ACTION
REMEDY REQUIRED
Miss Sarah Grant Says Suffrage Can
Only Be Secured through Amend
ment to the Constitution.

Miss Sarah Grant, suffrage worker,
in an address made last evening at 8
O'Clock at Eighteenth street and Sec
Ond avenue, made an appeal in behalf
Of votes for women. She declared that
suffrage is TO be the predominant is
sue OF the approaching campaign and
that all political parties have come to
recognize its Importance.
She said that suffrage could only be
gained through the passage of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the
federal constitution. She argued that
to attempt to secure it through indi-
vidual state action was not practical
for the reason that in many common
weaIths to amend the constitution is
an almost impossible task, because of
the restrictions imposed.
Miss Grant will conduct a street
meeting in Moline this evening and
then will leave for Monmouth She
will return to this part of the congress
siOnal district later in the campaign.

new CHINA HEAD
BRINGS A CHANGE
Ii Huan- lungs Accession to the
Presidency Works Wonderful AL
teratiOn in Republics Life.

Picking. Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)-Li Yuan-hung's
accession to the presidency has work
ed wonderful change in China The
whole spirit of public life in Picking
| has been altered. Democracy seems
to have come into it's own again. The
new president lives informally at his
! palace outside the forbidden city and
| drives about Picking in an automobile
! with only two soldiers to guard him.
Chinese of all factions have a high
| personal regard for Ii Yuan-hung, and
| his life seems to be in no danger. He
moves about at will and conducts him
| self in a manner which would have
/ been wrolly impossible for Yuan Shi-
kai The lamented president seldom
| left the palace, and was believed to be
in danger, even within its protecting
| walls. He was man Of iron and had
ruled by military power and that
alone. Consequently he had many
bitter enemies and few warm personal
friends. Even his closet advisers ad-
mired him more for his power than
for any personal charm.
Ii Yuan-hung is a Christian, a com
municant of the Roman Catholic
church, and has always been strongly
opposed to the connection of church
and state. He has at different times
openly opposed efforts to make Con-
fucianism the state religion of China
and stands for absolute religious free
dom in the republic.
Until 1911 Ii Yuan-hung was little
known in China. He was born in HUI
peh province in 1864, studied for six
years at the Peiyang Naval college and
served on cruiser during the Chino
J Isavn
| tered military service at Marking, and
later went to Wuchang, where he as
sisted in the organization of modern
troops under Viceroy Chang Chin
tung. For two years he studied forth
| ticationS in Japan and on his return
home became a major in the cavalry.
His service was chiefly at Wuchang
the capital of Hupeh province, which
lies on the Yang-tse river Immediately
opposite the important commercial
city of Hankow.
Ii Yuan-hung sprang into national
fame as commandant of the revolu
tiOnary forces at Wuchang in 1911.
He was the chief leader in arranging
for the Shanghai peace conference,
and after the abdication of the Man
chus was elected vice president of the
republic. He was reelected vice pres
ident Oct. 7, 1913.
Ii Yuan-hung's popularity with the
masses was in no way diminished by
his service under Yuan Shi-kai. AL
though he and the late president had
been intimate friends for years, Ii
Yuan-hung absolutely refused TO en-
dorse Yuan Shi-kai's monarchial
movement. and declined all imperial
honors which Yuan Shi-kai attempted
to heap upon him. The late president
issued edicts making Ii Yuan-hung a
prince and comforting great wealth
upon him. Ii Yuan-hung absolutely
declined to accept such honors, and
repeatedly expressed his disapproyal
of all plans to abandon the republic.
He was finally permitted to move
without the forbidden city, and for

DANISH SOCIALISTS
FAVOR ISLAND SALE

Copenhagen, via London, Aug. 10,
(8:20 a. M - The socialist party
adopted a resolution in a caucus to-
day expressing its willingness TO be
represented in a coalition cabinet in
order not TO prevent the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the United
States. 1t was stipulated in the reso-
luton, however, that this action would
be taken only on condition that the
home and foreign defense policy of the
new cabinet should remain unchanged.
AS the opposition, the conservative
and left parties, is unwilling 10 cap
this condition, this means that coali-
ton ministry is impossible.
The formation of coalition cabinet
represents the various Danish parties
was suggested by the Danish premier,
to avoid the holding of general cleo
tions for both houses of parliament
and to enable the government to hold
a plebescite on the question of the sale
of the island. A member of the gov
eminent party has asserted that the
holding of general election would de-
lay ratification of the treaty with the
United States three months or more.

What one sees in the way of de-
stTuctiOn is the work of the fast tor
pedO-destrOyers. which have on Occa-
sion hailed smaller shells on the
coastal towns with their quick firing
guns. The corners of houses are
gnawed away: here and there a gable
exhibits great holes. But the damage
is not very bad, at least not in Ostend
and Zeebrugge, much less than one
would have supposed. Even on the
seaside the towns appear to be little
damaged. The big bath hotel at Os-
tend is untouched and the great glass
kurhaus shows no breakage in its in
Vulnerable panes. A few big build
ings by Zeebrugge have been leveled
TO the ground, but that was the work
of the Germans, owing to the fact that
these buildings helped to direct the
enemy's fire on the occasions when he
sought to destry the most susceptible
feature of the harbor, the big lock.
The real work of destruction be-
gins where the French land guns have
been able to have their say. Middel-
kerke is a mass of ruins. It is a re
markable fact that 600 people con-
tinue to crouch there. The school is
even still attended by so children. But
every house has its underground ref
uge, such Is the soldiers construct in
the front lines. Shells still fall in the
place almost daily.
"MiddelkeTke is now in such state
that the Germans no longer take up
quarters there. but prefer to live in
dwelling holes burrOwed in the dunes.
Some streets always lie open to the
French observers and gunneTs. Long

CHAMP CLARK OPENS
UP DEMOS CAMPAIGN

Brunswick, Maine, Aug. 19.-Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, opened the campaign in
Maine for the democrats today in a
characteristic speech, in which he told
of the accomplishments of the admin
istration and congress under the lead
ership of President Wilson. He also
took note OF the campaign tour
Charles r. Hughes is making in behalf
of his candidacy for the presidency.
Mr. Hughes. he said, had thus far
made enough speeches to enable peo-
pie to form judgment as to his opin
ions on current issues, and in the
speakers opinion "he has shot his
bolt, but failed to hit the bull's-eye."
