bled than the congress resolved itself
into a mad scramble for territory.
The rights of people to self-determi-
nation were utterly ignored. The
proceedings We're secret, but enough
leaked out to cause Whitbread to pro-
test in the house of commons, 1--WE
live in an age when free nations are
not to be sold and transferred like
beasts of burden" But that was just
what was done.
Lord Castlereagh pursued at first
wavering policy, until early in Janu-
airy, when the news Of the signing OF
treaty of peace between England
and the United States caused him to
oppose p. boldly, but without success.
the rapacity of Russia and Prussia.
When the congress had been in ses-
sion nearly six months the division
of the spoils was nearly completed.
To Russia was assigned Poland as
she held it until the recent war.
Announced Escape Of Napoleon.
Prussia got One-half of SaXOny,
slice Of Poland and the territories of
which Napoleon had shorn her. North
ern Italy was given to Austria and
central Italy furnished duchies for
Austrian princes. Holland and Bel
GUM were erected into a separate
kingdom. Norway was taken from
Denmark and given to Sweden.
France was confined within her old
limits. The smaller German states
were dealt with according to their
pull" England was allowed to keep
ST. Lucia in the West Indies, the Cape
of Good Hope and few other oversee
trifles, along with Helgoland.
The delegates considered their work
nearly completed when, on the morn
ing of March II, Talleyrand entered
the council chamber his face pale and
drawn, and announced that courier
had lust arrived from France with the
news that Napoleon had escaped from
Elba and was marching on Paris.
At first the delegates broke into
peals of laughter; the laughter was
succeeded by anxiety; and, hastily
passing a resolution declaring Napo-
leon an outlaw, the congress adjourn
ed. Kings and ambassadors hurried
home to reassemble 1,011 900 troops to
hurl again against the man of destiny.

Has Two Floral EmbIems,

Australia is the only country that
possesses two floral emblems. Be
sides the waffle" she has the wara-
tab, described by her earliest botanists
as the most magnificent plant which
her prolific soil provides. At one time
this national flower figured on Aus
tralian postage stamps and postcards.
The botanical title of the waratah
(Telopea), was suggested by the great
distance at which the brilliant Grim
son blossoms can be seen. Australian
black men suck these flowers for the
copious honey they contain, and thus
IN war time they defied their food
controller.

1t is easy to make mistakes in the
hanging of pictures. Observing the
following as guide, you will make
fewer mistakes in this respect. First,
plain paper for the room is almost
imperative. This will give you an OPP.
portunity to use all the pictures, nc
matter what they are. Soft grays
and terra Gotta tones are best for
background. Avoid figured and high
ly-colored papers as these prevent the
picture from standing out. Be careful
not to tilt the pictures too much. Hang
them almost fiat.

Err OF MEXICO TESTiFIEs BE-
FORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Washington. - William B. Mitch
ell, former manager of the Bank OF
London in Mexico City, told the
House Rules Committee that the
sending Of two American military ex-
leditions into Mexico and their sui
sequent withdrawal is largely re-
sponsible for the anti-American FEEL
ing in the Southern republic. The
committee is considering resolu-
ton authorizing investigation of the
relations between >the two countries.
DO you think that the feeling
against Americans was strengthened
by the belief that America or its peo-
rle were afraid to assert their
rights" asked a member Of the COM
mittee.
YES" said the witness. Twice
American expeditions entered the
country and then withdrew"
"The Mexicans then had contempt
for Americana"
"Yes." ...
Mr.. Mitchell said there was a
strong anti-American spirit in the
Carranza administration.
Discussing the mistreatment OF
Americans in Mexico. the witness
said the riff raft" in the Mexican
army was largely responsible for de-
predations in Mexico. particularly in
/ the Tampico district.
Americans are not being treated
with the same consideration as 9th
er foreigners. Mr. Mitchell said, add
/ ing that Henry F. Fletcher, the
/ American ambassador, was openly
insulted on the streets Of Mexico

crime WAVE HITS
NATIONAL CAPITAL
NEGROES AND WHITES FIGHT
BECAUSE OF ALLEGED At
TACKS ON WHITE WOMEN.

Washington.-Congr was asked
to take notice of the race riots and
crime wave in the national capital
and President Wilson was asked to
declare martial law and police the
city with troops, In resolutions in
troduced in the House by Represen-
tatives Clark Of Florida (DemocraD
and vaile of Colorado (Republican,.
A bill for the separation of the
races on street cars in the District
of Columbia was in.yoduceds by Sena-
tor Harrison tBemccrat1-- of Missis-
sippi, who said ne was prompted to
offer the measure because of the race
riots.
Representative Clark's resolution
was scathing arraignment of the
ocal police and the city government.
It proposed that the speaker of the
House appoint select committee 10
investigate the crime was and .he
attacks on women and report what
changes may be necessary in the po-
lice force or the city government and
determine what officials are respon-
sible.
For the past month or so," re-
cites Representative CIark's resolu-
ton, "the capital of the nation seems
to have been infested with the vile3t
criminals in all the land. Larceny,
burglary assaults of various kinds
and attacks on many women have oc-
CURED almost within the shadow of
the capitol building itself The OF,

bia or their superiors are either too
timid or too inefficient to bring these
criminal scoundrels to the bar Of jus
tice. The existing conditions are q
shame and a disgrace to the police
and the higher officials. II is the sol
emn duty Of this Congress to make
the streets of Washington safe fol
the good women OF the land. The
present district government is un
ouestionably incapable, from weak
ness. inefficiency or timidity. tC
deal with the situation with the firm
hand required"
All the resolutions were received
for reference in the usual way.

PACIFIC FLEET IS
IN HOME WATERS
PASSES SAFELY THROUGH PAN
ANA CANAL AND ANCHORS
AT BALBOA.
TRIP TAKES TEN h0USS
siaaest Event in History Of Canal
Admiral Rodman Directs Course
of First Dreadnought Through
the Passage.

Aboard the Flagship U. S. S. New
Mexico.-The Pacific fleet under the
command of Admiral Rodman Is
floating in Pacific waters.
Six dreadnoughts, led by the nag
ship New Mexico. successfully nego-
tiated the Panama canal-the largest
ships that ever have passed through
this waterway. The average time Of
passage for each warship from Colon
to Balboa was 10 hours, eliminating
anchorage time in Gatum lake.
This is the biggest event in the
history of the canal" said Governor
Chester Harding of the canal zone,
after the feat had been accomplished.
These dreadnoughts are the largest
ships and this is the largest fleet ever
to pass through the canal.
Governor Harding boarded the rag
ship at the Pedro Miguel locks and
made the rest of the passage to Bal
boa.
Admiral Rodman visited President
Porras of Panama, who congratulate
ed the naval officer on his success in
negotiating the canal. Approximate
ly $500 sailors were given shore
leave at Panama.
To Admiral Rodman, who planned
the operative organization OF the ca
nal, was given the honor of direct
ing the course of the rst dreadnoughr
to make the trip. Through the reaches
ing the course of the first dreadnought
steamed at 13 knots an hour. On
nearing the narrow confines OF the
Bas Obispo reach, however, John Con
stantine, canal pilot. who eschews ma
vigating charts to the wonder or NJ
val officers reduced the speed to five
knots an hour.
Three hours from Gatum lake t.
flagship passed under the ominou'
shadow of Gold hill, the backbone o
| the continent. where Eaanr slide'
have occurred. In passing Gold hill
the warship, from whose rails the pro
verbal biscuit could have been tosse'
ashore. entered the locks at Pedr'
Miguel.
