Hayward—Then why didn't you vote to stop it? A. The matter never came up (Laughter). Q. You had the right, though, to move before the commission to have promptly. Q. Was it not the concengus of opinion in the commission that the matter of ordering an increase in the number of cars on the elevated lines should be deferred until the matter of the dual contracts was settled? A. Yea, because the contracts necessitated a revamping of the entire B. R. T. sys- tem. We wanted to wait until we found whether the dual contracts were going through. We did later order the purchase of 100 new cars, Q. Now, Mr. Williams, are we to understand that it was the concensus of opinion in the commiasion that it would be better to sidetrack the ac- tion til the dual contracts were settled? A.I protest against the word “sidetracked;” J’ not have you putting words in my mouth. WORDY TILTS TWEEN COM- MISSION AND INQUIGITOR.

TELLS ROLE OF GERMAN WOM- EN IN WAR. “You would like to know something about the role of the German women in thie war,” said the Crown Princess when she had completed her visita- tions, “Our women are playing a big and important role. They are voluntarily mobilised for the Fatherland, and as unselfishly and heroically as the men they are playing their part. The men fight; the women minister and work. ‘With the Red Croas they console and hetp widows, care for the wounded, work in the gardens and in the fields and everywhere where a pair of hands are needed. “The German women are heroically siving their all—father, husband, brother—their own strength, work and services, all, all for the Fatherland. But in the privacy of thelr own Tooms they sometimes weep.” “I do not belleye that any true German mother or ‘wife Was for the war or can be. That they gave freely of their sons to the Fatherland when it was in danger has been shown and is being shown daily. But, that they wanted war—aek any Ger- man mother or German wite.” PRAISES AMERICA FOR CHRIST- MAS SHIP GIFTS. The Crown Princess praised the generosity and kindness of America to the women and children of all the warring nations, and especially ex- pressed appreciation over the Christ- mags gifts sent to Germany, “I hope they never may be, but I lam certain that if your country should been our German She declared that none of her babies have seen their father since the war children miss. him,” she said, “but has not been back here in Berlin since the war began.

BOSTON, Feb. 15.—Summer trips to high altitudes will be no longer neces- sary to hay fever sufferers if the ex- periments announced by Dr. Harris P. Mosher, at the Harvard Medical School fulfil his expectations. Dr. Mosher has been experimenting to find a vaccine for hay fever, and at & public lecture before the Medical School yesterday he explained that if a hay fever patient could decide on the particular flower or weed pollen which caused his affliction, he had only to in- ceulate himself with a vaccine made from extracts of this pollen to become immune to its effects. The only effect thus fer noticed from tngculation with pollen serum, the physician said, was a Jocal rash, which vanished in « short N New York: 184 B’way, at John.
