JOINT MANEUVERS ON
 LONG ISLAND SOUND
Naval and Coast Defense Exercises to
 Begin August 8.

New York, July 2s--Arrangements for joint naval and coast defense ex- ercises between the North Atlantic fleet and the coast defenses of Long Island Sound, to be held at the east ern entrance of Long Island, August to g, were announced to-day at the headQuarters of the eastern depart ment of the United States army, Gov ernor's Island.
 The exercises agreed upon by the navy and war department, are the first of their kind since 1905. They are not to be a contest, as no decision will be announced as to supremacy of either land or water forces. Their purpose in so far as the army is con- cerned, is a development of the uses of the various clements of the coast defenses, such as the proper handling of search1ights, battle, fire and mine commands. For the navy, Rear Ad- miral Badger has prepared a schedule of exercises for the fleet to harmon ize with the purposes of the army.

"BETTER NAKED,"
 SAYS PREACHER OF
 WOMEN'S CLOTHES
Editor of Christian Advo- cate Believes Suggestive Attire Will Gall Down Gods Wrath"

Spartanburg, S.. C., July 26-Better that women should go entirely naked than. dress in the suggestive fashion now popular is the proposal made by the Rev. Stephen A. Nettles, editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, in an editorial on ''sensuaIity in women's Dress.''
 MT. Kettles declares that unless there is change Gods whitening destruc- tion Will be brought on our country"
 'EIt seems" MT. Kettles says, that many women love to display their form It has gone so far that in some cities laws have been passed forbidding the appearance of women upon the streets in certain styles of dress.
 Really, we believe it would be far better morally for the woman to fol- low the custom of many African tribes, who are robed in nothing more than beads, than to wear the suggestive dresses many are now adorning their bodies with.
 We believe that one of the sources of this degeneracy of modesty in our women is found in the bathing cus- toms and costumes
 Let the press and the pulpit and the councils and the State LegisIatur es and the truly modest women of our land do all in their power to avert the destruction being called down upon our country by these devdIish customs and costumes

ENGINEER HARMON
 ON ROAD AGAIN IN
 RUN OUT OF HERE

Engineer John Harmon, who ran the i1I-fated superheater. 1888 the day be- fore Engineer Doherty handled it, and met with the Stamford accident, has been re-instated after his suspension because he ran by a block signal at Norwa1k the day before the wreck. Harmon claimed that 1888 ran stiffly and that he could not bring his train to a stop as quickly as he should Superintendent woodward has been in- vestigat ting. Harmon does not loose his pay but will draw full compensa- ton for the time he was under suspen- sion pending reinstatement. He is run ming out of Bridgeport now.
 Apparently the roads officials plac- ed credence in what Harmon said about the engine or they would not have excused his running by the board.

ATTRACTIONS
 1.-THE THEATRES
EMPIRE

In a celebrated case several years ago, an eloquent Californian, argued internationally that the husband, the father or the son, in averaging deeds against the women, should be exon erated under tsthe unwrftten law It was in an application of the spirit of an ancient proceeding, but the cur rent courts, not inclined to sertinen- talize, did not regard it with great favor. The fact is, however, that in jury trials ''the unwritten law has frequently freed the offenders, despite all legal precedent to the contrary. A fitting example of this is presented in "The Ne'er to Return Road,'' in which a young husband is sentenced for life for being implicated in the death of his wife's lover. Under the circumstances, sentiment might. argue for his freedom; but the law, stern and inexorable, calls for him to serve for 1ife-a matter that he later takes in his own hands, making his escape. This dangerous drift from ''The Ne'er to Return Road Is thrilling, telling, picturesque and pathetic. It is the feature picture at this theater today together with the picture of the Eagles' parade.

CONNECTICUT SUFFRACISTS--
 NEWS OF THEIR ACTIVITIES

Committee of the House similar to
 that of the Senate
 The woman to whom these success
 ses are chiefly due is Miss Alice Paul
 the chairman of the Congressional Committee of the National-American
 Woman Suffrage Association. Miss
 Paul is quite a young woman, scarce 1y more than a girl, but her life al-
 ready has included much that is strenuous and much that required
 strength, fortitude and courage. She is 8 graduate of Swarthmore of the year 1905, and has also the M. A. and
 the P.D. degree of the University
 of Pennsylvania For her doctors degree she took part of her studies in
 the English universities of London and Birmingham, and while in Eng land in the years between 1907 and 191O she Joined in the English suf- frage movement that is led by Mrs and Miss Pankhurst. These were the early days of miIitancy when the government was putting women in jail not for any injuries inflicted on person or property but for the techni- cal offence of resisting the police. an offence which is now condoned as trivial and unworthy of serious con sideration in the light of recent de- velopments. Most of the trouble in those days arose out of the insistence| of the women on the constitutional T1SnL or peI1C1Onlng the n1SmDorS or the Cabinet and especially the Prime Minister as the representative of the King. This right is never refused to voters who are usually received with the greatest readiness and cour- tesy. It was consistently refused to the women, and Miss Paul was ar rested seven times and served three jail sentences for her share in the demonstrations made by the women against this injustice.
 The courage and persistence shown by Miss Paul during her English ex- periences are finding an outlet in her determined work for the constitution al amendment in this country. Miss Paul is not minded to spend all her life in getting votes for women. She wants the vote a tool in order to engage in social work towards which her education was directed and she sees in Federal action the most eco nonnical and the quickest path to the desired goal. Concentration of ef- fort on the part of Suffragists now, it is her opinion, can effect for the whole of the United States what it would take an equal effort to obtain in a single State. On this ground she urges the cooperation of all suf- fragists in all the States of the Un- ion"

 That marvellous change has come | over Washington, the whole District of Columbia and the States that abut upon it in regard to woman suffrage and that the cause is advancing by leaps and bounds in this part of the country was the first report made by the Press Secretary of the Connecti- cut Woman Suffrage Association who has been sent by the Association to Washington. The chief mission of the Press Secretary was to report upon the progress that has been made so far by the woman suffrage amend ment to the United States Constitu- ton and its possible or probable chances of passing the two Houses of Congress. At the present moment the amendment is awaiting the action of the Senate. In both Houses the first bill introduced after the convening of Congress in extra session was bill for the amendment of the Constitution by the granting of votes to women. The Senate bill was referred to the Committee on Woman Suffrage, and the first triumph of the Suffra gists was the reorganization of this committee, places on which have hitherto been mere sinecures, on a working basis, under the chairmanship of a man who was determined to give the women fair chance.

It was pointed out that the Senate had to be in session, that it could adjourn for three days and that the members of the Committee were peculiarly free to give their minds to the question of Votes for Women while the House was wrestling with the tariff sched- ules. Pressure from all the United States was brought to bear on the Senators. and the result was that two days were allotted to the hearing of the advocates and opponents of wo- man suffrage. Similar. pressure re- suited in the favorable report of the amendment to the Senate, and the suuffragists are now bringing pressure to bear on the Committee of rules of the House of Representatives to get that committee to hold hearings on the question of the desirability of the appointment of a Woman Suffrage
