AMERICAN YACHTS ' EXPECTED TO Will In the German Contest that Will Be Sailed Today Over the Kiel Course.

(National News Aa.oriatlon) Kiel, Germany, June 19. With a Crest crowd of yachting enthusiasts from all Western Europe and many partisans ot the American entrants on band, all Interest Is centered In the bis international sonder yacht racing regatta, that begins today and it Is predicted that the closest competition In the history of the event will develAn mm m rAault stf tho 4lnflntlvA laaa of the craft that will contest for the kaiser's cup. Emperor William, himself an ardent lover of all water sports and Prince Henry of Prussia, who has contributed the second prize, arrived Sunday and spent the afternoon making an Inspection of the visiting craft. Although the series stands two to one In favor of the Americans by reason of their victories at Marblehend In 1906 and 1909, the Yankee yachtsmen are manifesting unusual anxiety to retrieve the defeat at Kiel in 1907 1 and at least two of their yachts are expected to prove well adapted to the rough water conditions of the narrow wight of t!e Baltic Sea over which the rare will be sailed. Observation today Indicates that the weather will be Ideal for the event, as Italtic weather goes, so that the experience of tho Germans on their choppy home water is not likely to prove a tremendous handicap for the Americans to overcome. The contest will probably resolve Itself Into .i battle of sheer merit with the fastest boat in the lead. American Entries. The yachts Bibelot, Beaver and Cima, representing the United States have all been put In the best of shape hy their skippers and crews who have been working overtime the Inst few days going over every detail of their construction so as to leave no stone unturned In their chances of annexing the victory. Probably the fastest of the American trio ia the Bibelot, owned jointly by R. W. Emmons. Jr., of Doston. and Harry Payne Whitney, the world re'rowned New York sportsman. Mr. Whitney stayed at home to play polo against the British champions, so Captain Emmons, who is a member of the Eastern Yacht club, has the craft In charge and will sail her today. Assisting him In the handling of the 'Bibelot will be It. De Doardman and John Parkinson, who lent their aid In the overhauling of the trim little flytr at the Herreshoff yards and In tuning her up in the practice spins in 'Narragansett Bay, before she was j shipped to New York to join her two comrades of the American armada for J the trip across the ocean. Captain i Emmons has chartered a large ateam ; yacht for the Kiel week, and It will be i gay with American tourists and pleaslire seekers throughout the regatta. The Beaver which won second place In the international series with the 1 Spanish yachtsmen a year ago Is owned and will be sailed by her entire i crew, A. H. Eustace, George B. DabHey and George Nichols. All three are members of the Beverly Yacht club of Bustard's Bay and two of them are ' members of the Eastern Yacht club. The Cima, which finished third In 'the Spanish races, will be sailed by Yacht club, and he will have with him I J. Robertson Harding, who was on the boat last last year, and Arthur i Adams, the jibsheet man of the victorious Harpoon of last year. The 'Cima is probably the best manned of the American boats. Germans Interested. 1 It would not be exaggerating to say that this year's sonder class races, the fourth of the annual International contesta, are attracting more attention in Germany than at any previous holding of the event. Before the German team was selected, eighteen special onder yachts were constructed, one ! being for Prince Adelbert. The elimination trials to decide what three of the craft would represent Germany Iwere bitterly fought out by all the j prospective competitors, and it was only after a series of races that the best of the boats could be collected. This remarkable increase in the j number of yachts has given rise to discuslon in German yachting circles 'as to the possibility and advisability of changing the class ot yachts taking part in future holdings of the Emperor William Cup race, in event that the Americans should win this time, which would give them their third and final victory, as the competition is for the best three out of five wins. Suggestions have been made that in future six-metre It yachts should be selected but no official action in this direction has been taken. - Henry Howard, the originator of international sonder yacht racing who is the official representative of America on the board of umpires for the Emperor William Cup race, declared today that he does not think the United States yachting moguls would consent to a change in the class of the competing yachts, especially since the contests under present stipulations have proved so satisfactory. "If you think interest in this event is going to wane, all you have to do," be said, "is to take a glance at the hotel rosters in this town and see how the place Is filled up with pleasureseekers, many of whom have come thousands of miles with the express purpose of witnessing these races."

HOT TO BE MERGED

"Girl Guides" Are to Remain Independent. (National News Association) Spokane, Wash., June lS.-Girl Guides of America, a continent-wide movement organized in Spokane last spring, has not been nor will it be amalgamated with the Girl Scouts of Des Moines, or the Pioneer Girls of New York, said Rev. David Ferry, pastor of Emmanuel Tresbyterian church on returning from New York, where he attended a conference of officers of the three societies. "The newi item sent broadcast from New York at the instance of the press committee of the Pioneer Girls were misleading and without authority," Rev. Mr. Ferry added. "It is true the Girl Guides were invited to Join the merger and I was asked to become chairman of its advisory committee, but I waB unable to accept either pro posal before consulting with our ex ecutive committee. "Of course, while I believe that more effective work could be done by one central organization, probably having its national headquarters in Chicago, I did not approve of the methods that were resorted to In an effort to force tho western society into the new order. I am opposed to the means employed." Rev. Mr. Ferry has had several con ferences with members of the executive committee of the Girl Guides of America, and it was decided to go ahead with the organization independent of other societies. "We have received advices through H. P. Wood, secretary of the Hawaii Promotion committee , that Madame Frear, wife ot the governor of Hawaii, Is interested In the movement and expects to organize several patrols at Honolulu and other cities in the terri tory," Rev. Mr. Ferry announced, "and I also have letters from hundreds of cities in the central, middle west ern, southern and Pacific states and several provinces In the Dominion of Canada, intimating they are ready to Join our movement." HEW MASONIC PLAN Of Instructing Boys Has Been Launched. (National News Association) Spokane, Wash., June 19. Mem bers of the Masonic order throughout the northwest today are discussing the suggestion by Jeremiah Neterer of Relllngham, in his annual address as grand master at the 64th session of the grand lodge of Washington in Spokane, that each attract the confidence of a boy and direct him into ways of right. It is expected that most of the 175 lodges In the state, with 16,500 members enrolled, will adopt the plan before the year is ended. "I believe that if such a movement were launched by the Masons in this jurisdiction," Judge Neterer said, "in tense would be the interest and great would be the result and pleasure in much constructive work in real character building. "There exists a necessity for whole some influence and fraternal co-opera tion in behalf of boys. The course of conduct and treatment of many boys at home and by the public should be changed. Worthy examples should be presented and wholesome sentiment created. You can initiate a plan which will properly direct and conserve the energy and ambition of the boy. "The highest authorities are agreed that nothing in the world so shapes a boy's soul and character as quiet talks with grown men about things they live for and amidst. In this way the boy is aroused to think and do the very best there Is in him. "Make a companion of some boy; be a big brother to him and have him visit you; go to his home after the labor of the day has closed and show him he is a part of the world and that some one is interested in his welfare; direct his mind In a wholesome course place designs for his improvement upon the trestle board of life, and thus bring his acts within the extended points of the compass and yourself nearer the throne of the eternal God." A Little Risky. Suppose your wife it is a wild supposition, of course, but let as Just Imagine it for once set up ber own judgment against yours in some vital matter. Try this way out of the difficulty. Say to her: "My dear, you know that my judgment is above criticism, for 1 bad the Inspired wisdom to select you from among the many, but you. on tbe other hand, cannot place absolute reliance upon your Judgment if. after accepting me. you find yourself wavering as to your confidence In my ability to direct our ways," Too will readily see that a wife in wisdom cannot protest against such a diplomatic assertion ot domestic leadership.

EARLHAM SENIORS

"SAKOIITALA Beautiful Hindu Drama Will ' Be Presented on Outdoor Stage Tuesday. Tomorrow evening fifty-two members of the Senior class of Earlharn college will appear on the Chase Out Door stage and present the Hindu classical drama. "Sakuntala," In its second performance In the United States. This afternoon a full dress rehearsal was "held under the direction of Professors E. P. Trueblood and Cleveland K. Chase and Oran W. Hankin3, of Calcutta, India, the designers of the costumes. "Sakuntala," the class play, promises to be the most beautiful drama ever presented In tile city and will rival any in costumes ever staged here. Mr. Hankins, who has been a missionary In India for several years has loaned ithe class several gorgeous robes and ornaments worn by the royalty and) priests of India, and these will be used tomorrow evening. Besides these he has designed a number of costumes and prepared special dyes to get the strange tints characteristic of Indian costumes. First on the Stage. Because of the heavy rain last Saturday and the inability to stage the "Robin Hood" opera on the new stage, the class play tomorrow evening will be the first production to appear in the ampitheater at the college. With the new stage arrangement, the only one of its kind in the state, over two thousand people can be seated In case of rain. Tuesday, however, arrangements have been made to give it in the college chapel. When the play was translated for the Smith college production in 1904 special music was written by the director of the music department at the University of Wisconsin and this music will be used by the class. Professor Will Earhart and Miss Laura Gaston will direct it tomorrow. Tbe play, In point of interest, equals any classical play of England and Greece and the story briefly follows: Dusbyanta, the Rajah of India, while on a royal hunt is lost in the forest where he meets Sakuntala, the foster daughter of the hermit Kanwa and after a short courtship they are married. While living among the Brahamans with his new bride he is summoned to his palace, but before leaving he gives Sakuntala the ring which she is to present at the palace when he sends for her to celebrate their marriage feast. As he rushes away from Sakuntala, th sage Durvasus pronounces a curse upon Sakuntala and Dushyanta, saying that the Rajah shall thenceforth forget her. Later Sakuntala's attendants, Anasuya and Priyamvada, plead with him and he modifies his curse so that when the ring is presented, the Rajah will recognize her. Sakuntala and her attendants on their way to the palace stop at the beach to bathe. The Rajah's ring is too large for her finger and she loses it but does not discover her loss until she reaches the palace and wishes to present the ring of recognition. True to Durvasus's curse Dushyanta does not recognize her. A fisherman has been arrested for having a royal ring in his possession and as he Is arranged before the court Dushyanta recognizes the ring, remembers Sakuntala his wife and immediately sends after her. While Dushyonta is pursuing the enemies of the gods, he sees a boy sitting In a tree refusing to get down at the entreaties of his nurses. Suddenly Sarva Damana jumps down but drops his sacred amulet which has the power of killing anyone picking it up who is not his father or mother. This the Rajah hands to the nurses and when he is not killed he Is recognized as the boy's father. Then Sakuntala enters, recognizes the Rajah as her husband and the boy asks his mother, "Who is that man?" , The "Ear of Dionysius." A cunningly constructed prison cavern, consisting of a large chamber con nected with one of smaller dimensions situated near Syracuse. Italy, has gone into legendary hLstory with tbe title of the "Ear of Plonyslus."

Lot of Frenchwomen Not One Envied by American Women

BY LA RACONTEUSE. j Paris. June 19. While the men of France ever since the Revolution have always enjoyed the most unrestricted personal freedom, whether married or single, the lot of the Frenchwoman has never been one to be envied. The poor girls who are permitted to go to work and make their own living have really been the most fortunate, for they have at least always had opportunity of seeing a little of life, while the daughters of the well-to-do are really prisoners until the day they marry. While still quite young, they are sent to the convent schools, where the discipline is horribly strict and when they leave these institutions, they return to their homes, where they have nothing to do but wait for husbands who never turn up. Now, however, the worm has" turned at last, and during the last few weeks, facts have come to light in Paris and the large provincial towns which point to a revolution brought about by girls of good families, who have invaded the labor market. The revolt of the daughters is showing itself in various ways. It has been found that the daughters of wealthy manufacturers are taking situations as governesses. There are cases of land owners' daughters filling positions as housekeepers in comparatively humble households, while girls of good family, weary of attending balls and Eociety functions in the hope of meeting eligible husbands, are doing work of housemaids and doing it well. Instances are given of educated girls who have taken menial positions in families, entertaining their masters and mistresses to musical evenings. They rejoice in their freedom and in the fact that they are independent of their families, on whom, under the old conditions, they had to rely for pocket money. This new development of the feminists movement is; seen in most of the professions. Girls who were from the first destined to earn their living are meeting with considerable competition from their sisters more fortunately circumstanced. Reports from employment agencies show that the latter are eager to accept situations which will take them home, and that, in their anxiety to be independent, they do not haggle about terms. The Viscomtesse Helene du Nuce, better known" as "La Belle Chiquita," la again in the public eye. Last year she took action against an ironmaster, claiming heavy damages because he had deserted her. On that occasion, ehe asserted that it would be impossible for her to live on less than $5,000 a year. During the hearing of the case, a contract between tbe danc

Since then "La Belle Chiquita" has had other romantic adventures. Sev eral black-coated men entered her dwelling a few days ago and carried off her husband. The dancer herself tells how she came to marry. Two years ago a young man fell madly in love with her. She gave him no encouragement, but he threatened to do something desperate if she sent him away. Her heart was softened, and she and the young man became good friends. Last summer the young man fell into bad health, and was sent to Switzerland, whence he wrote that he was kept a prisoner in a miserable inn. "La Belle Chiquita" went to his aid. m She found him installed in luxurious quarters. Tbe couple went to Evian, where, at his request, she went through a form of marriage with him. The marriage was not valid. A few months later the young man went to America to seek his fortune. The dancer joined him, her intention being to make a living by teaching languages. In March of this year, the marriage took place at Boston in accordance with American law. The dancer, however, resided in New York. She received a letter from her husband informing her that two of his cousins who lived at Boston were ill-using him and keeping him shut up. The dancer found that there was no truth in this story. The couple now decided to return to France. During the voyage the hus band became ill of influenza, and had been attended by doctors since his arrival in Paris. His father, becoming anxious about his health sent an uncle to visit him. The day following this visit to the husband wrote to his parents to the effect that he was kept a prisoner, and asking them to come to his help. The invitation was accepted, and two days ago detectives removed the young man in an ambulance. It is not stated that the parents intend to take action to annul the marriage. It may be, therefore, that "La Belle Chiquita" will figure in another action, which like the former, will not lack piquant details. A poor woman who for several years had rolled cigarets in the Rue Saint Andre des Arts, using the state monopoly's tobacco, has just been heavil fined by the Correctional Chamber at the instance of the Ad ministration of Indirect Taxes. She eked out a vary precarious livilhood by making cigarets. All the same, is was considered that she had defraudlay

MSUnTT MdDTIHIEISS

ed the state, and a fine of $23.S10 was imposed upon her. If she cannot pay the fine and no one believes that she can she is liar ble to two year's imprisonment. During the time she had been making cigarets she had used 25 kilogrammes (a kilogramme is a little over 21b) ot tobacco. The total value of this tobacco is about $16,000. The authorities based the heavy fine on the notebooks which she carefully kept, and which indicated the quantity of tobacco she had used.

The other night I went to see, at the Casino de Paris, the last performance after a most successful engagement of Gaby de Vallia. I am glad it was the last show, or I should have gone to see her dance every evening since, which would not have been good for me. Gaby de V. is described on the program as "la danseuse lascive," which description about nits the mark. She is very young pretty, and French at that . She dances very beautifully and has been well taught, for her protector, good fellow that he is, thinking that she ought to have two ways of earning her milliner's bills, sent her to take lessons from the very well known Madame Dayues Papurelli. The feminists In France are now organizing a great campaign through out the country, not with a view to se curing the Parliamentary vote, but in order to force the Chamber and the Senate to pass a law which shall enable women to sit on municipal, coun ty and district councils. Already they have secured the sup port of 163 deputies. They are again circularizing the deputies, and when they obtain a majority a bill will be Introduced in the chamber.
