Debate on Woman suffraqe.

A large audience should be present at Slater hall on Friday evening when at eight o'clock MT. TirreI will intro duce the speakers of the evening. In the debate which follows, the affirma- tive side will be taken by Mrs. Thom- as N. Hepburn. of Hartford, while MT. Charles L. Underhill of Somerville, Massachusetts, will argue the negative. To many in Norwich, Mrs. Hepburn needs no introduction. As president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage as- sociation, she has spoken here. She has been much in demand in debates in New York and New Jersey as well as her home state. MT. Underhill has served his state as representative for many years and has many admirable measures to his credit. It is a rare opportunity for the people of Norwich to hear the question of woman suf- frage fairly presented from both points of view. At the close of the de- bate, the speakers are not only willing to answer questions, but urge that such questions be presented.

istry, commands more interest here
from the strictly American point of
view than any other phase of the pre-
mier's speech. What effect it would
have on American foreign trade and
on the status of British ships sunk by
German submarines has opened new
and unexpected series of questions
which officials regard with much con-
Germ. The taking into the national SER
vice of the whole mercantile marine

nouncement that she could not guar
antee coal at any of her coaling bases.
the world over except to ships con-
serving allied interests Is thought by
officials at first glance to turn over
the great majority of the worlds car
rying trade to specific war purposes
The effect on commerce for American
purposes and not of service to the al
lies is problematical, especially as to
the completeness with which Lloyd
George enforces the order. Neverthe-
less there Is in law nothing the Unit
ed States can do should the whole
British merchant marine be withdrawn
from American trade and harsors.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Sharp contro-

at hearings before committees Of both
the House and Senate.
CrOsS-Examine Scott

Major Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief Of
staff, encountered vigorous cross-ex-
animation by several members of the
House military committee when he
touched upon results of the mobiliza-
ton Of the state troops for border du-
ty as shown in the general staff re-
port based on information furnished
by regular army inspectors. Conclu-
sions drawn from the figures to sup
port the contention that the guard
system is inefficient and unreliable
were promptly questioned and it was
indicated that the head of the army
would face searching questioning to-
