in his place"
The efforts of Miss Alice Carpenter
of the Roosevelt Woman's league, and
Elizabeth Reed of the Hughes Wom
ans Alliance to obtain passage of reso'
lutions pledging the Woman's party
support to the republican nominee seem
eu bound to fail Miss Alice Paul,
founder of the party and the confer
ence, said that while all voting women
must hope for Hughes election the Wo-
mans party would be more powerful
in this campaign il non'partisan and
independent.
"By showing the republicans we can
defeat the democrats with our votes in
the 12 suffrage states" said Miss Paul,
"we would also show the republicans
that we are powerful enough to endan'
ger their chances of reelection If they
refuse to adopt the Anthony amend
ment. Fear is greater weapon in
politics than gratitude
The opposition to the Endorsement OF
Hughes, led by Miss Paul, was pre-
liminary skirmish in the appointment
OF the resolutions committee.

The western front has been compare
lively quiet for the past "a hours,
though the British war office this after
noon announced slight additional gains
northwest of Pozieres and near Bazen-
tin-Le- Petit. Rome dispatches also an
nounced further progress in the fight
ing around GOritz.
No important fighting has occurred
on the Balkan front since last Decem-
Der, when the Anglo-French expedition
ary forces under General Sarrail, retired
from southern Serbia under heavy pres
sure by superior forces of Austro-Ger-
mans and Bulgars.
The fighting at Doiran officially an
nounced today is the most important
Balkan engagement since the allied re-
treat. Whether it marks the actual be-
ginning of the offensive by the British,
French and the reequipped Serbian
army is not yet definitely known.
Recent reports from Athens stated
that very large part of the Austro-
German troops that defended the Bal
kan line had been withdrawn because
of the pressure of allied troops on other
fronts.
The Bulgars, it was reported. had TAX

due to the war in EUROPE said the

"It certainly is the part of wisdom
to conserve such wheat supplies as we
have. If no relief is afforded by the

" be considerable increase in the cost
of bread. " T."
"In the name of 100000 users of

BOYS ARE
ANGU|SH|NG FOR PAY
Have Not Been Paid for
Seven Weeks and Many
Are Broke

Headquarters Washington National
Guard, Calexico, Cal, Aug. 11.-North-
western troopers of the Oregon and
Washington militia who, day by day are
learning to be better soldiers, are also
learning what it is to be poor. And
many agree that it s what Sherman said
war was.
Many guardsmen for the first time in
their lives feel the pangs of poverty.
The military camps here are 'broke "
because their pay is still tangled in red
tape. Uncle Sam owes them for two
months work, lacking just eight days.
Financial straits are producing some
queer results at the camps here. Some
far sighted troopers, with their last few
dollars invested in tobacco are using
"smokes" of any description as legal
tender. A nickel cigar will do the work
of dime almost anywhere within the
soldiery realm.
The continued presence of the wolf at
the door is getting on the soldiers
nerves. Colonel William Ingles, COM
mander of the Second infantry, Wash
ington National Guard, is understood TO
have dispatched protest to the war de-
partment.
Company F, Washington, Infantry
will be one of the smallest company
units along the border when school op.

raise the price of bread, were made
here today by the National House
wives League when instructions were
sent to the league officers in every
state in the union to Investigate local
conditions and arouse public sentiment
against the proposed action.
"Bread is the food of the rich and
poor alike and any increase in price is
going to result in hardships which we
will mot permit without protest, -

the league which includes 100000 mem
bers.
