NORMAN HAPGOOD
TELLS WOMEN WHY
THEY SHOULD VOTE
War in Europe an Example
of Evils That Arise From
Dominance of Men in Po-
Iitical Life.

Norman Hapgood, editor Of Harper's
Weekly, was the guest Of honor and
chief speaker at luncheon which fol
lowed the annual meeting OF the Equal
Franchise Society, In the clover room OF
the Bellevue -5tratford, today. Mr.. Hap
good declared that the present war in
Europe had proved the unwisdom of
limiting the power and influence of
women.
In men he said, the over-combative side
had been developed through centuries and
for this reason they naturally turned TO
make the world peaceable, loving and
Just, Mr.. Hapgood said that women must
be allowed to play prominent part.
In answer to the claim Of anti-suf-
fragists that the place of women is in tho
home, Mr. Hapgood declared that "the
home is now everywhere, and is no
longer limited by four walls" The
progress of civilization and the rapid
spread of cul ure, he said. had brought
about this condition. Modern politics
hiVlS tHhh duy lIluB else III our lnOueTIl
life. needed the influence of women.
Another speaker was Miss Ann Martin,
president OF the Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation OF Nevada, who said of the re-
cent suffrage victory in her State:
Nevada won equal suffrage through
organization and any Eastern State can
be won In the same way. Every voter In
the State was reached several times by
literature and every precinct in the State
with % voters was in most cases reached
personally by an organizer.
Meetings were held everywhere and
precinct leaders were appointed and sup
piled with literature. BY sending tele-
grams from State headquarters every
voter In the State could be reached within
two days time and every voter was
reached on election day. That was all
there was to It,"
At the business session preceding the
luncheon, Mrs. Frank Miles Day an
that arrangements had been
completed by the many women's clubs of
this city to hold meetings every Monday
afternoon throughout the year at the
Curtis Building, for the discussion of sub
Jects having to do with legislation af-
fecting the good of the city and the State.
The following directors were reelected:
Mrs, Oswald Chew, Mrs. Frank Miles
Day, Miss Martha Davis, Mrc. Wilfred
Lewis. Mrs. Horatio Gates Lloyd, Mrs.
Harry Lowenburg and Miss Ellen Nc
Murtrie.

The Belgians are reported to have dyna-
mited a munition depot in the region OF
Stuyvekenskerke, three miles northwest
Of Dixmude, killing many Germans and
destroying a large quantity OF munitions.
Fighting is in progress along the heights
of the Meuse but the snow and fog have
prevented any renewal OF the offensive
in upper Alsace and in the Vosges.

The Germans massed n heavy body or
troops In front of Crouy (north fthe
Aisne), supported by big guns and ma
chine guns, and efforts of the French
to advance from there on Tuesday night
were unsuccessful.
Although weather conditions east of the
Meuse are very bad. the fighting contin-

role. In upper Alsace the French troops
lying west OF Mulhausen have not tried
any overwhelming offensive, being con-

CAR CHECKS GERMAN
ATTACKS WEST OF WARSAW
Rifle Fire Breaks Charging Columns
at Samice.

PBTROGRAD, Jan. IL.
The situation on the Bzura and Rawka
is still far from clear and It is too early
to speak OF n general German retreat
from before Warshaw. although II is OBJ
vious that the impact OF the enemy's
attack has weakened
Russian forces, however. have made a
further advance to the southwest of
Rawa, another indication that they con-
template repetition of their attempt
at an invasion OF East Prussia from the
east and south, despite the fact that re-
peated German attacks south of the Lower
Vistula In Poland are keeping them fairly
busy. These attacks are being made at
different points and, according to the
Russian official statements, are easily re-
PEELED.
There were several sharp engagements
yesterday west of Warsaw and almost
continuous artillery fire by the Germans,
but the Russians say they repulsed all
attacks both here and In the Borijmow
region.
-Four more German attacks were de-
livered at Samice, but again all were
repulsed by the Russians, who broke the
charging columns with rifle fire. Their
batteries were not called into action.
me Russian trenches are we'll equipped
with searchlights, and the serrled col
umns Of the attacking Germans were
rendered as plainly visible as in day
time: After one nights work at Samlce
5Vo German corpses were picked up.
The Bzura fighting, according to Rus
sian estimates. has already cost Germans
more than 25O,O00 men. To take The rms
sian lines probably would cost as manv
again, If not more. There would still
remain the famous Blone lines, soutn
west of Warsaw, which, according to the
unanimous opinion of experts, would in
Volve the sacrifice of at least 400, 900
men without the certainty of capture.

TIFLIS, Jan. IA.

TTFLIS, Jan. IA.
As the Turks advance into Persia Kurd
tribesmen, allies of the Ottoman troops,
are massacring all Christians whom they
capture. At Minedoab, south of Tabriz,
which was taken in night attack, the
Kurds killed all the Christians in the
town, about 300.
Thousands of non-combatants are flee
ing from the war zone Forty thousand
refugees have sought shelter within the
Russian lines.
The Russian province of Erivan is
supposed to be the objective of the
Turkish army, whose advance, IL it sue
ceeds, Will eventually reach Tifls. Tabriz
lies between the Caspian Sea and Lake
Urimia on both of which bodies of water
the Germans and Turks would like to get
footing, The city is in that part Of
Persia which has been considered as
under Russian domination and will prove
valuable base for the movement north
and east into Armenia.
In addition to this reported success the
TURKS are putting up a stubborn fight
atter their rout at Sari Kamysh and
Ardagan to maintain their positions along
the Oltt River. The Russian forces seem
now. however, to be getting the upper
hand, the Russian General Staff report
Ing that the battle is turning in their
favor.

NEW HUN MINISTER
STRENGTHENS BONDS
OF DUAL MONARCHY
Shift of Portfolios Allays
Dissatisfaction - Berch-
told's Successor Announces
~Stand-pat" Policy.

VIENNA, Jan. H.
Baron Stephen Burian today assumed
the duties of Foreign Minister OF Austria
Hungary without any elaborate cere-
monies. One Of his first announcements
as TO his. future policies was a declera-
tion that Austria Hungary and its ally,
Germany. would carry on the war to
= successful conclusion. and that the
policies OF his predecessor, Count Leopold
Won Berchtold. would be carried out.
.'The advice OF Count Berchtold will
be Invaluable to us" said tho new For
elKn Minister. "The Emperor regrets
the retirement OF Count Berchtold, who
has been anxious to lay down his burden
for some time.
His knowledge OF conditions will be
utilized to the utmost in waging the
~ar, as we intend TO do, to a successful
eonclusion.''
Semiofflcial denial was issued today OF
reports that the selection Of Baron
Burisn a Hungarian, had been caused
by threats made by Hungary that It
would separate from Austria unless It
was given better protection from Russian
attacks.
In response to memorials the Austrian
authorities have decided to change their
methods and will henceworth take the
public into their confidence in regard to
both military and civil measures and
progress. in order to facilitate important
measures and. to avoid internal dis
sensions.
In explaining the replacing OF Premier
Count Won Berchtold by Baron Stephan
Burian. former Minister OF the Royal
Court In the Hungarian Cabinet, the Gov
arnment, in a statement issued today,
repeats the declaration that there was no
political significance in the move. Berch-
told withdrew for personal reasons, It is
stated. and the policies OF the Austrian
Government will remain absolutely tho
same.
Today the Emperor sent a personal let
ter of thanks for his services to the re-
firing Premier accompanied by the dia-
mond cross of the Order of Stephan.

BERLIN, jan IA.
1t was stated here today that the Ger
man bombardment OF Rheims is being
pushed with vigor. During yesterday los
shells fell inside the French lines in the
town. inflicting considerable damage
Fighting is also in progress to the east
of the city and In the neighborhood of
Solssons where several French attacks
In force have been repulsed. The Ger
man forces have succeeded in advancing
their lines somewhat to the east of Soils
sons and have also repelled several
French attacks in force in the Argonne
and the Woevre regions, Elsewhere on
the west the situation is quiet
On the eastern front there is fighting
in progress at several points OF the long
battle line, but the official reports lndl-
cate that at no point is it becoming
decisive.
The official explanation OF the resump-
tion Of the bombardment of Rheims de-
clares that French batteries have again
been placed in the city to shell the Ger
man positions in that region, and this
compelled the German artillery to bonn
bard the famous French city again.
