WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-A con-
troversy over what part women shall
take in the Inauguration ceremonies
came to a head tonight with an an
nounccment by Mrs. James II. Boggs,
president Of the Women's Wilson
Union and a member Of the inaugural
committee. that because OF a ruling
barring from the inaugural parade a
section of state floats being organ
lied under her direction, she had de-
clared the Withdrawal Of all women

Robert n Harper chairman of the
committee, replied that Mrs Boggs
had no authority 20 declare such a
withdrawal lie said women were
wanted in the parade and that the
state floats had been barred only be-
cause the plans for them could not
be completed.

The chairman Of the women's di-

This decision was reached after it
became known that Chairman Harper
had arbitrarily ruled that state floats

had been planned for and financed
by prominent men and women Of the

in the line of parade"

GRIFFIN SENDS
APOLOGY AF TER
WARM MESSAGE


CHICAGO. Feb. ga second tel
egram in which there tere traces of
apology for the belligerent tone of
the first one sent Yesterday, was put
on the wires to the Interstate COM
merce commission by President Jo-
seph Griffin OF the Chicago board of
trade
We recognize fully" reads today's
telegram, the respect due your hon
orabe body and if ! have been en-
phatio in my statement you will un-
derstand it is because of the desper-
ate plight in which We find ourselves
at this time"
Mr. Griffin explains that he now
finds that the ear supply order which
he was led 20 believe by local rail-
Commerce Commissioner McChord
really came from the car service COM
mission Of the American Railway As
ISOLATION.
In his telegram yesterday. acting on
this misconception, Mr.. Griffin ac-
cused the interstate commerce COM
mission Of utter failure in the emer-
gency and of having done more harm
than good. He and his traffic com
mittee conferred on the question of
going into the courts, or of appealing
to congress for prompt, dictatorial ac-
tion to straighten out matters
With the misunderstanding cleared
up, today's telegram was said to be
a final plea on behalf of the board of
trade. and, in a general way on behalf
Of the farmers and country grain ele-
vators of the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys.
Mr.. Griffin reiterated that the grain
trade of this section is in a desperate
way. Forty million bushels of grain
are held up in local elevators: seven
million bushels additional are in cars,
some of which should have been
shipped three months ago. He told
reporters that food product factories
in Chicago in many cases are running
only 25 per cent of capacity because
they cannot ship their products out
and that one of the biggest corn pro-
ducts factories in the world may have
to close down entirely if conditions
are not remedied. He said that. al
though the elevators have ceased to
operate they fear, because of the
shortage of laboring men, to lay off
hands, as they might not be able tc
get them back again. Thus their eX-
penses remain at the maximum.
THE holding up of grain and grain
products is what. largely, is sending
food prices soaring in the east and en-
failing demonstrations such as that

COLONIES Of
GERMANY ARE
LOST FOREVER


LONDON. Feb. 22.-The death knell
to Germany's colonial possessions has
been sounded. so far as the entente
allies can effect that result. by the al
most simultaneous announcement of
the British minister of colonies. Mr.
Long, the japanese minister of foreign
affairs, Mr.. MOtono, and the prime min
lister of New Zealand, Mr. Massey, who
voiced the view OF Australia as well as
New Zealand. Together. these state
ments declare there will be no return
to Germany for her colonies in Africa,
Asia or the Pacific.
This attitude is not only held by
Japan and the British colonies chiefly
concerned but it has the backing Of
the British and French governments.
which have the largest interest in CO.
lon.al Africa and Asia. 1t develops the
fact also that the late Asquith govern
ment was opposed to any extension Of
British coolnial possessions in Africa.
whereas the new Lloyd George govern
ment approves this extension as in line
with the aspirations Of the British colo
MES in Africa. This in turn has estab-
lished that there viii be a general re-
shifting OF African colonies. so that the
possessions of England. France. Port
ugal and Belgium will be made more
homogeneous instead of being scattered
and irregular IN outline, as at present
Japan's attitude toward holding the
German colony Of KiaUchau in China
and the Pacific islands occupied by the
japanese fleet, came up when the
French draft of the reply TO President
Wilson was being cabled to the various
entente governments for approval
Japan approved the terms as far as
stated on Serbia. Belgium and in other
respects, but pointed out that the terms
omitted any reference 70 the German
colonies Of Kiaocnau and the Pacific
islands in which Japan had established
an interest.
The japanese embassy giving Ja
pans understanding Of the arrange
ment as stated by Foreivn Minister
Motono said.
THE absence of any allusion to the
future disp0sal of the German colonies
has justly the attention of the
public in Japan. That point, however,
has never escaped the attention of the
imperial government. The reply TO the
American note does not certainly con-
tain all the conditions Of peace to be
demanded by the allied powers. They
deserve the right to present these con-
ditions when the terms Of peace are
discussed. Reference is made to this
point in the note to the United states
IN order to avoid all misunderstand-
ings, we took steps to safeguard our
rights when we addressed our adhesion
to the draft by the French government
and am happy to say that satisfac-
tory understanding exists among all the
allies on this point
The attitude of the new British ad-
ministration was announced about the
same time in the statement Of the new
minister of colonies in the Lloyd George
cabinet who, in saying he spoke with

PARIS. Feb. 22.-The official COM
munication tonight reads:
IN Belgium yesterday afternoon Ger
man patrols who attempted TO reach
our lines near Roodepoort. northeast
of Nieuport, were dispersed by our
fire; the enemy suffered losses.
THE artillery fighting was quite
spirited on the right bank of the Meuse
in the sector of Cote du Poivre. There
is nothing to report elsewhere.
Eastern theater: There was artillery
activity on the whole front and patrol
actions near Seres and the Makevo
front. a raid on Brest, near Lake Dol
ran, permitted US to take prisoners
Two enemy counter attacks at the same
place We're repuised.
THE aviators were very active. en-
gaging in several fights Enemy coll
umns near Seres and Melkuk were sue
cessfully bombarded.
Belgian communications Nothing Of
importance occurred.
The Geneva correspondent Of the
Havas agency sends the following dis
patch received there from the Wolf
bureau in Berlin:
1T is learned that the crews OF the
merchant ships brought to Germany
aboard the British steamer Yarrowdale
reason Of the present circumstances.
the American sailors might have been
treated as prisoners Of war. II was de-
cided some time ago to release them
as an exceptional measure they having
begun their voyages without knowing
that they exposed themselves TO treat
ment as prisoners because they shipped
aboard armed enemy merchantmen.
After the rupture Of relations with
the United States, news reached Ger
many that German ships have been
seized and their crews interned. That
news gave rise to the idea that it might
be prudent not to liberate the American
sailors until official information was
received as to the real situation. Infor-
nation now has been received officially
that German ships In American ports
have not been seized and that their
crews have not been interned."

GERMANS IN BELGIUM
ARE REPULSED BY THE
FRENCH AND BRITISH
reepublican A. p. Leased wirel

The Associated Press summarizes
operations of yesterday in Connection
with the European war as follows:
Small engagements by raiding and
accommodating parties and reciprocal
bombardments, which are of consider
able intensity at various points, are
stlll going on in all the war theater.
Nowhere has a big engament taken
place.
The Germans in Belgium near Roode
poort and in France east of Vermelles
and south of Neuve Chapelle made
thrusts with raiding parties against the
entente lines. but according to both
Paris and London. they were repulsed
with losses. Berlin reports that near
Armentieres the British entered Ger
man positions but later were driven
out, leaving 200 dead in the trenches.
In addition 80 men were made prison
ers. Spirited artillery activity continues
in the Verdun sector at Cote du Poivre.
The repulse of small Russian attacks
in the Lake Narocz region of Russia,
successful raids by the Germans in Cali
cia, near Zlochoff, where 250 Russians
were taken prisoners, and small attacks
in the wooded Carpathians. with the
advantage resting with the Austro
Germans. are related in the German Of
fetal communication. In the latter re-
giOn, however, Petrograd claims a re-
pulse by the Russians of the TeutOnic
allies near Dornatra.
In Rumania a heavy snoY storm is
hampering operations
CONSIDERABLE artillery activity con-
tinues on the Macedonian front, where
trench raiding operations also are being
carried out. The latest reports from
London and Paris shAw that vessels Of
an aggregate tonnagesof more than 81
goo have been sent to the bottom by
submarines or mines. The vessels sunk
were four British steamers and traw
Ter. one Russian. one Swedish one
Swedish, one Dutch, and one Norwe-
gian steamer
The Swedish steamer had several
Americans aboard. All of them and the
remainder of the crew We're rescued
