WOMEN HAVE A
 LONG BLACK LIST Public Men Opposed To Granting Vote To Women Are To Be De.
 feated if Possible.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-The National Woman's Suffrage Association today issued a blacklist of public men who are to be defeated if the members of the association can effect their downfall because the men named have opposed the women who desire the right to vote.
 The list includes Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts; Senator Gore, of Ok lahoma; Senator Root, of New York, and Senator Shively, of Indiana. Rep resentatives Oscar Underwood and Republican Floor Leader Mann are also on the black list and the women hope to defeat the entire list of way ward legislators. All of the men list ed are up for re rejection at this com ing fall election with the exception of Senator Lodge.
 The women will organize in every state and will endeavor to have hus- bands, fathers, brothers and sweet hearts vote against the men who do not think that women should be en- trusted with the ballot. They will hold street meetings and parades.

RED GROSS FACES
 A GIGANTIC TASK
Great Armies of Europe At War Make Huge Field Force
 Necessary.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Not since the Red Cross Society was organized has that organization been face to face with so great task as that which confronts 1t today in the war ridden countries of Europe. But the Red Cross is rising to the test and already thousands of dollars are pour ing into its treasury daily for the work of mercy that it has already set under way to lessen as much as possible the suffering that will follow the clash of the armies of the great European powers.
 In addition to it's work on the bat tlefelds the Red Cross will be ex- pected to have men and means of transportation available for the re- moval of the sick and wounded from field to base hospitals, to provide the medical and nursing forces that will be needed to carry it's work forward, and the providing of countless oth- CT things which will be needed to ease suffering and make the lot of the wounded soldier more comforta- ble. There must be central bureaus of medicine, nursing, material, and intelligence, and each must be in charge of an experienced person with an ample force of capable assistants.
 Now, at time when so many peo- pie in all parts of the world are contributing to the various Red Cross war funds, it is of interest to know what this great organization will do with those funds. First of all it must pay the expenses of its huge field force which will operate with all the armies. It must pay for its great stores of medicines and medi- cal supplies and hospital equipment. it must support service of intelli- gence with which friends and rela- tives can communicate to ascertain the fate or wherabouts of soldiers in the field, and 1t must organize and have in efficient working order great supply depots, easy of reach and from which can be instantly drawn the ar ticles that are needed in hospital work on so gigantic g scale e that which now faces the Red Cross.

CARDINAL MAFF|
 MAY BE POPE
Believed To Have Best Chance-Only Italian Can Be Elected, As They
 Control College.

ROME, Aug. 31.-The College of Cardinals opened its sessions today in the Vatican and none of the mem- bers of the Sacred College will leave the room until Pope is elected. Cardinal F. Maffi, of Pisa, an Italian. is believed to have the best chance for election, while Cardinal Andread Ferrari of Rome, and Cardinal P. Gasparri, also of Rome, are said to have a chance of election, as has al- so Cardinal Serantini, all of them being Italians.
 It is now certain that none but an Italian will be made Pope, as the Italians have complete control of the College of Cardinals. The American cardinals are expected here in few days and will enter the conclave if the election has not been made up on their arrival.

British AeropIanes Retreat.

LONDON, Aug. S1.-The cores pondent of the London Times reports witnessing the retreat of the British aeroplane division of forty machines all of them taking flight at one time to prevent capture by the Ger mans. The machines made a won derful sight all in the air at once and disappearing like a flock of birds in the rear of the French army.
 Turkey To Join Germans.
 The Turkish government is expect ed to join the German and Austrian governments in the present war with. in twenty-four hours. Foreign Min ister Sir Edward Grey has notified the Sultan that if the Turks join Ger many in this conflict they will sign their own death warrant, as the al lies will crowd them off the face of the earth, and will not only destroy continental Turkey, but will wipe out all Turkish rule in Asia and Africa.
 Believed Threat Is In Vain.
 It is believed here that the threat of the English government to Tur- key will be in vain, as the Turkish foreign minister has turned a deaf ear to the English ambassadors.
 Mohammedans To Raise.
 The government has been advised that the Mohammedan populations of India, Egypt, Africa and those in Southwestern Europe are ready to turn upon the white men.
 Japanese To Help British.
 The Japanese government has been asked to prepare an army of 500.000 men for use against the Turks and Germans according to an unofficial rumor current in London. The troops are to be used in India If necessary and some are to be sent to southern France. where an army of 100000 men will be organized for operation against the Germans.

WOULD BE HEAVY
 LOSS 10 SEATTLE
Canadian Government Is Aiding Prince Rupert To Capture Fish
 Business of the North.

Prince Rupert threatens to super sede Seattle as the market of the fresh fish products of northern wa ters and thereby derive the benefits of the trade which is now handled by the Puget Sound dealers. The pro- vincial fisheries department of Brit ish Columbia, aided by the Domin- ion government, are making strenu. ous efforts to capture the trade for the Grand Trunk railway.
 Special inducements are being of- fered American fishermen to market their catches in the northern Canadi. an city. The government has remov- ed all restrictions and American hal ibut boats are now permitted to buy herring bait at all British Columbia ports. The duty on distillate, which amounts to 1-2 cents gallon, has fishing boats.
 The northern fresh fish business is a big industry and should Prince Rupert be successful in capturing the trade it will mean loss of $2,00O, ,000 annually to Seattle. The Canadian government is subsidizing cold stor- age plants at Prince Rupert and the Grand Trunk railroad has ordered special refrigerator cars to handle the business.
 The fishermen themselves while in clined to withdraw their trade from Seattle because of the belief that they have been robbed in the past by the dealers. fear to make the change. There is a strong possibility that the Republicans may come into pow CT two years hence and they might again impose the duties on fisheries products which would make 1t difi- cult for the Canadian dealers to find a market for the fish.

Germans Near Amiens.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The German army is within ten miles of the city of Amiens, about half way from the Belgium border to Paris and nothing can stop them. The French have fought necessarily, endeavoring to check the German advance, but the weight of numbers and the terrific work of the Maxim machine guns have forced the French to fall back in disorder.

Paris Buildings Demolished.
 PARIS, Aug. 31.-The war minister yesterday ordered the troops to de- molish all buildings in the way of the fire from the Paris forts and ex- plosives were used to destroy them. The buildings were knocked down to give a clear field for the fire from the forts upon the Germans when they attempt to take Paris.
 Pushing Siege Preparations.
 T..e war department is making ev- cry possible effort to have the city prepared for the coming siege. Large stores of food, ammunition, big guns and men are being brought here from the south, while the non-combatants are being sent towards the Spanish border, where it is expected they will be safe.
 The French army on the German border has been hopelessly broken by the superior German force and has been cut in two. One part of the army has been forced towards Havre while the other has been fore ed upon Rheims.
 Paris Garrison Not Be Large.
 The war minister has announced that the garrison of Paris will not be very large, as the big forts are expected to hold the Germans out of the city indefinitely while the men are formed into new armies to at- tack the flank of the Germans. Germans Must Still sombard Numer-
 ous Cities.
 The German troops will have to Lombard numerous cities before they can attempt to lay siege to Pa lis, for if they endeavor to pass the fortified cities with the large gar risons they will leave their rear open to attack.
 Germans Seventy Miles From Paris
 The German advance is at the city of Lafere, which Is only 70 miles from Paris. Some reports say that the Germans have taken the city, while the war office claims that the town is being held by the French, who have repulsed the Germans with heavy losses.

but are fighting with the French from one end of the line to the other; here a few Frenchmen, then a few English with no organization. Onslaught Prevents Reforming Lines.
 The Germans continue their on slaught and have not given the al lies an opportunity to reform their lines and reorganize for an effective resistance.
 Germans Have Powerful Siege Guns.
 LONDON, Aug. 31-The German siege guns used to reduce the forts at Namur were the most powerful guns ever used in warfare. The big 24-inch Krupp Howitzers, requiring thirty horses to place them in posi- tion, were outside the range of the guns in the Belgian forts and threw shells into the forts while the gar rlson was helpless.
 Belgian Shells Fell Short.
 The Belgians made every effort to reach the German siege guns, but their guns were less powerful and the shells fell short each time.
 Forts Demolished.
 Thousands of shells were dropped into the forts by the Germans, who had detailed maps of the ground and of the forts and who were able, while keeping out of range, to send death and destruction into the we'll built forts.
 BeIgians Refused To Give Up.
 The garrison in the forts refused to surrender until the forts had been demolished and the Germans made an assault. The Belgians retreated only because the big and little guns had been dismounted and the forts broken. The Germans used thirty complete batteries of siege guns.

 Call for English Volunteers.
 LONDON, Aug 31.-The largest public meeting ever held in London was staged in Hyde Park yesterday when many public men addressed the people, calling upon the Englishmen to enlist in the army, as the British Empire is in grave danger.
 Lord Roberts Appeals for Soldiers.
 Lord Roberts made personal ap- peal to the women of the British Elm pire to send their sons and husbands to the army. The hero of the South African war said during his address that this is no time to mince words. The empire is in great danger and few of you realize how great is the danger The women should not stand in the way of their husbands and sons doing their duty to their native country.
