SUFFRAGISTSARE
READY FOR FINAL
DRIVE IN CONGRESS

Plans for the big suffrage drive for
the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution were practically completed
at today's session of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton at Polls Theater. State delega-
tions will devote the whole of tomor-
row morning to visits to their State
Congressional delegations.
The most important question that
will come before the convention and
one which may develop a hot fight, is
whether the association will, in case
he fight for the amendment is lost in
Congress, go into the Congressional
districts and seek election OF Congress
sional representative who are openly
in favor Of suffrage, or whether the
state right suffrage advocates will
prevail upon the convention to carry
the fight into the State campaigns.
Miss Rose Young, chairman Of the
publicity committee, said today that
the convention will recommend to
suffragists throughout the country an
anti-AdministratiOn policy toward all
members Of the House and Senate
who vote against the suffrage amend
ment: not because OF any lack of pa
triotism, but because the suffrage
party felt that the men who had
voted against the amendment should
not get another chance. even II 1t were
noce- sary to seek the election OF new
representatives who were not openly in
favor Of national suffrage for women.
$50 long as the vote is denied us"
said Miss Young, I'VE are anti-Admin-
istratiOn. and will continue To- be so
until We are allowed to take a part in
the Government Of the country"

BOND PROGRAM
FOR WAR REVENUE
HAS OPPOSITION

Congress is set against Secretary
of the Treasury SIcAdoo's program OF
no tax legislation at this session. A
majority in both Houses believe the
war revenue bill passed at the last
session must be amended in a num-
ber of ways.
The consideration which probably
will save the revenue law from be-
ing entirely rebuilt Is that business
would be thrown OF its stride by too
radical action following legislation to
which it has not yet adjusted itself.
Representative Kitchin, Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
today definitely refused to endorse
McAdoo's program OF financing 1918
and 1919 by bonds alone. Kitchin
declared there must be tax legisla-
ton. Senator Simmons, Senate FL
nance Committee chairman. said: at
IS too early to say whether we can
carry through this year and next on
bonds or not"
Wealth conscriptionists in both
Houses are maturing plans to demand
higher levies on war profits. and more
drastic provisions to prevent evasions
of the excess profits tax.
Evasion appears to me the only
cause for fear that the law will not
produce much more than We had
hoped for it," said Simmons.

TOVON BERNSTORFF
Of GIRL He ADOPTED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE
recent marriage in Berlin OF Marguer-
lite Vivian Burton to a son OF former
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, which
has just been made known in this

lite and her sister, who now resides in
Denver. Colo.
This is the third marriage OF Miss
Burton. She was born in Virginia

Of her mother she was adopted by
Mrs. Thomson. Her first husband
was James II. Birch, jr., OF Burling-
ton, y. J., and her second Count Wal
ter Won Roedeck, an attache OF the
German embassy in London.
For the past six years Mrs. Roe
deck has made her home in Berlin.
Count Christian Gunther Won Bern
storff is twenty-siX years of age, and
has visited America on two occas-
ions, and was at one time connected
with a New York banking house.

Mr.. Thomson, when told Of the mar
riage. Won Bernstorff may. be Mar
guerite's idea, but one must bear in
mind that he is a German and our
enemy now" He made no attempt
to conceal his disapproval OF the mar
riage. ..
"Of course, there is nothing to do
but to welcome them IL, they return
to America" he continued, but 1
would prefer to welcome them after
the war is over; not now"
