LONDON, Jan 18.-The Posts
Washington correspondent, in a Lon
don dispatch, discusses the blockade
problem, publishing parallel columns
showing the 1913 and 1915 exports

flour, bacon, cotton and automobiles
as evidence that the BLOCKADE of
Germany has been nullified and the
powerful British navy destroyed by

The Post, commenting on the dis
patch, says:
THE situation shown in the figures
from Washington is that during the
vhc,e course Of the war Germany has
been permitted to import through
neutrals essential supplies to an
amount greater than in times of
peace. Has the foreign office been
aware of these things? If not it is
dangerously incompetent"
The following are some of the fig
ures contained in the Washington dis
patch: Wheat from the United States

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Illinois is to be

bition issue by the Anti-Saloon league
The league will head it's list of de-
mands from the new legislature with
a bill for an act submitting to a state
wide vote-with the women voting
this question:
Shall this state of Illinois become
anti-saloon territory"
The Anti-Sa1oon league insists that
candidates for the general assembly
shall endorse this plank in their plat
forms, and that the date for the refer
endum vote shall be November, 1918,
simultaneously with the election for
a United States senator to succeed
Senator James Hamilton Lewis.
This latter condition might be
changed during the legislative session
by substituting 1917 for 1918. upon
strength of the possibility that the
Billy Sunday meetings in Chicago will
be scheduled for 1917

ent of the league, made the announce

board had determined by resolution to
make a statewide referendum on the
saloon question the headliner of the
coming legislative campaign.

The situation is precisely this" Mr..

when we must make our decisive bat
tie at Springfield for a county option

ton have been able to defeat us in
past legislative sessions.
I'VE now propose, at the unanimous

insistenCe of downstate territory, that
If Chicago and Peoria refuse to give
downstate counties the right to rid
themselves OF saloons, we shall force
a statewide vote, whereby the down
state can get action and eliminate sa-
looms.
We propose to do this by the sim
pie and practical method of submit
ting the question OF a statewide anti

the state, in which the women will
have the right to vote.

I'VE shall insist women do have the

that right in township option cleo
tions. AS legislative proposition, the
test will come when, on second read
ing. the vets unQuestionably will at
tempt to eliminate from our bill the
section which would qualify women
voters.
Frankly, we do not believe Illinois
would vote dry with men alone vot-
ing. We are absolutely positive the
state will vote dry If women vote If
the vets should succeed in cutting
out women, we should not press the
bill for passage"
Club for County Option Law.
Mr. Mcbride said the passage of a
county option bill would operate to
end fight to push a statewide op-
ton bill-in other words, the state
wide option proposition is a club to be
used to drive through county option.

MRS. GEORGE BASS AT THE HELM

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Without blare of
bands or flourish of trumpets, the
most significant advance in the history
of women in American national poll
tics was begun this week in Chicago
when Mrs. George Bass, chairman of
the woman's bureau of the western
division of the democratic national
campaign committee, opened her head
quarters in the Karpen building.
For the first time in the political
history of the United States woman
has taken official place in party cOun-
ellis and held unlimited power in the
operation of a campaign bureau. With
the opening of the bureau, Mrs. Bass
assumes a position unique in political
annals, undertaking the work of the
organization of the women of II states
who have the power to vote.
Mrs Bass activities will extend
over the - states where women vote
for electors, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Nevada,
oregon, Wyoming, California, Wash
ington and Utah. 1t will be her task
to organize the women voters of these
states in the cause of the democratic
party and to conduct a campaign de-
signed to interest women, a work that
should be facilitated by her success
full experience in the work she has
already accomplished in the cause of
wOmankind.
Mrs Bass. who brings to the post a
record of long and efficient service in
the woman movement of the country,
including the presidency of the Chi
cago Woman's club, through a period
of extraordinary social service in that
organization, has been associated with
nearly all the progressive activities of

Then the city purchased the site at

Immediately following protests were
