DIR. SHAW PROTESTS
ATTITUDE OF MEN

Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 29.-"Men
fail to consider us as human beings
or units of the commonwealth; we are
simply relations. They are logical when
they discuss problems where men are
concerned, but sentiment throws them
off their base when the subject OF
women is preached" declared DIR. An
ma Howard Shaw in an address before
the New Jersey Teachers Association
today.
DIR. Shaw said that states rights are
adjustable and predicted that The
same Southern vote that defeated the
Hobson bill in Congress last week be-
cause it interfered with states rights,
will forget that such thing existed
when the matter of granting franchise
to women comes before them"

of wholesale slaughter, which has
terribly strained the nerves of the
most hardened troops. The German
wave poured upon the rock of Russian
defence, in a ceaseless sequence of at

an eighth of the total German force
has persisted.
THE condition of the Austrians is
still more hopeless. and their retire
