The President takes the view that

that it was simply warning.

possible effect on American shipping
and will seek TO get fun information
from Germany on exactly what was
intended and what measures will be
taken to insure American vessels from
attack. Mr.. Wilson mentioned Am
bassador Bernstorff's explanation of
the war zone order, but repeated that
the United States would not finally
determine on its course until the off,
cial explanation from Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin was received.
High officials apparently attached
much importance TO both the Lusi-
tania and war zone situations and il
was made clear to-day that every
effort will be made to protect the

Mrs. Roessing Thanks
House For Passage of
Suffrage Amendment

Statement from Mrs. Frank NJ.
Roessing, president of the Pennsylva-
MIA Woman Suffrage Association, on
passage of the suffrage bill by the
House:
We are greatly pleased by the
spirit OF fairness which the
House has shown in its vote on
our bill. II is good to know that
the majority of the Representa-
tives not only respect their party
pledges but stand ready to facin-
tate legislation on a question in
which the people of the State
have expressed vital interest.
We feel that special thinks are
due to Speaker Amber for his as
sistance in bringing it to an early
vote. and also TO Representative
Wilson, OF Philadelphia, and the
other members of the judiciary
committee, for the promptness
with which they reported out the
measure.
AS all parties incorporated a
plank in their platform endorsing
the passage of the suffrage bill,
and as Governor Brumbaugh him
self has strongly recommended
favorable action upon it. we have
felt right along that the Iegisla-
tuTe would raise no obstacles in
its path. But al the same time
we ere pleased that the members
of the House have decided the
measure so promptly. I. indi-
Gates spirit on their part that
is TO he highly commended, and
We thank them for il.

RESOLUTION PASSES

Now Goes to Senate; If Adopted
Will Be Up to Voters

MRS. ROESSING'S STATEMENT
Head of State Association Thanks
Legislature and Predicts
Victory

The resolution to submit to the vot-
ers the woman suffrage amendment to
the Constitution was passed finally in
the House to-day by a vote OF 1870
10 II. The resolution now goes to
the Senate and If passed by that body
the amendment will go before the peo-
pie at the November election. The
resolution was passed by the last
legislature, the vote in the House in
1913 being 131 to 20 and a tie in the
Senate being broken by the lieutenant
governor.
The debate was opened by W. II.
Wilson, Philadelphia, sponsor of the
resolution, VINO declared the resolution
was a party pledge, the pledge of
many members and the pledge of the
Governor. and had been much dis
cussed since its passage two years
ago. He asked that it be passed by
decisive vote, as it was a referendum.
Mr.. Boyer, Philadelphia, answered
Mr.. Wilson declaring that the resoluz
tion was not mere referendum, but
that the constitutional provision for
amendment showed that the full con-
sideration of two legislatures was de-
manded and that there was nothing
binding on this legislature because
that of 1913 had passed the resolution.
Mr.. Boyer declared that women were
replacing men in many lines of em-
ployment and that having driven man
from places in labor they were now
trying TO take his place in govern
ment
\ statement by Mr.. Beyer that II
things went on men might as we'll be
eliminated from the constitution,
stirred up Mr.. Cromer, Allegheny, who
declared that women were entitled to
consideration, and that pledges should
Yoe kept. Mr.. Roney, Philadelphia, ad-
'vocated the resolution but said that
his vote to submit il to the people
would not control his action in No
Vember. Mr.. Urich, Lebanon, spoke
against the resolution. and demarked
that in Kentucky women had been ac-
cused of selling votes. He wanted TO
postpone action indefinitely, but failed
TO get support.
