Of
WOMEN'S CLUBS
At CHICAGO
DELEGATES ARE ARRIVING FOR
ANNUAL SESSION
Suffrage Will Be Fully Discussed by
the Delegates Who Represent
One Million Women
(By Associated Press \

Chicago, June 8. delegates are
arriving for the annual conference
of the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs. The question of en-
dorsement of woman suffrage has
increased in Importance and was in
formally discussed today The con-
ference begins tomorrow.
The delegates are representa-
tive of more than one million wom-
en-. Boy scouts assisted the mem
bers of the transportation committee
in caring for the baggage of the
women as they arrived at the differ
ent railway stations, and conducted
parties to the various hotels to which
they were assigned. Jane Addams
will be one of the speakers; Mrs Ell
la Flagg Young is on the program to
talk on Education in a Democ-
racy;' Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
will speak on 1.-The World Progress
of Women" and Clifford Pinchot
will have something to say about
Conservatism A number of bril-
liant social affairs will take place
during the convention, one of these
being the annual dinner of the Pho
neers A list of the activities of the
Federation would cover most of the
big problems of the day. Few per-
sons realize what a tremendous re-
suit organized club effort is accom-
! plishing For example, during the
| past two years the matter of sex hy-
gicnc was introduced into the nor
NAL schools of the country. In every
State employers liability bills have
been furthered Technical training
for boys and girls on leaving school
was vigorously advocated. The ap-
pointment of women inspectors in
all ports of entry received especial
attention. The efforts to aid families
of convicts through the result of
prison labor, the establishment of
medical inspection in the schools,
the enforcement Of the pure food
and drug act and the passage of uni
form marriage and divorce laws are
measures pushed effectively during
the reign of the present president of
the federation, Mrs Percy V. Pen
nypacker. One matter which this
convention is expected to give atten-
tion to is the wearing of garments
that cover everything and conceal
nothing" skirts that hinder loco
notion and Partisan styles that
degrade the sense of deCency, taste
and comfort of the American wom-
an. Letters on dress reform have
previously been sent out to the pres
idents of all clubs connected with
the general Federation and resolu-
tions on the subject will be intro
duced at the sessions. Six automo-
bile tours have been arranged, and
the many delegates will have an op-
portunity to become acquainted with
the beauties and points Of interest
in Chicago

HOW VERA CRUZ WAS
CAPTURED BY U. S.
Continued from Yesterday.

The Chester arrived from Tam
pico at II midnight the Dist. She
entered harbor with all lights
screened and cleared for action, with
marines stationed along deck for
rifle fire. She promptly took up
moorings in assigned position off
Sanitary Pier and was signalled,
Well done Both commanding Of
ficers reported on board the Prairie,
received instructions as to disposi-
tion of our forces and general in
structions relative to gunfire from
their ships. 1t was not desired to
cause any more destruction of prop
erty than was necessary to protect
our men ashore, and buildings were
to be fired upon only when it was
ascertained that they We're being
used by the MeXcans as defensive
positions from which they directed
fire upon our troops. This plan was
most effectively and efficiently car
ried out by the commanding officers
Of all three ships and not a build
ing was fired into unnecessarily.
The Chester was moored in shore
nearest to the firing and at day
break rifle firing was directed from
small tugs and hargcs near No. 3
breakwater' This was returned with
rifle fire but had to be silenced by a
3-inch gun. Later firing from a
number of points in this section of
the city was located and both 3-inch
and 5-inch guns of the Chester had
to be used to silence it.
Soon after the final advance of
the landing forces into the city
which commenced about $50 a. m,
OF the 22nd the Second regiment,
New Hampshire, South Carolina,
Vermont and New Jersey, marched
across the open space between the
light house and the Naval Academy
passing to the southwark. When our
men met with a heavy fire most of
them dropped prone on the ground
or against lower walls of the Naval
school and instantly the guns of the
Chester, Prairie and San Francisco
opened fire. The firing was very ae-
curate, directly over the heads of
our men, and in short space of
time the whole second story of this
building, about 500 feet front, was
a wreck, not a shot missing its mark
The work of these three vessels,
Chester, Commander Moffett; Prai
rie, Commander Stickney; San Fran
cisco, Commander Harrison, in sup
porting our troops on shore was
most effective and is deserving of
special praise. Iniative and clear
judgment was required on the part
of the commanding officers and the
results showed in a striking manner
the efficiency of the ships under
their commands The Chester being
in the most forward position did
most of the firing and received a
greater number of hits. The San
Francisco and Prairie were hit by
rifle fire many times, over a hun
dred shots hit the Chester. Two men
on the Chester and one on the Prai-
rie were wounded
"The Esperanza. IN charge Of
Lieutenant Fletcher, lying between
the Chester and Prairie, was struck
thirty-one times and one man of the
crew slightly wounded. All refugees
were placed in a position of safety
and none were injured"

Again Tenstrike is to be without

ding adieu to Tenstrike. Editor Gus

continued since, with the exception
of about year and a half when 1t
was discontinued for the lack OF

publication of the Tribune was re-
sumed upon solicitation of the bust
ness men and people in general WHO
promised generous support. Some
have stood by theiS promises, others
have not. Job printing has even
gone out of town when the same
work could have been g done. The
Tribune has been hampered sinss many
other ways, and we have concluded
that "a newspaper is little apprec1-
ated in Tenstrike, conseQ uently NE

GERMAN PLANS ARE
CHECKED BY BRITISH

London, Aug. 31.-That the Ger
mans operating in Western Belgium
had planned to occupy the Belgian
coast cities and thus hamper the
work of the British in keeping short
lines of communication open across
the channel, but they have failed to
accomplish their object, is the posi-
ton taken by the war office.
The reason for failure has been the
inability to detach enough infantry to
occupy the French department of Pas
de Calais. The German cavalry have
raided through great section of the
country and have moved south from
Ostend all along the coast. But they
have been in detached parties and re-
ports received here indicate that no
German infantry has been reported
anywhere near the coast.
The occupation of Ostend by Brit
ish marines was chiefly responsible
for the failure of the German move
ment. The German cavalry had pene.
trated the outskirts of the city and
were reported in force twelve miles
away when the British entered the
town and mounted their rapid fire
guns to command every approach to
the city.

London, Aug. 31.-England is en-
ragged over the details of the destruc-
ion of Louvain. The reported com.
2lete wip;ng out of the entire city has
greatly exercised all high government
officials and following a conference
with Premier Asquith the official
press bureau issued a lengthy denun-

"The destruction of this ancient
city was unpardonabley' said the blu.

The German contention that it was
an act justified by war and a proper
reprisal because the inhabitants had
fired on German troops is utterly
without warrant. When Louvain was
surrendered to the Germans everyone
gave up their arms. Even the civil
guard was disarmed by order of the
