AS WILLIAM SEES THE BATTLE.
Warm Words Of Prai.,u for the Ger
man Sea Fighters.

Berlin, June Tn the complete
account Of the Emperor's speech to
the sailors Of the fleet at Wilhclms-
haven yesterday, which was publish
ed here to-day, the Emperor l.; quot
ed as saying that the great naval at
tie OFF Jutland has destroyed Great
Britain's supremacy on the sea.
"When the great war came" the
Emperor said, "envious enemies sud
denly attacked the Fatherland. The
army, by desperate fighting against
superior foes, slowly conquered them
one after another. But the fleet
waited in vain for Il real fight. In
numerous individual encounters the
navy clearly demonstrated it's heroic
spirit, but was forced to wait month
after month for general battle.
Repeated efforts were made to
bring the enemy out, but they proved
fruitless until the day finally came
last week when the gigantic fleet Of
Albion, ruler Of the seas since Trafal-
peared in the open surrounded with
nimbus. Instantly our fleet en-
gagged this superior British armada
and with what result? The English
fleet was beaten. The first big blow
was dealt the English feet whose t,-
rannical supremacy was shattered.
"rhis news electrified the world
and caused unprecedented jubilation
everywhere that German hearts beat.
Your success in the North Sea fight
means that you have added new
Cod Almighty steeled your arms and
gave you clear eyes to accomplish
this.
81, standing here to-day as your
supreme war lord. thank you from
the bottom of my heart. AS the rep
rcsentative or the Fatherland, !
thank You, and in the name OF my
army bring You its greetings, be-
cauSc You have done your duty un-
selhshly and only with the one
thought that the enemy must be
beaten.
AT a time when the enemy is
slowly being crushed before Verdun,
and when our allies have driven the
Italians from mountain to mountain,
you added new glories to our cause.
The world was prepared for every
thing, but not for the victory Of the
German fleet over the English. The
start which you have made will cause
fear to creep into the bones Of the
enemy. What you have done you did
for the Fatherland, that in the future
it may have freedom of the seas for
it's commerce. Therefore, I ask you
to join ME in three cheers for our
dearly beloved Fatherland.'

Big Grain Crop Shortage.

Washington, June S.--Present in
dications point to a wheat crop 30O,-
100000 bushels smaller this year
than last year. Department OF Agri-
culture forecasts to-day indicated a
winter wheat crop of 10000, 900
bushels. 100000 bushels less than
forecast from May / conditions, due
largely to insects in Kansas and Ok
lahoma and a spring wheat crop Of
100000 bushels, due to de-
crease OF s per cent in the acreage
from last year and to the late wet
spring.
Indications are that the oat crop
will be about 300,0OO,00O bushels
smaller than last year, being particu-
larly poor in most Southern States.

A WOMAN ON THE WOMAN's PARTY

In the New York Times of July 10Th appears the following inter-
esGng letter, written by Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge of New York, president
prospective numerical strength OF the so-caned Womans party:
ITO the Editor OF the New York Times:
"On behalf of ur organization. and personally, l wish to express APP
probation Of recent editorials in the Times regarding the womans vote
and the Woman's party The Times has presented the facts o admir-
ably that we do not see how the Womans party can continue its bluff
about the women voters But it may be interesting to examine some
of this partys claims in connection with the election figures.
1T is alleged that 100000 women voters can be influenced against
any candidate who opposes a Federal suffrage amendment.
an the first place, there is no probability of SC large a woman's
vote. The total voe for the twelve states where women will vote for
president in 1916 "a only 3,2o5,973 in 1912. This included the womans
vote in six states. In 1914 the total vote for governor or senator in all
these states wa only 3I53,949. This included the womens vote in nine
states.
"The addition that a be expected in 1916 is from the women voters
of Illinois, Montana and Nevada. A generous estimate of this vote
allowing the same proportion of votes cast as among the men-wou1d
be 100000, making the total vote by both sexes in these twelve states
4ss2o49 The women would not cas- half of these votes. perhaps only
a third, as they have never voted in such numbers as the men n any
etate election.
moreover, about onethrd Ct the womens vote will come from
rinois, where the suffrage association Of the state has publicly repudlat-
ed the Womans party A large share will come from California, where
clubwomen recently refused to receive the ENJOYS OF the Congressional
Union.
again, both DR.. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Carrie c. Gait, past anc pres
mt presidents of the National Suffrage association, have condemned the
Woman's party. Mrs. Gait told the Democratic committee that she rep
resented over 90 per cent of the advocates OF woman suffrage in the
country. Undoubtedly she does. Therefore, if the Womans party rep
resents but 10 per cent of the sufragists, and the sufragsts are only 10
per e OF the women-as we have always contended with good reason,
on account of the official suffrage figures and canvasses-then the
Woman's party controls woman in a hundred.
This meal that if women cast 100000 votes in 1916 the Con-
gresGona1 Union stands a fair chance OF getting about 10000 OF them to
vote for Suffrage hrst'
1--WE have too much respect for II sex to believe that more than
two or three out of a hundred could be influenced to change their allie
glance to a party on account OF this question. But let US be generous
and allow them $4,000 controlled women in the west. Is there any can
didate who is afraid of this number. and who would sacrifice the constr
ttutonal right of each state to settle this question for Itself" in order
to get these votes2"
