"l5-Tne third way in which find
our navy deficient In in training This
deficiency In training is due not to
lack OF spirit or ability. but to COM
bination Of the two preceding causes
that is, to insufficient personnel and
lack OF departmental organization, to
which must he added lack OF small
ships. ! mean that because We have
not had enough small ships to do work
on the coasts of Hayti, Santo Domingo
and Mexico. because our ships have
been insutticenty manned and because
the Navy Department has had no Gen
eral staff which would devise and
carry out a progressive system Of train
ing. lack of progressive training has
resulted.
when say lack of progressive train
ing | mean lack Of training such as the
Germans and other nations have.
mean lack OF training that secures q
nigh degree OF skin. II We are forced
into war with navy like Gernanys or
Engands OF Japans our training should
be at least as good as theirs or rather
our skill should be,
1T is impossible for me or for any
body to compare exactly the skill OF our
navy with the skill Of other navie~, but
on the theory that cause produces ef-
feci We inu,t admit that We hay. 40;
had nearly 50 good system to pro-
ducc skill as other navies have. The
developing OF skill in the navies and
armies of the other great Powers Ia
carried out with vigor and persist
ency that we cannot approach and has
been directed ny an organized intelli-
gence that certainly has no superior and
probably M equal in any other branch
Of human effort.
"l6--The subject Of the improper or
ganizatiOn of our Navy Department was
exhaustively analysed by tho Moody
board ana afterward by tine Swift board
I'm 1903. Certain recommends tons
were made to remedy the evils that they
found. Those recommendations have
not been carried out.

Suffragists' Hat In the Ring;
Plan National Convention
Woman Voters Party VIII Meet in Chicago While Republi-
cans Are in Session-Will Use Feminine Vote as
Club to Secure Nationwide Suffrage

to the party opposing the passage of the
nationwide suffrage measure.
Three hundred women from the
Eastern States filled the assembly
room at the headquarters of the or
ganization when Mrs John Rogers, Of
New York. scalled the conference to
order yesterday afternoon. The
speakers were Miss Anne Martin, of
Nevada, national legislative chair
man; Miss Lucy Burns, national vice
chairman. and Miss Alice Paul, ma
tional chairman.
Speaking of the attitude of the
present administration toward the
suffrage amendment. Miss Burns de-
clared that the behavior Of the Demo-
cratic party, IL continued. would cer-
tainly ALLEVIATE the support of the
women voters of the West In the No
vember elections.
A unique feature of the evening
session was the discussion of the
question, Women Voters Attitude
Toward the Appeal of Eastern Sufrra-
gists," by a group of Western wom-
en-. including Mrs. William Kent and
Miss Maud Younger, of California;
DR.. Cora Smith King. of Washington
State, and Mrs. s. B. NJ. Young, of
Montana.
Resolutions were adopted to be car
ried to the women voters. asking for
their help in securing nation wide
suffrage. Hundreds OF resolutions
from women's organizations in the
East to similar organizations in the
West, asking for assistance in secur-
Ing the vote, were read.
The Washington herald., 1916-04-09

Sufragists have thrown their hats IN
the ring and from now until June they
will be busy making preparations for a
great woman voters convention to be
held in Chicago at the same time the
Republican and Progressive parties hold
their conventions. This announcement
was made at the opening session OF the
advisory council conference yesterday
afternoon at the national headquarters
Of the Congressional Union.
Women from many Eastern States
were present and took part In the discus
sion relative to the formation of a
Woman Voters Party to press for the
immediate passage OF the Susan B. An
thony amendment enfranchising all
women. The Chicago convention will be
held for the purpose of determining the
best means by which the vote Of the
women in the enfranehised territory can
be used in order TO put the amendment
through.
In order to complete the formation of
the party the union is sending twenty
five envoys on tour through the twelve
free States. The Suffrage Special" will
leave Washington this afternoon at 6:l5
o'clock, following a farewell luncheon
at headquarters. Covers will be laid for
200 guests. The toastmistress will be
Mrs. J. A. H. Hopkins. OF Morristown,
n. ].
The object of the Western invasion is
to consolidate the suffragists in the
twelve free States into a group that will
fight for the immediate passage of the
Federal amendment and refuse support

mo one questions the fact that our
food consumption per capita Is larger
than that of any other country, and
nearly twice that Of thrifty France. The
way to lessen these evils Is to provide
an annual appropriation for agricul-
tural experiment stations to be used in
researches and experiments in home
economies; and IL this step is taken by
Congress II will not be many years un-

Worlds Worst Woes Come From Poorly
Cooked Foods, Declares Senator Smoot

Senator Reed Smoot, recognized au-
thority in the Senate on tariff and finance,
appeared in a new role yesterday when
in a speech he advocated national pre-
paredness' in home economics The Sem
ator agreed with the poet who wrote,
Civilized men cannot live without
cooks" .
Il for one believe" observed Mr.. Smoot,
that much Of the worlds poverty, mis-
cry, drunkenness and disease comes from
poorly prepared food. II is a crime and
wicked in the sight of God to have the
products Of the farm made next to use
less by poor cooking. Tens Of thousands $
of homes are ruined by helpless and ig-
norant housekeepers and the American
garbage can Is the fattest In the world
