the annual convention of the National
American Woman Suffrage association.

| Immediately the 1000 women present

stiIl present declared: "We have waited
long enough to get the vote. We want

administration"
| Again the great audience OF women
stood and cheered, waving handkerchiefs.
The presidents. pledge OF support to
the suffrage question caused Mrs. Carrie

The women in their speech also failed
to mention the question of method.
The president was warmly applauded
before, during and after his speech. With
Mrs Wilson he sat during several ad
dresses Fears expressed before the meet
ing that he might be "heckled" did not
materialize. AT the conclusion of his ad
dress Mrs. Gait thanked him for speak

Declaring that sometimes he became
"a little impatient" over discussions about |
the channels through which votes for
women are to come, the president caused !
the delegates to applaud by saying. Il |

IN GREAT CONFLICT.
Rumania and Central Powers Clash or
Wide Front.

London. Sept 9.-Rumania, which en-
tered the European war less than TIVE
weeks ago, is now the scene of great
battle between Russo -Rumanian force:
and the armies of the central powers
The southern part of Dobrudja, or east
ern Rumania has become a fighting
ground and the opposing armies are en-.
gagged from the Black sea to the Danube
along front of about 70 miles.
Bulgarian and Turkish troops, advanc-
ing along the Black sea coast, have oc-
cupied Batljk and two other seaports,
Sofia reports, and the fortress OF
Oobritch, or Bazardiik, so miles souths
east of Bucharest, has been taken by a
combined Bulgar German force. The
armies of the central powers have not
yet crossed the Danube, all reports agree.
The Rumanians continue their often
sive in eastern Pennsylvania and also
have occupied the important town of
Orsova on the Danube, above the Iron
Gate. Advancing from Csik Szereda, in
Transylvania north of Kronstadt, the
Rumanians are driving westward and
Vienna admits the withdrawal of Aus
trian forces before attacks against Har-
gitta.
The Russians on the northern end of
their line near Riga have commenced
new undertaking and have crossed the
Dvina north of Dvinsk. Repeated efforts
by the Germans to dislodge them, Petro-
grad declares, have been unsuccessful.
In eastern Galicia the Austro- Germans
are fighting desperately to hold back the
Russians advancing on Halicz, southeast
of Lemberg. Petrograd says the Austro-
German forces have fallen back to the
western bank of the Gnita Lipa, while
Vienna asserts that the troops of the
central powers are holding their own in
the heavy fighting that is going on. Rus
sian attacks against German positions
on the Ziota Lipa, southeast of Brzezany,
failed with heavy losses, Berlin reports
