.SUFFRAG|STS ASK TO
SPEAK IN CONGRESS
Urge House to Permit Plea on
Floor-Precedents Are Be-.
Ing Looked Up.

Bearing a messaEe from the woman
sufrragists OF the West, two women In
tend to ask permission to speak In the
House Of Representatives early in me
session OF Congress.
The rules Of the House forbid the
presence upon It's moor Of persons other
than members, and former members OF
Congress-. Cabinet officials. and those
upon whom Congress has bestowed It's
thanks. It is possible. however. to
get around this rule by having tss
House take a few minutes ''recess." ="
during which the members remain IN
their seats. and during which time ad-
dresses may be made by an outsider.
This was the custom followed several
years ago when Z distinguished Japa-
nese statesman was q visitor to the
Congress of the United States. the
House voted to have a ten.mtnuts re-
os .ss ss' visns %s%s'rs asnrs .nS
gathered in the well OF the House to
shake his hand. All this time. how
ever. the House was supposed not TO
be In session. and. technically speak
ing, II was not In session. The re-
| suit. nevertheless, was the same.
The same custom has been followed
from time to time In the past when II
was desired to show special privileges
Heading the effort to gain q hearing
for the ENJOYS who are coming here as
representatives from the San Francisco
Women Voters Convention before at
least one house Of Congress- are Miss
Alice Paul. chairman Of the executive
committee OF the Congressional Union.
/ and Miss Anne Martin. chairman Of the
committee on arrangements for the
coming convention.
The women who will do the talking.
II the permission 10 grnvted. are the
, envoys. Miss Frances Jolliffe. OF Cali
fornia. and Mrs. Sarah Bard Field. OF
Oregon. who made the automobile trip
across the continent. bearing the Gre
dentials OF the great California conven-
| tion.
The suffra cists have had John 9. Bar
r'ngton. research historian. looking up
| the nature Of the precedents upon which
they base their claims Of n right TO be
. heard before the nations lawmakers.

LONDON. March 15.-A Reuter- man minister of the Interior and Vice Chancellor, Clemens Del Brueck as declaring in a speech before the upper chamber, Germany's intention to continue the war until she has ob tained the guarantees she desires. He is quoted as saying if Germany is merely satisfied with repelling the enemy. the war would soon end. but before the war ends her enemies must guarantee not to attack Germany ag- ain.
 Herr Del Brueck spoke after the upper chamber had adopted the bud get without discussion. This he said is unprecedented, adding:
 "1t shows all partisan elements are not united by a firm determination to win the war which has been fore ed upon us. Our enemies have been repeatedly defeated by our uncOn- querable troops, they are now going to try and starve us waging a war against our women and children, in- stead of our armies and fleets"
 After reference to the industrial agricultural and economic resources of Germany, the Vice Chancellor said We are organized from top to bot tom and bound together by fixed purpose. Those who are compelled to remain home also will do their best to contribute to the victory
