Letter to Committees.

In his letter to the two committees Sec
retary Daniels said:
THE records of the Navy Department
for last three years indicate that there is
an annual average of about $3.50 men
honorably discharged from the service
who do not re-enlist in the navy. but take
up civil pursuits. The greater proportion
of these men quit the service after only
one enlistment.
1T is believed that the legislation here
in proposed offers am inducemtnt which
will cause more of these experienced men
to remain longer in the regular service,
and that practically all of those who dc
not re-enlist in the navy will nevertheless
enlist in the naval reserve. In other
words, the number of men annually lost
to the service will be greatly reduced
Each enlistment in the navy saves the
government the cost of an outfit of cloth

SUFFRAGE DEFEAT
Majority Leader Predicts Mon
dell Resolution Will

DECLARES THE ISSUE is

Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge of New York

Defeat of the Mondell resolution for
woman suffrage by an amendment to

soon after the passage of the post Of

House Poll Shows Defeat.

We believe that the poll our repre-
sentatives have made of the member
ship of the House is absolutely accurate
because each member has been seen and
has either answered our inquiry as to
how he stood on the bill or has refused
to commit himself Those for it num-
Der l2S; those against it. 1873; those non
committal. 106.
One of our principal reasons for
taking this poll is to let the country
know exactly the situation. So many
wild statements have been put forward
by the various factions of the woman
suffragists that it seems there might
be danger of the country being misled
as to the real sentiment in the House
It is an old political device to try to
stampede legislatures by premature and
exaggerated claims Of strength

Strength Is Minimized.

This question is SO important and af-
fects the womanhood of the United States
SO vitality that we considered it absolutely
necessary to give the public and Congress
at this time an accurate statement of Just
how little strength can be mustered by
| the opposition.
This strength of the suffragist is all
the more minimized by the fact that most
of it comes from the eleven states which
have tho full or partial franchise for
women But. In this proposition to
amend the Constitution. there is wrap
ped up an unprecedented thing in our
history. That is the proposal to force
upon an element of the American popula-
ton the duty of the franchise when 80
per cent of that element of the popula-
ton is unwilling to have it.
Proposal Rejected by States.
Il venture to say that nothing ap-
preaching this has ever been advanced
in the halls of Congress. 1t is an in
disputable fact that 90 per cent of our
women are either actively organized
against the suffrage movement or are
unwilling to ask for or assume the ad-
ditional burden brought to them by the
franchise.
within the past sixty days the ques-
tiop was submitted to the voters of seven
states, and five of these refused to in
dorse it. Now ahe suffragists are ask
ing Congress to force ON the states the
very thing which many of those states
have said they did not want. There could
be nothing in sharper conflict with the
letter and spirit of this government
