FRANCHISE
FOR WOMEN
Defeated by the Opposition
of the British Chancellor
in Parliament. b
Ry limited Press Wire.

By United PRESS wire. n
London, July 13-"The defeat OF the
Shackleton bill, granting the right OF
the franchise to women with suffi-
cient property qualifications. Will
signalize-. an outbreak such as Eng
Hand never knew before. The women
and the men who sympathize with
them will temporize In this matter no
longer"
This semi-revolutionary statement
was made today by Walter Il. Claren,
NJ p, the leading parliamentary
champion of the sufffagettes. The
statement followed the passage of the
franchise bill to its second reading In
the house of commons last night. This
temporary victory, however, was short
lived, for commons thereupon voted
| to send the bill to the committee of
the whole, instead of to a subsidiary
committee. In committee of the whole
the bill can not be taken up for pas
sage without the approval of Premier
Asquith, who is hostile to the mem
bers and who will see to 1t that 1t
is not called out at this session.
1t was stated at the headquarters
of the suffragettes movement today
that the women would wait a brief
time to see whether Asquith intends
to yield to what they say is popular
demand for, the passage of the bill.
But II he refuses, you may be sure
we will resort to violence, and vio-
lence of a nature that will make our
former outbreak seem tame. We are
militant suffragettes," the women de-
clare. because we can not get what
we demand peacefully"
The Shackleton bill provided that
women with property, together with
women who already vote in municipal
elections. may vote in parliamentary

Laws to be passed at the next ses-
sion of congress providing for a more
rational production and distribution
OF public documents will save millions
of dollars TO the government. The
printing investigation commission, of
which Senator Smoot Is chairman, has
discovered that the antique laws now
in force have caused waste of tons
of expensive printed matter every
year.
The statute provides that each sem
ator and representative shall have a
certain number of copies of each doc
ument printed, with the result that
members have placed to their credit
great mass Of printed matter for
which they have no earthly use. In
the vaults under the house end of the
capitol the commission found 1,000,-
10 documents which members had
failed to distribute. Instead of thus
lhdiscriminately alloting pub, docs"
TO members II is proposed that each
member be given credit at the gov
ernment printing office, which he may
use to get such publications as are
desired by his constituents. Thus a
member from an agricultural district
could expend his entire credit for ag-
ricultural Yearbooks. while under
the present quota system he gets no
more OF these publications than does
the New York City member.
The commission has ascertained
that the average cost Of documents
distributed BY senator's during the last
hve years has been about $2,4oQ a

WILL FORTIFY
COAST ISLANDS
BY United Press Wire.

Berlin, July 13.-It is reported In
military circles that Germany Is forti-
flying the islands on the west coast
of Schlcswig- -Holstein, to prevent the
possibility of an invasion from the
North sea. 1t has just been learned
that during the secret maneuvers of
the combined army and fleet at the
island of Sylt last May troops were
rushed to the island to defend 1t
against an imaginary foe, while other
troops, acting with the fleet, acted as
the invading enemy. On bright
moonlight night the Invaders" land
ed without difficulty and crushlngly
defeated the defending" forces.
In view of the ease with which the
"enemy' invaded the fatherland, the
war Office has set aside several mil
lion francs to fortify the island.

Summer quiet has fallen upon

ington like a wet blanket while the
major members of the executive
branches are away doing business In
homeopathic installments, mixing
statecraft with tennis or gentleman
farming.
At the state, war and navy build
ing for instance, only subordinates re-
main. Secretary of War Dickinson
is sailing over the bounding billows
of the Pacific for the orient. He does
not expect to be back again at head
quarters before October. Secretary of
the Navy Meyer is In Hamilton, Mass
achusetts. Secretary Knox has

es the hands make hay from the cool
embrasure of his study window. His
chief method of exercise is playing
billiards with his family.
But 'tis a hot day that brings no.
body any good. While the cabinet
members are away the seconds in
command have az free hand In pre-
siding over the operations of the de-
partments. Those who did all the
out getting any credit for it have a
chance to sign their names to official
documents as acting secretaries" and
to see their names In the public press
In the same capacity.
The official summer begins at the
state department when second assist
ant Secretary -Adee gets home from
his bicycle trip in France. For years
his going heralded the coming of
spring and his coming meant that a
new order was to prevail in the de-

In studying the question whether
the government is now printing too
large editions of its publications, the
commission found that the depart
ments and Independent Offices of the
government returned to the superin-
tendent of documents in the five
years 1905-'09, inclusive, total of
2,620,596 documents which they could
not distribute, and in addition now
have on hand vast accumulations of
other publications tnat sooner or la
ter will have to be sent to the su-
perintendent of documents and thence
to the waste paper pile. The joint
committee on printing was called up
on this year to authorize the sale of
waste paper of more than 900, 900
useless or obsolete documents that
had been unloaded on the superin-
tendent of documents by other
branches of the government.
Another cause of the excess i'm gov
ernment publications is in their dupli-
cate distribution of libraries by the
superintendent of documents, the de-
partments and by members of con-
gress. The commission has made a
compilation of the reports of the su-
perntendent of documents showing
that in the last Is years he has dis
tributed a total of 7,906.S92 govern
ment publications to the libraries
throughout the country of which
5,592,909 went to designated deposit
tory libraries, 1,636,O91 to misccl-
lsneous libraries and 677,S12 to geol-
ogical depository Libraries. In the
same fifteen years the superintendent
of documents has had returned from
these Libraries a total of 1,579,164
documents or an average of more than
100000 year. This return of docu-
ments discarded by Libraries is rapid
ly increasing as the reports show that
in the last three years the superin-
tendent of documents has received
754,367 documents on which the gov
ernment has had to pay double pos
tage in addition to the enormous ex-
pense of printing and then dispose
of them as waste paper.
The commission ascertained that
the departments have nine separate
engraving and lithographing plants
in operation, not including the bureau
of engraving and printing of the
treasury department. These nine
plants were operated at a cost of
S34S,271 last year. In addition to
this the total awards of outside es-
Establishments for engraving and litho-
graphing for the government amount
ed to $317664, making a total of
665.9S6 expended by the government
for engraving and lithographing last
year, not including the work of the
bureau of engraving and printing
which is confined to printing currency
bank notes, stamps and the like. The
| commission Is now investigating the
| advisability of having more of the en-
craving and lthographing for the
government done in its own plants,
| some of which are equipped to pre-
form additional work.
