MAKE THE WOMEN VOTE.
A Counsel Of U%nkindness From n Man
who Shuns the Polls.

To N EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
has been suggested that one way to put

not allowing them to vote, but compel

In tho event of such legislation II
would be amusing to watch a string OF
~dlssruntled and unwilling females filing
into undertakers' shops on the Tuesday
after the first Monday in November to
drop a piece Of white paper into "A box

around Monterey, driving them from
Villa Carols back to the Neuvo Leon

The Carranzistas are reported to have

than in any for several months. More
than 1000 were reported killed. The
Monterey hospitals are filled TO capacity
with wounded, and private homes have
been Communicated for the wounded.
This battle, apparently the same one

The Tension over Arabic Is

SIGNS NOW POINT TO
GERMAN DISAPPROVAL
Berlin Shows a Desire to
Avoid Trouble with the
United States

Washington, Aug. 26.--Count Vol
Bernstorffs telegram to the state de
partment asking suspension OF ludg
ment upon the sinking OF the Arabl
has wonderfully heartened official Wash
ington. which has lived for days in dreac
of a serious outcome of submarine at
tack. While Washington has thought
that the president contemplates no more
drastic rebuke than the recall OF the
American ambassador, it has been noted
with uneasiness that the German people
think nothing at all of the sinking OF
the British liner and would be tremen'
dously astonished should the United
state sever diplomatic relations. No
possibility of agreement could exist after
that act; but when, in the twlnkling
of an eve, the German government makes
plain that it appreciates the danger OF
a break and attempts to forestall one,
Washing ton, naturally optimistic as
against war, jumps to the conclusion
that the danger point has been passed.
The adr anistration it may properly be
said. has hoped for a disavowal OF the
killing Of Americans through the sub
marine alta ok or at least an explanation
which would avoid the necessity of an
abrupt term nation of all official inter
course with Germany.
While the sgtate department continues
silent, See. Lansing's suggestion yester-
dav morning that the United States
would be wiling to wait reasonable
time" for the German explanation con-
a Al. that Ger
MANY will find a. way to avoid break
with the United States, If for no other
reason than that of self interest.
The German cause is being damaged
mmeasurably, as far as Washington sen
timent is concerned, by the continual
barking of Germau-American leaders
throughout the country. The recent
speech of Sen. Lodge at Lynntieid has
attracted attention here, where the
strong disposition is growing to divide |
the American people into two classes.
one whose first thought is for the United !
States, the other whose first thought IS |
for some other country.
Pres. Wilson has been informed un- |
officially from sources close to Count Won
R.rnstorff. the German ambassador, that l
the next communication from Berlin on
the sinking Of the White Star liner Ara
bic will be OF character satisfactory
TO the United States. Coming close on
the telegram which the ambassador for
TO the state department Tuesday
by direction of his government, declaring
IL was not the intention of Germany
that any American lives should be sac
rifced in the sinking of the ship, this
development was regarded as that Ger
many would make some proposal salts
factory TO the United States respecting
submarine attacks on vessels purely of
a passenger carrying nature. Officials
are at loss to conjecture what the Ger
man government viii propose, but there
are assurances that there is every desire
in Berlin TO avoid break with the
United States.
Heretofore Germany has eontended
that neutral lives could not insure a
Delligerent ship against attack, especial {
