete issues
and not theoretical solutions drawn
upon paper.
"The Monroe doctrine has given
ctory results in practice which
justifies it's further application as a
model Of operation. The league Of
nations could appoint the American
nations themselves as the nlandatories
for the execution of it's principles re-
garding territorial integrity so far es
these principles affect American coun-
tries In this manner the United
States and the Latin American re-
publics could act in conformity with
their policy already established
Lord Robert added that if the Eu-
ropean action were excluded in the
American continent the occasion
might unjustly damage the European
interest. To avoid this it would be
advisable that a court or similar in
stitution be formed By the American
countries themselves to consider and
decide the, sanctions applicable in
each case.

DR.. Jonathan c.. Day, Commissioner
Of Foods and Markets, gave the
opinion today that there would be no
rebound from the fall in the market.
He said: vi
There may be an increase OF 25
per cent of the decline, but not more
than that. Butter and eggs are going
down because the warm winter has
been favorable to their production.
And there is a tremendous supply Of:
meats for foreign shipment that viii p
