FURTHER VIOLATION TO BE
REGARDED As HOSTILE
FINAL WORD OF AMERICA
Last Note of This Country SterneI
In Tone Than Any Previous In
Its Communications With
Germany.

Washington, July 24.-With publi-
cation today of President Wilson'S
note warning Germany that any rep
etition of acts by her submarine
commanders in violation of Ameri-
can rights would be regarded as de
liberately unfriendly,' the United
States government awaited further
developments.
The note does not necessarily call
for reply. 1t leaves the way open
however, for an answer disavowing
the sinking of the Lusitania and of
fering reparation, submitting assur-
ances as to the future actions of
Gerr man naval officers, and even ask
ing directly for mediation by the
United States between the British
and German governments on the sub
iect of warfare at sea. The use in
the note of the phrase, deliberately
unfriendly" is viewed as expressing
the final word of the United States
government regarding Germany's sub
marine warfare. The United States
does not abate, in any respect, but
rather more strongly insists upon
| the demands made in previous notes
that Germany acquiesce in its views
| that the rules of international law
and Humanity be obeyed in her naval
warfare. The United States govern
ment cannot believe, the note says
that "the imperial government will
longer refrain from disavowing the
wanton acts of it's naval commander
in sinking the Lusitania" and making
PREPARATION for the lives of Americans

that the government will continue tc
contend for the freedom of the seas

The note also invites Germany's

about the freedom of the seas; de-
clares the American government can,
not discuss actions of Great Britain
and that it regards as irrelevant

duct cf other beiilseieLts. roints Out

NATIONAL LEADER is
NOW IN THE CITY
WILL HOLD BIC MEETING
Mrs. Colt, OF New York, Member Of
Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage, VIII be the Chief
Speaker of Evening.

An open air meeting will be held
Friday evening at 1880 O'clock at the
intersection of Main and Roam
streets, in the interest of the Federal
Suffrage amendment to the Constr
tuition. Mrs. William l.. Colt, of New
York, prominent member of the
advisory council of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage, and for
mer viee-president of the New York
State Suffrage Association, also of
the New York City Consumers
League. is in city and will be the
chief speaker of the occasion. She
has been fighting for votes for wo-
men, for 22 years and is now CEN
tering her fire upon what is known
as the Susan B. Anthony amendment
to the Federal Constitution, as She
considers it the easiest and most di-
rect route to the goal. She is a very
earnest and interesting talker and it
IS a safe prediction that if you go
to hear her you will be instructed,
if not convinced. The following com
mittee of local suffrage leaders will
act as sponsors for the occasion:
Mesdames e. X. Perkins, L. Arm
brust, w. f, F. Milburn, Paul f. Di-
Vine, James Ponder, Fred Powell, s.
X. Lindsay, J. p. Metzger.
Mrs. Colt has her subject well in
hand and talks entertainingly upon
any phase presented. In response to
a question as to what effect the
amendment would have upon the
race problem she said:
"A little study will prove that the
national enfranchisement of women
will in no way complicate the race
problem. In all of the fifteen South
ern States, except Mississippi and
South Carolina, the white women
greatly outnumber the negro women.
In nine of these States, the white
women outnumber the total negro
population. There are in the South
ern States 2,O17,2S6 more white wo-
men than negro men and women pat
together"
"In Mississippi and South Carolina,
where negro women outnumber white
women, negro men outnumber white
men. There is no more reason why
the presence of negro women should
debar women from voting than the
presence of negro men debars men
from voting. Mississippi imposes a
heavy educational qualification and
South Carolina both an educational
and a property qualification. II wo-
men voted, these qualifications would
apply to women exactly as to men,

is a woman. There are today, in all
our States, widely-varying qualiica-
tions- some wise; some unwise. Wo-
men did not frame these qualifica-
tions; and since women are disfran-
chised, they cannot change them,
They merely ask that where a woman
measures up to the standard required
of a man, she may not be debarred
from voting because she is a woman.
This will not make our electoral ar
-rangements perfect, but it will rem
edy their most glaring injustice, the
almost complete discrimination
against women"
TO give you some idea of what the
women hope to accomplish by this
campaign being made in many states
we give the text of the Susan B. An
thony Amendment and the course to
be pursued in it's adoption and what
it would accomplish:
Susan b. Anthony Amendment.
Article.-Sec. 1. The right of citi-
zens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States or by any State
on account of sex.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power,
by appropriate legislation, to en-
force the provisions of this article.
Steps Necessary For Its Passage.
|. The amendment must be passed
in the United States Senate and the
House of Representatives by two
thirds vote of the members present,
quorum being present. There are
435 members of the House and SO
members of the Senate. If a bare
quorum is present in the House (2lS)
members, the amendment must Sc
cure LAG favorable votes; if the en-
tire membership of the House is
present, the amendment must secure
29O favorable votes. In the Senate
| the amendment must secure a mini
mum vote of SO and maximum vote
of 64
2. The amendment must then be
ratified by majority in three
fourths 1861 of the State Legisla-
lures.
Federal action is more direct than
state action, because
/. A state Constitutional Amend
ment must usually be passed by a
two-thirds' vote of the State Legisla-
ture, sometimes twice over; and must
then be submitted to a referendum OF
the male voters of the State. A Uni-
/ ted States Constitutional Amendment
once passed by Congress, needs to Sc
cure only a single majority vote in
three fourths of the State Legisla-
lures; and no referendum of the peo-
pie is necessary.
2. The Federal Amendment thus
L
saves twelve State campaigns. If the
amendment is then ratified by three
fourths Of the States, it becomes a
law for the whole nation.
8. A Federal Amendment, once
passed by Congress, is passed for
ever, and is thereafter before the
State Legislatures for their consider
alton. II a State Legislature re-
iects the Federal Amendment, 1t can
reconsider it's action. If it ratifies
the amendment, the ratification is n
nal. A State constitutional amend
ment. if rejected by the male voters,
must be re-introduced into the State
Legislature and the work begun all
over again from the very beginning
A. Federal work saves the expen-
diture of great sums of money in
reaching individual voters scattered
