as that on which President Millerand

When the President returns to Paris
early In May he will have been absent
from the Palais Elysee about five

velopment Of the rich territories.

was the erection Of mosque in Paris

There is no doubt that about the
tertiary epoch, very near to GUYS, there
existed three great species, the lcmurs,
the apes and man; ard that those
species had no resemblance whatever TO

from resembling that Of to-day. The
physical conformation OF the human
body shows this. Why arc our kidneys
suspended without protection, without
any support, in vertical position {!
Why is the liver so badly fastened? It
can be shown that in the position Of

Our organs are those of q quad

have with the apes. The latter are not
our direct ancestors; we have evolved
only parallel with them. Man does

Women Capture Many Home Of
fices, but Family Cares Keep
Them From National Field

Miss Anne Martin, OF the National
William jennings Bryan Of the fem
inine political world, and il has also
another would-be woman senator, Mrs
Lydia Ames Williams, who has an
nounced her candidacy for tho cleo
tion next fall.
When it comes to holding office in
their own home towns, however, the
women show an astonishing increase
all over the country. In the conserva-
tive South and the unconventional West
and staid New England, we find the
woman member Of the city council, the
woman county clerk and the woman
commissioner, 1t Is their ardor for
such offices that shows the real extent
Of the women's interest in public af-
fairs. For two reasons the larger po-
liticsl offices are, and probably long
will be, beyond the reach OF the aver
age woman.
In the first place Il woman Of mstur-
ity sufficient to recommend her to the
state Of national Offices is likely to be
married and so involved with domestic
cares that she cannot leave her home
to take up residence in a distant city.
The two women who have been mem
bers OF Congress have both been IN
married. In some Of the states there
are "commuting lcgislatures' which
would make IL possible for women to
officiate in both homo and legislative
halls. but these states Rre compare
lively few in number.
The other great reason for the conspic-
uous sbsence of women from tho moro
important offices is that these are held
By Yben, who have not welcomed The
rivalry Of the women; nor hGvc She
political leaders yet been convinced
that it is good politics to give the
riches: and sweetest plums to women.
Calls OF Home Prevent
Entrance Into Public Office
That there are women OF talent and
experience broad enough to guarantee
their success in legislative positions, it
does not seem necessary to argue. but
also It 10 true that thero are at the
moment fewer women who feel them
selves competent or anxious to hold
such positions, and there has been 1T
tie pressure on the whole from the
public for their presence. Under such
conditions it is not strange that the
total number of women IN legislatures
throughout the country is so small.
1t is as easy for u woman TO be
county clerk or postmistress as to be
a stenographer or a school teacher. She
can preside over a meeting Of her
county committee with as little sacri-
flee Of her home duties as over meet

NJ. Emile Massard, who in the course
OF the World War vas the Military
Governor of Paris, in la Libert@"
makes some striking revelations of the
activity of German espionage in that
city.
IN 1914, less than a month after the
invasion Of the north, he says, the
German armies had for their purpose
not only the capture Of Paris, but also
It's destruction, one arrondissement
after another, if the French govern
mont did not consent to a peace.
The second day of the entry into Paris
Won Kluck was TO summon the French
government to capitulatc, and, in the
case of its refusal, to begin the follow
ing day with The destruction of two
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Of the east, the third
day the cite and La Saintc Chapellc, on
the fourth day the Arc de Triomphe
and the quarter of the Champs -Elysees.
Spies in the pay Of Germany had
been commissioned to cause a reign Of
terror in Paris and to blow up it's prin~
cipal monuments. Thus Prussian mill
tarism planned the destruction Of the
lnvalides, Of Napoleon's tomb and of
the Governor of Paris and his staff.

promise that the president of France
would personally visit Algeria and

Perhaps the British government had
the same influence in mind when the
Prince Of Wales began his long swing
through Egypt and India. Perhaps the
foreign ministers Of France, England
and Italy, meeting recently in Paris,
took into consideration the Islamic
unrest when they proposed the return
Of Constantinople to the Sultan and
the perpetuation Of Turkey in Europe.
President Millerand's trip in north
ern Africa will be made mainly by
automobile.
