SUFFRAGE MEETS IT'S

Amendment Rejected in
House Of Delegates by
Vote of So to 40.

For the third time in the his

suffrage hosts Of Virginia came
to Capitol Hill yesterday to'ask
the lawmakers to approve an
amendment to the Constitution
comforting upon the women of

the ballot. Likewise for the
third time the lawmakers Of the
lower house answered mo" to
their plea.
But, unlike the first two
times, the House Of Delegates
refused this time in a hating
manner. In 1912, when the
women invaded the precincts
of the CAPITOL for the first time,
the House rejected the suffrage
with only AIN even
dozen votes favoring its ratiti

ENGLAND DENIES GERMAN REPORT
  British Government Issues Official Denial that She Is Seeking Separate Terms of Peace.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The British government has issued an official de- nial of the report sent out from Der lin stating that Britain was seeking terms upon which separate peace could be made and that she planned to desert her allies in the war. The British statement is to the effect that England Is in the war to the bitter end and that she will make no peace until Germany has been humbled and forced to withdraw within her borders IS before the beginning of hostilities.
 It is believed here that the false re- port has been sent out by Germany for the AAct it might have upon Ru- mania and in the hope of inducing that country to join with the central European powers. The Austrian troops in eastern Galicia are being hard pressed by the Russians and the Teutons realize that should Rumanfa enter the war on their side that Rus sia would be forced to abandon her southern campaign.
 In contradiction of the German re- port Lord Kitchener has stated that Great Britain will have new army of four million men to put into the field at an early date next spring when the various campaigns in which the British are engaged will be prose cuted with greater vigor than ever.

AS soon as the steamer neared the liner canvas was removed from a false forecastle and 1t was seen that she was heavily armed.
 The Appam carried five hundre.! thousand pounds of bullion in addi- tion to other valuable cargo and whf I, the German raider had effected her capture the valuables were transfer ed from the liner to the steamer which had captured her.
