Militant suffragists of Englund have renewed their activities and the out
rapes they are committing are exasperating the people to the point of threat
ening to lynch the women. Our Illustration shows the police breaking up an
outdoor demonstration of the militants and, at the left, Mrs. Punkhurst being
carried bodily to Jail by Chief Inspector ltolfe.
Within the lust few weeks the militants have destroyed a number of in
valuable paintings In the London galleries, and one of the hatchet wielders
seriously injured a guard who interfered with her vandalism. They also have
burned one of the ancient London churches and several houses and other

JOI
CONFERENCE
Reports Say He Will Agree To
All But Armistice.
HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE.
Dictator's Declaration Of Retirement
Said To Have No Strings At
tached, As Has Been
Thought.
Washington, D. C Unofficial ro
ports gay that General Carranza, chief
of the revolutionary forces in Mexico,
was willing to participate in the media
tion conference at Niagara Falls on
condition that there should be no
armistice between his forces and th
Iluerta government and that Mexican
Internal questions should be consider
ed which concern only such affairs as
had been developed by the American
occupation of Vera Cruz.
Ofllclals here would not discuss the
situation In the absence of direct in
formation. Tho Foreign Offlco sent a note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tamplco had been blockaded
by order of President Huorta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because ot the ship
ments of arms to the Constitutionalists
at Tamplco from United States ports,
there was no apprehension apparent
hero in Government sources. Depart
ment heads seemed to bo confident
that General Iluerta would not attempt
to blockado the port of Tamplco
against the delivery by tho Cuban
steamer Antllla of arms for the Con-
Btitutionallsts. Tho American State
Department, It was pointed out, was
fully satisfied of its right to prevent
luch a blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of these develop
ments It was expected here that there
would be no interference either on tho
pait of the United States or General
Iluerta with the landing of ammuni
tion at Tamplco from the Bteamnhlp
Antilla. Admiral Iladger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor In I'uerta Mexico
harbor and at Alvnrado.
A big cari;o of arms for the Consti
tutionalists was landed at Tampiro
while Admiral Mayo's flag lieutenant
stood by, but took no action.
The afms were from the Kushine,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con
sul at Tamplco of the proposed block
ade, bo that warships could keep out
of tho line of fire.
That there are no strings to Huerta's
declaration that he will get out when
assurances of a pacified Mexico are
given was announced by Rabasa. of tho
Mexican delegation. Iluerta Is will
ing to accept a provisional govern
ment. A fourth conference of Americans
and Mexicans was held. Subjects un
der discussion were those developed In
the early meetings.
The mediators are said to be ready
to agree even with Carranza.
Tho proposition from the ARC
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle the Mexican dif
ficulty. It embodies no Bpeciflc re
quest that General Carranza discuss
either Internal or international ques
tions, nor doefc it even specify that an
armistice between the revolutionists
and the Huerta troops must be estab
lished, according to the version given
here.

Much averso to a long detour, Ser

Commas and the Law.
The comma In the llritlsh act of
parliament which has caused a dispute
between .Monmoiiihshiro miners and
their employers recalls the fact that
such marks of punctuation were In
troduced Into law only half a century
ago. Down to IS'jU all acts of parlia
ment consisted. In theory at all events,
of one sentence. In that year a spe
cial statute was passed to ullow the
text of legislative enactments to be
punctuated and pointed by full-stops,
etc. They ure so easily Interpolated
and altered that lawyers know thoir
danger and avoid them In legal documents.

"At a tea Mr. and Mrs. Pago had a

something of which every one Is

of Its big mines. New Kngland of Its
big mills, Aluhama of its big Iron de

Industry and New York of Its big

of civilization. Nations vie with each

the world's trade. In this great strug

United States, during the past decade,
hits been among the foremost becauso
of Its big men In the Industrial, the
railway and professional fields. The
product of this bigness of men
bus been a big country with big
wages. I(:t us stop caviling and
finding fault. Let us put and end to
