Officials Reticent

Officials while reticent about what has been said to Germany and. Great Britain dc not deny that the gravity of the whole situation has been made unmistakably clear. In some quarters today the sug- sestlon was made. but without confirma tion from sources usually well informed, that an embargo on exports of foodstuffs from the United States to both the allies ane Germany was being considered in the event of an absolute rejection of the American plan for amehorating the stua- ticn.
 It became known that the latest com nlunicat1on was sent to Ambassadors Page and Gerard at London and Berlin respectively on Sunday after conferences between President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing. The American government asked that the document be regarded for the present as strictly confidential.

Washington, February 2a--Dcmo- cratic leaders of the senate conceded tonight that there wns little hope for any legislation except the big supply measures before adjournment of Con- gress a week from tomorrow. and that there wss no prospect Of passing the rivers and barbors bill in it's present form.

THE ONLY NESCESSARY
RELATION BETWEEN HUS-
BAND ANE WIFE"

The Montgomery Jourhel has
the following concerning the de-
feat of ths woman suffrage Bill by
che Alabama legislature:
A recent utterancs of DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw. the famous presf.
dent of the National Equal Suff-
rage Association, was brought into
house debate today on the social.
ed woman suffrage bill. Whether
or not the reference to the Dr. Shaw
ststament Influenced the solons is
not stated by either side. At all
events the bill failed of passage
shortly after the statements were
made. that the only relation ueces-
ssry between husband aud wife was
that the husband was the father to
the children, is the statement cred
tied to DR.. Shaw.
With the Institution of the eutire
equelitv of sexes, in duties, privi-
lsees ann responsibilities of citi.
zenship. society would undergo
vast changes. How far the revolu-
ton would extshd is i matter tf
spec ulation. But 1t cannot be de-
MED that such limitafion Of per-
sonal relationship as defined by
DR.. Shaw. would not be inconsis-
tent with the logic Of absolute po-
litioal aud social sex equality. with
Punishment Of all natural. or estab-
lished. inequalities. 1t would also
be modelled somewhat after the
practices Of the Amazons, as des.
cribed in the Greek mythology.
Then, un ler the natural operations
of sex equality. sex rivalry and sex
antipathy was carried to the extent
Of sex separation; except to sstab'
lise the link of relationship"
claimed by DR.. Shaw to be neces-
sary.-Vicksbure Herald.
