Prophecies Shattered.

There we're supposedly wise men In
the senate who predicted within an
hour or two Of the vote on the Gore
resolution, now a matter OF compare
lively recent history. that the affair
was sure to be settled one way be-
cause II could not be settled any 9th.
er way. The prophets saw their
prophecies shattered within fifteen
minutes Of their utterance. Some sen.
ators voted one way or another. and
then made speeches exactly counter
to their votes The whole proceeding
was enough to distract the minds OF
men who tried to get any logical de
duetions from the course of affairs
and from the final vote.
The same condition OF things was
true in the house when the McLemore
resolution finally came under direct
discussion. This was a resolution
also intended to warn Americans from
taking passage on belligerent passen-
ger ships which had guns mounted for
defense. In the house, from hearing
the first speeches. a stranger could not
tell which was the Republican side Of
the chamber and which the Democrat.
ie. No one could get any idea OF
what the outcome was to be. What
has been true OF the matters here dis
cussed is true OF half a dozen other
bills and measures. This year the
leaders Of neither party know in ad-
vance whsther they viii be able to

Cane COD Canal.

An idea of the value Of thu Cape
Cod canal to shipping is given IL the
fact that more than two thousand
i've hundred vessels have passed
through this waterway since II was
opened in the summer Of 1914. each
of these vessels saving something like
seventy miles Of travel and avoiding

The Preparedness Bills.

Take the preparedness bills for in
stance. During the preliminaries OF
the framing of preparedness bills In
house and senate the two committees
of the two bodies charged with the
work of preparing legislation were
shown to be completely at odds with
each other on the matter of the proper
handling of the subject in hand. The
chairman OF the senate committee on
military affairs wanted a continental
army such as had been suggested by
the administration. The leader of the
house committee on military affairs
was utterly opposed to the plan for
q continental army and was In favor
OF a great strengthening of the militia
and a comparatively small increase in
the regular army.
It was impossible for anybody to
tell which of the two men in charge
Of things would give way. Today
both the house and senate have re-
ported military preparedness bills and
while 1t was thoroughly believed at
the outset that they would be radical
ly different in all their provisions
there are some few signs of q
coalescing of views, but the two meas
ures still are almost Numerically op-
posed one to the other.
There will be a compromise of some
kind between house and senate on the
military preparedness bill and 1t fs
perfectly apparent that there must be
compromises between the two houses
on other bills such as those affecting
the navy and on some other matters
Of high importance. In the senate
there are many members who favor
the plan OF the house. So 1t is easy
enough to see how utterly impossible
1t has been and still is for the proph.
cts to foretell accurately the outcome
on these big defense measures.
In the matter OF the resolution warn
ing Americans not to travel on armed
liners belonging to belligerent coun'
tries, the membership in house and
senate has been divided not into par
ties but into groups irrespective oil
party. The divisions in the two
houses show no trace of Republican
ism or Democracy. but are both
marked deeply with the signs of both
parties. Old members say that never
in their memory has there been such
a mixing up Of party friends and
foes on both sides of question as
there has been on this matter which
has created such sensation In the
country.

a general nervous breakdown and an

ardent woman suffrage worker. She
founded the Woman's Tribune, and
carried it on for twenty-five years I'M
assisted. She set the type for the paper
and paid all expenses herself. Mrs.
Colby also was a pioneer in woman's
education. She was among the first
women to take a degree at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and was big fac
tor in having that institution opened to
women. For a short time she also was
teacher of Latin there.
Up to the time of her death Mrs. Colby
worked for woman suffrage. A short
time before she died she wrote an out
line of work in Congress for the next

Thomas Bambrick.

ALBANY, n. Y. September 15-Gov.
Whitman has granted respite until Oc-
tober in the case of Thomas Bambrick.
whose execution at Sing Sing prison for
the murder of Pa trolman George Dapping
of New York last year had been fixed
for this morning. This is the second time
Bambrick has been given respite.
The ordeal of watching tests of the
current after he had been detailed to
aid in adjusting the wires and contacts
of the electric chair led to a statement
by Frank Meehan, Sing Sing convict,
on which was based the respite to Bann-
brick.
Meehan said, according to the authori-
ties, that he witnessed the shooting of
Dapping and that the murderer was not
Bambrick Meehan broke down while

The State Department arranged today
to ask governments of the entente al

The principal obstacle to these ship

allow them, and had assented on con-
