MILITANT SUFFRAGISTS EXASPERATE THE BRITISH

Militant suffragists of England have renewed their activities and the out
rases they are committing aro 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. Pankhurst being
carried bodily to Jail by Chief Inspector Itolfe.
Within the lust few weeks the militants have destroyed a number of In
valuable paintings in the London galleries, and one of the hatchet wieldera
seriously injured a guard who interfered with her vandalism. They also have
burned one of the ancient London churches and several houses and other
structures in vurlous parts of the country. Then they managed to get past
the guards of Buckingham palace and broke some of the windows of that
royal residence, and to cap the climax, a few days ago ono of these fearless
women gained admittance to a court reception, fell to her knees before the
king and began shrieking a plea to him.

Reports Say He Will Agree To

HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE.
Dictator's Declaration Of Retiremenl
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 nc
armistice between his forces and the
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.
Officials here would not discuss the
situation In the absence of direct In
formation.
The Foreign Office sent a note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tamplco had been blocknded
by order of Presldont Iluerta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because of the ship
ments of arms to the Constitutionalists
at Tamplco from United States ports,
there was no apprehension apparent
here In Government sources. Depart
ment heads seemed to be confident
that General Iluerta would not attempt
to blockade the port of Tamplco
against the delivery by the Cuban
steamer AntlUa of arms for the Con
stitutionalists. Tho American Stato
Department, It wns pointed out, was
fully satisfied of Its right to prevent
such a blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of theso develop
ments It waa 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 steamship
Antilla. Admiral Tiadger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor In I'ueiia Mexico
harbor and at Alvnrado.
A big cargo of arms for the Consti
tutionalists waa landed at Tampiro
while Admiral Mnyo's flag lieutenant
stood by, but took no action.
The afnis were from the Sushlno,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con
sul at Tampico of tho proposed block
ade, so that warships could keep out
of the 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 Itabnsa, 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 enrly meetings.
The mediators are said to bo ready
to agree even with Carranza.
The proposition from the A 13 C
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle tho Mexican dif
ficulty. It embodies no specific re
quest that General Carranza discuss
either Internal or international ques
tions, nor doeto It even specify that an
armistice between the revolutionists
and the Iluerta troops must be estab
lished, according to the version given
here.

SINGS PRAISE Or "BIGNESS"
Writer In Leslie's Weekly Sees Good
In Everything That Has Quali
fication of Size.
Big! It Is said that the soil that
produce big crops Is found where big
men abound. After all bigness is
something of which ' every one Is
proud. California boasts of Its big
trees, Oregon and Washington of their
big apples, Texas of Its big territory,
Oklahoma of Its big oil wells, Colorado
of Its big mines. New England of Its
big mills, Alabama of Its big Iron de
posits, Pennsylvania of its big steel
Industry and New York of its big
banks. Everywhere bigness Is the boast
of civilization. Nations vie with each
other to command tho biggest part of
the world's trade. In tills great strug
gle for commercial supremacy tho
United States, during tho past decade,
lias been among the foremost becauso
of Its big men In the Industrial, the
railway and professional fields. The
product of this bigness of men
has been a big country with big
wages. ICt us stop caviling and
finding fault. Let us put and end to
busting and smashing, and give the!
widest opportunity for Individual ef
fort. Encourage bigness of the fac
tory and the pay envelope alike. Give
big brains a chance, whether In bank,
counting room or workshop. Bigness
