To L 7 WOMEN
Of PORTO RICO
HOLD OFFICES

lHy Associated Press to The lIanncrl
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept GA
bin designed to give Porto Rican wo-
men the right TO hold Office but not to
vote has been introduced in the house
of representatives by Fulgoncio PIN
cro, Jr., and Antonio Pinero, Unionists,
and has had its first reading.
Mrs. Ana EuprcN founder of the
SuIlrapisl League of Porto Rico, an
nounccd after conference with the
former legislator that she informed
him dhat the women of Porto Rico OBJ
icctod to the measure and that If 1t
became law in its present form
there would burst over his head and
the head OF his party such II storm of
righteous feminine Indignation that 1t
would be long time before they re
covered from it," Predicting that the
bH, would net come up for a second
roadii &, Mrs, Duprcy said;
"Therr are two things we are de
ternined to have: suffrage restriction
to litcratc women and the right both to
vote and 10 hold office. As the Pinero
bin row stands IT would only place the
women of Porto Rico in tho most de
graded kind of politics instead of Civ
ing them an opportunity to show their
capabilty and patriotism,'
A senate bin provides that women OF
Porto Rico may both vote and hold
ollicc.

WARTIME MOURNING.
Plea That It Be Dropped to Ease De-
preston and Cost of Fabric.


The developments in France must
bring home to every citizen of this
country the approach Of the days when
Americans will scan the casualty lists
with sinking Of the heart
The present, therefore, is a fitting
time for Americans to consider what
action they will take when the news,
terribly sad yet not unrelieved by
pride, shall come to them of the fact
that one who Is near and dear has of
fcred on the altar of his country the
supreme sacrifice,
In ordinary times it is our right and
custom to make known our bereave-
mcnt to the world by n change of cos
tune. Heretofore we have put off the
gay habilimcnts Of ordinary wear and
have put on those signs of mourning
that, as we have believed, show respect
for the loved ones we have lost. But
while we are at war, why, it may well
be asked, should we take any action
that will tend to depress our neigh
bOrs, deter Others from making the sac
rilicc we have made, discourage new
uuulllpllS " lllt utlllCltN VI
dcmocracy's defenders and give aid
and comfort TO its Notwithstanding
our own misguided citizens who are
secret allies of the government with
which we are at war?
We cannot win the war by wearing
Grape. Instead Of spreading dcpres-
sion, creating discouragcmcnt, 1t is our
duty to maintain high heart, TO vital
ize tbe fighting spirit, to do all that
lies in our power to keep our country
In trim for the further efforts and
/ trials that it must face before final vic
tory.
Holding these views, yet with sin
ccrcst sympathy for those who may
be bcrcavCd, we recommend the start
ing of movement throughout this
country for the diScarding of mourning
throughout the period of our participa
tion In the war,
The present shortage of fabrics Il
equalcd only by the shortage of raw
materials entering into the manufac
increase aS the war continues. Til,
adoption of mourning by large mum
Der of our people would entail the dis
carding of great quantities of clothm:
whirh otherwise might have been worl
for considerable period. True, SOM
of these CastollS might be given to tn
poor or to charitable organizations
But the probability is that the create
proportion of them would be put ava,
in some closet. to become moth cate
and forgotten The result of the ney
purchases would be to increase the al
ready serious shortage of material am
TO further raise the prices of clothing
which, rs II Is, promise to soar sti

Only Great Prudence on Part of Germany Can Prevent Declaration c
 For a Conflict

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 17.-Braz il's war department is proceeding wig orously with the reorganization of the army's various arms, in order to facilitate an immediate mobilization for home defense or, if necessary the equipping of expeditionary fore es for service in Europe.
 The government intuition factories have been working day and night for several months and have large ly overcome the deficiency, which is known to have existed in the way of heavy shells. The government was particularly worried at first for mu nitions for the German Krupp guns when importation was cut off, but the Brazilian factories are now turn ing out these shells rapidly.
 New complications are likely to arise at any moment which will make a status of war inevitable.
 Only great prudence on the part of Germany can possibly avoid a declaration similar to that made by the United States--that the country considers state of war exists.

COL. JACKLINC l MAY BE BEHIND A STEEL PLANT Twenty Million Dollars Re- ported Planned to be
 Spent in Plant
 At Seattle TO EMPLOY 5000 MEN Prominent Alaska Mine Owner and Other
 Capitalists Are Negotiating
TO EMPLOY 5000 MEN

SEATTLE, July 9.-Foreshad- owing the creation at Seattle of a gigantic steel plant, adding to the city's industrial payroll working force of between 5000 and 6,000 men, and representing a new invest ment in this state of an even $20,- 900, 900, representatives of big Cal last two weeks taken an option on 400 acres of land on the southeast shore of Lake Washington, immed- lately north of Benton and with in one mile of the southern boundry of Seattle, says the Times. It is generally understood among Seattle business men that D. c.
 Jackling, San Francisco multimil-
 lionare, and Will Crocker of the Crocker National Bank of the same city are backing the enterprise.
 The outlines of the deal have been known to many Seattle men of affairs for a number of days, but publication concerning it was held back until today to avoid a possible embarrassment of the steel
 men in getting all the land they needed. They were, indeed, option | ing additional land so late as yes- | terday.
 An Associated Press dispatch re- ceived by The Times late last night from Oakland, however, carried the
 news, setting forth the options on Lake Washington and the report
 that the company's principal output
 was to be steel plates for ship con- | struction for the United States gov | ernment
 The steel plant, it is believed,
 will employ 6.00O men within | twelve months time, greater
 working force than is now support | ed by any single industrial enter
 prise here, even the greatest of the shipyards.
 The 400 acres under option lie on both banks of Cedar River. Of the total area, 120 acres is owned by the Yesler estate The site is
 marsh land, reclaimed by the low ering of Lake Washington through the digging of the canal The Pa cific Coast briquetting plant ad-
 joins the steel site on the north and William Pigotts Seattle Car and Foundry Co. plant lies just to the east.
 Heavy Land Purchase Considerable property has been optioned in the city of Benton in the last three days. in anticipation of the activities that the steel plant will bring about.
 It is understood that the Jackling Crocker options run until July Is and that several of these options have already been executed and the money paid over. The whole sum involved in the land purchase Is fixed at between $500,00O and $7OO.OOO.
 Further report is that the steel men have optioned a number or iron and coal mines in Washington. The capital of the company is stat ed to be $20.o00. .Ooo. s15,O00, ,O00
