GEORGE SUTTON MAY
SING IN OPERA AGAIN
Baritone of Ohev Sholom Has Of
fer From New York OPP
cratic Company

George Sutton, baritone, of this city,
is considering an offer from a New
York operate company to take part in
an opera to be produced early in No
vember. Mr.. Sutton has been in New
York for several weeks. He has also
received very tempting offer to re-
main in New York.
Mr.. Sutton has not yet accepted any
of the propositions He is a member
of the choir at Ohev Sholom Syna-
gogue, and 1t is understood will return
to Harrisburg before announcing his
decisions. Two seasons ago Mr.. Sut-
ton filled successfully a position with
the New York Operate Company.
When business declined the company
was taken off the road and Mr.. Sutton
resumed his local engagements. Re-
Gently, 1t is said, he has given several
tests of his voice, and If he decides
to I'LL the, New York engagements,
will have an opportunity for still
greater honors as a vocalist

The diplomatic corps excepting the
embassy of the United States accom-
panies the government to Bordeaux
American Ambassador Herrick has
decided to remain in Paris and this
course has been warmly commanded
by the Minister of Foreign Affairs be-
cause the representative of the most
neutral government, will be able,
should the occasion arise, to serve the
French as well as his own people.
Mr.. Herrick's reasons for remain
ing, in substance, are that he can bet
ter look after the several thousand
Americans who stay in Paris. They
are principally permanent residents in
business or persons of moderate
means unable to leave conveniently.
He also feels that he can better pro-
tect American business interests
among them several American banks
and banking agencies with deposits of
Americans. These would have trans
ferred their cash elsewhere had not
the ambassador remained.
Another reason that determined Mr..
Herrick to stay was the possibility
that he might, as the representative
of the United States serve humane in
terests. regardless Of any belligerent
and express the views of feeling of
the American government and people.
The American minister has sent ].
w Garrett, minister of Argentina,
Louis A. Suesdorf, Jr., of New York,
third secretary of the embassy, and
Captain Parker military attache to be
with the French government at Bor-
deaux with the approval of Mr..
Bryan.
The American embassy is now
charged with British, Russian, Japa-
nese, Servian. German and Austrian
affairs in Paris.
Two Trains Reserved
Two trains reserved for the Pres
ident and the members of the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies left for Bor-
deaux this afternoon. Fifteen Judges
of the Court of Session also will be
transferred to the provisional capital
of France.
In addition to the American ambas-
sador, the Swiss minister also has de-
cided to remain in Paris.
The population of the capital is
taking the departure of the heads of
the government calmly. recognizing
that it is a matter of prudence.
Although the city generally is pla-
cid, the people feel keenly the ap-
proach of the German army and they
are rapidly preparing for whatever
may happen. Many families left for
the west to-day taking with them
household necessities. These refugees
from the capital have been forced to
make very long detours because the
railroads are encumbered with milf
tary trains.
The railroad lines out of Paris to the
north have virtually ceased running
trains owing to fears of possible raids
by German cavalry.

WORKERS
AFTER FARMER VOTE
Harrisburg Enthusiasts Go to Will
liams Grove; Mrs. Jones
Makes a Speech

More than a score of Harrisburg
suffragists, headed by Mrs. Mabel
Cronise Jones, president of the Wo-
mems Suffrage Association of Central
Pennsylvania, this morning took the
train to the Grangers' Picnic grounds
at Williams Grove.
Every one in the party is an en-
thusiastic worker in the votes for
women cause and every one went to
the picnic determined to bring more
enthusiasts into the fold. During the
sisted the Carlisle suffrage workers,
who have a booth at the grove, to dis
tribute suffrage emblems to the
crowds. Yellow fans handed out to the
farmers were in evidence everywhere.
Mrs. Jones was one of the speakers
of the afternoon, making her address
between the speeches of DIR. Brum-
baugh and Secretary of Internal Af-
fairs Houck.
Mrs. Jones' Speech
Mrs. Jones said that the States
adopting< woman suffrage have all
been contiguous to suffrage territory;
that Wyoming, the first suffrage State,
Is bOunueu on IUe EOuIn DN
and Colorado, after looking across the
border for some years, seeing that
Wyoming had the lowest percentage of
divorce of any State in the Union, and
that the viewpoint of the women in
matters legislative was helpful to the
home and to the interests of the child
adopted it also; Utah and Idaho, bor-
defing these two States, looked across
their borders and were the next to
adopt suffrage; the other full suffrage
States, Washington, Oregon, Califor-
mia, Arizona and Kansas, all touched
suffrage territory; that they were so
situated as to be able to watch the
workings of woman suffrage, and had
it been a failure they would never
have adopted it.
THE majority of people," Mrs,
Jones went on, ARE at heart conser-
vatives and they object to anything
that is not in accordance with the
established order of things Those
who are anti-suffragists to-day, had
they lived in the early part of the last
century, would have opposed giving
women any privileges in the public
libaries; they would have objected
to womens learning the alphabet lest
