WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The general for
egn policy of the United States to be attacked in
Congress and resolutions calling for a complete
change are being prepared. An announcement to
the effect that Col. House will be sent to Europe
as an "Unoffcia1' ambassador precipitated the
feeling that the diplomatic service has failed to safe
guard American interests. 1t is likely that Hoke
Smith will lead the way by forcing the vote on
resolution calling for inquiry into the alleged fail
of the state department to prevent interference
with American trade with neutral nations. The res
o1ution will be fought by Lodge who will demand
an inquiry to be extended into the submarine actiy
ity of the TeutOnic Allies.

first cousins, Herbert and Hugh
Thompson, aboard the Eastland
when she turned turtle in Chicago
and SO many lives were lost. One of
them escaped over the rail and the
other through a portfolio.
The two ladies they had escorted

VOTING FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Inc State of New Jersey will de-.
eide at special election to be heltf
october 10 whether woman suffrage
snail be granted in that Common
wealth. The States of New York.
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
Will vote upon the same question ut
the regular election in November.
This year will, therefore, be by
far the most important in the con-
test for and against votes for WON.
en-. Illinois has granted women the
ballot in partial form, but this
was done by straining the powers of
the Legislature and not by popular
vote. When the same proposition
was submitted in Ohio it was de-
feated overwhelmingly. The chances
are that a constitutional amend
ment would have shared the same
fate If submitted in Illinois.
The New Jersey election is, with
reason, considered the most impor-
tant referendum that has even been
taken upon woman suffrage in this
country. Ohio is larger State than
New Jersey, but the result at the
special election in New Jersey is
certain to be accepted as rejecting
what will happen in New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania two
weeks later, and special efforts are
BEING made by both sides to win in
the first battle.
The greater part of the campaign I
ing for and against votes for women
is being conducted by women, al
though the matter will be decided /
by the votes of men. The Woman
Suffrage Association of New Jersey
is placarding the States with argu-
ments. while the Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage is equally ac-
tive Among those interested in
the fight against suffrage is Mrs.
Preston, formerly Mrs Grover Cleve-
land, and those who think with her
are confident that the vote will be
In the negative. If woman suffrage
Is buried in New Jersey, it seems
probable that the result will be the
same, except possibly more decisive.

London, Aug. 21-The very sane
tum Of British conservatism, the
Bank of England, has been invaded
by women clerks Over 200 of
them are now employed in the bank
in various forms of clerical work.
While 1t is the war that gave women
the opportunity of replacing men Of
military age, it is also war that
creaaed additional work at the bank
through the war loan business.
Women have been employed in
the Bank of England in the humble
Eote-sortinf capacity since 1895, but
they had never before done clerical
work They often put in as much

A BETTER TIME AHEAD

Cheering news was brought back
to st. Petersburg by a well known
man of this city who made a tour of
the New England States, Pennsyl-
vania and New York as a special
investigator of conditions. He
went into many large and small
towns, talked with local bankers and
sounded the people, as well as study
ing the conditions he cenld observe
for himself. He was on the road for
several weeks and learned much that
is of interest here.
He said he found the banks were
running over with money. and in
some instances had refused to con-
tinue to take savings deposits at in
terest. He said the factories were
working overtime and that nearly
everybody was at work Jobs were
plentiful and the people had money.
He said he never saw times so pros
porous and his prediction was that
there would be a rush to Florida
this winter that would pass adj prev
i0us records.
In the west in the wheat belt
there are immense crops and the
corn is going to be almost record
crop, the unfavorabie weather hav-
ing given away to the right kind Of
sunshine to develop the staple of
Iowa and the middle west The
farmers are getting good prices for
what they grow and the prosperous,
or will be this falf.
War orders are keeping the east
and north in money, this fnvesti-
gator says, and he saw not a single
factory in the thousands OF miles he
travelled that was idle. With the
east making money selling all sorts
of supplies to Europe for cash and
the farmers of the middle west sell
ing food supplies to Europe, there is
certain to be money for winters in
Floida, and the annual immigration
to the land of sunshine will be
greater than ever before.
This year money will be loose and
plentiful and the people will flee
from the cold weather of the north.
They will come to Florida and in
numbers of them will come,
