Of Judge Sloan, has justified the use
OF the certificate OF election. as the
basis for such a claim.

A number Of senator's and other public

their home States 70 open their pocket
books for the Red Cross fund. Cardinal

have confident hope that these world
wide plans Of charity and mercy will
be largely realized, bringing the grateful
appreciation Of the suffering millions as
a partial recompense."
A suggestion which may open the way
for donations by national banks came
from Comptroller of the Currency Will
liams. He explained that national banks
may not legally donate bank funds to
any charitable cause. but may declare
a special dividend out of the undivided
profits.
Checks for such a dividend can be
mailed to stockholders" he said, with
a circular letter suggesting but not re-
curing that the proceeds be given the
Red Cross"
If all national banks should declare an
extra dividend Of one-half of one per
cent. and shareholders should turn the
sum over to the Red Cross, Mr.. Williams
explained 100000 would be produced.
From campaign committees in many
cities to-day came word that the war
councils tentative allotment was too low,
and that a new high figure had been set.

$35,000.0o0 subscribed during the first two
days of the weeks campaign to raise
s10O,000.000 for war relief. Hundreds of
communities had not been heard from.
but from others returns poured in so
rapidly that tabulators could not keep
pace with them.
Several great individual donations
helped to swell the total to-day, but the
Red Cross war council expects later
reports to include great multitude of
smaller donations by people of moderate
means, whose subscriptions went far
toward the 18th hour over-subscription
of the Liberty loan last week
To-nght's total did not include the
contributions of many smaller city or
town communities. particularly in the
West. where 1t is said local campaign
committees plan to withhold their totals
until late in the week in hope of avoiding
too optimistic spirit. New York citys
total was nearing the 900 mark
with 100000 contributions from j. p.
Morgan and G. r. Baker.

SUFFRAGE GAINS
LAP IN ENGLAND
House of Commons Reaffirms
Its Belief in Principle Of
Votes for Women.

London, June 19.-The House Of Com
mons in the committee Of the whole to-
day reached the clause In the electoral
reform bill dealing with the question of
woman suffrage. The House will first
decide on the general principle Of whether
women shall have the vote. II that
passes, which It is expected 1t will do,
the proposal will be made that the fran
chise be conferred on women on the same
basis as men.
The majority by which the House of
Commons reafflrmed its adhesion to the
principle of woman suffrage astonished
the warmest supporters of the measure
They anticipated victory, but none
seemed to imagine that there would be
such a sweeping triumph. This was partly
due to the lack of interest shown at times
in the long drawn out debate. The mem.
bers evidently felt that the subject long
ago had been exhausted and that moth

suffrage bills which already had passed

section, and members of the women's
committee of the Council of National De-
Tense.
Mr.. Hoover said the success Of the food
administrations plans depends largely on
the cooperation of the countrys house,
wives. Women he declared are as much
a part of the national army as are the
men fighting at the front. The scheme Of
organization and the plan for national
registration of women as actual members
Of the food administration were outlined
at length by DIR. Wilbur and the members
of the women's committee.
The registration will he conducted
largely by the women's organizations
under the direction of state defense
councils and the women's committee.

WAR BAN, PERHAPS, ON
WOMEN'S FANCY SHOES

Washington. June ia spirited con-
test is promised before the commercial
economy board of the council Of national
defense over styles of shoes for women.
The board has taken up the question for
the purpose of conserving the supply of
leather and in the interest of labor. In
letter to shoe manufacturers the board
has indicated that 1t is desirable to re-
duce the number of new styles of shoes
for the spring season of 1918. 1t has asked
the manufacturers to eliminate extreme
styles and confine production to staple
lines. The course of the board is in ac-
cord with that of the British govern
ment in ordering that womens shoes
should not be more than seven inches
high.
The manufacturers are expected to en-
ter vigorous protest. Some of them
have established certain types of fancy
shoes. and they feel that they will be
deprived Of profitable trade IL they fol-
low the advice of the economy board. 1t
is the purpose Of the board to give the
manufacturers chance to dispose of
