A cry for "emancipation of women' from "domestic slavery" Ig being rais ed by a number of educated girls, who call themselves "Blue Stockings." These "new women'' do not clearly specify what they wish to accomplish. but m a general way they defy the old order of things laid down for the fe male sex. They have their own publications - and occasionally Ar range public meetings for the pro pa gaiion or tneir meas. They nave a club of their own, and gather for night women's rights discussion. However, these are the extremists. Their utterances and their mode of life have shocked conservative Japan. In fact, some of them have been so radical In their action that the author. Itles have Invoked the law tu restrain them. Recently a number, of maga- slnes for women were suspended on the ground that they were "Injtlrtmis to society." Dr. Okuda. minister of education.

Senator Fall of New Mexico today called up in the senate his resolution providing for the j Fand men. officers here claim it will protection of American citizens In for- be impossible for Huerta to send fed eign countries. It refers to conditions eral. relief from Torreon to Durango , In Mexico. Chairman Bacon of the fofelgn relations committee demand ed that It be sent to that, committee so that Its terms might be carefully weighed. . "Words are very serious things at times," he said, "and this Is one of the times." Senator Bacon insisted that the peo ple of the United States were In a grave position of responsibility '"at this time and any enunciation of prin ciples such as this 1 should be thor oughly considered. "As to whether this resolution enun ciates the truth should not be dis cussed at this time," he said. ."This is entirely a question of expediency." Favors Sending Armec Force. Senator Bacon asked If the resolu tion did not mean that the United States should send an armed force Into Mexico to protect American citi zens. Senator Stone, citing certain conditions in Mexico, declared he would favor sending an armed force. Senator Williams maintained that a citizen of the United States had no constitutional rights In foreign coun tries. Amended he thought such a resolution ought to be passed "to strengthen the arm of the secretaryl or state." Senator Works said: "Are you pre pared to declare this government as set forth in this resolution prepared to give full protection to her citizens In Mexico?" 'Full protection must necessarily mean that If our citizens In Mexico cannot be protected by diplomatic means, we are prepared to go to war with Mexico," he added. "I submit that before the senate makes a declar ation to that effect, the question should be thoroughly and seriously consid ered." Would Prevent War. Senator Fall, aroused by what he termed Intimations from the senators that he was seeking to preclpltatte war with the resolution, made a stirr ing reply. "My sole purpose." said he. "throughout hls and tho former ad ministration, has been to prevent war with Mexico. I urged the last admin istration to realize the situation In Mexico and to acf so as to prevent war. But matters have dragged on until now we are told the situation Is so delicate that we should not make t declaration of this broad nrlnclnln The senator from New Mexico Is not tusponslble for conditions In Mexico. It la the delay, the failure of tho ad ministration to act, the failure of the administration to carry out Its warn ings to the people of Mexico that la responsible for conditions that will continue so long as this policy of de Iny contlnuea "We hesitate, as a republic and rightfully so, to move to nrotect our citizens herause of fear that It will precipitate war. It Is In your power at the present time to prevent war. "If strong action had been taken by thl government two years ago It would have prevented war. A strong demand upon Madero or De la Barra would have prevented war. Protee tlon of American citizens held for ransom and killed at that time, ex tended through arms If necessary, would have prevented Instead of pre cipitated war. "This policy of the United States of delay In the hop. that something might happen Is responsible for the present situation. Prompt and strong action would have avoided the neces sity for such a declaration as Is pro posed here."
