CURE FOR BRITISH MILITANCY The Woman's Homestead Association has an idea. This association seems to be a body df altruists who have banded together for the purposo of populating Western Canada and, by the same token, of saving Mcrrie Eng land—that is of sparing Merrie England soma of its strife and tragedy and perhaps, thereby, saving some of its merriness, at least. The idea of this association is that a woman who has a husband to manage will keep her mind too thoroughly occupied to bother about her political rights. In other words, this association believes that the rage of the Eng lish militants is due to the fact of the surplusage of wo men over men in England. The detached woman is a serious problem. It is like too much released energy and she just naturally attacks something. In England there are tremendous numbers of husbandless and childless women, who have nothing to di vert them from such interesting little larks as burning houses and knocking down defenseless men. The Home stead Association is persuaded that all that is necessary Is to give these women plenty to do in the way of taking care of husbands and households and they have just sent an appeal to King George to do his utmost to deport the unmarried women among his subjects to Western Canada, where there are settlers who are ready to wed them and take their chances on lives of domestic adven tures. Resolutions adopted by the association express the belief that if such a movement were carried out seriously the militant women of England would cease their warfare on Parliament. Iq it husbands and not votes these turbulent women of England are fighting for? Certainly, this solution of the times makes a strong appeal to the natural egotism of man. One thing is pretty certain at any rate and that is that a woman with an unmanageable husband gets very little time to concern herself with social and political di versions. But for the life of us, we cannot help turning our sympathetic fancy in the direction of those Canadian Set tlers, who are standing ready to rescue England by re ceiving the unmarried Militants as their better halves. The risk is all for them. It takes a good deal of patrio tism to march into matrimony with tho same sacrificial spirit that a soldier gives up his life in battle, and while it requires greater heroism, it is acclaimed with no such furore of glory and administration. Nevertheless, there are those who know, and those who will jive settlers of Westen Canada their fullest re cognition and highest tribute if this proposed movement is ever carried out. Yet, we fear the world will never get the benefit of this heroism and history's pages will never make their record of these noble candidates for martyrdom for who is there to make the militants of England to realize that they want husbands in Canada more than they do votes in England ? THE CANAL FINISHED Ever since the 10th of October, when Gamboa Pike was blown up wlthp dynamite, the force of cngi Deers at Panama have concentrated their efforts on the work of cutting through the giant Curcuraehit Slide. This enormous glacler-llke earth movement, when the steam shovels were taken out of Culebra Cut, moved ■lowly across the canal prism and closed It On the 15th of December the drelgcs and steam shovels by Uleir combined efforts bad cut a Comparative Data.

Begin at Juarez. El Paso, Texas.—lnvestigation Into the execution by General Villa of Wm. H. Kenton, the Krltlsh subject and Into the dlaupirearnnce of Gustav Rauch, the German-American, was begun at Juarez today by the Mexican cormnla slon appointed by General Carranza, chief of the constitutionalists. The commission will endeavor to ascertain whether the arrest and conviction of Kenton was made according to due for uof law and Justice. It Is not ex pected that an examination will be made of Kenton's body. Guatax Bauch. An attempt will be made by the Mexican commissioners to learn whether Bauch was executed or 1s still alive. The Anglo-American commission still was awaiting Instructions from Washington. General Carranza and members of his cabinet were expected to leave Nogales for Juarez today. Realize Position. Nogales. Sonora, Mexico. —Appoint- ment of a Mexican commission to In vestigate the Kenton case resulted. It was made known today, from some dif ference of opinion among Gen. Car ranza's advisers. While It was as serted those surrounding the constitu tionalist cnmmander-ln-chlef realized his delicate position as a result of the Briton’s death, they had argued that his act In refusing Information to the Washington government had created a false Impression In the United States and England In regard to his Implied meaning. Is First Step. From those In close touch with Car ranza It was learned that the appoint ment of the Benton commission was but the first step in a series of acts calculated to do away with what was considered a misunderstanding. The hope was expressed that the work of the commission would convince the world of the good Intentions of Gen. Carranza toward the welfare of all Individual foreigners in Mexico. It was explained that the appoint ment of a Mexican commission instead of the operations of one composed of foreigners at this time In Mexico would eliminate danger of a condition which would be undesirable to all aides. The gravity of the altuatlon was not de nied here although hope was expressed that developments soon would allay any danger of a breach of Internation al good feeling. DIRKS.

The 190 men and one woman are held In 11,000 ball tot hearings late today on charges of dis orderly conduct. Frank Tannenbaum, youthful leader of the army, faces a charge of Inciting to riot, which is a felony. His ball was fixed at 16,000. Tho arrest of Tannenbaum and th» greater part of his army, organised under the auspices of the Industrial Workers of the World, occurred In St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic church In West Broadway, where Father John O. Schnslder refused the demand for food and ordered the invaders to leave If they had not come to worship. Permit No Repetition. Dougins I. McKay, police commis sioner. who ordered the arrests, said he would brook no repetition of riot ing In churches. After the army had been led away the police declared that black Jacks, dirks, knives, raxors and pieces of iron wer« found In the vacated pews of the church. William D. Haywood, head of the Industrial Workers of the World, said after the arrest of Tannenbaum and his followers, that he was not sur prised. “The police followed the nd vlce given them by the newspapers," ho said, "and that was to be expected. The result will be that the public will learn that the problem of the unem ployed Is not a myth.” Search the Arrested. Rev. \V. Montague (leer, vicar of St. Paul's Chapel, who acted as host to Tannenbaum's army on Tuesday night, defended his action and declared that he might invite the unemployed men to be his guests again.

There Will Be No Grand Stand For the Negroes The Herald was mistaken tn regard to the "negro grand stand" at the hall park. This error was caused by the spnrt wrlter, who mlsunderxtood an author ity on the baseball situation. There will tie no grandstand for the colored people, there being only one for the white. It was also stated In a morning pa per that there was a mis-statement In The Heruld regarding the bleachers for the "blacks." This statement was correct (a mis take on Mr. Corrector's part). There will he a set of bleachers for the col ored folk, and they will be placed on the extreme left hand side of the grand stand. TO SUSTAIN NATIONAL HONOR. PRES’T MAKES APPEAL TO CONGRESS Continued from page one. * __________ before the surprised galleries realized he had begun. It took less than five minutes and as another burst as ap plause greeted Its close, Mr. Wilson hurried out of the chamber and went back to the White House. The Joint session dissolved at once and the two houses resumed their work. As soon as the President left Speak er Clark ordered the message referred to the house committee on inter-stata and foreign commerce. Chairman Adamson who will have charge of the repeal legislation, de clared after hearing the message that It fitted his Ideas exactly. Honesty and Justice. “The President's address pleases me.’ he said, because it means hon esty at home and Justice abroad. It is not true that we are surrendering to Great Britain if we repeal the. free tolls clause. I and other Democrats took a position against this piece of rascal ity before England ever heard of It." Majority leader Underwood declined to discuss the message. THE MESSAGE President Wilson's address, the shortest he has yet delivered to con gress—exactly 420 words —was as fol lows: "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I have come to you upon an errand which can be very briefly performed, but I beg that you will not measure Its importance by the number of sent ences In which I state It. No com munication I have addressed to the congress carried with It graver or more far-reaching implications to the interest of the country, and I come now to speak upon a matter with re gard to which I am charged in a pe culiar degree, by the constitution it self with personal responsibility. ASKS FOR REPEAL “I have come to ask fog, the repeal of that provision of the Panama Canal act of August 24th, 1912. which ex empts vessels engaged In the coast wise trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the Justice, the wisdom and the large policy of such a repeal with the utmost earnestness of which I am capable. “in my own Julgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constituted a mistaken economic policy fmm every point of view, and Is, moreover, in plain con travention of the treaty with Great Ilrltaln concerning the canal, con cluded on November 18th, 1901. Hut I have not come to you to urge my personal views. I have come to state to you a fact and a situation. What ever may he our own differences of opinion concerning this much debated measure, its meaning is not debated outside the United States. Every where else the language of the treaty Is given but one Interpretation, anl that Interpretation precludes the ex emption I am asking you to repeal. WE CONSENTED We consented to the treaty; Its language we accepted. If we did not originate; and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respecting a nation to interpret with too strained or re fined a reading of the words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do Is the only thing we can afford to do, a voluntary with Irawal from a posi tion everywhere questioned and mis understood We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. OUR FOREIGN POLICY "I ask tills of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to deal with other matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence If you do not grant it to me In ungrudging meas ure." The Panama tolls question has been a subject of llspute for nearly two years. Diplomatic correspondence between Great Britain and the United States found the question unsettled when President Taft left office. Ex oeit Tor an assurance to James Bryce, then British ambassador, when be left the I'nited States a year ago that the question would be taken up in the regular session of congress.

OBLIGATION OF GOVT The president recently told callers he had never discussed the matter formally or informally with the Brit ish ambassador here, Sir Cecil Spring- Rice, because he believed the obli gation on the part of the United States to repeal the exemption clause was one which this government itself should realize without outside in fluence or pressure. Administration leaders In both house and senate have assured the president, that with the delivery of a message by him showing that inter national circumstances had arisen since the measure last was debated, the president's suggestion for repeal would meet with prompt action STUBBORN, ANNOYING COUGHS CURED.
