GERMAN PEOPLE
NOT DISTURBED
Calmly Regard Ita|y's DeCIara-
ton Of War.
CHEERS FOR DUAL MONARCHY
Street Demonstrations Take Place in
Berlin When News Becomes Known
and Crowds Parade Singing Patriot
ic Songs and Shouting for Austria.
Hungary.
Berlin, sMay 25.-No arrangements
have been made yet for the departure
of the Italian ambassador from Ger
many.
Owing to the Whitsuntide holidays
no newspapers were published, and,
therefore, there has been no press
comment on Italy's declaration OF
war. The public received the news
with remarkable calmness and seem.
ed more bent on enjoying holiday out
ings in the brilliant summer weather
than worrying about latest accession
to the ranks of Austria-Hungary's en-.
emies.
Street demonstrations took place
when the news of Italys declaration
of war against the dual monarchy be-
came known and crowds paraded the
streets, singing patriotic songs and
cheering for Austria Hungary.
The paraders attempted to make
demonstration before the Italian EN-.
bassy, but the police have taken
precautions to forestall untoward in
cidents and all the approaches to the
embassy were closed.
What comment is heard on the sit
uation is not flattering to Italy. Her
action in declaring waf against her
former ally is regarded by the pop1'
lace as political brigandage."
The average German declines to
take the italian military menace Sc
riously and seems to consider that
Italy's onslaught will merely put of
the ultimate victory of the Teutonic
allies without rendering victory
doubtful.

Comment on itaIy's Reason.

In discussions Of the official Italian
explanation for the declaration o!
war the comment is everywhere heard
that it took Italy long time to find
out that the treaty of alliance had
been violated, it being argued that
Italy's note on this subject was dated
in December and that it required
months longer to determine that the
violation of the treaty constituted a
reason for war.
Dispatches received here from
Vienna report that street demonstra'
tions in favor of war with Italy have
taken place.
The victory of the Austro-G Germans
in Galicia was received with satisfac'
ton mixed with little personal hatred
by the Austro-Hungarians, but it was
evident from the actions Of the pee
pie that successful campaign
against Italy would arouse unbound.
ed exultation. The indications were
that the average Austro-Hungarian
would be almost willing to forego a
victory over Russia for the pleasure
of Furnishing their country's former al.
ly for breaking with her.
Germany is whole heartedly on the
side Of her ally. The Italian military
attache recently was summoned to
German headquarters and shown on a
map the strength of the Austro-Ger-
man armies on the Italian fronier, so
that his government should have no
reason to doubt that Germany would
assist Austria Hungary with every
available man tin case OF war.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
FIGHT BEFORE
CONGRESS
Vote In House Of Representatives
on Tuesday
unconstitutional AMENDMENT
Resolution Expected to Be Beaten
But Great Interest in Size of
Vote In Its Favor.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Hundreds OF
suffragists and anti suffragists came
to Washington today to take part in
the campaign preliminary to the vote
in the House OF representatives on
Tuesday on the resolution proposing
an amendment TO the Constitution
granting equal suffrage. The suf,
fragists were very active in rallies
and social affairs. The antis an
nounced that they were "jubilant'
over the certainty that the resolution
would be defeated. While the suf-
fragists do not assert that their side
will carry the measure. which re-
quires a two-thirds vote of the
House. they say that the vote will
demonstrate the strength of the move
ment.
The annual meeting held tonight,
of the Congressional Union for Wo-
man suffrage served as the occasion
for display of enthusiasm over the
cause of votes for women The
Union is an independent body not af-
filiated with the National Suffrage
association, which accuses the Union
of militant tendencies. Miss Alice
Paul, of New Jersey, Chairman of
the union, made a report of the work
of the organization in the last year,
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, the Presi-
dent of the National Association Op-
posed to Woman Suffrage, said to-
night:
Woman suffrage is radical step
only asked by the minority of women,
and, of course. it is out of all reason
to expect such body as the National
Congress TO yield to minority.
The campaign tactics of the suffra-
gists are familiar to us, and we do
not care to duplicate them. Our
whole theory is that politics and the
making of laws belong TO the domain
of men. Therefore, our organization
has never INDUCED in the practice of
button-holing members of Congress
and taking up their time uselessly,
time which, when business is so
pressing in Congress. necessarily is
valuable to the nation at large. The
only thing we have done has been to
send to the members of the House
two pamphlets setting forth argu
ment against woman suffrage which
are unanswerable."
Mrs. Dodge said that the suffragists
admitted that the resolution would be
defeated. "The only thing at all un-
certain is how big our vote will be.
she added "The poll of the House,
which was taken for us, and the per
sonal assurances and telephone mes
sages we have had from members
of Congress since our arrival here
convince us that we will have far
more than two-thirds vote against
the woman suffrage propaganda

The Fortnightly meeting OF Satur

ed that reciprocity between the
Bennington and North Ad-

established. The paper OF the
afternoon was reveiw of the recent
biennial at Chicago, written by a
former member of the Monday club,
now living there, and read by Mrs. N

an unusual setting Of that great con-
