statue, for such officer as are, techni-
cally, not covered by the suffrage
clause Of the constitution.
1.-The explanation for this change OF
front will be found in the election re
suits during the last five years. In
that interval thirteen States, with a
population of Al ,6S5, $40, have defeated
woman suffrage by popular vote, In
spite of previous legislature approval.
Three of them have done it twice. In
all these States the event proved that
the Legislatures had been misled by
the noise and clamor of agitation and
had failed to comprehend the public
feeling ic favor of the existing order.
In the same period only two States.
Nevada and Montana, both of small
population, have enfranchlsed the
women by State amendment after ref
erendum.
Though the extension of 'democ
racy' has been one of the standing pre-
texts for urging woman suffrage. the
record shows an increasing unwilling
ness to risk the cause to the test of
what many regard as the most demo-
traffic of all institutions-the referen-
dunn This explains the frenzied and
undignified drive upon the President
and Congress to break down State
home rule (another democratic prin-
ciple) and to foist woman suffrage by
Federal amendment upon forty-eight
States by the action of the Legislatures
mot the voters) of thirty-six States
and also the present movement for So
called statutory suffrage in all States
where a majority in the Legislature
might be induced or coered by syste-
matte campaign of Fostering to disre-
gard the prevailing sentiment among
the people. j,
Finally, we beg to remind you that
under the new article II of the Mary
land constitution no measure passed
by the General Assembly. other than
bona fde emergency act, can take
effect until June /, 1918. Nothing,
therefore, is to be gained by permit
ing any interference with the legiti
mate business of the special session.

More than 100000 young
Americans enrolled themselves
Tuesday for war service.
Registration day, with but a
few weeks of preparation, saw
the first military census ever
taken in the United States COM
pleted without a single untoward
event of consequence.
The manhood of the nation
obeyed the Presidents call and
volunteered in mass, setting at
naught all the schemes and plot
ting of German sympathizers
and the few cranks who have
agitated against registration.
1t remains but to select the men
who are to go to the front.

AMERICAN AID IN FIGHTING

The weekly report of the loss
es of British merchandise vessels
in the submarine campaign again
shows a favorable total. In
some respects the last week has
been the best since unrestricted
submarine warfare was inaugu-
rated. Last Friday was a blank
day on the records; that is, no
losses Of British merchantmen
occurred. 1t is the first time this
has happened for a long period.
British naval people believe
the improvement is cumulative
and that there is not the slightest
chance, with the improved allied
organizations, that the Germans
ever will repeat their perform
ance of the black week when
nearly 60 boats were sunk. The
weather continues to favor the
boats which are fighting the sub
marines, and the cooperative
organization of the patrols, air
craft and other antisubmarine
services is improving constantly.
The arrival of American units
has helped in more ways than
one. Among other things it has
instilled a friendly rivalry in the
campaign against the submar-
ines, stimulating the morale and
adding to the keenness of the
men of both fleets.
Progress of the technique of
the antisubmarine campaign in
cludes more careful supervision
together with various vigorous
offensive measures which it is
impossible to detail. In the last
week there have occurred num-
erous encounters, the results of
which have been entirely salts
factory. American ships have
a share of the credit.

United States Has Surprise
For Enemies in Shape Of
Most Wonderful Torpedo

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 10.-A torpedo
that can detect and single out an en-
emy craft, release itself and at a speed
of forty miles an hour rush to attack
it, is one of the "surprise Z" weapons
in the hands of the United Statas gov
ernment today, according to Montra-
vile Wood, Chicago scientist and in
yentor. Wood declared in a lecture
that he has turned over to the govern
ment such defensive weapon, togeth-
er with another invention which viii
immunize ships of the home fleets to
attack by his torpedo or anything
similar to it.
ftIt Is really torpedo with ears and
a BRAIN" he said "The ears work on
the same principle as human ears. They
detect an enemy ship at distance Of
ten miles and at distance of one and
a half miles they slip from their an
ehors and rush to attack.
'sThe BRAIN he said, II cannot tel
you 80 much about. That is my little
secret
Wood, who invented the detecta
phone, also told of Understandable
aeroplane being tried by the govern
ment. II carries no aviator.

Representative Thomas Says
Speaker Plays FaUorites

Log-rolling was the specific charge
made at the first night session of the
legislature last night when Represen-
tative Thomas of Medford objected to
the action of Speaker Stanfield in re-
ferring senate bill No. SO, relating to
fishing in the Willamette river at Ore
gon City and establishing dead line
three miles below that city above which
fishing with nets would be prohibited,
to the game committee, of which Cor
bett is chairman, and Representatives
Ritner, Ashley, Burdick and Griggs are
members, when it was thought right
and proper the bill should go to the
fisheries committee, where other fish
bills were considered.
Generally on objection to a reference
by the speaker, the member who objects
states to which committee he wishes the
bill to. go and if the house does not oh
iect, it is so referred. Representative
Thomas objected to the bill being re-
ferred to the game committee and re-
quested it be sent TO the fisheries com
mittee. This Stanfield did not do and
Thomas took the floor and charged that
the bill was being referred TO the game
committee so that if the Rogne river bill
was passed in the senate this bill could
be given an adverse report and killed
by indefinite postponement because the
friends Of the Willamette fishing bill
voted for the Rogue river fishing
bill.
He charged that the reference to this
committee was being used as a club to
defeat the Rogue river bill in the SEN
ate. He charged that Speaker Stanfield
had taken hand in the matter and had
threatened Senator Gill that unless the
Rogue river fishing ball was killed in
the senate his Willamette fishing bill
would be killed in the house by being
sent to a committee that was declared
TO be not in favor of the Rogue, rivei
bill and would give the Willamette bill
Ian adverse report.

ser the charge of log rolling on the pari

One-Hundred and Twenty
Americans Will LeaUe Berlin
First Official Word.

Washington, Feb. 10-The first direct
official word concerning Ambassador
Gerard IS departure from Berlin reached
the state department. today in cable
gram from the Swiss minister, saying
that Gerard is leaving Berlin today and

In response TO published German
charges that Ambassador VonBcrnstorff

government since the break, the state
department said today the ambassador
has always been able to cable the Swiss
minister as much as he chose.
The massage said Gerard, his entire
official staff, so American citizens and
probably all eonsuls, would leave to-
night on a special train for Zurich,
Switzerland.
Americans, the message added, who
intend to remain in Berlin, will be un-
der the protection of the Spanish ambas-
sador, who is caring for American in.

STOCK IS INACTIVE
BECAUSE UNCERTAINTY
HOLDS BUYERS BACK
Wheat Market In Chicago
Strong and Prices Are
Higher

New York, Feb. I0.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said
There was neither initiative or anima,
tion in today's short session of the
stock market. So restricted was the
volume of business transacted that il
was difficult to detect any very definite
trend to prices. Such trend ms there
was, however, was upward, so far as
the industrial list was concerned, but
the rails were again inclined to be yield
ing.
Among the active steel issues only
United States steel and Crucible were
traded in in the first hour. United
States steel common opened at l04 3-S
quarter up, advanced point or so
sold back to t04 Ia and then recovered
to the neighborhood of l05. Movements
of this sort were general throughout
the industrial list where there were any
movements at all.
The copper shares were consistently
strong, The shipping stocks were also
strong. The war stocks were generally
firm. Railroad issues were little
changed
There was more or less lazy backing
and filling in the later trading but
price changes were quite devoid Of
significance.
