would not muster the necessary two

predict more than that the house
would register a majority in favor O.
their proposition.
Webb Leads Opposition.
Representative Webb, chairman c:
the judiciary committee, led off the
debate in opposition to the amend.
ment. He believed II the question
should be voted on by women more

cluded by the floor leaders of the Re.

FRENCH ANXIOUS over
CONDITIONS IN ALSACE

Paris, Jan. 13.-Serious anxiety is
felt here in regard to conditions in
Alsace.
Unofficial word says the Germans
are hurling huge masses of men
against the French positions at Stein
bach and the heights of Cernay.
The war Office says the French are
maintaining their positions, but makes
no claim of additional gains. The
fear is expressed that the offensive
here may have been premature and
cannot be maintained.
Retirement from Alsace at this time
would cause utmost depression
throughout France, where the recov-
cry of the lost provinces" has be.
come a fanatical religion.
Latest reports from there say that
heavy SHOWS are interfering with op-
erations, but that desperate fighting
continues.
Serious fighting is also in progress
Verdun, north of scissors and at St.
Georges, in Belgium.
Elsewhere rains and alternate thaws
and freezing conditions make any con-
certed forward movements impossible
With the lull generally in the north
both sides are devoting themselves to
aerial activity. Clashes between rival
aviators are a common occurrence.
Both sides have lost more men and
machines in the last ten days than in
auy similar period of the war.

GREAT ARMIES
AWAIT ] SPRING
Situation on European Bat
tlefields Unchanged.
PREPARE FOR STRUGGLE

Great Britain Is Pouring Thousands
Of Men Into France Every Week
and Germany Has Summoned All
Reserves to the CoIors.
London, JAN 13.-The great armies
battling in the eastern and western
arenas of the war by artillery ex-
changes, sapping operations and
trench attacks, continue to be aligned
much as they were Jan. l. Every
where the disposition seems to be to
await the coming of spring, when,
with fresh armies thrown into the
field, events promise to move more
quickly.
Great Britain is now sending thou.
sands Of men to France every week
and, according to reports from Berlin,
Germany, aware Of this, IL making
great military preparations for q
counter movement. All the reserves
are being called to the colors, it is
declared in London, and the further
statement is made that the German
generals are gathering up the reins to
assume active direction of all the
campaigns, that is to say, the Aus
tro-Hungarian fight against Servia and
Russia, and the Turkish campaign
against Russia and Great Britain.
This, briefly, is the plan military
observers in London believe will be
followed, subject, however, to any
change which the entrance of Rou-
mania or Italy into the conflict might
necessitate.
Germany Claims Progress.
Germany still claims to be making
slow progress toward Warsaw. There
have been published in London, how;
ever, reports that these operations
merely are masking movements to
shield a German retreat to the Sile-
sian frontier.
British military observers do not
credit this idea, believing that Cen
eral Won Hindenburg has further Of
fensive strength, but at the same
time they draw attention to the fact
that the Russians must feel confident
of Warsaw's safety, else they would
not continue to hurl so many troops
into Bukowina for an invasion of Hun
gary.
In the western theater, according
to the Berlin statement, insignificant
engagements are taking place south OF
the canal of La Bassee, but so far
without resrlt. The French assert
that from the sea to the Oise there
was an intermittent cannonading,
fairly violent at certain places not
named in the statement.
On the Aisne river, to the north OF
Scissors, the French say, determined
attacks were delivered by the Ger
mans against trenches occupied by
the allies Jan. 8 and 10. These were
repulsed and the allies took possess
sion of more German trenches.

A RADICAL MEASURE

Miss Katherine Bennett Davis commissioner OF charities OF
New City has made good her character for originality
and independence by proposing novel OF treating the
evil commerciazed vice. It consists in driving the evil
of the poorer red light districts and forcing them
if thew wish continue settle in the fashionable residential
sections That DONE she asserts the influential citizens OF
those sections will that the evil is cleaned out This is
principally noticeable for its cutting at the influential
people of the fashionable districts who trouble themselves
little about the growth of vice if it shows udicous modesty by
not crowdng closely against the respectable She makes
telling point in reply to the objection that such course
would subject the young people of the rich section to bad
associations that the young people of the poorer sections
twice much exposed to the corruption the young people
of the rich would be.
