A number Of learned French pro-
fessors have been trying to find out
what women were like a hundred
thousand years ago, and some very
interesting results have followed
their search. They say that In the
days when people lived In caves
woman was the most important of
the two sexes. Mon were tolerated
only for the sake Of the skins and
the food they provided. Women rul-
ed everything. and almost every art
and science we have today Is due to
the work Of women of thousands of
years ago.

Agrarians in Vera Cruz are receiving
arms and munitions and that more
than 1900 men now are armed.

who opened the debate. criticized the
the government into taking a
stronger line. Their efforts, however,
were unsuccessful. Stanley Baldwin,
chancellor of the exchequer, who re-
piled for the government, took pre-
cisely the same line that the prime
minister has taken on previous
occasions.
Same Temper Exhibited.
Mr.. Baldwin compared the situa-
tion In Europe with the beginnings
OF great industrial strike, and said
exactly the same temper was ex-
h!bited--a temper which would brook
no interference.
IF we were to conduct our con-
versations with our allies SO as to lose
their confidence and make them feel
that we were taking an attitude Of
hostility. our whole powers. which
believe later will be immense, would
be dislocated." he declared.
He added that the government was
in close touch with the allies and the
other countries concerned, and he
was convinced that by following the
policy he indicated, the French would
recognize, when the opportune mo-
ment came for any Intervention, that
the British had been perfectly
straightforward throughout and they
would also be accepted by Germany
RS honest negotiators.
During the course Of the debate Mr..
Asquith closely pressed the govern
ment concerning what he character
ized as the remarkable statement
made by Baron von Rosenberg, in
which the German foreign minister
suggested the formation of an inter-
national commission of investigation.
Mr.. Asquith wanted to know whether
the British ministers had taken any
steps to consult the other powers
concerned In regard to such q COM
mission, or whether they were still
committed to an attitude OF "benevo-
lent impotence"
Mr.. Baldwin ignored this challenge,
but Ronald McNeill, undersecretary
for foreign affairs, who spoke later,
suggestion was nothing more than
the idea put forward some time ago
by the American Secretary Of State.
The chancellor pointed out that Mr..
.Asquith had quite omitted mention OF
the important qualification that Ger
many, as q condition precedent to any
move of the kind, insisted upon COM
as everybody was aware. the French
had not the slightest intention Of ac-
ceding. Therefore. declared the un-
dersecretary, he could see no advance
whatever in the German foreign min
listers speech.

DETROIT. Mich, March 29.-The
ninth day of spring found the upper
half of lower Michigan and the en-
tire northern part of the state IN the
grip of weather more severe than
any experienced during the winter.
y blizzard that brought with it sub
zero temperature broke Tuesday as
far south as Traverse City in the
west and Bay City in the east, and
on to the nurthward, and still was
raging this morning, according to
reports reaching here.
Railroad traffic was at a standstill
throughout most of the affected re-
gion. street car traffic was demoral-
lied and highway travel was almost
impossible.
The temperature at Bay City last
night was reported unofhcially at
zero. Railroad crews reaching that
point from the north decinred they
had experienced temperatures as low
as twenty.siE below.

President Is Candidate,

Several facts are clear, however
One is that Mr.. Daugherty spoke the
truth-the President is IA candidate
for denomination. His friends are
already getting busy in his behalf
He himself never liked to be an
avowed candidate for anything pre-
ferring TO remain in the background.
He probably will avoid doing any
thing that would put him in the ap-
parent position of seeking a second
term. The question of whether At
torney General Daugherty acted wise
ly OF unwisely will be swallowed up
in the greater question of preparing
in the next few weeks a defense of
the administration record thus far
and a plea for republican solidarity.
SO that the next Congress can be one
of republican achievement instead of
republican insurgency.

FINAL HOMAGE PAD'
SARAH bERNHARDTl
FIoWer-Littered Street Is
Thronged During Simple
Ceremony at Church.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 2S.-Paris paused to-
day TO pay a final measure of respect
to the great Sarah Bernhardt4
Crowds that gathered at the Church
of St Francois de Sales for the ser
vice and at the cemetery Pere La
chaise, mourned sincerely for her
whom they loved so well and they
brought in profusion the tribute OF
flowers she requested.
Bernhardts body rested in rose
thirty years ago.
On the breast of her white satin
dress was pinned the cross Of the
legion Of honor, while on her neck
was the gold locket containing the
likeness OF her son Maurice.
Church Ceremony simple.
The ceremony at the church was
simple, for Bernhardt had expressed
a wish that there be no eulogtes. The
vault that received her body also was
unostentatious. On 1t was one word
"Bernhardt"
The streets leading TO the Rue Am
pere, where the Church of ST. Fran
co.'s dc Sales is located, was thronged
with crowds. The Rue Ampere itself
was barred except to card holders.
The street was a veritable flower gar
den all the morning, as offerings from
the Bernhardt TheateT. the opera, the
Opera Comique, the Comedie FRAN
caise and from individuals Of every
section Of the world of art were
placed near the church.
The exterior of the little church
was somber with black drapery, but
with fringe of white and with the
initials IS. B." prominently displayed.
The interior likewise was draped in
black.
The bier was placed st the head OF
the nave. elevated about ten feet,
and surrounded with several score OF
candles. with a cross OF lilies four
feet high at the foot. Places near the
bier were reserved for the artists
of the Bernhardt Theater.
Flower. Cover Hearse.
The coffin was conveyed in a hearse
covered with flowers and followed by
five floats each drawn by two horses
and each bearing a mountain of flow
ers ten or dozen feet high-the
tributes that had been sent TO the
dead tragedienne.
AS the procession began TO move
toward the cemetery all Paris seemed
to be either lining the streets or has
tening to find places on the route.
The day was one of beautiful sun
shine. more like summer than spring,
permitting even the oldest and weak
est admirer of the great Bernhardt to
venture forth and await the passing
of the procession.
The police estimated that there
were at least one million persons be-
tween La Madeleine and the Thearer
Sarah Bernhardt. All traffic along
the route was suspended from l until
8 pm, municipal police guards and
gendarmes keeping the way open.
Practically every window along the
way was filled with spectators, and
many cameras were in evidence.
James K. Hackett was present at
the church as the representative Of
American and English writers and
players; President Millerand was rep
resented by Leon Berard. minister Of
education and the French govern
ment. NJ Rebel, minister for liberat-
ed regions

IN MEMORY OF TOLEDO DEAD
Buckeye City and County to Erect Mag
nificent Monument to Memory of
War Heroes.

A monument of '1iving fame" to me-
morialiZe the heroic dead Of Toledo, o.,
and of Lucas county, is to be erected
rial park, a new project, which, &C
cording to founders, will soon become
a reality.
Sweeping through the park is road
way, already known to Toledo citizens
as Memorial Way" Sides of this
roadway are flanked by trees, each of
which is named for some man from To
ledo or Lucas county who made the
supreme sacrifice in the World war,
bearing his name In everlasting bronze
and keeping forever fresh his memory.
Other roadways Of the park will be
named after cities, towns and particu-
lar engagements in which these men
| fought. The whole centers around the
great monument, where a tower of I'M
usual proportions Is surmounted by q
light which may be seen for miles.
The site of the park covers 215 acres,
much Of which is forested and natural
ly adapts itself to landscaping. While
q portion of the park is to he used as
general cemetery, section near the
monument, which will permit the in
terment of 1000 bodies, has been set
aside for the use of the American Lee
gion, where the bodies Of soldier and
sailor dead may be inferred and per-
petual care assured. The administra-
ton of this section is directly under
the Lucas county Legion council, who
will have a seat on the board Of truS-
tees.
| Dedication of the memorial trees Is
planned for Decoration day, at which
time the Legion will have charge Of the
services. The ceremony of the laying
of the corner stone will occur later in
the summer.
The Memorial Lantern" as the
monument is tentatively known, will
be maintained by the park officials
without cost to soldiers organizations,
and arrangements are being perfected
by them to make the burning Of the
great light perpetual.

KNOW THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Minneapolis Aliens, Members of Amer
icanism Graduating Class, Sing
"The Star-SpangIed Banner"

At least one group of Minneapolis
aliens have proved that they know
the words of the national anthem,
'sThe Star-Spangled Banner" better
than do many native Americans, ac-
cording to a report received by the
Americanism commission Of the Amer
lean Legion.
These aliens, all members of Amer
icanization classes conducted through
out the city by school and naturaliza-
ton officials, have completed their
night school work and made up a
class of 63 graduates at commence
ment day program recently held.
Greeks and Italians mingled with
the blond sons of Norway and Swe-
den, lads not out of their teens sat
on the platform with a number OF
middle-aged women and older men,
all with a mutual desire-to become
American citizens.
AS the closing feature of the COM
mencement day program both the
class and the audience, numbering
nearly 1000, stood and sang the ma
tional anthem. Those of the class
knew the song, every word of it. The
learning Of it had been one Of the
most interesting achievements Of the
whole course of training for citizenry
they had undertaken. Many members
Of the audience, singing away, STUN
bled over words Of the verses, forget
ting them, while those who were as
piring to become American citizens
sang every word.
Diplomas were presented to all
graduates Of the class by Minnesota

held. The classes are well attended
and are decreasing difficulties which
naturalization presents to the foreign

much easier for both the authorities
and the aspirants for citizenship.
