Tells Leaders Question is
One For Each State

AN OPEN-AIR MEETING
Virginia Congressman Tells Women
That They Have Higher Plane in
World Than Politics

Petersburg, Va, NoNv. S-Con-
pressman Walter A. Watson, OF the
Fourth Virginia District. met COM
mittee representing the Virginia
State Equal Suffrage League mere
Saturday at the request Of the state
organization to discuss his position
upon the question.
The delegation was headed by Mrs.
Charles v. Meredith, of Richmond,
and Miss Elsie Hill, Of Washington,
D. c., representing the National SUI
frage League.
The meeting was neld in the City
Council chamber and speeches were
made by Mrs. Meredith, Miss Hill and
Mrs. Percy Reed. At the conclusion
of the addresses, Judge Watson
thanked the committee for the in
Formations which he had gained, which
he regarded as being very important.
Congressman Watson stated to the
committee that he desired to be can

charged with the responsibility OF
acting for others he would always
keep his mind open to determine pub
lis questions in the right way, yet
he deemed the question of suffrage
one for each State to determine for
itself and one which the Federal govs
ernment should not take jurisdiction
in. and that unless something should
hereafter appear to chance his opin.
ion. he did not favor the constitu-
tional amendment.
In conclusion, he stated that there
were disabilities under which women
mt present labored in our government
that should be corrected, and that
some Of these might be corrected by
giving woman the right of the bal
lot. He regarded women the mental
and moral equal of man. and did not
in any way fear the effect of woman
suffrage upon the State, ;'but did feel
that in addition to her present cares
to devolve the ballot upon her would
be not SO much comforting privilege,
but casting a burden and response
bility upon her, which he would pre-
fer to see her spared. At the con-
clusion of Judge Watson's remarks

members of the committee from ar

SERBS HOLDING PASS

London. Nov. S.-A division Of 25,-
900 Bulgarians is attempting to en-
velop the French force in the Valan-
dovi region, according to information
from Bulgarian soldiers obtained by
Greek outpost in the Belasica Noun
tain, at the junction of the Greek,
Servian and Bulgarian frontiers, says
Reuter- dispatch from Salonlkl.
Heavy artillery and rifle fire has
been heard at the outpost station.
A number of Bulgarian shells are
reported to have fallen on the rail
way north of Guevgeli, but alice
reinforcements are passing Guevgeli
regularly, it is asserted. a Servlan
official is quoted as declaring the
Serbs. are holding firm at Babuna
Pass, where all Bulgarian orslaughts
have been repulsed. The pass !"
said to be piled deep with Bulgar-
ian dead. At one point more thar
1000 Bulgars were caught between
cross-fire and annihilated.
An important British contingen;
was landed Saturday at Salonlkl.
where additional lant:ng facilities
have been granted tho allies aftei
negotiations with the Greek authorl-
ties.
Advices from Saloniki and other
poir;ts show that much Larger foEres;
than were thought to be near the
scene are being landed at Salonikl
and are proceeding to points where 1t
is believed they can do the most good.
Troop trains are continually leaving
Saloniki but so much secrecy is being
maintained that it IS impossible to
compute the number Of men.
One report says that an Anglo-ltal-
ian army has landed at Falona CAV
lona), on the Adriatic, with the pur-
pose of crossing Albania.
The Russians are still concentrat-
ing in Bessarabia. to be prepared to
make a descent on Bulgaria from
the east.
Meanwhile. in Northcn and East
ern Servia, and on the Montenegrln
frontier, big battles are in progress.
The Austro-G Germans claim to be ad-
vancing all along the line and to have
reached the Morava River, which
has been crossed at some points. In
their advance they are picking up
prisoners. guns and war material.
The Montenegrins, like their Ser
Wan allies, are fighting stuhbornly
in defense of their country, and re-
port that they have repulsed an at
tempt by the Austrians to cross their
border from Herzegovina, and cap
tured four guns, quantity of sup
plies and a few men. They also claim
success over the Austrians in the
Sanjak (Novapazar), where they cap
turcd four more field guns and sever
al hundred men.
1t would appear, therefore, that the
Central Powers, who have obtained
their initial objective. the opening OF
the road to Sofia and Constantinople
have LOT of fighting ahead of then
