NAVAL RESERWSTS
ATTACK SUFFRAGE
BANNER BEARERS

Members OF the United States Naval
Reserve took over the task today of
/ stopping suffrage picketing of the
White House. Before the young men
in white duck uniforms had finished
their work. William Bayard Hale. for
mer American special envoy to
laexico. was roughly handled by =
mob, eleven suffrage banners were
torn to ribbons and Miss Alice Paul,
leader OF the National Woman's
Party, had been dragged along the
White House sidewalk.
Today's mobbing was carried on
without restraint. Detectives and po-
licemen watched from the rear of the
crowd while banners were snatched
from the women and torn to ribbons
by scores OF young men and boys.
Only one attempt was made to quell
the rioting. This was made by a pre-
cinct detective. Two men, a sailor
named ]. L. Lyons, attached to the
Louisiana, and a naval reservist,
named Barr, were taken to the Third
precinct station and were later re-
leased without having to deposit bail.
The suffragettes took up their stand
at the White House gates at II
o'clock. Within ten minutes, a sailor
snatched down the first banner from
Miss Elizabeth Stuyvesant, OF New
York.
A few minutes later, her companion
picket, Miss Maud Jamison, OF VIZ
ginia, lost hers at the hands OF q ma
val reservist. Then the crowd, seeing
that IL could act with impunity, cen
tered its attention on Miss Katherine
Morey and Miss Lucy Burns at the
west gate.
Gangs OF young hoodlums. including
negroes, pressed against the women,
hurled epithets and trash at them and
snatched at the ribbons across their
shoulders. Even anti-suffrage spec
tators in the crowd were Indignant at
the treatment accorded the pickets.
In successive attempts to rush ban
ners to pickets, relay after relay of
women was attacked on the street
and banners torn away. A crowd
gathered in front OF Cameron House
and shouted through the open win
dows at the women inside.
One group OF boys tried to tear
down the suffrage flag from above
the doorway of Cameron House but
was prevented by a policeman But
the worst of the disorder came when
the gangs of boys discovered that
they could sell fragments of the ban
ners for from 10 cents to IS cents
per fragment
Hale was roughly handled by the
mob when he stopped and expressed
sympathy with one Of the pickets.

RUSSIANS HALT
GERMAN ADVANCE
ON THREE FRONTS

The Russians have halted the Ger
man offensive in Galicia, the southern
Carpathians and Roumania, cables to
the embassy here said today.
An intense battle is raging near
Brody, in Galicia, with the Germans
attacking fiercely and the Russians
holding firmly. A considerable weak.
onfng OF the German attack in the
Pouthern Carpathians and Roumania
was indicted.
The reasons given were lack of re-
serves. The cable stated that unless
the Germans withdraw troops from
other fronts, 1t will be hardly possible
for them to retain the new lines in

Ordinary Nuxated Iron VIII Make Del

Most people foOlishly seem to think

and true strength can only come from
the food you eat. But people often
fail to get the strength out OF their
food because they haven't enough iron
in their blood to enable IL to change
food into living matter. From their
weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong but they
can't tell what. so they generally com

Next take two five grain tablets Of

LET'S SHOW THE KAISER WE ARE
STANDING BACK OF THE u. s.
GOVERNMENT.

The subscription to the 2,000,000,00C
u. s. Liberty loan bonds formally closes
on June 10, leaving just week in which
to make your Americanism count. 1t is
imperatiyely necessary that the bonds be
fully subscribed in order that the Ger
man people may have the object lesson
of tremendous wealthy nations finan-
| cial resources directed in prosecution OF
the war against the Prussian autocracy.
We are not deluded by the idea that the
government at Berlin will be frightened
by the vast outpouring of money against
them, because the Prussian regime has
been up against some far more serious
manifestations than that since the for
tunes OF war began to turn in favor OF
their enemies; but we are convinced that
the American people can show the kaiser
and his advisers that they are with the
United States government to the extent
of twenty-five billions if such an amount
is necessary to accomplish the aims OF
the government 1t has seemed to be the
general notion in Berlin governmental
circles that the United States govern
ment has been bluffiing and that, start
ing action, it had not enlisted the sup
port of the people, nor even sized up the
sentiment of the nation, before the form
al declaration last April. Therefore, i'll
is very essential that an object lesson of
American adherence and steadfastness be
furnished to the kaiser ct al. In no bet
ter way can we furnish that object lesson
than by making this Liberty loan sub
scription one of very widespread proper
tions, going into every hamlet and village
in the United States and including all the
people, men, women and children. The
total number of subscribers will be fully
as convincing as the size Of the subserip-
ton, or over subscription, as the case
may be. Every man, woman and child OF
the thinking age should take it upon
himself to aid in the popularizing OF this
loan to the United States government. |
Make it as general as possible. There Is
a week in which to subscribe before the
books are formally closed. Go at once to
your banker and make known your de-
sire to subscribe for one or more bonds.
Your banker will tell you that you are
merely required to pay down per cent
Of the bonds you subscribe to, the re
mainder being due at stated intervals
named by the government. Go to your
bank to-day or tomorrow.
