SUFFRAGISTS FRILL
BOOTHS AT PRIMARY
Feminine Touches Abound at
Equal Franchise Society
BallOting.

Suffragists have always promised
that when women voted all kinds OF
nice little feminine touches would ap-
pear i'm the polling places. which are
now so bare and rough and rude. The
truth Of this was shown at the Demo-
cratic primary which the Equal Fran
chse Society held yesterday at East
37th st. The ballot boxes into which
the women thrust their votes for Mar
tin A. Glynn or for John A. Hennessy
were two gilt-and-white hat boxes, tied
with blue ribbon. They came from the
millinery store next door
Mrs. John O'Hara Cosgrave took
charge of the primary, assisted by Mrs.
Howard Mansfield. president of the
Equal Franchise Society. There was
some delay in getting started, due to g
doubt which seemed to disturb most
of the voters when they were asked 10
register their names.
"Dear mel" each one of them muir

An election will be held at the same

King announced yesterday that, in spite
of all this political activity, the society
is not turning into political organiza-
ton. She wanted this understood. she
said. because she had just received a
long letter from well known member
of the New York bar, who had read in
The Tribune that the Equal Franchise
Society held caucus last week, and

GERMANY OFFERS
TUNIS TO ITALY
But Italian Papers Say 1t Will
Take More than That to
Win Her Support.
fBy Cable 10 The Tribun. !

Rome, Dec. 1.-The German govern
ment apparently has not yet despaired
Of seeing Italy rise TO its well baited
hook, but Italian papers say it will take
more to draw Italy back into the Ger
man net than the latest snare spread
for her. These remarks refer to an
article in the "Deutsche Tages-Zeitung"
inviting Italy to step in and take over
Tunis, now that she has the chance.
The paper points out that, reinforced
by the Turkish fleet and the Austrian
navy. the Italian feet would easily be
a match for the Anglo-French squad
ron in the Mediterranean, and an ener-
getic action in common would in
evitably result in the quasi-automatic
acquisition of Tunis by Italy-an ac-
quisition which would be as legitimate
in law as by reason of the predomi-
nence of the Italian element in Tunis.
A little reflection, concludes the
tempter, should suffice to convince
Italy that all she needs is the decision
to do and dare. The result would be
as easy to obtain as it would be profit
able and farreaching.
In quoting this article, Italian papers
declare there is good authority for as
serting that it undoubtedly reflects
Wilhelmstrasse ideas, and was, indeed,
directly inspired by the German For
eign Office.

husband, Eugene Newman, was shot
dead by her father, William V. Cleary,
former Town Clerk of Haverstraw, has
not seen her father since his arrest.
1t was his wish that she stay away
from the Jail.
Frank Comesky, counsel TO Cleary,

tween the girl and her father were
strained.
"Mr. Cleary's daughter loves her
father" declared Lawyer Comesky,
"and will stand by him. She will be
at the trial but we are not certain
whether we shall call her"

TURKEY OVERRUN
BY BRICAND BANDS

mans Encourage Turks
to Rob Europeans.
IBy Cable TO The Tribune. J

Paris. Dec. 1.-The war has brought
about an appalling state of affairs in
the Ottoman Empire. The Turks ap-
pear to have become everywhere
thieves and brigands at the expense
Of the subjects of the allied nations.
"Le Temps" gives a melancholy pict-
ure of conditions in Syria. All steam
ers and boats at Beirut have. been
sunk to prevent the Allies eventually
using them. Even a German steamer
which brought cargo OF dynamite ex-
plosives suffered the same fate. The
only boat which escaped was an Aus
trian ship. which preferred to risk
capture and started just as the Turks
were about to scuttle her.
An Italian packet which appeared in
sight one evening caused a general
panic. Under the belief that it was a
hostile warship, the Governor imme-
diately ordered special train to leave,
declaring no would burn the city
rather than let il fall into French or
British hands.
All persons leaving Beirut are
searched and allowed TO take away only
So. any other sum they may have being
confscated as war tax.
At Jaffa all. Europeans Of promi-
uence were imprisoned. Jafa is now
like a dead city. The able-bodied pop
ulation has been modified and all pro-
visions requisitioned.
Throughout the empire Turks are en-
couraged by Germans to indulge in
every sort of brigandage. 1t appears
as if in a very short time the fruits
of the laborious work of generations of
European colonists will pass into the
possession of bands Of robbers COM
posed of mixed government of Turks
and Germans.

MIR. TAFT'S TALK
STIRS AUSTRALIA
Melbourne Paper Fears
u. S. Has Abandoned
Monroe Doctrine.

Melbourne, Dec. 1.-The Melbourne
Age" referring to the views of former
President Taft concerning the Mon
Zoe Doctrine expressed recently at
Montclsir, n. j., and particularly his
statement that the United States
would not be compelled by the terms
OF the doctrine to intervene II Canada
should be attacked by Germany, has
this to say:
''lf this Interpretation represents the
views of the government of the United
States, an event of first rate import
ance to the entire civilized world has
taken place. If the Wilson govern
ment shares Mr.. Taft's opinion, il is
very clear that Monroeism is a thing
has abdicated the position she has
been jealously guarding for period
extending upward of eighty years"
In his address at Montclair on Fri
day night eX-President Taft said that.
while the landing of troops in Canada
by enemies of Great Britain would
not constitute a violation of the Mon
roe Doctrine, any effort 10 establish
new form of government in case OF
victory would violate that policy.
"All that the Monroe Doctrine would
consistently require Of US would be TO
insist that, when the war is over, II
Germany were successful, she could
not take over the territory of Canada
and overthrow her government and
establish her own there, or take any
oppressive measures which would have
a similar effect" he added. "But we
would not object to her eXacting an
inGemity il she were the victor"

On Belgian Frontier name Of place
Asleted BY censor), Dec 1.-The Ger

feeling very acutely the terrible eff
fects of winter weather. disease and
shortage of food. Practically no win
fer quarters have been provided for the
troops. who are now exposed TO the
rigors Of a Flanders winter.
The Germans have drawn a military
Gordon round the Dutch Belgian from

Of military happenings or of the con-

train and tram communications be-
tween Holland and Belgium have been
suspended, and notices have been post

70 penetrate the German line will be
shot on sight. The only ones who now
cross the Dutch frontier are German
deserters, who continue TO gain the
friendly soil of Holland in daily in
ereasing numbers. Many of these de-
serters reached Dutch territory by way
Of Sluis and Eede. Numbers of these
were on frontier outpost duty.
The flooding of Flanders by the Bel
gians. while it checked the German ad-
vance. also had a disastrous effect on
the health Of the German troops.
Pneumonia, rheumatism and typhoid
have laid hold of the unwounded sol
diers of the Kaiser's army, and the

A Belgian who escaped across the
frontier into Holland few days age

Kingston, Ont, Dec. i.-Quartered
at Fort Henry are five hundred prison
ers of war, who have been gathered
from all parts of the Province of On

more than one hundred are Turks.
Because of the steady increase the
guard has been enlarged and machine
guns have been added to the defence OF
the place. The largest number of prls-
oners are Germans. One of the Turk
ish prisoners, MANNED Selim, died on
Sunday, and the Turkish funeral SER

SUBMARINE MAKERS
State Department Investigating
Building of Boats for
Other Countries.
From Tho Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE manufact-
ure of naval armament, which might
involve the neutrality Of the United
States, is being kept under scrutiny of
the State Department, according to a
statement made to-day by Secretary
Bryan. The Secretary said that repre-
sentations as to the construction OF sub
marines for foreign belligerent gov
ernments had been investigated by the
department and found to be erroneous.
Inquiry had not revealed any work of
any kind being done on foreign war
craft.
Naval vessels to be used for war pur-
poses, Mr.. Bryan said, were in diff
ferent category from other war sup
plies, such as powder and guns. He In
dicated that it was the purpose Of the
State Department to be on the watch
for the sale Of such vessels and TO in
vestigate all reports that they were un-
der construction.
The department takes the attitude
that the question whether the sale and
shipment of submarines in parts is a
violation of neutrality is one that will
not be decided until it arises.
