Republican stronghold in Pettigo.

CLUB WOMEN
 RAISE BATTLE,
 CRY PROTEST

New York, March 14-New York club women and leaders in civic af- fairs today sent out what may prove to be feminine battle cry against sculptor Frederick MacMonnieS' de- piction of "Civic Virtue" as a nude and thoroughly musc1ed young man enthusiastically kicking the prostrate forms of two sirens representative of urban temptation and vice.
 Protest was voiced by Mary Gar rett Hay and Mrs. James Lees Laid law. noted champions of wofnen's rights, at the announcement that the MacM onnies' sculpture was about completed and was soon to be erected in city hall park. The money for the monument to 'tCivic Virtue was left to the city in the term Of Mayor Mcclellan.
 Mrs. MacMonnies has depicted the marching youth a mighty club slung across husky shoulder, spurning with either foot a recumbent and alluding female, symbolic of all that isn't nice in civic aspiration.
 I think it Is a trif1e ridiculous' Miss Hay declared, perhaps the true symbolism lies in the fact that "Civic Virtue is depicted as naked. That strikes one as reasonable after think ing of what civic virtue has had to undergo from the city hall politicians No wonder the poor thing has not any clothes"
 Why should MacMonnfes have used a male figure trampling down tempting women? Why not repre- sent civic virtue as a man and wom- an hand in hand, mounting conf d ent- ly and happily difficult path ?''
 Mrs. LaidIaw agreed with Miss Hay.

CLOSING IN ON
 FORCES FROM
 EAST AND WEST

London, March 14TPretoria gov ernment forces are closing in upon the revolutionarie from the east and west, according to tate adviceS from South Africa. The main centers of resistance are now at Fordsburg and Jeppestown, where the government forces are opposed by heavily armed rebel commandos.
 A B1oemfontein despatch says the main railway line was dynamited near the Transvaa1 border and a 1oco- motive was .derailed but there were no casualties.
 Johannesburg which on Saturday and Sunday was the center of the battle area resumed its normal ap- pearance yesterday, according to Reuters correspondent there. The streets were filled with the usual shopping crowds and the fashionable tea rooms and stores were all doing business.
 The correspondent declares that Dutch burghers have materially as sisted the British forces in their suc- cesseS against the revO1utionaries. being especially effective in outf1ank- ing positions held by the rebels. They made many captures in the vicinity of Benoni and Dunswart.
 In this operation, which relieved a police detachment numbering 183 men after two days siege, both the burgherS and the Durban light in- fantry distinguished themselves. the correspondent describes as a per fest artillery baTage and their losses were but one officer killed and two wounded.

ROraback Protests POstpOnement Of
 Legion Meeting

The action Of the executive com- mittee of the Connecticut departmen of the, American Legion in calling off the scheduled meeting of the special committee appointed to raise money for the distribution of the soldiers aid fund, is lamented in a letter writ ten to Acting State Commander Paige A. Seaton by J. Henry Roraback. chairman of the Republican State Central Committee.
 Judge William M. NaItbie's decision upholding the injunction which pre- vents State Treasurer Butterworth from drawing a monthly salary of $500 created the necessity for raising funds immediately, and the special committee was appointed for this purpose. A meeting of the commit tee was scheduled to be held yester- day in New Haven but members were notified of the postponement in a let- ter signed by Paige and Clarence J. Guinan, department adjutant.
 Roralback's letter of protest Is as follows:
 My dear Sir
 CT am in receipt today of your let ter of the 11th inst, advising me that the meeting of the special committee called by Captain Clarence Seymour for Tuesday, March IA, at Room A, Allyn House, has been postponed.
 AS this committee was appointed. by Captain Seymour, the state com mander of the legion. and the meet
  ed by him. I am greatly surprised that in his absence the action stated in your letter should have been taken I greatly regret this action and trust that it will be decided to hold a at an early date, because the fullest cooperation of the legion is necessary to enable the committee to be of any timely assistance in work ing out a solution of the present un- satisfactory situation.
 'gThe communication which I sent to Captain Seymour was in good faith and founded upon the belief that something useful might come of a of the committee he had named, and trust that the idea will not be definitely abandoned.
 While I have no interest in the present controversy aside from that of citizen of Connecticut, I would be very glad to devote a considerable effort with the others named in an to so straighten out matters that the purpose of the state fund. which has been under Consideration might be fully carried out.
 'I note that your letter intimates a profound misunderstanding of the Legion and the function of the com mittee' on my part. While I will a m unable to understand the attitude of some members of the legion, still am very confident that I do under stand one of the purposes of the state Iun0' nameIy' that no part or it's income shall be used for any pur- pose excepting the aid of needy and disabled soldiers and their families and with that end in view had hoped we might meet and discuss some adequate means of carrying out the purposes of the Act through the cooperation of the legion.
 T am very glad to renew the invi- tation to the committee and trust that at some date, not too distant to be useful it may be accepted.
 'tNery truly yours,
 "J. H. RoRABACK."
