London, Oct. 19.-Reginald Mckenns,
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, replying
In the House Of Commons to-day to
criticisms Of the high rate per cent

"That is the very thing we desire

that unless Great Britain was able 10
raise the needed money in the United
States she would have 70 20 snort OF
supplies from there which were abso-
lutely essential to the purposes oil the
Allies.
Defending the issue OF the per cent

fact that within fortnight sloO,ooO'-

BAD BOY INSURANCE
STOPS FALL BONFIRES
Dobbs Ferry Official Pays Re-
wards In Weekly Dimes

Dry weather, falling leaves and the
perennial small boy with his matches
ieopardized the brand new asphalt
pavements Of Dobbs Ferry until ten
DAYS ago. Since then there has not
been a fire kndled in any Of the Sc
ductive leaf piles that border every
street. William Alworth, Commissioner
of Public Works, told why yesterday.
When the autumnal perfume Of
burning leaves and asphalt pervaded
Dobbs Ferry Commissioner Alworth
sailed forth with his mind full OF a
new crime prevention theory and his
rockets full of dimes. The combina-
ton worked to perfection. Every bad
bow in Dobbs Ferry was promised 10
cents a week if he would abstain from
kindling fires on the new pavements
and prevent others from doing It,.
An even dozen of bad boys was found.
So far the Commissioner has been pay
ing the fire prevention insurance out Of
his own pocket, but he thinks it is time
the town started a fund for the pur
pose. The system could be applied 70
other pranks, he thinks, and might di-
minish the number of juvenile delin
quents.

the passengers had been landed at Fall
mouth, and the ship was on her way to
London when she struck.
"The Daily Telegraph" says the loss
on the Alaunia's cargo falls heavily on
American insurance companies, as the
amount placed with the British under
writers was small.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived early yesterday afternoon at the
Offices of the Cunard Line announcing
the sinking Of the Alaunia:
"Alaunia struck mine in English
Channel this morning; sank during

Anti Wilson Women
MObbed in Parade Riot
Bearers Roughly Handled by Crowd Near President
-Demonstration's Leaders Accuse Police

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Chicago sufragists
greeted President Wilson's arrival
here to-day with silent demonstra-
tion" Of protest against his failure to
declare for votes for women. But be-
fore the demonstration was over II
had developed into a near riot
The banners which read Women,
Vote Against Wilson," were torn and
trampled upon and their holders were
handled. The President was
seated in an automobile a few hundred
feet away when the demonstration
started, but was not witness to the
scene that followed.
Shouting "Shamel" "Disgrace!" and
"Get the bannersl" crowd Of several
hundred, sprinkled with women,
charged the banner holders. Umbrel-
las and canes were used in the destruc-
tion OF the placards. Many Of the
women were knocked down and nearly
all were roughly handled, especially
those who strove TO retain their ban
ners.
All Banners Seized
The excitement continued until all
the banners had been seized. With dis
hevelled hair and soiled and torn cloth
ing. the women marched back to their
headquarters until police guard.
Charges that the police sympathized
with the rioters and failed to protect
the women were made by Mrs. Joseph

clubs.

Some didn't seem to want TO help US
saw policemen deliberately stand
near by and laugh while We were be-
ing beaten and the banners torn from
our hands.
"We were merely standing quiet
holding our banners and not harming
any one. Suddenly there was regu-
lar riot. They grabbed our banners
trampled on them and knocked US
down. 1t was terrible"
Compared to Parade
Members Of the Congressional Union
compared the scene at the demUnstra-
tion with the suffrage parade in Wash
ington the day before President Wilson
was inaugurated.
"The dsgraceful attack upon the suf-
frage demonstration is similar to the
attack by mobs upon the great suffrage
parade. Mr.. Wilson is unfortunate that
he runs the risk Of going out Of Office
to the same tune by which he entered,
said Mrs. A. r. Colvin, Minnesota state
chairman of the Congressional Union.
Miss Alice Paul. national chairman OF
the Congressional Union, characterized
it as an attack by Democrats.
"The violent attack by Democrats
upon the demonstration shows the seri-
BUSINESS with which they take our cam
paign," she explained. Evidently they
feel keenly the weakness of President
Wilson's suffrage position when they
resort to such violence to prevent his
hostility to national woman suffrage
being revealed to the people OF Chi
cago."
