NEW YORK, April 15.-Porto Rico

The invasion Is TO be an Unarmed
one, however, and by express invita-
tiou OF the Porto Rican government
The invaders are nineteen Congress
men with their families.
They are to be given such a time
as they never had in the States, and
incidentally, Porto Rico hopes that
what they see OF the island-and they
are to see Porto Rico from San Juan
to the southern shore-will dispose
Congress kindly toward Porto Rico's
statehood ambitions. The party
sailed yesterday on the Coamo, Of the
Porto Rico line.
Certainly II an impartial hearing
can come from Congress the person
mel OF the party should insure one.
For the junket OF so harsh a word
may cloak such a trip and such trip
persl is headed-by ''Uncle Joe" Can
non, who VIII celebrate his eighty
third birthday, in all probability. be-
fore he returns, and by Claude
Kitchin, late majority leader in the
House. The gathering years. how
ever, do not seem to have diminished

party.

LODGE AND PACIFIST
'KISSAND MAKE UP

BOSTON, April 15.-Counsel for
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Alex
ander Bannwart, of this city, have
drawn up a statement explaining the
circumstances which led to the ex-
change Of blows between the Sena-
tor and Bannwart in the Capitol at
Washington on April ., 1917.
Bannwart has announced that this
tais statement would be regarded as
a settlement Of the suit for S20, 900
which he brought against Senator
Lodge and upon which there was to
have been a hearing in court here.
Bannwart maintained that he was
assaulted by Senator Lodge: that the
Senator had him arrested and con-
fined in q police station in Washing
ton, and made false and malicious
statement against him. Bannwart
wrote to Senator Lodge:
81 feel that there can be no ques-
tion as TO the actual facts, namely:
That the discussion, while doubtless
annoying to you, because Of your diff
ference of conviction, was neverthe-
less entirely respectful UP to the
point when you said: All those
working for peace are cowards.'
Thereon I retorted: It's the war
party who are cowards'
You then lost your head and cried
out in anger: You're a damn liar
"Whereupon replied; 4 might re-
turn the compliment. Immediately
you struck without warning and
returned the blow"
In a letter written by his secre-
tary to Bannwart, Senator Lodge
said: your version IL now In ac-
cordance with actual facts"

NORWAY IS FIRST
IN DISARMAMENT

Norway has taken the lead in world
disarmament, reducing her military
appropriations for 1920 by 100000
crowns, or approximately $780, 900.
according to Scandinavian adVices.
The army expenditures will be re-
duced, 1t was stated. by limiting the
training period for men OF military
age, and the navy by the reduction Of
the construction program and orders
for new equipment.
The step came as a surprise in dip
lomatic quarters here, as IL had been
expected Norway might assume an
aggressive attitude regarding Scandi-
naVian influence in the Baltic at the
hnal League OF Nations parley.
The total Norwegian budget for
the coming year IL 214. 4.443.9O0 crowns.
or approximately $50. SOC. 900. It was

"In the great war through which

will be known a. the war against
warp, men turned to Jefferson's writ
ings for direction and for the last
word of inspiration. They found II in
an extract from his letter written in
1907 to Nine. de Stael, In this SEN
tence: when wrongs are pressed
because It is believed they viii be
borne, resistance becomes morality.
at was in this spirit that the men
Of America weighed the wrongs
which Prussianism pressed upon the
world, and they entered the war be-
cause Il became apparent to all that
resistance had become morality
Though he abhorred war as the
greatest scourge OF mankind, Mr..
Jefferson gave a shibboleth to the
fighters for Amediean Independence
and a motif for American parttcipa-
ton in the war which brought 2,OOO,-
coo youths from his country to
France, whose soil has forever been
made sacred TO Us BY the blood OF our
bravest and best.

COFFEE HAS A KICK"
Two Cups Equal to Twenty One
Pints of One-HaIf of One Per
Cent Beer.

st. Louis, Mo, Nov. Six authori-
ties on alcohol and it's effect after
tests on men and women, regular
drinkers, occasional drinkers, and total
abstainers have found:
Two cups of coffee have as much
kick" as twenty-one pints of one
half of L per cent beer.
A stomach full of 2.75 is only enough
for one-quarter of one drunk.
Twenty-one and a half quarts of
one-half of l per cent beer at a sitting
is necessary for intoxication, but the
human stomach will only hold one
seventeenth of that quantity.
Six pints of one-half of 1 per cent
beer rapidly consumed is the same as
one teaspoonful of alcohol.
These facts are contained in affi-
dsvits filed by the six authorities, in
GLIDING DR.. John Marshall, professor
of chemistry and toxicology in the
University of Pennsylvania. The affi-
davits were filed in federal court here
in support of the application of st.

CHIC, LOOK AT EN-
School Teachers "Classyo From
Hats to Nifty Shoes.
Be-Spectacled Model Forever
Retires Into History.
LIKE PICTURES IN VOGUE"
Topeka Visitors May Be Con-
sentative but Not Priggish.
State "Supe's" Ideas About
Rouge Get Rough Jolt.
LIKE PICTURES IN "vOGUE"

Say, these teachers certainly are
er, what do you call it-chic? That's
the word-chic,'' said a young man
this morning. Such is the impression
received of the feminine portion of
visitors attending the Kansas State
Teachers association by those who are
not only observers, but competent
judges.
For the visiting teacher is smart
looking from the crown of her modish
hat to the tips of her nifty shoes. Her
suit is well tailored, her hat has de-
sirable line" and her furs have the
sheen" that show quality. Kansas
avenue was today Travelled by visiting
teachers who might have stepped out
Of Vogue"
The be-spectacled, high collared,
prim looking model from which the
out-of-date picture of a school teacher
was drawn apparently is not present at
this convention. She has no promi-
nent place in this gathering of teach
ers who have shown that they can be
attractive as well as intellectual.
Those Girlish Sailors.
There are varying types of teach
ers present, of course. Not all of them
wear with their "trig'' costumes a
o'shanter set off by fluffy furs. The
middle aged teacher is just as at
tractive as the teacher who is but a
year or two out of college. She may
be conservative and sensible, but not
priggish. The old conviction that you
can always spot a teacher by her
looks" does not apply. In fact, if the
teachers did not have a slightly I'M
certain air of being in a strange place,
Topeka could not spot" the visitors as
teachers by their Cooks"
Whether or not the feminine teach
ers are complying with the straight
and narrow path regulations regard
ing the use of complexion beautifiers
set forth by the state superintendent OF
public instruction, is food for specu-
lation. One cannot be certain that
rouge and powder have no part in pro-
ducing the teachers pretty appear
ance. Anyway, she manages to make
herself highly satisfactory to the critic
of face and fashion.
