FALL UNDER BAN
i Too Many Women Were Seek

'NEW SWINDLES SPRING UP.
Soldiers In Trenches Made Excuses For
All Sorts of Crimes, While Latest
Amusement Is Writing Love Letters
to Men at Front Just to Ch-eer Them
on Battle Line.
The happy days of fortune telling in
Paria are over. Mediums, cltirvoyunts,
astrologers, readers of jxilms and cards
have uow to make their living some
other way.
The police found that too many wom
en were sjn-nding their pittances la
fortune telling parlors. So the ban hat
gone forth and in one week sixty-nine
professors of occult knowledge were
brought before the magistrates.
"What harm does Ji do?" ther asked.
"We always tell encouraging things.
We always prophesy letters and good
news, it keeps people cheered lip and
happy."
Many of them wild their only boh>
their husbands, were at the front All
source of revenue was cut off and they
had to do something. But the court
was obdurate anil said the profession
was entirely out of keeping with tha
seriousuess of the times.
They Neatly Evade Law.
Home of them, however, continue to
prophesy, but udhere strictly to the
letter of the law in not giving any
definite date. For instance, one of the
best known of them told the fortune of
a young actress in this neatly evasive
way:
"You will receive a letter soon. I
can't tell you exactly when. The po
lice have forbidden me to."
Anil for that little phrase she ask
j ed $2.
In tie Paris police courts many pa
i thetie cases are seen. There are man;
i which are due solely to the war, ne\i
1 professions and new crimes which havt
j sprung up.
j There are men with one leg who ge
a uniform and go around soliciting
alms under tlie pretense that they iost
the leg in the trenches. What scores
of men and women up for theft al
ways say Is:
"Your honor, I have a sou (a brother
or perhaps n husband) at the front. 1
know what he is suffering there in the
trenches, and I couldn't resist the wish
to send him something. Alas, I had no
money, and that is why I committed
this unpardonable act. Bur my love
was stronger than my conscience."
Having heard tills about twenty
times one morning, one of the judges
grew a little weary of it. When a
woman came up accused of having
given short weight in butter—only half
of what she Was being paid for. in
fact—he said:
"Well. you. at any rate, can't make
use of the argument that you wore
sending something to the trenches.'"
She Had ths Old Excuse,
"it comes to the same thing." the
woman sniil calmly. "1 have a friend
In the trenches, and the morning this
tiling happened I got word that I:e was
seriously wounded. 1 simply lost my
head anil didn't know what 1 was do
ing. That was why I didn't notice
how much butter 1 was selling."
Every sort of charitable soc.ety ha/
been formed In Parm since the war.
There are those ili.it concern them
selves with the physical welfare of the
soldiers and those of the mora! and
religious. Put it remained for the jour
nal named Fautasio to launch the lat

Harvard University Expert on Phys

That It Is Impossible to Set Limits
to Their Endurance.
Women could he made as fit for mili
tary duty as men, in the opinion of Dr.
Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard univer
sity, who has given more than half a
century of study to the problem of
physical training of young folk. lie
holds that sex is no handicap to mili
tary training and cites many examples
of physical feats performed hv women
"Even,- day." said I>r. Sargenr. "I au
astonished at the physical and mental
possibilities shown by young women
yet in college and those who are ah
ready out in the world making good.
Almost daily I find it necessary to re
\ iso my carefully worked out theories
und formulas as to what young women
can do until now I find it safest not to
suggest the limits of their capabilities.
"In one of the sad stories that litis*
just come to us of the terrible Lusita
uia tragedy we have accounts of sev
eral women who swam about for many
hours until rescued. What they did
any able bodied, well trained woman
might have done. At the time >f the

the Gulf of Ft. Lawrence a child only
ten years old swam and floated about

to supi>ort this contention, many per

that I am forgetting that women are
the hearers of the race and that their
penalty for physical hardships will be

"Nature, in giving to her si spcial task

the necessary bodily strength.
"Woman's >:v\ is not a In utlieup. ei

chooses to make it one.
"The great stretches of Russia could
show up countless stolid faced, big
muscled, sturdy women, who plow
fields, reap the crops, make the bin' k
bread and bear the children and who
have never even heard that they are a

"There are in most of our large cities
today foreign born women who are fa
miliar to us chiefly as picturesque fig
ures on the streets as they are home

walk upright and easily, and the care
ful observer will note a sturdiuess that
will surprise him.
Bs*ter Equipped Than Man.
"Physiologically the healthy woman
Ls better equipped by nature to with
stand cold and exposure than the aver
age rfian. Every one knows that in
regions of severe climate men wear
heavier clothing and more of it than
women.
"To say that a woman's pride is
keeping her warm as she sweeps up
the street on a blustering zero da>
with open coat, thin shirt waist, ex
posed neck and thinly stockinged feet
is not altogether true, for nature is aid
ing her. Fhe will, of course, suffer
from unwise exposure, but not to the
I
same degree that a man would.
"But the sad. fact Ls that few of our
A me dean Ixiru women, the descend
ants of our early settlers, are trained
up to even a moderate degree of bodily
efficiency.
"An üblehodied woman who has un
dergone the sumo rigorous training
that a soldier has should suffer no
more serious consequences than he
from forced marches in a injuring rain
or a sleepless night in a trench.
"The type of modern woman who is
n product of stoum heated apartments,
matinees, teas and ennui is fitted nei
ther for motherhood nor for suffrage
to say nothing of tasks savoring of mil
itarism. But a woman of this tyjn* is
in a class by herself. To he sure, the
class is rather large, hut the women
who compose it are not the ones who
will shape the future either of our
homes or of our nation's destinies.
"In a frame of miml that would be
ludicrous if it were not pathetic these
women shield themselves from physi
cal exertion, accept headaches and of It
er weaknesses as if they were a part
of their heritage as women and resort
to bridge and similar 'light' recrea
tions."

'WILL EXAMINE SHIP'S HULL
American Vassal on Way Heme In Bal
last Meets Mishap Off Irish Coast, but
Whether She Hit Mine or Was Tor
pedoed by Submarine Has Yet to Be
Decided by Experts.
Whether the American freighter hit
a mine or was deliberately torpedoed
t>y a German submarine will orobably
not be divided until an expert ex
amination of her hull after her arrival
back at Liverpool. Kven then the
point may remain lu doubt.
The question is on# of gravest im
port and therefore will not I** settled
hurriedly. Ail the facta obtainable
will have to l* considered. The de
cision. if one is possible, is awaited
by the entire country with patience,
but anxiety.
The Nebraskuti carried a crew of for
ty-one hands all told. She hail no pa?*-

others are: H. Gillespie, llrst; W. M.

The Nebraska!!, which belongs to the
American-Hawaiian line, left New
York May 7 with a general cargo for
Liverpool, arrived there May 11). dis
charged and started back in Iwllast to
Delaware breakwater May 24. Disas
!er overtook her the evening of the
next day. The cable message front her
master. Captain J. S. Greene of San
Francisco, said:
"Struck either by mine or forjiedo
forty-eight miles west of Fast net Am
steaming under convoy to Liverpool.
Water in lowc hold. No one injured.
Greene."
Four dispatches concerning the Ne
hraskan were received at the state de
partment in Washington -one frotu
Walter 11. Page, the American ambas
sador in I/omlou. and two from Rob
ert I*. Skinner, the United States con
sul general in London. The dispatch
from the ambassador said:
"Urgent. Report at midnight last
night to British admiralty from Lands
End stales that American steamer Ne
braskan torpedoed forty-tivc miles
south by west of Southclifi'e, crew tak
ing to Inmts. British trawler standing
by now reports Nebraskan still afloat
and making for Liverpool with four
holds full of water. No lives reopfLeU
lost."
British Say Torpedoed.
The tirst dispatch from Consul Gen
eral Skinner was as follows:
"Admiralty reports American steam
er Nehraakan. Liverpool for Delaware
Breakwater, torpedoed forty miles
south by west of Fast net. Crew In
boats. Standing by. Weather tine."
Later the following cablegram came
from the consul general:
"Nebraskan proceeding to Liverpool
under own steam about eight and a
half knots, crew having returned on
j board. Apparently no lives lost. Ex
tent of damage unknown."
The fact that the Nebraskan was
damaged while she was forty miles at
eu in water of a depth of about 500
feet, as shown by the British admiral
ty chart, at a place supposed t<> Ik* re
mote from any <>f the British mine
fields and with the water too deep to
plant mines, created the distinct im
pression that she must have lnvn
struck by a torpedo.
Dispatches from Ireland say that a
submarine was sighted near Barley
cove, about ten miles from Fast net,
between 1> and 1# o'clock at night. The
Nebraskan was struck between 8 and
p o'clock.
Irish People Saw Submarine.
Several residents of Crook haven turn
ed out aud went along the shore, keep
lug a sharp lookout. They sighted a
submarine off the cove near the mouth
of a little crock. One of the inen on
.--bore fired two shots with a rifle at Gh
men in the conning tower of the sub
marine. The submarine dived immedi
ately. but soon rose again farthe. out
Three more shot:- were fired tit her.
ami she again disappeared.
The American embassy in London
will send one or more of its naval at*
t.vhos to e::amine the Nebraskan. as
was done in the ease of the ship Gulf*
light. reported torpedoed by tin* Ger
mans. They will make every effort to
establish how the injury was infli'-t<*d.
Such examinations are not aiways "'in

charge made by I'resident Wilson in
his ri'se to the German government
that the Gulflignt was attacked by a
German submarine was based on the
report of the naval experts after ex
