women PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR SUFFRAGE PLANK
National American Association Want.
Both Big Parties to Pledge
Equal Ballot.

A countrywide campaign to secure
suffrage plank in the platforms of
the two national political parties is
announced by the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. The
campaign will be opened November
16. when suffrage conventions will
be held simultaneously in Congress
sional districts all over the country,
under the direction of Mrs Medill
Mccormick.
Through these district conventions
the suffragists plan to appeal to both
States and national party conventions
by means Of demonstrations in the
respective districts. The women will
not sotp with the mere adoption Of
resolutions, according to Mrs. Nc
Cormick. They will work to secure
pro-suffrage delegates to party gath
erings
In those States which have State
wide primaries the womens campaign
will be planned by election districts,
and suffragists after interviewing
candidates will bring all their forces
to bear in favor of those who will
pledge support for the suffrage plank
In the States where national party
delegates are chosen by a State con-
vention, the suffrage campaign will
be localized upon the county conyen-
tions and the choice OF delegates to
the State convention.

be arranged.
Before Cummings and O'Connor met
Dempsey and O'Connor decided to play
the game along and learn, If possible,
what labor leaders had been approa ched
or intimidated.. O'Connor and Cummings
met several times and discussed the mat

to Berlin.

Athens. Sept. 13-Information from q
high Turkish source that the German
command in Constantinople has notified
Berlin that unless assistance is received
the Turkish army cannot continue its re-

The critical state Of Turkey has given
rise to renewed rumors of an impend-
ing Austro-German attack on Serbia.
Unless the Austro-Germans bring up at
least eight army corps the Germans
themselves admit that the success of the
movement could not be assured. 1t Is
doubtful whether the Germans can spare
so large a force.
If the German attack on Serbia COIN

The opposition to the forthcoming

Special TO The Washington Herald
Frederick, Md, Sept 13-Souvenirs Of
Washington and pamphlets describing the
bargains in retail trade in the National
Capital were scattered broadcast here
today by party of seventy-five Wash

pull into Hagerstown and put up for the
night
Tomorrow they will enter West Vir-
ginia. visiting Martinsburg and a number
of smaller towns. From West Virginia
the route includes Winchester, Berryville
and Leesburg, Va.
The boosters are urging the people Of
every town to go to Washington during

September q. 1t is their belief that if
they can once show the residents of sur
rounding States the array Of fall mer-
chandise placed on sale in Washington

the merchants are dispensing personal
tokens.

BRITISH FORCES GAIN
after RAIDS BY AIR
Fifty Thousand Recruits Added te
Army-London Expects Increase
to Continue.

London. Sept. 13-Increased recruiting
due to the recent Zeppelin raids on Eng
land, has added more than 5000 soldiers
to the British army. 1t is probable that
within a week as many more will be en-
rolled.
Because of reports that Count Zeppelin
In person directed the raid of Saturday
nighs on the east coast, details of that
attack were eagerly awaited here today.
Up to noon, however. no further informa- =
tion had come from official quarters as
to the actual happenings.
1t is expected that the government will
be called on in Parliament to give infor-
nation as to what has actually occurred
In the various raids. Some members of
Parliament believe that certain facts can
be given without betraying any military
secrets.
The British censor passed a Berlin dis
patch stating that the London docks and
their environs were bOmbarded Saturday
