PRESIDENT GIVES ENDORSEMENT TO
 WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
tcontinued from Pase one>

orally been obliged to be satisfied with the slowness of the process In a sense it is wholesome that it should be slow
 because then it is solid and sure; but believe that this war is going so to quicken the convictions and the con-
 seriousness of mankind with regard to political questions that the speed of re- i construction will be greatly increased. And believe that just because wo are quickened by the questions of this war
 we ought to be quickened to give this question of woman suffrage our imme-
 diate consideration.
 SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF
 "As one of tho spokesmen of great party. would be nothing less than obeying the mandates of that party if gave my hearty support to the ques-
 tion of woman suffrage which you rep- resent, but I do not want to speak merely as one of the spokesmen Of a party. I want to speak for myself and say that 1t seems to me that this Is the
 time for the states of this union to take this action. I. perhaps, may be touched
 a little too much by the traditions Of our politics. traditions which lay such
 questions almost entirely upon the
 states. but want to see communities
 declare themselves quickened at this
 time and show the consequence of the !, quickening.
 WOMEN ARE APPRECIATED q think the whole country has appre-
 ciated the way in which the women have
 risen to this great occasion. They not
 only have done what they have been asked to do and done it with ardor and | efficiency. but they have shown a power
 to organize for doing things of their own | initiative, which is quite difficult thing and a very much moro difficult thing. -1~ ~m,hn An~ <A- mired the spirit and the capacity and the
 vision of the women of the United States.
 DEPENDING ON WOMEN Tt Is almost absurd to say that the country depends upon the women for largo part of the inspiration of its life. That is too obvious to say: but it is now depending upon the women also for sug- 1 gestions of service, which have been rem dered in abundance and with the distinc- | tion of originality. l, therefore, am very 1 glad to add my voice to those which are urging the people of the great state of
 New York to set great example by
 voting for woman suffrage. It would be 1 . pleasure if might utter that advice \ In their presence. Inasmuch as I am bound too close to my duties hero to
 mako that possible. am glad to have the privilege to ask you to convey that
 message to them.
 TIME OF PRIVILEGE
 ! "It seems to me that this is time of privilege. All our principles. all our thearts. all our purposes, ar, being searched searched not only by our own 1 lconscienccs, but searched by the world, and 1t is time for the people Of the States of this country to show the world lin what practical sense they have 1learned the lessons of democracy. that
 they are fighting for democracy beeause

WHEAT MOVEMENT SMALL
PRIOR COMPETITION

"The unrestrained competition last spring and summer between the for eign buyers robbed our market of its normal and necessary reserves and re- duced our stocks of wheat and flour to a dangerous level.
 'In spite of all these drawba the wheat crop has been so evenly dis tributed and so fairly supplied that the milling output of the United States shows a total gain over the similar period of last year, with it's larger wheat supplies. This has been done In spite of the fact that tho receipts it primary markets tn the United States from July to October 16 totalled 6niy 6S.000.000 bushels as compared with ! 152 2.000000 bushels for the correspond ing period year ago.

WOULD HAVE FOE ALIENS
WEAR SLEEVE BANDS

Enemy aliens in the United States
should be branded 50 that everybody
may know who they are. according to
Joseph +. Won, advance agent Of
Chauncey Alcott, who presented a
scheme for such marking today to
officials OF the Department of Justice
Mr.. Won suggested to the officials
that a system be adopted whereby
enemy aliens will be compelled to
wear on their sleeves a uniformly,dis
tinguishing mark on which there
should be plainly lettered the words
enemy allen" Such a mark, he said.
would be OF the greatest help in en-
forcing the provisions Of the Pres!.
dents proclamation relating to the
conduct Of enemy aliens. and would
make Il so that ordinary persons
would Immediately recognize those
enemy aliens with whom they come
into contact
This II war. and We should not be
too tender hearted with our enemies
In this country" Mr.. Won declared.
THE argument VIII be put forward
that to be compelled to- wCsr a sleeve
mark would be n hardship on the
enemy aliens. There is nothing To-
such an argument. Why have sym
patty for persons who have been in
this country for years and yet have
never thought well enough Of us TO
swear allegiance"

JUVENILE COURT
EDSNEWLAWS,
GREGORY SAYS

Complete revision of the Juvenile
court law Of the District of Columbia
and change in the court procedure
is urgently recommended to Con-
gress in the annual report OF Attor-
ney General Gregory submitted to
that body today.
A bill providing the necessary
changes passed both houses at the
last session. but was lost by the con-
ference disagreement.
The entire question has been
pressed for action before Congress
for several years. The Attorney
General says:
Impressed with the Importance Of
considering the question of the
amendment, revision, aud codification
OF the laws in force in the District
OF Columbia pertaining to children
and TO the Jurisdiction, practice. and
procedure OF the Juvenile Court OF
the District. my predecessor, on
March 6, 1914. appointed a committee.

OF the District in this particular and
to advise the Attorney General ac-
companying its report with a draft
OF code adequate to give the Dis
tFict satisfactory laws upon these
subjects, mad which might be used
as a general model
. This committee, acting without COM
pensation, devoted a very large amount
or time to the problem and submitted
TO me report thereon. a copy OF which
was embraced In my annual report for
1910. Including the draft Of two bills
one to emancipate from certain disabIll-
ties children who have Judgments OF
conviction for crime Of record against
them In the Juvenile Court Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia: the other 10 revise
completely the law creating that court
with the primary purpose Of changing the
procedure from that OF a criminal court
to procedure resembling that Of the
court OF chancery. The first Of these
bills has become Law. and the other,
after careful consideration BY the House
and Senate OF the Sixty-hfth Congress
Oh. r. $3.50. was passed by both
houses. but failed to become a law on
account OF a disagreement among the
conferees upon certain amendments
