a precedent, some claiming that audi a
ronrae would be undignified and would dp
tract from tbe lnfinrnr of tbe dnh. On
tie other band, the membership committee
and a good many others, feel that It Is as
liJUMtlo to tboae women wbo hare once
brld membership to ask them to again pay
the Initiation fee Just becau their mem
bership was allowed to lapse, especially as
many of these women bare good excuses
for allowing tbelr membership t lapse,
such as removal or absence from tbe city,
or the failure to understand the time limit
when they might renew. There are also
maty energetic, enthusiastic club women
whose borne duties bare made It impossible
for them to work continuously and who
have not come hack Into tbe club again be
cause of tbelr being required to again pay
the initiation fee.
One thing, however, upon which all of
the club women are agreed is that tb
club's lack of members and lta consequent
financial condition does not warrant Its do
ing anything that la undignified or trivial.
There Is an emergenry fund in tbe bank
and the membership does are sufficient to
pay all running expenses and as the club
has ever been resourceful there la always
tbe "benefit" by hich funds for philan
thropic or other extra work may be ob
tained. Tbe following committees hare be-n ap

There were eight women at the meeting
of the political and social science depart
ment yesterday afternoon and in the ab
sence of Mrs. C. B. Lobingier the depart
ment leader, who is in Washington rep
resenting the local chapter Daughters of
the American Revolution at the continental
congress, Mrs. H. A. Wagner, formerly as
sistant leader, presided. A report was to
have been given by Urs. E. M. Adams of
the recent meeting of the Stae Board of
Charities and Corrections, but her inability
to be present deprived the faithful few of
this pleasure and left a paper on "Our
Working Children in Illinois." by Mrs. Van
Der Heart, chairman of the Industrial com
mittee of tbe Illinois federation, the only
feature of the progrun. This paper was
read by Mrs. Wagner and was followed
by a general discussion.
The French class has practically demor
alised the Woman's 'club for the time being,
at., least, and fortunate Indeed Is the de
partment leader who can get sufficient
women U read papers or talk on any sub
ject for even a brief program. Departments
that count their membership by scores
count their attendance by halt dosens now
adays, while the smaller departments are
not counting1 theirs at all that is, some of
them are not. The worst of It la that no
body seems to feel that she has neglected
a duty, so far as the club is concerned, and
the aole regret of the majority seems to be
that th French department's program
cam so early In the year before they
had mastered French sufficiently to ap
preciate it. It has been suggested that that
department give another program later on
as a substitute for any department whose
diversion from its regular line may make
It inconvenient to present a program.
The regular meeting of the Women's
Christiana Temperance union will be held
at I o'clock on Wednesday afternoon in

LONTOX. Feb. 13. Tbe crt'Jcwm of th
British War office culminated in the Hoaae
of Common today in a motion for s rote
of censure again: War E"cretary Brodriik.
Tbe motion waa in tbe shape of an
amendment to the address in reply to the
speech from tbe throne, regretting tbe
tart thai the "nrganiaiian of the army
was not rutted to the needs of the empire
anj that no pruutii Jouau gain in strength
err e iffirimtj uafl rruJ'ed from tbe recent
increase of military expTOainrrea."
CcTrmwrat Forret Berslt,
The mrrtior vu Identical wltn an amend
ment moved by Sir Henry Campb 11-Ban-nerman,
the L'bejnJ leader, when Mr.
BrodrlLk lntrodnced Lis army reform
scheme in IPO. Today, howrrer. tbe vote
of cenFure was projrtised by Mr. Betkett.
an Influential conserrative, who was sup
ported by a considerable section of revolt
ing unionists.
In Introducing the motion Mr. Berkett
declared that Mr. Brodrick had deplorably
neglected the great cat opportunity ever
given to a minister, and bad produced a
scheme which was not only unsound In
principle, but waa serious in practice and
enormously costly.
Major Zy, conservative; Sir Charles
luike, advanced radical, and others hare
poken in denunciation of tbe War office.
He said he welcomed a direct attack and
defended heatedly if not very ronrinclngly
the Bcbemes for which he was responsible.
He ridiculed the supgeF'ion that Great
Britain could depend on its citiien army,
which he deacribed a a "mob of volun
teers," and pleaded to be given time tn
carry out his army corps scheme, as tbe
result of which "the army for the flirt time
in living m-mory is above Its supposed full
strength in every branch, except the in
fantry." Mr. Broderick made. It is generally ad
mitted, a better defense of his army
scheme than had been expected, but w hat
ever may be the result of tomorrow's divi
sion, the debate revealed that the temper
of tbe country will almost inevitably com
pel the government to mod.fy Its plans.
In brief, the nation is not prepared to
spend lloO.000.WHi annually on the army
againrt fMW.OUO.Obo. as at present. Mr.
Broderick argued that it would take 1150.
OOO.OltO to get an extra 60.000 men. His op
ponents reply thet there ! no need for
such a large army at the risk of starving
the navy.
Miat Heir Kavy-.
Sir Edward Grey put the caRe pointedly
when be said the country could only af
ford to give up a certain number of men
to the profession of arms and that the
army and navy must be takca together.
He could not imagine any war on land re
quiring such a large army. Such a war
in America, be continued, was unthinkable.
while a European war would most probably
be decided on tbe sea. and for home de
fense great reliance could be placed on the
volunteer the moral being that the nary
and not the army was the pillar o. the
empire.
Great interest is taken in the question.
The government organs admit, as did Mr.
Broderick -fcimself, - th peMriMlrry - f a
modification of tbe government's plana.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. After a lengthy
conference today with high officials
of the Washington government. Mr.
Bowen announced that he would call
on tbe Italian and British ambBBBador

and inform them be was ready to proceed
with the drafting of the protocols pro
vided for, the procedure to be followed in
referring U preferential questions to The

If tbe creditor nations wiah to arrange
for tbe settlement of their claims, they
will have to show more anxiety than they
bare in the past few weeks.
Regarding the request of Germany that
Venezuela pay to it the' ii.DOO before
March la. which was tbe limit of time
agreed upon in the protocol, it was said
today that the question was taken up in
thu friendliest spirit with Mr. Bowen by
the German minister here, and that it was
not made in the nature of a demand. Mr.
Bowen informed tbe German minister
when the requeBt was conveyed to
him that having signed the peace protocol
he was no longtr concerned with the mat
ter, and that if Germany aiBbed ibe money
the appeal must be mad? through Ita rep
resentative at Caracas. Thia will be done
when the German minister arrives there.

triumphal entry into New Orleans toduy,
and the Kreae of Protus presented their
gorgeous pageant tonight in the presence
of perhaps the largest multitude ever
gathered in the streets of this city during
tbe Mardl Gras. Tbe weather conditions
were flawless.
Aside from tbe homage paid the king,
the feature of the afternoon parade was
tbe popular demonstration in' honor of Ad
miral Schley and Gen-ral Wheeler, both

nmtses of shouting men and past crowded
galleries of applauding women.
At the conclusion of the parade Admiral

by the Continental guard, in their pictur
esque costumes or the revolution, hi tbe
armory of the command, where, in the
Schley Pleasure club. City Attorney Gil
more preaented the admiral with a beau
tiful Irving cup, bearing an eugralng of
the flagship Brooklyn. The admiral made
a felicitous acknowledgment of tbe Rift.
Tonight Trotus rode through streets con
gested with people at the head of an un
usually magnificent pageant. Tbe uubject
chosen was Rider Haggard's novel "Cleo
patra." and the thrilling story of tbe Egyp
tian queen was illustrated in twenty ra
diantly beautiful floats. Tbe decorations
of clubs, business houses, hotels and pri
vate residences were on an extensive and
elaborate scale.
Following the parade Protus was host at
a brilliant ball at the French o.iera bouse.
Admiral Schley, General Wheeler, Mias
Alice Roosevelt and Miss Root were tbe
most distinguished guema and the highest
honors were paid them. Jaisi Roosevelt
