MADRID PLANS CONVENTION OF women International Suffrage Alliance to Discuss Spreading Out of Cause. NATIONALITY AN ISSUE LONDON, Jan. 10.—Mias Chryatal Macmillan, first recording secretary of the International Woman Suffrage alliance, has just left London for Spain In order to make arrangements for the convention which is to be held in Madrid in March or April. Before going, she was interviewed at the headquarters of the alliance by a representative of the Christian Science Monitor. “We have not been able to hold a congress since 1913 on account of the war,” said Miss Macmillan. “That was held at Budapest and was Interesting for many reasons. But the 1920 convention will be far more important than any of its predecessors. It is not only that for time the majority of the deleflfffuis will represent enfranchised women; [but it will take place at a time when [practically the whole world is sloughing un ancient skin and casting about for n better garment. Ideals and Ideas that ■vere once considered Impracticable and ftven absurd are now accorded a more Respectful consideration. ■ And as the International Womin Suffrage alliance stands for progress and ■mrity in national and international affairs as well as the political emancipation of women, the decisions it comes to pt the convention will undoubtedly InIfluence the reshaping of continents and Countries In the right direction.”

NVITATION FROM SPANISH WOMEN. "Why is the congress being held in Ipain?” Miss Macmillan was asked. For several reasons,” was the reply. First of all, of course, we received a ordial invitation from the Spanish Yemen. But as most of the countries iffiliated to the alliance are usually not >ackward ih pressing their claims, that vas not the chief consideration. As rou know, the Latin races have not sitherto been particularly progressive, n regard to their women they have in!eed been most reactionary. Recently, lowever, much headway has been made n the Spanish-speaking countries; and re are now receiving application for iffiliation from such places as Uruguay, Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, which in the ast twelve months or so have formed women's suffrage associations of their own. And we have received a letter from our Spanish correspondent informing us that the conservative party in [Spain has drafted a bill to enfranchise [women, which will be presented during [the next parliamentary session. I "Our holding the convention In Ma-Ly-ld will give an impetus and be a ■fat help to the movement in the bru-fe-Bard Spanish colonies. There will not Ely be enfranchised delegates present, ut we hope, women members of parltalent from England, th 6 United States, Canada, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Holand, Iceland, Germany, and Austria. As here is now also an enormous movement mong the women in the east we ex>ect to have delegates present who will ■epresent Parsees, Hindus. Mohammelans, and Christian Indians.” IGENDA NOT FT PREPARER. “What subjects will the conference dls■uss, and what line do you think it t-ill take in regard to the league of unions?” was,, the next question put. “The agenda has no* yet l>een drawn ip,” said Miss Macmillan; “and women liffer politically as well as men. But I an tell you about some of the questions n which Important decisions will be sachod: , “-. The emancipation of women In Bose countries where the vote has not won. The alliance will decide ■Bit can help the women of such nato obtain their political freedom. Marriage laws, guardianship, and ■ghts of children. The s e differ in vnrihds countries, and only in one has the ■lrrled mother equal parental rights ■ith the father. Under the new GorBan constitution passed In .Tnly. and In Be drafting of which thirty-eight wommembers of parliament took part, is now equality of the sexes in rights. The Industrial and professional Buis of women. This again is different country. Some nations have alconceded the basic rule of equal- ■ in regard to the professions, while have hardly begun to consider question. Tn Industry It is the trade unions that have to be gElt with. They are afraid that th of women would undermine the which they have labored to about. But equal opportunities ■l equal pay for equal work would Bviate th3t difficulty. It is also essen- ■ l that regulations concerning the hours Es women’s labor and other restrictions Eould be decided by women themselves. Ehe Danish rigsdag has recently passed I bill embodying the rule of equal n.y ■or women In all positions under the State. Example taken ■FROM AMERICANS. I “4. Widows' and mothers' pensions. ■\merica has made an excellent beginning E the right direction; and England and It her countries are now working for legislation on the same lines. ■ “5. Women In the league of nations Ind the status of women throughout the Eorld. Nothing short of absolute equally will satisfy the International Suffrage Bllanee. ■ “6. The nationality of married women. Bhe war has shown this to be of paraBount importance; and there is no other Boman's reform on which it is so neeesBry that women should internationally Ell together. A law has just been ■assed in Canada to enable a married woman to apply for nationalisation independently of her husband. As it now Bands this law will have effect only in ■anada, and a Canadian or British-born Eoman married to an alien would still [Take the nationality of her husband in .Britain. I However, it Is a beginning and will [no doubt be soon followed by other ►ountries. But the important point is lhat a woman should have the same Kght to letain the nationality of her as a man. She should lose It only pa the same conditions as a man. The Uaw is not everywhere based on old fustorn, but is of recent introduction In the Anglo-Saxon countries at least. |n the united kingdom, before 1870, a British woman remained British even [if she married a foreigner. And in the t'nited States it was not till the beginning of the twentieth century that it [was definitely laid down in a statute |hat a woman was to take the nationality of her husband.

Japanese Write f. Ads in Poetry TOKIO, Jan. 56.—Japanese advertisements are nothing if not poetical and picturesque. Here are some from a re;cnt newspaper: "Our merchandise is forwarded with lie rapidity of a bullet.” “Our marvelous paper is as strong as he hide of an elephant.” "You will be received In our store in i stupefying manner. Our employes are is amiable as a father seeking to marrv ils daughters without a. dot.. You will like a ray of sunshine corang after a horrible day cf rain.” But the most piquant was this one: ‘‘Our vinegar, extra quality, is more litter than the anger of the most diaiollo mathar-la-law.’*

Abe Rues Freed of Grip of the Law SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.—The law recently released Its grip on Abe Rues, one-time political boss of San Francisco, convicted in the famous graft scandal following the great fire of 1906. Thus ended the fourteen-year sentence imposed on him by Judge Lawlor. Rues has been at liberty on parole since 1915 and exemplary conduct shortened the sentence. While under parole he was barred from taking part in any political campaign. Since his release Rues has been engaged In managing his own business affairs.

PLAN SHRINE ABOVE CLOUDS IN COLORADO Reproduction of Roman Abbey to Be Placed on Top Mount Holy Cross. 13,978 FEET ABOVE SEA GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 10. —One of the greatest religions spectacles in the annals of Christianity la the Rocky Mountain region will mark me dedication of a proposed shrine on the Mount of the Holy Cross, near Red Cliff, if the plans of Rev. J. P. Carigan, rector of St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic church, of this city, materialize. Father Carrigan is receiving the cooperation of the Holy Cross association in his efforts to establish a site not only for a national shrine, but also for a monastery that will be occupied by the ancient order of Carmelite monks. The architecture is intended to rival the artistic old abbeys in the old Roman towns that dot the Maritime Alps in southern France and northern Italy. GETS NAME FROM CROSS. Towering 13,978 feet Into the clouds, the Mount of the Holy Cross commands a wonderful panorama of the mountain lakes, picturesque cascades and great stretches of timberland in the Holy Cross national forest below. A great natural cross nearly 1,000 feet long, with its two arms measuring several hundred feet, reposes on the western face of the peak, hence the name. The natural cross and the beautiful and enchanting environs of the surrounding scenery have long been the admiration of tourists at a distance. I? is now planned to build a road from Red Cliff, the nearest town, into the heart of this natural scenic splendor—a burro trail two miles in length, with electric lights along either side the entire distance. The proposal to build the shrine has the approval of the Catholic diocese of Colorado and is being enthusiastically supported by residents of Red Cliff. Glenwood Springs and other towns and cities on the western slope. GREAT CEREMONY BEING PLANNED. Elaborate ceremonies are on the program for the dedication early next year of the shrine, which win be a temporary one, to be followed later by the erection of a large cathedral. A solemn pontifical mass will be read on the Mount of the Holy Cross, with pilgrims from all sections of the country seated In a natural Greek amphitheater facing the huge symbol of Christianity that is stamped in the mountainside. Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas J. Sbahan, rector of the Catholic university of Washington, has signified his intention of being present. Some prominent Dom'nlcan father will deliver the dedicatory sermon, and preparations are being made to entertain many hundred prominent clergy and laymen at the dedication. Recently the North American Air Line association designated the plateau on the Mount of the Holy Cross as a landing station for one of its transcontinental air lines. The plateau is a mile and one-lialf long and 400 yards wide. It will be marked by a huge coni-rete arrow, painted white, indicating the direction of prevailing winds, and will be stamped with a large letter “C,” signifying Colorado.

Girl Imprisoned Fifteen Years Must Start Life Anew Like Baby Harrlette Seres, the 15-year-old girl who has the knowledge of a baby. (Left) As she looks today. (Right) Holding one of the dolls which she still plays with. NEW YORK, Jan. I-. —Love Is responsible for the robbery of fifteen years of ber life from Harrlette Seres, the little girl who has been kept a prisoner that long in a windowless tenement by her mother, Mrs. Margaret Seres.

When asked why she Imprisoned her daughter and dwarfed her mentality by keeping her from other children and other people, Mrs. Seres said simply: “Because I love her.” A strange variety of mother love. When asked why he allowed his wife to do this terrible thing, Howard Seres, the girl's father, replied guilelessly: "Because I love my little girl and because I love my wife and was afraid they would both be taken away from me as they have." When questioned as to why she did not report the actions of her sister sooner, Miss Charlotte Maun, the girl's aunt, said: “Because I love icy sister and did not want to cause her trouble.” And when asked why she did not run away from her mother, Harrlette Seres said: “Because I love my mamma." And so love—the thing that is supposed to amplify, fill with happiness, and be the greatest thing in the life of every one, did exactly the opposite thing to this poor little mite of humanity who laughs every day and isn’t afraid to do it. A queer little thing she is, with the trusting faith of a baby. Her pale blue eyes stare at you and then twist Into

a smile as sickly as her pale little face when she discovers you are smiling at

her. Her body is warped and weak and she Is a cripple besides, not having strength enough to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. When you ask here if she can spell, she replies, “Yes." And then she proceeds to prove it by spelling two words, dog and cat. She knows how old she is, but has no other idea of what numbers mean. She loves 'dolls as any four-year-old child might. She does not know the difference between animals, not being able to discern whether a picture is that of a horse or dog. She is terribly afraid of men, only having seen two In fifteen years. And yet Miss Edith Crane of the home where the girl now Is, believes that she will take to learning like wildfire and that her timely rescue from her “prison” will allow her to bridge in a few years the dark chasm of fifteen years, which have gone before, and become a nearly normal woman.

Huge New Shipyard in Ireland Busy Place LONDON, Jan. 16.—Speaking at a complimentary dinner he gave at the house of commons to Mr. Vogt, the Norwegian minister to Britain, Baldwin Raper, M. P., said the interests of Britain had been interwoven with those of Norway since the days of the good old Vikings and they were highly proud of the fact that the Queen of Norway was of English origin. During the war, he continued, the Norwegians had sacrificed scores of ships and hundreds of lives in upholding the traditions of their race in the worst days of the submarine warMr. Vogt, responding, referred to his experiences in England as minister of Norway during the years of war; and said he had been Impressed by the great moral force of the people—a force born of unlimited individual liberty and a sense of unlimited hospitality. They had produced millions of volunteers and had achieved what every foreign military expert would have declared impossible before the war. Cecil Harmsworth, who also spoke, said that Norwegians had exhibited the characteristic of a great maritime nation. There was one period in the war during which it had seemed conceivable that the entent powers might meet with ultimate reverse, but there was one elemnt on which they all depended—the element of the sea. He was glad Norway intended to set up in London a Norwegian house, at which they would exhibit and so promote the bonds of commerce between the two countries.
