Mexico City, Jan. 17.—The federal
war office today declared that if Gen-
eral Salvador Mercado, lately com-
mander of the federal troops at Ojin-
aga, returns to Mexico he will be court-
martialed by the first federal force he
encounters.
Government officials have nick-
named General Mercado “The Evacua-

with the manner in which he aban-

Washington, Jan. 17.—The battleship
Ohio, b'eing fumigated for smallpox off
Delaware Breakwater, was today or-

for Mexico to relieve the Kansas, which
will proceed to Guantanamo for win-
ter maneuvers with the Atlantic fleet.
The change will leave seven American
battleships, and half a dozen smaller

The cruiser New Orleans is en route

Roberts said Wood was an assumed
name, but he was unable to say what
his friend’s real name was. He said
Wood left Tennessee two years ago
because of some political trouble in
which he became involved and came to
California.
Wood, according to Roberts, has a
son living in Memphis, Tenn., and a
daughter in Dexter, Mo. He was 54
years old.
Previous to the tragedy Wood had
been to a picture show with Roberts.
Roberts left Wood at Wood’s hotel and
went to his own home, where he found
Miss Wood hysterical. She had found
a note from her uncle saying that he
had decided to kill himself as he had
lost his money and his friends had de-
serted him.
Roberts and Miss Wood hastened to
the hotel and burst in on Wood and
Miss Wood upraided him for what the
woman termed a “ghastly joke.” Sud-
denly she took a revolver from a bu-
reau drawer and shot herself through
the heart.
Wood leaped across his niece’s body,
snatched up the weapon and shot him-
self through the heart. Both died
within a few minutes.
In San Francisco Wood engaged in
the restaurant business, but six months
ago he sold his business. His niece,
Roberts said, had literary aspirations,
and wrote short stories and motion
picture plays.
Roberts’ statement that Wood, under
another name, had once been a member
of the Tennessee supreme court, gave
no details.

The double tragedy occurred at a
local hotel while Miss Wood and a
'friend of Wood, Edward Roberts, were
trying to dissuade him from carrying
out his threat to kill himself. While
Roberts was talking with Wood, Miss
Wood shot herself dead. A moment
later Wood had died by his own hand,

New York, Jan. 17.—After a year of
personal investigation in eleven Euro-
pean countries Dr. Abraham Flexner,
commissioned by the Bureau of Social
Hygiene, of which John D. Rockefeller
Jr., is chairman, has come to the con-
clusion that police regulation of the
social evil in Europe is a failure and
is rapidly dying out. Stringent legis-
lation, on the other hand, has prac-
tically stamped out the so-called white
slave traffic in young girls, and seg-
regation, he finds, is non-existent any-
where in England or the continent.
These views, upsetting beliefs widely
current in this country as to the status
of commercialized vice in the old world
are set forth in a 450-page volume to
be issued tomorrow.
The report follows that on a similar
investigation of vice conditions in New
York City made a year ago under the
auspices of Mr. Rockefeller’s bureau.
Dr. Flexner spent more than a year
in the preparation of his report in ad-
dition to the twelve months consumed
in gathering material. It is published
under the auspices of the Bureau of
Social Hygiene in the hope that ulti-
mately some effectual means will be
found to combat the evil in the United
States. Mr. Rockefeller himself con-
tributes the foreword.
SEX EDUCATION.
“Sex education,” says Dr. Flexner, “is
the subject of as much controversy in
Europe as in this country. Despite the
prevalent notion to the contrary,” he
writes, “the subject of sex-education is
as yet very largely in the realm of
theory or controversy. As to this
point, a strange misconception obtains.
In England, one hears that great
Progress has been made in this field
in Germany; in Germany one is re-
ferred with equal positiveness to Scan-
dinavia; in Scandinavia to Finland,
whither, however, I did not pursue the
will-o’-the-wisp. The facts are these:
No recignition is given to sex-instruc-
tion in English schools at all. The
headmasters and house-masters in
some of the great public schools—no-
tably Eton—endeavor, however, to gain
the confidence of the boys individually.
In Prussia which is representative of
the states of the German empire, sex-
instruction of any kind is very rarely
given at the popular schools.
In Denmark and Norway, nothing
either of a general or a compulsory
character exists; Sweden practically
repeats Prussia, offering no instruction
in popular schools, an optional lecture
to last year students in the higher
secondary schools, particularly those
for girls, in the discretion of the head-
master or head-mistress. Systematic
or general instruction has developed as
yet nowhere in Europe.”
Explaining the decline in the syste-
matic traffic in young girls, the writer
details successive steps in legislation
due to popular agitation in late years,
and asserts that . the • entrapping and
immuring of a girl may be classed as
the exception, like a mysterious mur-
der or robbery.
“Under existing conditions,”' he says,
“there is absolutely no reason to think
that such cases occur frequently,
though there are those who would be
quick to take advantage of any relaxa-
tion of vigilance on the part of gov-
ernments, the police, and the private
organizations constantly on the alert.
In the cases to which, from time to
time, attention has been sensationally
called, the women involved are neither
innocent nor deceived. On the other
hand, there is evidence to suggest that
European cities and ports are utilized*
for purposes of transit to South Amer-
ican ports, where the trade still four-
ishes. A trafficker may entice a girl
from Poland and Galicia on the prom-
ise of marriage or work; indeed every
police office in Europe has a list of
men thus engaged. The countries from
which women are procured are believed
slender. Again, a segregated quarter
would giv© to vice the greatest possible
prominence. Finally, it would expose
to moral contagion those who are al-
ready most imperilled and whom every
consideration of interest and decency
should impel society to protect— the
children of the poor. For the segre-
gated quarter will inevitably be lo-
cated where rents are low and where
the neighbors have least influence.”
On the whole, Mr. Flexner is of the
opinion that regulation of any sort is
calculated to increase the value of im-
morality. The existence of regulation,
he says, amounts to a tacit admission
by the state that the business is in a
to be mainly Hungary, Galicia, Poland
and Rumania; the countries to which
they are carried, Brazil, Argentina,
South Africa and Levant.”
It was found that there exists an ex-
tensive trade in fallen women to meet
the demand of underworld resorts, and
back of all the crass commercialism of
the cadet and the disorderly house-
keeper, promoters of an industry “de-
liberately, cultivated by third parties
for their own profit.”
EUROPE A MAN’S WORLD.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 17.—Brigadier Gen-
eral Taskar H. Bliss, in a message to
the war department today reporting
the arrest of the Mexican general, Jose
Ynez Salazar at Sanderson, Texas, said
Brigadier General Parker, command-
ing the first cavalry brigade, had re-
ceived a report of the death of Gen-
eral Orozco. No details as to time or
place were given. The,last officially
heard from General Orozco, ha was
supposed to be in Quatro Cienegas,
Coahuila.
career from which well-meaning inef-
fectual pleading has first endeavored
to deter. The permission implied in
the existence of regulation is at cross
purposes with the sound, attitude im-
plied by the effort to persuade the girl
to renounce her vicious ways. The
social effort under these circumstances
is little more than a sop to the popular
demand that the state address itself
with all its might to prevention and to
salvation and under no circumstances
to authorization.
“This, then, is the final and weight-
iest objection to regulation; not that
it fails as hygiene, not that it is con-
temptible as espionage, not that it is
unnecessary as a police measure, but
that it obstructs and confounds th©
proper attitude of society towards all
social evils.”
Mr. Flexner argues that, if th© so-
cial evil can be increased by artificial
stimulation, it can likewise be lessaned.
Its complete stamping out, he adds,
cannot be hopefully prophesied even if
summary and persistent action were
taken, but that repression can be di-
rected with results against the exploit-
ers of the traffic.
In concluding, Mr. Flexner says our
attitude, toward the social evil; in so
far as these factors are concerned, can-
not embody itself in a special remedial
or repressive policy, for in this sense
it must be dealt with as part of the
larger social problems with which it is
inextricably entangled. Civilization has
stripped for a life-and-death wrestle
with tuberculosis, alcohol and other
plagues. It is on the verge of a sim-
ilar struggle with the crasser forms
of commercialized vice. Sooner or later
it must fling down the gauntlet to the
whole horrible thing. This will be the
real contest—a contest tha will tax
the courage, the self-denial, the faith,
the resources of humanity to their ut-
termost.”

believes, he still finds that there is
no social inhibition as regards immor-
ality in man. “Europe has been a
man’s world,” he writes—“managed by
men and largely for men—and cynical
men at that—men distinctly lacking in
respect for womanhood, especially of
the working classes. The military, the
aristocracy, the student, are all con-
ceded their fling. Women, whose in-
fluence might have been exerted re-
strainingly, have been trained not to
pry into the pre-matrimonial records
of their husbands; fathers fashion their
sons, as a rule, after their own image.
“Amid conditions as they exist in
Paris, Berlin and Vienna, and the
smaller towns like Geneva, which as-
pire to be world cities by being licen-
tious, growing youth is characterized
not by a normal, healthy and natural
development, but by an over-stimulated
and purely artificial excitation of in-
stinct.”
“In the hands of the good women lies
the power for reform,” says Dr. Flex-
ner. “Though no quantitative evidence
of improving morality can be given,
various movements supply proof that
opinion is undergoing a change which
must in the end affect conduct. Cus-
tom once practically constrained the
French student in the Latin quarter to
swim with the current; now it has be-
come possible to lead a blameless life
without incurring contempt for his
idiosyncracy; an impassioned literature
appealing to the German student has
made its appearance. The woman’s
movement will unquestionably destroy
the passivity of German women in re-
spect to masculine irregularities. The
task of developing continence in na-
tions habituated to indulgence is one
of inexpressible difficulty; but it may
be fairly said that now for the first
time it has been deliberately faced on
the Continent by a small but earnest
band of men and women bent upon the
purification of life.”

rious European cities, plying their
trade under police license, and brands
the system a failure. Only a fraction
of these women are enrolled.
“Moreover,” he says, “the streets
from which the licensed one has agreed
to withdraw are not infrequently those
where she is most at home; and a large
loophole for police favor and corrup-
tion is thus created by the existence
of rules only occasionaly and capri-
ciously enforced. But other conse-
quences follow. What is allowed to
the inscribed cannot be forbidden to
the uninscribed; it is not in human
nature to forbid to the one what is so
freely allowed to the other. The very
fact that 6,000 inscribed women are
legally entitled to patrol most streets
in Paris and are suffered to patrol the
others, makes it impossible for the
police to act vigorously and continu-
ously against six or eight times as
many clandestines who avail them-
selves of the same privilege.
“In respect to street order, regulation
is, therefore, in my judgment, a hind-
rance, not a help, for it is at war with
its own avowed object. Consequently
no regulated city possesses streets as
'free from scandal as the streets of
Amsterdam, Zurich and Liverpool—all
non-regulated cities, in which a consis-
tent and thorough-going course of ac-
tion bearing .on all women alike is
feasible.”
To the licensed house, Mr. Flexner
says, public opinion in Europe is be-
coming increasingly hostile. “At the
present time,” h© says, “they are per-
mitted in France, Belgium, Austria-
Hungary and Italy; forbidden in the
German empire, Holland, Switzerland
(excepting Geneva), Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and Great Britain. - In France
and Austria no further concessions will
under any circumstances be granted;
and whenever such a place closes, the
institution is so much nearer extinc-
tion.”
SEGREGATION FAILURE.
The vast majority of depraved wom-
en in Europe live untouched by police
control, nothwithstanding the license
system, says the investigator. This
shatters the prevalent idea that li-
censed resorts effect segregation.
“Segregation is not undertaken in any
European city from Budapest to Glas-
gow. Segregation is, therefore,’ im-
practicable; more than this, any at-
ten.pt to bring it about is also recog-
nized to be inadvisable. In the first
place, the impossibility of thorough-
ness creates an obvious opportunity for
police corruption; a woman who ob-
jects to being segregated may for an
adequate consideration induce the po-
lice to overlook her; and as hundreds
