SUFFRAGISTS TO LAUNCH
CAMPAIGN IN BALTIMORE
Nation Wide Crusade VIII Be Waged
in Next Nine Months.

Miss Alice Paul. chairman of the Con-
gressional Union for Womans suf-
frage, announces that Baltimore has
been selected as the place for launch
ing the new nationwide campaign
which is to be waged in the next nine
months to develop sentiment among
members of Congress for the submis-
sion of an amendment to the Constitu-
tion granting votes to women. The
selection of Baltimore was made at q
meeting of the executive committee OF
the union yesterday and the time is to
be the first week in May.
The striking feature Of the new cam
paign OF the suffragsts will be a ma
tional suffrage pageant, based upon
episodes in the life Of Susan B. An
tnony. This pageant has been mapped
out by Miss Hazel MacKaye, who
staged the big Washington pageant on
March 5. 1913. 1t has been described
by the Congressioal Union as a most
daring stage spectacle" After it's pro-
duction at Baltimore and Washington
it will be carried to the chief city in
every state Of the Union. The idea of
this pageant is to bring to the very
home of members of Congress the
strength and determination Of the
movement to get votes for women.

"Clean politics" was the theme Of an
address by A. Mitchell Palmer. a former
member Of Congress from Pennsylvania,
recently selected to be a judge of the
United States Court of Claims, in an ad-
dress before the members Of the George
town University Law School last even

Other Similar Methods.

Similar and less conspicuous. but
actuated by the same motives and In
spired by the success of these, were
the builder who thought it necessary
to divide with the county commission

people; the merchant who used his
place as trustee of the public institu-
ton as a market for the wares upon
his shelves; the supervisor who put
his hired man on the township roads
at a profit to himself, or employed his
mules in idle hours to carry public
materials at rUsh-hour prices.

many Is regarded as fairly satisfac-
tory and considerably better than
might have been expected in view OF

running on a restricted scale. chiefly
because Of the virtual cessation of

Skilled Workmen Scarce.
On the contrary. the leading indus

barrassed by the scarcity OF skilled
vorkmen This is true Of the coal and
iron trade, shipbuilding and certain
sections of the chemical industry.
A pronounced scarcity of workmen Is
reported from the great industrial dis

coal is greater than the mines can
meet, although its export mas peen
prohibited. Last month conditions In
the iron trade were reflected by an ad-

At Tukhoika pass, still further to
the east. the cars forces apparently
are satisfied to Withstand the Austro-
German attacks against their very
strong positions at Koziouwka, which
the Germans have tried SO often to
capture.
Along the rest Of the eastern front
the battle is Of desultory character,
which is doubtless due to the fact that
the snow is melting under the warmth
or the spring sun, and the rivers are
either open or are covered with such a
thin coating OF Ice that they will
not bear any weight.
In the west also the commanders
are waiting for better conditions be-
fore making any effort on large scale,
although the French here and there
are attempting to capture the posi-
tions which would give them an ad.
vantage when the general offensive is
decided upon. Their most recent ef.
forts have been directed against the
heights of the Meuse, to the east and
south of Verdun. In which both they
and the Germans claim to have made
gains.
The object Of these operations is to
compel the Germans to evacuate st..

bending of the French front.
