A little village exists ON the Cape of

japanese means 1.-THE Settlement of
Nymphs.p Woman in this village is
the predominant partner. The chief
industry is pearl fishing, and it is the
women who are the fishers. The men
stay at home and do the homework.
From the age of-four girls are taught
to dive. and the craft has always been
iealously kept in the Women's hands.
Recently some of the men became
discontinued and started TO practice
diving with the idea of themselves be-
coming pearl fishers. The women,
dreading the intensified competition,
ordered the men to discontinue their
diving. and as the men refused boy
colt was declared against them. The

finally the women expelled all the
men from their homes and undertook
In their clumsy, inexpert fashion to dc
the houseworky for themselves. The
men have petitioned parliament foi

SCENTS WILSON'S AMBITION.
London Paper Says He Wants Prestige
of Solving Colonial Problems.

LONDON, Feb. Discussing the
colonial questions before the peace con

the Sunday Times says:
8Pfesident Wilson proposals were
undoubtedly. something of bombshell.
His motive Is, of course, by no means
cryptic America expects him to re
turn, bringing his sheaves with him in
the shape Of diplomatic triumpRs, and
his personal prestige and chances of
re election would be immensely en-.
HANGED if he would impose his scheme
of mandatory government on the con
ference.

sympathy with this attitude, and ac

formula which would both minister
to the Presidents ambition and ap

task, but the Prime Minister knows

THOSE HOMEMADE FLAGS.
French Peoples Tribute to Our March

In every city and every village of
southern Belgium and northern France
through which the American army has
passed On its way to the Rhine, the
soldiers have been greeted by the fly
ing Of many American flags. Each of
these hags was made by the women of
the cities and villages, They were flags
of ','ena,Nsarl1 and IA eli work. They
were inaccurate flags, With varying
numbers of stars and stripes bat new

displayed III the redeemed CITIES and

to America; more, even, than an ex-

was no less than token of love.
America first fed those people when
they woaid have starved; and then

/ Every man of the 100000 who are

the display of these flags a sufficient

PRESIDENT FORCED
TO REST YESTERDAY
Stayed Home from Church on Advice
of Physician-Busy All
Day Saturday.
Day Saturday.

PARIS, Feb. 2 ASSOCIATED Press).-
President Wilson on this Sunday had
his first completely restful day since
he landed on French soil. Rear Admiral
,Grayson, his medical aide, was able to
have his way IN this respect, having IN
mind the exceedingly hard work which
marked every day last week, and the
serious departure from the regimen
which has so well preserved the health
and strength of the President up to this
moment The President was even in
duced to refrain from his almost in
variable custom of attending church, in
order to regain vitality which had been
sacrificed.
The progress made last week in the
work of the Peace Conference through
the daily sessions of the council of the
five great powers has encouraged the
hope and expectation that the main
object, the society of. nations, will be
so far advanced toward realization that
it will he possible to get it before the
Peace Conference in plenary session in
time to permit of, its adoption by the
middle of next month, which will en-
able the President to carry out his
UFfSllidl l0ed u letts ing 1OT w dSHtiis TON
about the date previously fixed.
President Wilson spent most of Sat
urday morning at work in his private
office, Instead of availing himself of
THE services of a stenographer he ap-
piled himself assiduously to the type
writer, which fact is taken as an indi-
cation that he was preparing some pa
per requiring the most thoughtful con
sheraton. As it is known to be the
plan of the American delegation to
rush forward plans for the creation of
Society of Nations, it is assumed that
the President, who is a member of the
special commission charged with that
project, was engaged in the preparation
of some statement supporting some one
proposition or general scheme.
