DENIES COLORADO
SUFFRAGE FAILED
Mrs. Cranmer Says She
Did Not Make Statement
That 1t Had.
fPy TELEGRAPH to The rr,bun.I

Denver, May l9.-The question raised
by the published statements this morn
ing of Mrs. Martha J. Cranmer, mem
Der OF the State Board Of Pardons and
suffrage pioneer, that suffrage is a
failure in Colorado and that women
will soon cease going to the polls. has
caused the suffragists and anti-suffra-
gists Of Colorado 10 take up their battle
axes.
The alleged statement has aroused
suffrage leaders over the country TO
wire here asking for a denial and seek
ing 10 know the reason for the light
vote by women in Denver yesterday.
Late to-day, after she had read many
kilograms and answered many quer

Cranmer denied that she had said suf-
frage was n failure.
al never said any such words" was
the form of her denial.
A number Of prominent Denver wom-
on were interviewed to-day regarding
the alleged failure or success of equal
suffrage In Colorado. Their views fol-
low:
Or. Lillian Pollock. woman physician,
chairman of the social science depart
mpnt Of the Denver Woman's Club,
said: "The indifference OF the women
TO the great moral questions is what
surprises me. The women OF Colorado
and Denver have not lived up to their
responsibilities as mothers OF the
race"
bad weather was no excuse for re
naming at home"
Mrs. Anna Scott, president Of the
State Women's Republican Club. the
largest women's political organization
In the state, said:
"The women have stood together as
well as the men. Complete harmony
IS not TO be expected In an organiza-
ton Of either men or women. Wom-
ems factional fights are good thing.
It is true there are bought women cleo
ton workers, but there are bought
election workers among the men, too.
Suffrage is certainly not failure"
Judge Ben B. Lindsey sent the fol-
lowing telegram TO DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw at New York to-day:
"Mrs. Cranmer positively denies In
terview. Women continue TO take usual
active interest in voting. few po-
litical women peeved over disappoint-
ment in elections or Jobs sometimes
are given TO making such statements,
but so far as they are true they might
equally be made by men regarding male
suffrage. Such statements are illogi-
cal and unfair, and no argument
against justice of women's suffrage"

Mitchell DID NOT
GET THAT GRIZZLY
Returns to Cody After Ten-Day
Hunting Trip Without a
Hint of Bear.
Inr r.lesr.ph 70 The Trihune ]

Cody, Wyo., May 19.-Mayor John
Purroy Mitchell Of New York and his
party, consisting OF Mrs. Mitchell and
bon Barber, reached Cody late last
night from their ten-dsy hunting trip
on the ranch Of A. A. Anderson, Of
New York. But the party was with
out the hoped-for grizzly.
Late Sunday evening. the last day
Of the hunt, the first bear was sighted.
1t was a monster grizzly. The animal
was standing at the edge of some tim
Der and the party was compelled to
circle and come up the wind to pre-
vent its seeming their approach.
In the dusk they could see the ami
nal roofing about fallen tree. Mrs.
Mitchell was even more eager than her
husband TO get a shot at the bear, but
the grizzly saw their approach before
they could get within good shooting
distance, quickly turned into the woods
and, in the darkness, was lost in the
timber.
Mayor Mitchell Is much disappointed
at his failure to bag bear and said
he expected TO return in the fall, dur
ing the elk season, for another hunt.
The party left early this morning for
San Francisco. where the Mayor will
represent New York at the exposition.

RUSSIANS DRIVEN
FROM SAN FORT
Continued from page I

Kolomea. The Russians are sending in
troops as rapidly as possible to meet
the ten German and twenty-four Aus
trian CORPS about 100000 mem said
TO be operating on this front. One dis
patch received to-day says that a
strong new Russian army is on its
way from Bessarabia to join the forces
in central Galicia.
Operations along the San may be
considered as In three sections: the
first. from Przemysl south TO the Car
pathian foothills; the second, from
Przemysl, north to the mouth Of the
Wisloka. which flows into the San just
below Sieniawa; the third, from the
Wisloka TO Sandomir, on the Galician
frontier, in Russian Poland, ffty-seven
miles southeast OF Radon.
Russian Positions Stormed.
o-day's most important operations
as reported from Vienna took place in
the second section; in the first, on the
upper Dneister River and in the dis
trict of Stry, Austrian columns
stormed Russian positions on the
heights north Of Sambor and captured
places which had. been defended OBJ
stinately by the Russians. The heavi-
est German forces, Petrograd reports,
have been concentrated in the third
section, in an attempt TO reach the
right bank Of the San.
Across the Vistula the Austrians are
pressing the Russians around Kielce
and Radon TO establish q connection
with the Galician advance.
The Austro-German victories have
placed the Teutonic forces in posses
sion Of not only practically the whole
of the Galician oil field but also the
copper mines near Kielce.
"As the result of the latest German
tactics" says a despatch to THE Daily
Mail" from Petrograd. "all that had
been accomplished by the Russians in
tn Carpathians has been undone and
months have been added To the duration
of the war.
Plan as Whole Failed.
"If the German plans mad succeeded
completely, if General Linsingen's
army had been as fortunate as Gen
eral Won Mackensen's. if the Austrians
in BukOwina had been triumphant, if
the Baltic invasion had resulted in the
capture of Riga, the blow would have
been terrific. Fortunately, as matters
now stand, the enemy has not accom-
plished anything really decisive.
THE general idea of the German Of
fensive was TO advance upon Lemberg
from three different directions. Won
Mackensen was to attack from the west,
breaking through the Russian front;
Linsingen vas to force Tukhalka Pass
and move swiftly up the Stry valley;
Archduke Eugene in Bukowina was 10
turn the Russian left. Apparently Gen
eral Won Mackensen alone was success
full in his attack, Linsingen being held
back. while the Archduke's army was
soundly beaten"

Wilson Declares u. S. Should Be
"Very Adequately Prepared
President Tells New Navy Board Nation Should Be Read,
for Defense Not for War Says Spirit Of
America Is One of Peace

President Wilson committed himself
more definitely to a strong national
defense policy yesterday than he has
done at any time since the issue first
began to be agitated. In an address
in which the President welcomed the
members of the new naval advisory
board at the White House, he made
the strongest utterance that has yet
come from him on the necessity that
the country prepare for war.
Instead Of the adequate" policy ad-
vocated in his communications with
the Secretary of the Navy and the
Secretary of War. the President spoke
out frankly for policy that would
leave the country very adequately
prepared" for defense. Here is the
Presidents speech:
Il think the whole nation is con-
vinced that we ought to be prepared.
not for war, but for defense, and very
adequately prepared: and that the
preparation for defense is not merely
a technical matter. 1t is noh matter
that the Army and Navy alone can
take care of. but a matter in which
We must have the cooperation of the
best brains and knowledge of the
country outside the official service of
the Government as we'll as inside.
For my part, 1 feel that it is only
in the spirit of a true democracy that
We get together to lend each other volun-
tary aid, the sort of aid that comes from
interest from a knowledge of the varied
circumstances that are involved in han
ding a nation.
Il want you to feel. those of you who
are coming to the assistance of the pro-
fessional officers Of the government, that

, We have a very serious purpose. that W,
have moi asked you to associate yoursel
with us except for a very definite ant
practical purpose. to get you to give u.
your best independent thought as to how
We ought to make ready for any duty
that may fall upon the nation.
II do not have to eXpound il to YOU
you know as well as I do the spirit oi
America. The spirit of America is one OF
peace, but one OF Independence 1t is q
spirit that is profoundly concerned with
peace. because it can express itself best
only in peace. 1t is the spirit of peace
and good will and of human freedom
but it is also the spirit of a nation that
is self-conscious. that knows and loves
its mission in the world, and that knows
that 1t must command the respect of the
world.
so it seems to me that we are not
working as those who would change
anything of America, but only as those
who would safeguard everything in
America. l know that you will enter
into conference with the officers of the
navy in that spirit and with that feel
ing. and it makes me proud gentlemen.
that the busy men Of America the men
who stand at the front of their pro-
fession. should be willing in this way
to associate themselves voluntarily
with the government in the task in
which II needs all sorts of expert and
serious advice.
Nothing ought to be done in this
by any single group of per-

all OF us united together-and i well

rious and grateful spirit"
