White Supremacy in South
to Be Assured by Suffrage
Special to the Telegraph

Washington, Aug. 9.-Maintenance
of white supremacy in the South is
dependent on the enfranchisement OF
Southern women. according to Mrs.
Helena Hill Weed, research chairman
of the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage, who offered statistics to
prove it.
This was in answer to a statement
which President Wilson is reported
to have made to a group of Demo
cratic women who called on him re-
Gently at the White House to the effect
that it was not the question of State
rights, but the negro problem that
kept him from declaring for Federal
woman suffrage.

suffered so frightfully from thirst that
they, killed their camels and drank
the blood.
The prisoners says the Turkish los
ses were exceedingly heavy as they
attacked in mass formation in ignor-
ance of the strong defenses of the
British. The devastating machine
gun fire with which the assault was
met was the first indication the pri-
Yates had of the task that confronted
them. According to one of the troop
ers, a Turkish detachment which sur
rendered, first killed their German Of

Rome, Aug. 8. - The successes won
by the Italians on the Isonzo front are

Although the news is received with
great satisfaction it had been long ex-

nor have there been any unusual
public demonstrations. The attack
was to have been inaugurated earlier
in the summer but was delayed by
