"PRoRLEM OF THE FOREIGNER"
W. Nj. U. of the Baptist Church Dis
 eusses Vital Topic.

The monthly missionary of the w. NJ. T. of the Baptist church was held with Mrs. Minor Pipkin yesterday afternoon.
 'Americanization, or the Problem of The Foreigner in our Midst" was the study for the afternoon under the leadership of our president, Mrs. J. L. Nelson. Sc forcefuliy was the situa- tion presented by Mrs. Nelson and others, that a strong spirit of com radeship and helpfulness toward "The stranger in our midst was created. The foreigner. who often is unable to understand or speak English, and who, often, works under the most adverse conditions, was seen as our brother. and one whom we should care for and help whenever it is possible.
 The spirit of helpfulness created in the study was present also in the busi- ness meeting in which many visits to the sick and to strangers were report cu MI D. MSlouOH WAS TSQueSLu to ASK Mrs. Acruman in Texarkana to take potted plant to Miss May Parker, in the hospital there as a token of our loving thought
 Mrs. Leeper consented to assist Mrs. Van Hoy in the Sunbeam work she has recently undertaken, and which, she reported, is already too large for her to handle alone.
 A telegram of sympathy for our ab- sent and deeply suffering pastor was reported by Mrs Nelson, and in an earnest prayer by Mrs. Logic, the guidance and help of God was invoked for him. Attention was called to our orphans box also. and so 1t came about that from beginning to end the meeting was permeated with but one thought, that of helpfulness to all of Gods children
 The next meeting will be Bible study, to be held with Mrs. Van Hoy next Monday afternoon. On the fifth Monday, two weeks hence, social meeting will be held with Mrs. J. Leep- CT. xxx

ADVOCATES OF I
 SMALL ARMY LOSE
Pleas for Reduction of Military Ex- penses Rejected in the House Peace Force 299,O00
 Men.

Washington, March 12-Pleas of little army" men to reduce military expenses were rejected>today by the House, which approved a peace-time establishment of 299,0OO enlisted men and 17,2S0 officers, after rejecting three proposals for a smaller force. The decision, though not final, was reached by a three-to-one vote. This caused supporters of the army reorgan- ization bill to believe that 1t practi- cally settled the peace-time program.
 In addition to authorizing a regular army 100000 stronger than provided by the national defense act of 1916, the House also accepted a lesson of the world war by adopting the principle of permitting the tactical organization of the army to be prescribed by the president instead of by law. Also, it approved of making separate corps of the Air Service, the Chemical Warfare Service and the Finance Department but refused to separate the transpor- tation and the construction services from the Quartermaster Department.
 Representative Dent of Alabama, ranking Democratic member of the Military Committee, opened the at tack for smaller army. His amend ment to fix the maximum strength at 226,000 men and 14,200 officers was defeated. 79 to 25, and soon Repre- sentative Jones, Democrat of Texas, sought to fix the force at 205,00O men but failed 55 to 22 Representative Harreld, Republican of Oklahoma, re- newed the attack, proposing to cut the army to t50,000 men. He was beaten, without a record vote.
 After making a speedy getaway in outlining the future military policy, the House engaged in a long debate owe details, indicating that the bill would not be passed before the end of the week

----------- - LEST WE FORGET,

i From the Southwest American.
 In discussing the enormous indem- nity that Germany has been called up on to pay to the allies, a member of
 the Expeditionary Forces rises to re-
 mark that We ought to think about
 what the Germans would have made us pay had they been successful at arms It may be profitless discussing such thing at this time. but the gen tleman has certainly raised an inter- esting topic of conversation where one has nothing else to talk about.
 We didn't lose the war, and didn't propose to do so, but it would stagger the imagination to compute what it would have cost us if we had lost That is point to keep everlastingly in mind when thinking about what the American soldier did for the world. For, heavy as is the indemnity which Germany will have to pay, it is insig- nificant in proportion to that which she would have demanded She ex- pected to make the world-including the United States-pay heavily for the war. She promised her people they would all be taken care of when the final settlement was made. The in. demnity to be demanded was held up before the eyes of the nation at all times; they were urged to fight on and on, in hope of winning and making the world settle the claims. The color people of the South were made to be- lieve during the Civil war that if the North won they would each receive forty acres of land and a mule. But that was a mere bagatelle compared with what the German people were made to believe they would receive if the kaiser succeeded in forcing his terms upon his enemies.

DECLARE WOMEN
 MANS CHATTEL
Philadelphia Members of the Fair Sex DepIore Condition and Declare That Something Must Be Done
 About It."

CBy International News Service.)
 Philadelphia, March i6.-In the opin- ion of prominent Philadelphia women who are much interested in upholding the right of their sex, the American woman is nothing more than the "chat- tel possession" of the man she marries and, they add. something must be done about it.
 The statement follows the recent London discussion over what consti- tutes the real value of wife, and just where she stands in the list of posses sions for which a man may seek dam ages through the law.
 On the other hand, lawyers here cred chattel possessor any where in our land; that the time when in the eyes of the law she was in the same class with a mans house, land, oxen or horses Is past. but the women elk claim: Why bubble over words?"
 Miss Mary Ingham, wellknown suffrage worker. asks; What Is the good of the law when social customs remain unchanged, and to all intents and purposes a wife still has an actual cash value in the eyes of judges and iuries?"
 'The trouble with women," declares Miss Ingham, is that ordinarily they don't know enough about the law to object to the present-day interpreta- ton of t.
 And whats more, they'll let 8 Spanish novelist come over here and declare the men of this country need suffrage. Yet it isn't many years since a man could sue his wife's employer for her wages, and although she had already received them herself, be re- compensed under the law"
 Mrs. Archibald R. Harmon, promi nent clubwoman, who is identified with most of the women's political work in Pennsylvania, voiced her ob- jections also.
 Its a question of the spirit of the law" she declared When a man has absolute right to the services of his wife and can receive money com pensation for them, yet since 1884 in Pennsylvania is not liable for her debts, there's something radically wrong,
 Mrs Clifford Pinchot. a member of the Republican Women's Committee of Pennsylvania, characterized many of the laws relating to women as Tab surd"
 That's one of the first things wom- en in politics will correct" she said. Its what we have been working for for long time the unification of the law and correct interpretation of it."

Mother of 27 Loves All of Them
Frau Novoczny, 3S, Has Three Sets of Triplets and Four of Twins-Chil- dren Keep Her Young.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Inter | national News Service.
 Berlin, March 9.-The old woman of nursery fame who lived in shoe must look to her laurels. She has a rival. Frau Navoczny is her name and she lives in three-roomed apartment in the east end of Berlin with no fewer than twenty-one children.
 Frau Navoczny. who Is of Polish origin, is young looking woman of thirty-eight
 Yes" she said, when called on her, T am the mother of Berlin's largest family. don't look it? We'll. l think being always surrounded by children keeps one young You see, my eldest are only sixteen 'Are?" said I, not understanding.
 'Triplets," replied the lady: Thy family comprises three sets of trip lets and four of twins. Then I have four others alive, but I have unfoi- tunately lost six. Otherwise my fam fly would number twenty-seyen Come and see how we live" Frau Navoczny led me to two ad- joining rooms which are arranged as dormitories. In one of them six beds with scarlet coverlets are ranged along the walls. Three children sleep in each. The last twins. lusty infants of two years, have a cot in their par ents' room, where the Benjamin of the family, aged four months, also lies in a cradle.
 But how on earth do you all man, age to exist?' asked.
 My husband has good work, and allows me 200 marks week ($5O at pre-war rates) five of the children all so work, and are able to contribute something, while quite a number of people who are interested in my little family are very kind in sending me useful things.
 Thank heaven, my children are healthy. I must admit that it is some times hard to feed the. whole circle My husband can eat the weeks ration of potatoes at one meal, and that means buying lot at fancy prices. Meat? We have a nice stew on Sun days regularly"
 I remarked how pleasant it must be to see the whole family sitting down to its Sunday meal Frau Navoczny laughed. Don't you picture us all sitting round the table" We eat in three parties. We used to take some of all ages in each party but we found that a mischievous triplet or twin would sometimes secure two dinners at the expense of one of his brothers or sisters, so now we sit down by ages. But they eat lot"
 The rooms were spotlessly clean. and the nine children whom I saw during my visit all looked we'll kept.
 Some people" said Frau Navoczny, as took my leave, express their with me. But they can keep their sympathy. They simply don't I love my children and wouldn't be without single one of them. They are good children, and I love them all alike, from the oldest to the youngest"
