HER INFINITE VARIETY.

Those who had the rare pleasure OF
looking in on a plenarv session 6f the
International Womans Conference al
Geneva were. in few instances, uncon-
WINGED that out Of such a variegated group
unity of action and opinion could be pos
sible. There were delegates from all parts
Of the world blond and heavy Scandna-
vians. robust and energetic Americans,
frail and brunette Spaniards,. ltailans
and Greeks, expressionless and saffron
colored Japanese and Hlndus IN over
embroidered gowns.
And there were Frenchwomen despite
the fact that, though France has marched
at the head of so many movements of
emancipation, it will be long while be-
fore she enfranchises her daughters.
And we must not forget the delegate
from Iceland who journeyed Tor thirty
DAYS to be with us and came dressed IN
festival costume But Lady Astor, our
good colleague from England, was the
charm and grace OF the conference.
What will come Of 1t allP Notwithstand-
| ing the opposition the women are meeting
| in certain countries-Spain, Italy, Swift
| zerland, Turkey, France the day Is
not far distant when we will act as body
| in moral, political, educational and do
nestle questions. And our voice will b,
heard when the spectre of war threatens
| TO arise-Alice La Maziere IN Figaro

Firemen Still In Control.

The fact that some Of the fire COM
panies responded TO the alarm for small
fire, Monday evening, is assuring that
the city is not as yet entirely without
some measure Of protection. There are,
however, so many threats OF withdrawal
of one company or the other, or OF part OF
the apparatus, that it is directly empha-
sized that Wilmington is without any
say in the matter-that she has absolutely
no control of the apparatus nor OF the
men. They can go to fire If they want
to and if they do not there is no power 70
compel them to- possibly except sun
at law to compel fulhlment OF the COM
panies' contracts with the city.
The public is in accord on the propo'
sition that the time is at hand for the city
TO learn exactly where it stands and &c
end this menace to our property, winch
would follow fulfllment of the threat te
withdraw or strike.
1t may require much prodding to IN
duce Council to act promptly and sanelS
in this emergency, but it can be hrough
TO understand that it was elected TO i"r

strong for prohibition, and Senator Morris

Related HOnors Of War.

The distribution Of medals for our boys
who served in the World War seems small
and much delayed recognition Tor the
work of aiding in making Democracy
safe and "the world fit" as the purpose
of the war on Imperialism was so aptiy
phrased by one who saw back oil the a,n
and smoke of battle that IT was not mercy
tho war at stake, but civilization and
Christianity. It has been more than
two wears since the fighting stopped ana
Congress- meanwhile has been busy bawl-
ing against the supreme victory won pS
Americans in the trenches leaving the
rewards Of the soldiers wait. The other
allied countries bestowed their medals
and decorations long ago.
The doughboys have had to wait IN
patience while hostile Congress abused
the administration for successfully con-
ductinr the war wifhoutkts consent, until
the snlendid services of the men in the
ranks have been almost entirely forgotten
and the soldiers have to leave the furroW
or the store or factory to receive the THANKS
of Congress so long after they were du'
that the symbols lose their value.

Wilmington doctors are to fight the
new tax by which it is planned TO increase
the revenues of the city, on the ground
that it is likely to establisha dangerous
precedent" Probably the same objection
was raised when the original scheme for
taxation was first conceived away back
in the semi-dark ages. However danger
Gus the precedent it is conceded that the
CITY must have more revenues to meet the
increasing costs of municipal development.
