Mrs. J. R. Forbes, the well-knOwn
woman traveller, who lately returned
to England after wandering for sew
eral months from Moscow to Syria,
tells a story of her discovery Of q
tribe of women VIII live underground.
They are to be found In the caves Of
the TripOli mountains and come up,
says Mrs. Forbes, only once In the
course Of their lives. That Is when
they marry and change their abode for
that of their husband. Being cOntin-
ually in their underground caves re-
markable change takes place In their
appearance. They become very white
In the face, and their eyes become dark
and brilliant. AS they grow older
they are seized with a passion for
dyeing their hair with HERNIA. In the
daylight these women are almost
blind; in fact they stagger about as
though under the influence of drink.
Their houses are spacious enough for
them TO keep all their live stock un-
dergrOund, including their camelS.

the day most favored, too, by those

Saturday also has bad reputation ;
Its speciality is murders; and fully

Saturday also holds the record for

The people of central Japan, where

and contented and crop prospects are
favorable, due to the fact that the

excellent care
Rice, millet and vegetable crops are
IN splendid condition, while the silk
crop is the best in years. Fine, large

Telegram to Root Arouses Fear Candidate Is Sraying
From Path Dictated by White House

have reached a climax in his telegram
TO Elihu Root.
White House officials to-day refused
to make informal comment on the Cox
telegram to Root. Asked If Gov. Cox
had not strayed from the position
taken by President Wilson, Mr.. Turn
ulty and others declared not. With
out Specifying just when and how,
they made the statement that the
President had sought advice Of others
in framing the league covenant. and
that he had consented to accept reser-
vations TO safeguard American inter-
ests.
AT the same time there was ap-
parent wonder at the White House
why Gov. Cox should show such haste
10 call Mr.. Root to account for what
ne declared was a misstatement of his
position. In less prejudiced quarters,
however, it was plain the Democratic
nominee feared to let the impression
so out that he is against Americana
ing the league covenant.
