For a Congresswoman who has held

banquet without mentioning the part she
took in the great war crisis that con-
tronted Congress a week or so ago.

at the dinner of the Association of Col
legiate Women, at the Raleigh, last night,
but several hundred diners got the dis
appointment OF their lives when the Mon
tana member OF the House arose
thanked them for inviting her to the
dinner, professed deep pleasure over the
occasion and sat down.
That was as near as she came TO ex-
planning why she overturned all expecta-
ttons by voting against war when Con-
gress decided to open hostilities on Ger
many. She passed over the palm of the
evening to Chancellor James II. Kirk
land, of Vanderbilt University, who
eulogiZed womankind as the driving
force in our present war.
To-day" said Chancellor Kirkland, the
man who makes shells is as important a
unit in warfare as the mn who COM
mands a dreadnaught, and so is the man
who tills the soil to feed the warning

American Woman's Suffrage Association.
and asked the President to support it.
The resolution was introduced by Miss
Ellen Fitz Pendleton. president of We'll
lesley College. and was adopted by an
unanimous vote.
The election of officers. which was
held during the day, resulted in the re-
election of Miss Elizabeth Avery Cotton,

SUBMARINE WAR Zone
is TO BE EXTENDED
Germany Abou. to Include Whole
North Atlantic Territory.

Germany will announce within a few
days that the war zone In which all ves-
sells VIII be sunk by submarines without
warning has been extended to the en-
tire North Atlantic Ocean.
This was the belief OF high officials of
the government yesterday. following re-
ceipt OF confidential official reports from
diplomats friendly to the United States.
The enlargement OF the war zone Is
being planned IN an effort to stop all neu-
tral trading with the United States. and
thus greatly diminish the number OF
commerce vessels now available for the
transportation OF foodstuffs to Europe.
While lack of official communication
with the German government prevents
the State Department from receiving
positive information concerning Ger
many's intentions. high officials he e put
entire confidence in the reports OF the
proposed zone extension. because OF the
source OF the information.
The reported intention Of the German
government was said to have been de-
cided upon shortly after the entrance of
the United States into the war.

VETERINARIANS DISCUSS
HORSE SUPPLY PROBLEM
Ways and Means to Provide Ample
Supply for Army Argued.

How many horses the United States
can raise for military purposes and how
much live stock the country will find
available for food are things that the
United States College of Veterinary Sur
geons discussed at the annual smoker and
banquet held at the Raleigh last night.
The automobile truck is the best
agency for road communication, but for
connection between the line of trenches
that require travel over rough and un-
broken country, the horse is still the best
agent" said Maj. Jerril Griffith, u. S. A.
The life of a horse in the European con-
fiict has been estimated at from two
weeks to a month. 1t is longer now be-
cause the allies are patching up wounded
horses and sending them out again for
active service.
When a horse was wounded in the early
days OF the war it was shot Now they
are considering the seriousness of the
wound, and II there is a chance for re-
covery the animal is taken to veterin-
airy hospital and is treated.
Shipments of horses to England and
others of the entente allies have been
curtailed because of the necessity of Sc
curing mounts for the American cavalry.
The society will take a census Of all the
horses available for army duty and all
the live stock suitable for food consump-
ton, the statistics to be turned over to
the War Department.
Dr. H. S. Gamble, president OF the
alumni association, opened the meeting.

Address On Laboratory
Methods In Religion

The methods of faith are the methods
of knowledge. The process by which we
know God is the process by which we
know man ourselves and the universe
The oldest school in the world is the
school of experience. And the school
of experience will ultimately win vie
tory for God and His cause Multitudes
have forsaken the faith of their child
hood and have become alienated from
organized Christianity. These people
have simply abandoned outgrown meth
DDS. Many of these are emerging from
the darkness with a faith transfigured
by the testing. Faith can only be re
stored IN many lives by the process of
spiritual experimentation. Appropriate
man accustomed to deal every day
with proved facts should be the one to
show that the scientific method may be
applied TO the things OF faith. Prof.
Swcetser, of the department of science
of the University of Oregon. on sun
day evening at the First Congregational
church. will deliver an interesting and
instructive illustrated address on the
subject, Laboratory Methods in Re-
ligion'' This address viii help us to
understand that there is no way to
attain faith in God except by keeping
faith with God. No way to know the
truth except by telling and living the
truth; no way to appreciate the infinite
good except to do the finite daily good.
