marry any man she wishes" So
every woman naturally gifted by
beauty and grace can live for and

consider them subservient to spirit
and soul and useful to her only as
they serve her spiritual growth and
progress.

HUE WAS LEADER OF
 COAL MINERS UNION
Famous German Had the Appear ance of a Sunday School Teacher

Essen, Germany, May 22. - Otto
 Hue, whose death occurred here re- gently was the recognized leader of the coal miners and ironworkers' trade~ unions, whose membership runs into millions.
 Lean and active, with his dropping
 red mustache, his slouch hat he look ed more like a Sunday school ihspec- tor than the leader of a great party.
 He was social democratic member of the Reichstag, the Prussian Diet and the economic parliament
 He represented labor on the Ger man delegation to the Spa conference, and it was mainly through his in strumentality that the stipulated coal deliveries to the entente were upheld.
 He showed his breadth of mind on this occasion by taking his stand side by side with Shines, the great coal magnate, to whom he was on almost every other point mortally opposed, but as he himself said, fire and water were for once working toward the same end.
 Hue always remained the man of the people. He preferred to speak low German, thus endearing himself to the mining population. Once after addressing miners meeting, he sat down on the platform, took four pound country loaf and an enormous miners knife out of his pocket and calmly munched slice after slice to the huge delight of the spectators. He is one of us," they said
 Hue was man of undaunted cour- age. In 1920, during the red dis turbances in the Ruhr districts, a price was put on his head, for he was a notee anti -Bolshevist, and he was compelled 10 leave Essen. He was gone for just six hours, after which he returned, showed himself on the streets and finally went to the very headquarters of the reds and eX- pressed himself fully concerning their activities. He remained in Essen and kept the German government inform ed of the red movements, even when he was obliged to incriminate his per sonal friends.
 , The weight which Hue carried in labor councils insured his selection as a member of the German delegation to the Genoa conference, but he re- mained behind, stricken with inflam- nation of the lungs which took a fatal course.

 Lawyer David L. Nair, representing the accused, argued that the assault was provoked by the boys actions He told the court that street boot blacks are continually pestering citi- zens and should be regulated. He called attention to the past good rec

 Why is it that the A. R. A. sup plies are distributed and our not ? Because the Americans known what they are trying to do and follow a definite plan. The peasants believe that the Americans are like power full magicians. They can do what ever they wish. They could feed all Russia if they decided to-"
 In the country districts outside of Tsaritsin there were many bandits and when the Americans started their work the kitchens had hardly been opened in some villages before the bandits came and raided them. But now, says one writer, this interfer- ence from bandits has practically ceased The majority of the bands refer to the A. R. A. as the nurse, and leave it scrupulously alone.

ARRIVAL OF FOOD
 AMAzES RUSSIANS
Peasants Of Villages Along VOlga Valley DiSbelieVed Promises

Tsaritsin, Russia, May 22,-ThC peasants of the little villages of the Nolga river valley were amazed when the food supplies of the American Re- lief administration began to arrive They had not believed it possible that promises of food would be fulfilled Newspaper articles which have been collected by agents of the A. E, A. show some of the astonishmcnt these people felt when at last they reccSv- cd the hopedfor gifts from America,
 Tt is very fine but it cannot last " said one peasant whose children had received food from the A. E, \. Surely they will stop 1t soon They | give us a little bread. milk, soup and beans and the children come back to life. Their checks are like apples, When we had bread they did not look so well even al three pounds a day"
 The Russian writer who interview ed the peasants told them the distri- button of food would be continued until the next harvest.
 In some of the remote cantons where there are many strange sects the American food was received with suspicion, The devil is tempting us," muttered some of the faithful when the corn and cocoa absolutely unknown before, arrived. He is posing as an American and trying to make us drink his brown poison"
 They upset the boilers containing the cocoa made for the children and the A. R. A. inspectors were com pelled to conduct a campaign of edu- cation to explain the meaning of al bumin and calories.
 50 they have mixed albumin in the four" declared some of the sus- picious ones. It is to tempt us, a trick of the devil. Don't touch it brothers,
 Since they had already eaten dogs, why not try this devilsh, strange concoction. They sampled it and were pleased. Having been assured that the Americans also believed in God, their fears vanished. Soon almo--t two-thirds of the children in this area were being fed by the A. R. A., There is no more talk of the devil.
 Cars Are Loaded.
 The efficiency with which the work of the A. R. A. was done contribut- ed to the surprise of the peasants. On that point one Russian writer said: Every railway car loaded with foodstuffs that arrives in the station at Tsaritsin has been broken into and offered Only the A. R. A. ship ment arrives in good order and prac- tically intact. This is very puzzling The A. R. A. trains are not better guarded than the others. Thieves here fear nothing but for some req son there exists a tacit understand ing-the A. R. A. supplies must be left alone.
 "The A. E. A. gives no bribes and makes no threats. It simply am nounces what it needs and demands action. It is evident that it has ac- quired a remarkable prestige. In this atmosphere of famine and crime such an institution seems a marVell- ous thing We Russians love mir acles Believe in them and expect them The A. R. A. is miraculous To interfere with it would be sin.

|PEOPLECELEBRATE l NEW CONSTITUTION
Residents Of Lebanon Will Be
 Given Seli.GOYernment

Beirut, Lebanon, May 22. - The people of Lebanon have been cele- hrating with fetes the proclamation of new constitution for Lebanon and the setting up of new national as- sembly under the French mandate. The constitution has proclaimed by | General Gouard, the French high commissioner, affords the country a large measure of self government, The administrative committee of the Lebanon which was nominated by | France in 1920 for the purpose of CO., | operation in government affairs in Lebanon has been dissolved and has been succeeded by n representative assembly whose members are all elected by the people.
 There are 30 members in the na- tional assembly. In accordance with the French electoral law which was promulgated in Syria, there is allow ed one deputy for every 20,000 in habitants. The census just complet- ed shows the population of Lebanon to number GOO, ,0O0.
 The constitution affords the nation- al assembly absolute power over legis- lation, taxation, education and wei fare institutions. France, however, retains control over foreign and mili- tary affairs.
 The extremists are naturally dis satisfied with the provisions of the r ct clf bo, complete independence We are worthy of inderendence and well qualified for it." declared the ex-may- or of Aintab, in a speech protesting against the new organic laws, When Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia were still under the actual sway of Turkey, Mt. Lebanon had a privileg- ed system of government, which af- forded wide scope of freedom Why cannot we have the same privileges now?"
 The liberals, however who form the majority of the population, al though not altogether satisfied with the constitution, still consider it a great step forward in their onward march to free statehood Their lead CTS remind the opposition of the fact that the country is still under man. date according to Article 22 of the pact of the league of nations and therefore still under tutelage. One journal remarked France in grant ing us such a liberal constitution has proven herself worthy of the trust given to her by the league"
