MAY NEVER PROTEST SINKING
That Austrian Submarine Sank
British Liner "Persia."

Washington, Jan. 7. - The United
States may never protest the sinking
of the British liner Persia.
Only on startlingly frank opinion
by Austria that submarine flying
her flag deliberately torpedoed the
Persia without warning, two high
state department officials declared,
could an American protest be made.
Such an admission, unless accom-
panied by unquestionable evidence
that submarine attack was justified,
would mean a virtual remuneration of
the last Austrian note on the Ancona
sinking, in which Austria conceded
every American demand.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-An attempted 81

by members of the National Women q

President Wilson was seated in an

when the demonstration started, but
passed into the building and was not
a witness to the scene that followed.
Shouting "Shame!" "Disgrace!"

women were knocked down and nearly
all were roughly handled, especially
those who strove to retain their ban

The excitement continued until all
the banners had been seized. With
