WASHINGTON CLERGYMEN JOIN
Wear a White Carnation
President Is Highly Praised
for Recognizing Movement
by Issuing National Proc
lamation; This la "Mothers Day."
Throughout the city, and In every Part
of the United States, the people are ob
serving the one day In the year dedi
cated to the mothers of the race.
Prominent "clergymen and members of
the laity Joined In expressions of appre
ciation yesterday, for the act cf the
President In issuing a proclamation, of
ficially designating the second Sunday
in May as Mothers' Day." This action
comes as a result of the Senate's adop
tion of the resolution offered by Senator
Sheppard, asking the President to offl
clally designate "Mothers' Day."
Wrnr a While Carnatton.
The white carnation will be wom by
thousands In Washington, the carnation
being; the symbol of "Mothers' Day."
Local florists, however, have served no
tice that the carnation supply Is short
this spring and it is quite likely that
white flowers of other varieties also will
be worn.
Mgr. William T. Russell, pastor St.
Patrick's Catholic Church. In. a state
ment prepared for the Washington Herald
yesterday, said:
"The decision of Congress and the
President to recognize officially, one
day In the year when the mothers of
the nation will be honored by the
whole people. Is a most laudable art.
No nation can rise higher than the
standard of its mothers and to the
mothers of America we owe what
ever (we have gained in the movement
tonard a higher and nobler type of
American manhood and womanhood."
RevTJr. Abram Simon, pastor of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation, also
commented on the observance of "Moth
ers' Day-"
" 'Mothers' Day." finds a most
hearty" welcome In the household of
Israel." said Dr. Simon. "With us.

proverbial for purity, affection and

munitions f war would not only appear
favorably to the people of this coun
try 1 ut would clearly put the United
States government under a very consid
erable obligations to the big German shlpr-
ping Interests. This obligation wouid
come at a time, too when there has
been considerable talk in Congress of
'eolation against shipping pools.
Ilntelieit Vera Cms.
According to the report received from
Admiral Badger. the Kronprinzessln
Je ille reached Vera Cruz at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning. She had left Puerto,
Mexico, Frldal night, and the navy of
ficers figured that she had reached that
port Frldaj morning. This would have
given her plenty of time to have un
loaded her cargo of war materials. If
that nas intended.
The Bat aria Is not due at Puerto,
Mexico, for ten days or more.
It was apparent that the administration
officials were greatly relieved by the new
turn of events. In the War Department,
however, preparations continued to go
forward which indicated anything but
confidence in the ability of the mediators
to Jjring about a peaceful adjustment of
the situation Secretary of War Garrison
continued his efforts to obtain transports
for the government and last night It was
reported that the War Department had
made arrangements for the chartering of
eleven transports.
Appeal to Mediators.
Before the United States received word
that the German arms and ammunition
were to be returned, there is good rea
son to believe that steps were taken to
protest to Huerta through the mediators
against the acceptance by him of these
munitions of war. When Secretary Bryan
was asked whether such a communica
tion had been made he evaded a direct
answer.
It Is understood that the United States
represented to the mediators that the ac
ceptance by Huerta of these cargoes of
arms and ammunition would constitute
a violation of the assumed armistice
pending the mediation proceedings. Such
a communication would amount to a
warning that the United States might
feel obliged to take steps for its own
protection in the event of Huerta's" Ig
noring of the protest.
Secretary Bryan yesterday said that
the understanding with the mediators by
both the United States and Huerta was
that no&tmties should be suspended rjend
Ing the mediation proceedings and that
the military status quo should be main
tained Apparently the United States
mas prepared to contend that the ac
ceptance of these military supplies by
Huerta would result In a change of the
status quo. International law experts In
Washington were not Inclined, however,
to take this government's view seriously
on thlj point. It was said that this gov
ernment could not expect Huerta to fore
go all shipments of arms and ammuni
tion for use In his campaign against the
constitutionalists while the mediation
proceedings were pending.
o Violation" Garrison.
These experts were Inclined also to
regard the recent activities of the
United States military forces Just as
much open to question as Huerta's ac
ceptance of arms and ammunition. It
was pointed out that Gen. Funston
has strengthened his lines outside
Vera Cruz, and that one transport of
United States troops had been landed
at the Mexican port aftei the under
standing was entered into.
O.i the other hand. Secretary of War
Sarrison contended that there had
been no violation of the status quo by
an extension of the American lines at
Vera Cruz.-He said that the lines from
,the first had included the pumping sta
tion at Tejar. and that these had
merely -been, strengthened. He added
that Gen. Funston had not been or
Jered to push his lines forward.

NEW ZEALAND GIVES ITS
WOMEN RIGHT TO VOTE
Remarkable' Savages Come in Contact
with White Man. Says Geographic
Society's Statement
A little more than half a century ago
cannibalistic feasts were held by the
Maoris tribe of savages of New Zealand;
today, members of the race are members
of the New Zealand Parliament, and
Maori women, as well as the white wom
en of New Zealand, exercise the right to
vote. They are In many respects the
most remarkable savages with whom
the white man has come In contact, ac
cording to a statement given out by the
National Geographic Society, at Wash
ington, yesterday.
"When the English first occupied the
Islands. In the early part of the nine
teenth century. It Is estimated that there
were about 100,000 Maoris In New Zea
land," says the statement. "They were
divided Into tribes, each tribe having its
own unwritten laws regarding. land, cul
tivation, and other social matters. The
tribes were constantly fighting. The Eng
lish found that they had a genius ror
war, showing unusual ability In building,
fortifying, and defending stockades, and
they experienced considerable difficulty
in subduing them. The saagrs tilled the
soil with care; as carters and decorators
they were unrivaled In the Oceanic
world, and they displayed great original
ity In the design and perfection In the
execution of rock paintings, and In carv
ing the ornamental figures of their
dwellings, their boats, and sacred Incis
ures.
"The Maoris were also noted for their
tattooing, which was designed to clothe
as well as ornament the body. Whoever
refused to undergo the protracted tor
tures of tattooing required at every Im
portant event of his life, was regarded
as a person by hi own consent fore
doomed to slaver-. The men were actual.
ly depilated In order to increase the sur
face for tattooing, while for the young
women the operation was limited to the
lips, whence the term 'blue lips' applied
to them by the English.
There are about 33.000 Maoris left.
These have retired lo the northern prov
inces of New Zealand, where certain
reservaiions nave oeen set apart as
their exclusive property. The Maori
children attend schools regularly. Such
of them as continue into the higher
branches of learning are said to be
worthy rivals of white students. Some
of the Maoris have become landed pro
prietors; they are proud of their right
to vote, and especially of the fact that
tneir women were given this privilege
at th same time that It was given to
the white women of New Zealand."

SOME SURPRISES
Methods of Secretaryof Agri
culture Are New to Poli
ticians. HE DECLARES OPEN WAR
His Reports Are Not Complimentary
Documents American Farmer
Has Been Used to.
It has already become evident that the
new Secretary of Agriculture does not
Intend to hold his position by means of
"soft sawder" either for the politicians
or the farmers. In fairly blunt language,
according to current opinion, he has been
telling the former to mind their own
business and the latter to learn theirs.
We are still In the pioneer stage of farm
ing, he declares, and less than 12 per
cent of our farm land Is yielding even
fairly full returns. We have reached the
place now where we must do real think
ing and planning. We have been reck
less and wasteful, suffering the penalty
of a too' great case In living and in
making a living. As a people we have
been bent on building up great Industrial
centers and have let our agriculture
grow up haphazard, like Topsy. He
dares to speak of the "existing chaos"
in our agriculture and to more than In
timate that It Is due to the fault of the
farmer.
Some of the plain things he says about
us are amazingly frank:
"We had." he sas. "better face the
fact frankly that we are relatively In
efficient, take stock of our shortcomings,
and earnestly seek for the remedy. That
we have practically reached the stage
where we have ceased to be an exporting
nation of food products and are becom
ing dcepndent on foreign nations for the
necessaries of life, is a commentary on
our use of the opportunities bestowed
upon us."
Xen Word to Americans.
Now this is not the way In which the
American people are accustomed to be
ing addressed by their official servants
in Washington. We usually have large
figures paraded before our eyes showing
how we lead the world In this crop or
that Mr. Houston uses large figures
also, but he uses them to shame us. He
tells us of K3.00O.0n0 acres of arable
land, only 400.000,000 acres of which are
Improved, and only If) per cent of these
reasonably well cultivated.
He tells us our rural schools are a
failure, our methods of distribution are
etude and bungling, our rural hygiene
undeveloped, our country roads a dis
grace. Three things, he says, are a
souroo of constant wonder to him: First.
why most of the teachers In the rural
districts continue to teach; second, why
communities continue to employ them on
any terms: third, "why a man who has
any regard for tne future oi nis chil
dren will remain in the rural districts
as they exist today, if he can possibly
get out."
The averase salary of a teacher In
the rural districts, he tells us. Is but
$300 a jear. In the rich State of Illinois
it ranges from J"50 to JtOO a year. In
Vermont. Maine, and North Carolina It
is but 00 a year. He knows what he Is
talking about.
"Our country teachers," he says, "com
monly teach In one-room buildings. I
taught In such a building and boarded
around. It was unpalnted and uncetled,
and a mile from the nearest house. The
yard, cut out of the woods, was filled
with weeds and stumps. My pupils
ranged from seven to twenty-six years of
age. We almost froze In the winter and
burned up In the summer." Thousands
and thousands of such schools still exist,
he asserts.
Pinna Jinny Ttrfornn.
That Mr. Houston is more concerned
about Improving the conditions of living
back on the farm than in Increasing the
crops Is shown from what. If correctly
stated, follows:
What he has In mind Is to develop
good schools, competent doctors, places
of amusement, system of sanitation and
rural credits. He Is also concerned about
the substitution of a good'central church
for three or four weak and struggling
ones. His department. If he has his way,
will work along all these lines, includ
ing meat-Inspection, animal and plant
quarantine, prevention of seed adultera
tion, pure foods, protection for game
birds, the use of Insecticides and fungi
cides. To these he will add the study ot
marketing methods, of transportation.
and of co-operation In production. Not
long ago be sent out letters, to the
women of 65.090 farms to. get a line on
their needs. Theyt have responded volum
Inously and he finds 'himself deluged
with inquiries about hossehold matters,
labor-saving machinery, domestic help,
and many other matters. It is evident
that the Department of Agriculture,
under Mr. Houston, U likely to show us
a development of paternalistic govern
ment that would have made Thomas Jef
ferson gasp
It Is said of Secretary Houston that
he has an Infinite capacity for holding
his tongue. He has also smashed a few
of the political precedents. Just to keep
the President company. For Instance, he
lowered the salary of an Inefficient em
ploye and a Southern Senator came to
protest. "I see." said the Secretary,
"that I made a mistake In that case. I
will rectify It at once." He called the
clerk In and told him that he would re
call the action ot lowering his salary
and Instead he must consider himself
dismissed! .
A week later another case happened
of the same sort. A woman whose salary
waa reduced took her case to a Senator.
He protested In the time-honored way,
and the woman was at once called In
and warned that If she ever again went
to a Senator with a complaint she would
be promptly dismissed. These are told
by a correspondent of the Kansas City
Star as but two incidents out of many.
Looks I.Ike Business Man.
Mr.Houston's description, as given In
a recent Issue of Current Opinion, is that
of a husky, broaa-shouldered, grave and
self-contained man. He Is six feet two
In height and weighs about 100 pounds.
He looks more like a business man than
like a farmer or an educator. But he
has followed the plow, hoed corn and
cotton, pulled fodder, split rails, kept
a country store, taught a country school.
