GERMANY IS HURT.
Nation Feels Sighted When Fleet
Does Not Call.

Berlin, Nov. IS-A section of the Ger
man naval authorities are irrltated by
the American feet visiting France and
England and not calling at any German
port. Count Won Reventlow, the we'll
known naval critic. writes in the
Deutsche Tagess Zeitung;
From political standpoint the Ameri-
lean fleets avoidance of Germany cannot
but prove decidedly conspicuous. because
neither lack of ships or time can be
pleaded in explanation. Germany wants
nothing from the United States, and has
no reason. either material or sentimental,
10 run after America, but the lack in
regard to courtesy shown on this oc-
casiOn requires to be registered and WILL
IL is TO be hoped. teach a lesson TO that
regrettably large number of Germ9ns who
think that the proper attitude toward the
United States is one OF obsequious friend
ship, and with cap invariably in hand.
Perhaps the fleets avoidance OF Ger
man waters is due to the existing Ger
man-American economic difference. II
so. the warning is all the more neces-
sary that We should in no circumstance
give even the appearance OF running
after the Americans.

OF HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, Nov. 1S.-While both houses of
Parliament stormed within to-day. the
suffragettes stormed without. Repeated
assaults on the doors of the house and
continued demonstrations resulted in Ile
arrests. Following a meeting at Caxton
Han. the suffragettes made their raid on
the House of Commons
In order to comply with the police reg
ulations the suffragettes divided I'D into
number of minor deputations. each
composed of thirteen members. Mrs
Emmelne Pankhurst led the first de-
tachment 20 the attack on the House
Of Commons, the police doing everything
in their power 10 facilitate the progress
OF the women.
Other deputations followed al short IN
tervals. They found Parliament square
crowded mostly by men, among whom
were a number of American sailors
from the war ships, who viewed the
scene with puzzled amusement. But
there were also many women waiting
TO swell the ranks of the approaching
army. Many OF them were mere girls.

Public Opinion Changes.
It is realized on ali sides that Mr.. Bal
four's speech last year is having a wide
spread effect throughout the country.
There are signs that a rapid change n
public opinion is in progress. and that
the governments chances of obtaining A
working majority in the new House Of
commons are disappearing
In the House of Lords the Earl of
Crewe, secretary for India, announced
the governments plans. after which the
Earl OF Lansdowne caustiealiy said he
doubted that Parliamentary maneuver
had never been carried out with greater
cynicism. A Parliament, which had not
existed a year, and had received no
check, was TO be dissolved on the nre-
tense that the Lords had rejected the
veto bill, which had not even been pre-
sented TO them
There was general comment on the fact
that although John Redmond was pres
ont he did not speak in the debate. The
only Irish contribution 10 the Discus

marking on Mr.. Redmond's silence Ajr
