MORALS NOT A MATTER
OF GEOGRAPHY" SAYS WIFE
Mrs. Cole, Green Diary Owner, Denies
Husbands Charges

Mrs. Essie Collie, whose little green
diary contains many dark brown views
of her married life with Bernard Cole,
a Harlem druggist, denied with consid-
cradle vehemence in the Supreme
Court yesterday the allegations of her
husband, on which he asks a divorce.
Mrs. Cole, who also asks a divorce,
admitted that she had dined with
Jacob Solomon, shoe merchant, in
bedroom at the Hotel Van Cortlandt,
but insisted that morals is not a mat
ter of geography"
Mrs. Cole explained that Solomon
sought a private dining room because
she did not wish to be seen in the
public dining room for fear ofegossip.
But they could not get this and so they
had their meal in the bedroom.
This episode is the basis for COLES
suit. Soon after the meal began the
husbands raiding party arrived Solo
mon testified that he and Mrs. Cole
had been TO a theatre and later TO a
restaurant before going TO the Van
Cortlandt. They had been in the room
only ten minutes, he said. when the
raiders came. Solomon identified his
signature in the hotel register. He
added his denial Of misconduct TO that
Of Mrs. Cole.

DEEDS OF WOMEN
IN WAR MAY AID
SUFFRAGISTS HERE
Mrs. Whitehouse Believes Sis
tiers Abroad Have Helped
State Fight

The deeds Of the women IN Europe
since the outbreak of the war will win
the ballot for the women of New YORK,
according 10 Mrs Norman de r. White
house. chairman of the New York State
Suffrage party, who spoke at the an
nual convention held under the aus
tices of the New York City Suffrage
party last night in the Church of the
Messiah. Park Avenue and Thirty
fourth Street.
"The prospects for the party are daz-
cling" said Mrs. Whitehouse. I'VE lost
out in 1915 because everybody's mind
was on the war. There was nothing
else in the newspapers and the voters
were nervous and pessmistic. But
change has come over the voting pop
ulation since then. They have seen
what the women OF Europe have been
doing in the industries and the cities
as we'll as on the battlehelds. The m
dorsement of suffrage by both parties
last summer and the large vote cast by
the women of the West are other ind
cations favorable 10 our cause"
Resolutions congratulating the women
of North Dakota. to whom the ballot
was granted last week, were passed.
Others who spoke were Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association;
Miss Rose Young and Miss Mary Gar
rett Hay, chairman of the New York
CITY Suffrage party.

Schedule Set for Punitive
Forces Withdrawal
from Mexico
LAST MAN TO. CROSS
RIO GRANDE MONDAY
Order Contains Directions
for Any Contingency
That May Arise

Washington, Jan. 29.-The War De-
partment to-day was notified IN
dispatches from Major General Fun
ston that the withdrawal of the Amer
lean punitive expedition in Mexico was
progressing satisfactorily and the last
troops should cross the border next
Monday.
A statement made public said:
General Pershing's movement con-
tinues without incident and according
to schedule. He will probably cross
the border a week from to-day"
The text of the withdrawal order IS
withheld by the department, but it IS
known that it contains specific diree-
tions for the conduct of the movement,
including prescribed instructions to
be followed in any contingency that
may arise, and reached General
Pershing early Sunday.

Of Northern France. SO that relief has
grown in organization from mod
crate charitable enterprise to one with
out parallel in history.
up 20 the end Of January we had
spent s250,000,000; we had imported
into Belgium more than 52500,000 tons
OF concentrated food supplies. We are
now issuing more than 100000 leaves
Of bread every month. dividing up TO-
100000 to 100000 pounds Of fats and
distributing 100000 tins of con-
densed milk.
ut will occur to every business man
TO know something Of this organza
ton, TO know whether il is efficient;
every one has right TO know whether
IL Is honest and whether il accom-
plished its purpose. There always have
been three tenets in this organization.
The first is Capitalization, the second
voluntary service and the third high
ideals.
at was realized from the start that
IL was necessary 10 have the coopers-
ton Of every intelligent man in Bel
GUM and Northern France and assist
ance from commercial houses. We have
never appealed for assistance from such
quarters without having received the
fullest and most skilful advice. We
have built up by degrees some 1000 or
5000 subcommittee recruiting char
ity throughout the world. and we have
so recruited about $4,000 900, of which
100000 came from this country.
Situation Grows Desperate
Relief work consists not only in
distributing food, but in handling des-
titution. There is in Belgium about 80
per cent of unemployment and 70 per
cent in Northern France. These people
are absolutely destitute.
"As time goes on the situation be-
comessmore desperate; our necessities
grow greater and il is becoming more
and more difficult to see oar way
through. To-day our budget calls for
about 100000 to $4,000, 900 monthly
if we are not to reduce the food supply
to these people. We are receiving S14,-
100000 monthly from tn allied gov
ernments and there is no hope of any
increase in that and there is always
the possibility that We may lose il al
together.
I'm any event we are from $3000,0O0
to $5,000,0 900 a month snort. We have
to raise this by public charity and we
thought that perhaps the American
people would help to take the burden
off our shoulders. The feeling that
they have not done so is crushing to
our national pride; it undermines our
ability to defend these people whose
plight should touch the heart OF every
American"

Mexican AmazOnS kjure
2 Soldiers in Bridge Rush
American Guards, Unprepared and Outnumbered al
Second Assault Showered With Stones-Mexican
Troopers Drive of Mob
By ROBERT II. R0HDE

FL Paso, Tex. Jan. %. -The gringo
guards at the American end OF the
Santa Fe international Bridge, bruised
and cut by the stones and broken
bottles used in to-day's continuation OF
the Mexican anti-bath riots, are recruit
ing their strength tonight against the
still more serious trouble that to-mor-
row promises.
With two soldiers on the hospital list
as a result of the second days con-
fict, the military authorities have with
drawn a measure of their support from
the customs quarantine and local po-
lice forces.
When 200 women followed their sor-
rel-topped leader in another attempt to
rush the bridge this morning a hle OF
the 23d United States Infantry bore the
blunt of the attack But according 10
new orders the regulars will stand aside
in future until il either is demon
strated that the situation is beyond
control of the civil authorities or until
shooting from the Jaurez side begins
Amazons Begin Assault Early
The second assault. coming soon af-
ter daylight, found the Americans UNI
prepared. Instead of waiting until Z
o'clock, the hour at which the port IS
opened under the present quarantine
system, Carmelita Torres led her anna
ION cohorts into action at $3.50.
Those few officials who were on the
bridge were swept aside, and the wom-
en- had passed the international boun-
dairy. the to!lgate and the quarantine
station before the infantrymen tum-
bled out to oppose them.
Several soldiers were scratched and
kicked in the first clash, but they did
not strike back. Behind the MOB OF
women, as the troops rushed them
back in football fashion, second mob
of men gathered. 1t was from this
mob that the missiles came.

Henry A. Wise Wood Calls
Rev. J. II. Holiness
Union Reasonable
SPEAKERS BARRED BY
SECURITY LEAGUE
Devoted to America, De-
clares Clergyman-Dan-
gerous, Is Reply

Henry A. Wise Wood and the Rev
John Haynes Holmes, pastor OF the
Church Of the Messiah, have been IN
Gulging in a spirited controversy re-
sulting from conflicting views on mill
tary preparedness.
The immediate cause of series OF
letters between Mr.. Wood and Mr..
Holmes. which the former made public
Yesterday, was the refusal OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Sc
curity League, of which Mr.. Wood is
member. to permit speakers for the
American Union Against Militarism, to
which Mr.. Holmes belongs, to appear
before the Congress on Constructive
Patriotism.
Sessions of the congress, held under
the auspices of the National Security
League, ended in Washington last Sat
urday.
In the first letter, dated January IL,
Mr.. Holmes complained to Mr.. Wood Of
the refusal, adding:
~ am wondering if We cannot look
to you to secure the kind of hearing
we want. | am hopeful that you will
be willing to take this matter up and
let us have at least a few moments
opportunity to present our side"
Considered Movement Unreasonable"
Mr.. Wood replied on January 16 in
part:
perhaps the best answer can make
is TO repeat to you very franKly what
| said at a meeting Of the executive
committee OF the National Security
League. when the request of the Amer
lean Union Against Militarism was
read. I said then that | consider the
movement damnably reasonable.
81 could conceive of no movement
so pleasing to those who may possibly
become our enemies as that which has
been put on foot by the American
Union Against Militarism."
On January IS Mr.. Holmes wrote:
cit is of course very painful to me
70 find that YOU are moved TO speak of
myself and my associates of the Union
as traitors When | see the spirit
which is being manifested by those in
the Union | know full well that devo-
ton TO the best interests of America
is not there absent"
"Misled," Says Mr.. Wood.
Mr.. Wood wrote finally on January
10: "You are wrong IN assuming that
attribute to your associates and your
self unworthy motives. believe you
are striving according to the best OF
YOUR lights to aid locally the people
among whom you are working, but
class YOU among those who are well
