personal experiences related to the

Mr.. Brautigam also spoke Of the
latest means Of defense against sub
marine warfare, and pointed out how
many men from Bridgeport might be
needed, in the event of war, to man
the high speed boats, such as are now
being used SO successfully by Eng
land. The boats as described, are
from 60 to 80 feet long, with a beam
Of about twelve feet. They are
shallow, and as they draw only four
or five feet of waller, are immune
from torpedo attack.
I Boats Of this type are equipped
with powerful motors, which will de-
velop q Nspeed of Is miles an hour
England has several hundred of these
boats in use at the present time, be-
tween five and six hundred of which
were made by an American firm
From eight to ten men are necessary
TO man each boat. The speaker
stated that Long Island Sound was
sure to be the center Of the greatest
submarine activity, in the event OF

IN for its full share Of attention.

Action On Hawaii
Suffrage Bill Not.
Likely Until 1918
Measure is on Senate Calendar
But War Questions Will
Take Precedence
BY C. S. ALBERT
ecia Star Bulletin correspondsnce1

Especial Star Bulletin CoTrespondence0
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. l0.-An
additional step forward has been taken
in the direction of giving the women
of Hawaii equal suffrage rights. This
may not mean much in the long run,
but it affords entertainment to those
who advocate abolition Of distinction
between the sexes at the polls.
The bill giving the legislature pow
ers to deal with the qualification Of
electors has been favorably reported
to the senate. 1t was introduced by
Senator Shafroth on June l an re-
ferred to the committee on Pacific
islands and Porto Rico, of which he
is chairman 1t did not go to the
regular committee on woman suffrage.
1t came back without amendment.
The measure, now on the senate
calendar in readiness for action, If
that point is reached, follows: THAT
the legislature of the Territory of Ha-
wall be, and it is hereby, vested with
the power to provide that, in all
elections authorized to be held by the
organic act of the Territory Of Ha-
vail female citizens possessing the
same qualifications as male citizens
shall be entitled to vote.
Section 2 That the said legisla-
ture is further hereby vested with the
power to have submitted to the voters
of the Territory of Hawaii the Ques-
ton of whether or not the female Citi-
zens of the Territory shall be empOw-
cred to vote at elections held under
the laws of the Territory of Hawaii.
Section g. That all provisions OF
the organic act of the Territory Of
Hawaii restricting the right to vote to
male citizens which are in conflict
with the provisions hereof are hereby
repealed.
Section T. That this Act shall take
effect and be enforced from and after
its approval, and shall be held to ap,
ply to both territorial and municipal
elections"
1t is not expected any steps will be
taken toward passing this bill during
the present session OF congress. Legs
lation relating to matters connected
with the great war promise to consume
all the time. What will be done at
the short session. which begins Dc
Cemher 3, cannot be predicted It l.
doubtful whether an opportunity can
be found then for consideration Of IT,,
suffrage problem in any form.
