MORE men ARE SPEAKING FOR
SUFFRAGE IN NEW JERSEY
,eoia1 to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS
Newark, August 12.-Suffragists
claim that there are more men speak
ing for equal suffrage in the state
of New Jersey than in any OF the
eastern campaign states of New
York, Massachusetts and Pennsylva-
MIA.
1t is doubtless explained by the
fact that there are many commuters
to and from New York city and Phil
adelphia, including editors, writer's,
professional men, ETC., who make
their homes In the state, and who are
students of the question of the day.
It is the man who thinks SO much
of the welfare of his family that he
makes a home for his wife and chill
dren away from the city, who is In
terested in suffrage. He is proclaim
ing his interest in votes for women
because he believes that "the politi-
cal influence of the women will be
for good" as Thomas A. Edison puts

That they should have worked out so

London, Aug. 12.-The German forces
on the eastern front continue to make
advances to the east of Warsaw, but
there are no indications that they have
succeeded In their object of cutting off
any large bodies of Russian troops.
Announcement iii the German official
statement that they have taken the
railway junction to the southeast of
Ostrow was accepted by some to mean
they had cut the Warsaw-Petrograd
railway, but it was SO stated.
The German movement in Kovno and
Courand continues to develop, and 1t
is significantly stated in the Berlin
statement that Field Marshal von Hin
denburg is in command of the ''army
group"
Undoubtedly this group is co-operat-
ing with the German battle fleet Of the
Baltic.

|STATE MILITIA TO GET $4,000
MORE FROM THE U. S.

Washington, Aug. 12:-Fopr mill
lion dollars, this years federal ap-
preparation to aid the organized mil
itia, was apportioned yesterday by
Secretary Garrison. Half of the
amount is for actual field service and
rife practice and is divided among
the states according to congressional
representation.
Instead of making the distribution
for supplies and ammunition accord
ing to paper strength, as was done
last year, Mr.. Garrison took into
consideration the actual strength at
the annual Inspection and the num-
Der of auxiliary branches, such as
field hospitals, ambulance companies,
field artillery, cavalry, signal corps
and engineer corps.
The result of the new plan is
that New Lork receives for supplies
and ammunition $4,000 more than
last year; New Jersey, $4,000; Penn
sylvania, $1,000 and Ohio, $4,000.
Texas will be the greatest loser,
drawing $4,000 less than last year.

differ widely. In a communication

themselves Citizens of Lower High

two, claimed that there never was
remonstrance on. the part of the resi-
dents in lower High street against
having a public park on the former
emery mill property. James Hend-
erson, who circulated remon jtrance
against the purchase of waterfront
property for park purposes, spoke
differently today and remonstrance
dug up in the city clerks office indl-
Gated that southern High street resi-
dents had protested along with few
others to the purchase of the one
time emery mill property and the
Johnson land. Mr.. Henderson said

High street property owners mad
signed the remonstrance against the
sites mentioned.
Upon application to Alderman

was designed to protest against pur-
chasing either the former emery mill
land or the Johnson property. There
