ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUE.

Men members and friends gathered
at 30O5 State Street on last Wednesday
evening at the meeting Of the Alpha
Suffrage Club to hear Miss Sophie Boaz,
Juvenile officer, speak on "The Moth
ers' Pension BILL Much interest was
manifested especially in view Of the
fact that very few Colored mothers
are getting the benefit of this pension
law. Several of them spoke Of having
made application for the same and that
they were turned down for first one
reason and then another. Out Of some
three hundred mothers who received
aid from the pension law which enables
them TO stay home and take care Of
their children, only fifteen Of them were
COlOred. It was pointed out by the
president that the reason ColOred peO-
pie Jared so badly in the distribution
of city and county patronage, is because
they have not enc strong central organ
ization representing the ColOred people.
On next Wednesday the club win have
a musical and social Summer vacation

The fight is already on between the
various eontending factions belonging
to the Democratic and Republican par
ties and all signs indicate that the
fighting will be very bitter from now
until the presidential primary which
will be held April IL, 1916, the hardest
fighting will be between the followers
of the Hon. Charles S. Deneen and the
supporters of Col. Frank o. Lowden
those living in their respective camps
will fight to the death, the great bone
of contention will be to capture the
nomination for Governor and to nomin-
ate their candidates for the other big
state Offices.
Mayor William Hale Thompson will
unite his city hall forces with those of
Col. Lowden and make desperate eff
fort to displace or unhorse the Hon.
Roy o. West as the Illinois member Of
the Republican national committee.
Notwithstanding the fact that a royal
battle. will be waged against the Hon.
Charles S. Deneen and his adherents
he still feels confident that he will
his own against the onslaught of Messrs.
LOwden and Thompson and that be will
still be able to continue to control the
Republican machine throughout the
state of Illinois.
The wise Democratic politicians that
the Hon. William Eliza Williams, Con-
gresham at large will receive the nom
ination for governor over the Hon.
Edward F. Dunno, so must it be so;
that the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan and his
aids throughout this state will eventu-
ally march under the honor of Con-

present governor out of the running.

Republican candidates have entered the

Mr.. AND MRS. T. L. BARNETT GEL
EBRATED THEIR TWENTIETH
WEDDING Anniversary.

Chicago, June 80, 1915.
Editor The Broad Az,
6532 st. Lawrence ave.
Dear Sir:
Owing to a discussion which arose
in the Alpha Suffrage Club a week or
two ago relative to my length of serv-
ice in club work, made the remark
that had organized the /. B. w. Club
two years before my marriage and it
was that club which gave me such a
magnificent wedding reception. also
said that my twentieth wedding ami
versary would be June 9th. Some one
asked if, I was going to celebrate it
and I said the only way / could do
50 would be to announce that my hus-
band and would be at home to any
friends who wished to call in and Of
fer their congratulations Some one
wanted to know the time and replied
that the only time we were "At
Home" even on Sunday, would be be-
tween ana III Z. M.
Accordingly that statement was made
in the papers and members Of the l. B.
w. and Alpha Suffrage clubs and the
Negro Fellowship League. and other
friends called and we spent a very
pleasant evening, but there was no for
NAL announcement or invitatinns and
that is why wanted this notice pub
hshed, because so many of my friends
since then have said they were slight
ed by not receiving an invitation or
notification.
Although there was no formal invi-
tstion or any expectation of presents,
both Mr.. Barnett and myself are very
glad to acknowledge the receipt of two
beautiful and costly pieces of china
The ]. B. W. Club gave a beautiful
hand painted china pitcher and the
Alpha Suffrage Club a dozen hand
painted plates to match tea set which
we already own. Both Of these works
of art were entirely unexpected and
all the more appreciated. For another
reason they are valuable to Us, because
the artistic work on them was done by
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, one Of the
old members of the L B. W. and one of
the finest china painters in the city of
Chicago. For this reason and because
of the love and appreciation Of the
club members, they are especially val
uable.

robbers knocked out several Of his
teeths At that point he managed to
free his right hand from the grip of
the first robber who attacked him. He
struck out bIindly and dealt two of
them several terrific upper-euts, as Mr..
Waring is an expert athlete; and after
they had succeeded in securing $40
from him, they broke away and made
their escape, at the same time over
looking $l25 which he had secreted in
his inside vest pocket and which he
had collected that day for one of his
many White clients.
At the time he was attacked he was
several blocks away from the home Of
Mrs. Novels. He called for help, but
no one came forth to assist him. He
was finally conveyed to his home by
one of the sons of Mrs. Novels, who
had been called up from a nearby drug
store.
Mr.. Waring states that "he was
right up to death s door," and he and
his many friends feel that it was really
a miracle that he managed to free him
self from the robbers.

Salonica would be within the grasp OF
Vienna and Greece would become the mere
vassal of the Austro-German alliance.
Austria would thus realize the dream Of
her statesmen since the events of the last
century resulted in her election first from
Italy and then from Germany. She would
become the master of the Balkans and hold
the key to the Near East.
Turkish Profit.
For their Turkish ally the Austro-Ger-
mans would first of all demand the undis-
puted possession of Constantinople and the
straits. They would insist upon the return
to Turkey of the islands taken by Italy
during the Tripolitan War, possibly some
of the islands taken by Greece in the Bal
kan War. British troops in the valley OF
the Euphrates, Russian troops in the Ar
menian marches, would have to retire. AS
to Egypt and Tripoli, they would be
claimed for Turkey if German success
justified any such claim, but it is doubtful
if this is even hoped for now by Berlin.
Bulgaria, frankly Teutonic in her sym
pathies. would doubtless be rewarded for
her neutrality by permission to occupy GER
tain districts in Macedonia. She would
probably get back the Slistrian districts
taken by Rumania, which is to have Bessa'
rabia from Russia if the recent pro-
pramme is carried through. But actually
Bulgaria would become mere Teutonlc
vassal.
A mere buffer state between an Aus
trian Serbia and Turkish Thrace, COM
handing the one road from Berlin and
Vienna to Constantinople and the East
Bulgaria would henceforth be at the mercy
of her great neighbors and in due course
of time sink to the level of the Serbia
which would exist after the German VIC
tory. Greece "ouid oe III ho olieie"'
estate.
/ AS for Rumania, she is larger than the
Balkan States to the south. Berlin regards
her recent behavior with deep resentment
But she is always to be reckoned with in
the Near East. To punish her would be
to insure her permanent hostility, and
some day, if Russia should again be able
to reopen the Eastern question, she would
be a dangerous ally of the enemy and
possible base for Russian operations in the
Balkans. To give her Bessarabia and for,
give past offences would be the part OF
wisdom, and this seems to be the German
plan.
The conquest of these regions by Ger
man finance and industry has long been
part of Germany's programme. Rumania
has already fallen under the financial
lhegemony of Berlin almost completely. 1t
would be the work of German statesmen

recent peace discussion, which certainly
had German approval, that France is TO
be left undisturbed in Europe. Conceiva-
bly victorious Germany might insist upon
a few SQUARE miles of the district about
Briev, where the great iron mines are; but
this may fairly be taken as the sum OF
Germany's territorial demands.
Apart from the question of Belgium ano
Luxembourg, it is now plain that the great
settlement will be chiefly concerned with
recognizing Eastern and Southeastern
Europe, and it will be Russia and Austria
who will be asked, as the result determines
to pay the costs of peace.
IL Germany Wins
Taking now the first Of the two posi-
bic examinations of the war, what VIII De
the changes in the map of Europe OF
August /, 1914, if Germany wins? 1t IS
possible to make all sorts of estimates
based on the extent and character OF the
German victory. Thus it is impossible TO
make any forecast if we are to assume that
Germany is presently to beat all her foes 70
their knees and impose her terms on
Europe as completely at her feet as was
the Europe of the first decade Of the last
century at the feet of France.
But great as Germany's triumphs have
been there is no prospect yet OF such
triumph, and the first tentative proposals
show no disposition to proceed upon such
an assumption. A German victory now
NAV fairly be described as the success OF
Germany and her allies in holding the ter
ritories conquered and defending Constan-
t;nople. Such a success would mean that
Csrmanv could hold out where she stands
until exhaustion brought her enemies to
the mood of peace making.
Now. on such an assumption 1t is plain
that Germany would go to the peace con-
1ress. the later edition Of the Congress OF
Vienna. which remade Europe a century
aoo with certain well defined claims and
nurnoses. She would be in possession OF
much territory which she might claim as
the booty of war. She would have much
more. Northern France, for example
which might be used as the basis for bar
ter.
In this situation Germany would propa-
bIv claim the right to hold Belgium and
Luxembourg, either absolutely, insisting
that thew be incorporated in the empire as
GRO Bavaria and Baden, or merely demand
certain commercial and military privileges
which would moderate the appearance
rather than change the fact Of her con-
quest of the Belgians.
In the same fashion she would claim the
right 10 set up Kingdom Of Poland con-
