Convention at Atlantic City Opposed to Taking Sides
 in Campaign.
DIVIDED UPON A
 CAMPAIGN PLAN
AeSOcia.i0n Will Continue Efforts to Secure Federal as We'll as State Legislation Granting Suffrage
 to Women.

Atlantic City, x. J., Sept 6-The Ma tonal Woman Suffrage association by an overwhelming vote today decided to continue it's present efforts to se- cure suffrage for women thru both national and state legislation. The vote was taken after long debate, and no sooner had voting ceased than a resolution was presented which threat ems to again reopen the whole ques- tion tomorrow.
 Virtually all the speakers declared for strict neutrality and to continue the non-partisan efforts of the asso- citation to bring about equal suffrage turnout the whole United States.
 Women from forty-one states are attending the convention
 Mrs. Carrie Chaplain Catt, president of the association, presented the reso- 'lution to have an article of the con- stitution interpreted as meaning that the association should concentrate it's efforts on securing national legisla- tion. The resolution was made the special order for il a. m. tomorrow. and Mrs. Catt and other leaders eX- press the conviction that it will be adopted.
 Debate Campaign Plan.
 The momentous question affec' ing the organiza tion came up at the after noon session, when there was a three cornered debate among three promi- nent members of the association. Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky favored drop ming the work on the federal amend ment and confining the associations activities to state legislation.
 Mrs. Ida Husted Harper of New York urged concentrating on the fed eral amendment, while Mrs. Raymond Brown, New York, argued that the present policy of the association to work for woman suffrage "by appro- priate national and state legislation be continued.
 Hughes Endorsement Minimized.
 Mrs. Frank M Roessing of Pitts burg, vice president and chairman of the congressional committee, warned the delegates not to let the cause of equal rights suffer from overcOnfi- dence because Charles B. Hughes, the Republican presidential candidate. had endorsed the fedora Amendment. She drew attention to the fact that the Republican platform did not endorse the federal amendment, and added that this party as an organization had done no more for woman suffrage than the Democratic party. This statement brought forth long ap plause.
 Mrs. Roessing, in her report, declar- ed that the congressional committee had by no means given up hope of convincing President Wilson of the justice of the federal amendment for which the association has been fight ina for 40 years.
 The report favored moving suffrage headquarters from New York to Washington.

 THRU GERMAN LINE
Drive TeutOns from Fortified Positions on ZlOta.Lipa and Dneister Rivers,
 Capturing 4.5O0 Prisoners
 Reports Capture Rumanian Works.
Associated Press Summary

While their compatriots were busy Wednesday north of the Somme ward ing off German counter attacks or engaged in artillery duels, the French south of the river drove their men further into the German lines for note worthy gains.
 In stubborn fighting over a front of IS miles between Vermandovillers and Chilly, the Germans have been forced tc give up their positions and a por- ton of Vermandovillers, while the French have occupied the outskirts of the railway junction town of Chaul- nes, and thrown their forces along the railway running from Chalnes to Rove, between Chaulnes and Chilly.
 To the north the operations of the French, with Barleaux and ultimately Peronne as their objective, met with success. To the south of Beloy-en San terre further German trenches were captured and most of the village of Berny -Santerre fell into French hands Paris says the number of pris- oners apparently was large.
 Berlins admits the loss of Clery, which lies a short distance north of Peronne.
 Russians Drive Forward.
 In Galicia, on the front of the Zlota- Lipa and Daeister rivers, the Rus- sians have driven the Teutons from fortified positions and have taken 4,500 prisoners, among them 200O Germans. Berlins comedies the ad- vance of the Russians in this region
 Violent fighting continues along the Brzevany, southeast Of Lemberg. bu, here Berlin says the Russians have suffered heavy losses and have made no advance. Attacks against Zborow, in Northern Galicia and Volhynia also have failed, according to Berlin.
 Fighting is still going on ia the Carpathians, where the Russians claim the capture of additional heights.
 In the Rumanian theater Germans and Bulgarians are still engaged with the Rumanians in the Dobrugja iron tier east of the Danube, between Bull garia and Rumania. The towns of Islac and Jalafat, on the Danube, have been bombarded by the Teutons.
 The Russians in Turkish Armenia continue their progress against the Turks near Ognott, inflicting heavy casualties according to Petrograd.
 On the Macedonian front only bom- barments are in progress.
 In Albania the Italian advance has been stopped, says Berlin, and the Teutonic allies have recaptured all positions recently taken by the 1tal- ians east of Avlona.
