SUFFRAGE
President Tells New York Women
He Favors Their Cause.
Says Now Is Time For States to
Take Favorable Action-Lauds
Wom@n's War Work.

Washington, Oct. 27.-A delegation
of New York suffragets was received
by President Wilson and assured of
his hearty support in the special cleo
ton in the Empire state.
They were told to bear his ap-
prevail of woman suffrage back to
the voters of the Empire state. In
urging votes for women by states,
the president said he was doing no
more than carrying out the mandates
of his party.
The president gave no indication
of change from his stand against
a national woman suffrage amend
but said:
Should Act Now.
1T is time for people of the states
Of this country to show the world in
what practical sense they have
learned the lessons of democracy,
that they are fighting for democracy
because they believe in it and that
there is no application of democracy
which they do not believe in.
1T seems to me that this is the
time for the states of the Union to
take this action.''
The president praised the war work
of Americas women highly. He said
he regarded the question OF woman
suffrage as lone of those questions
which lie at the foundation of organ
lied life of men who have been more
deeply touched by the present war
than by any struggle that has ever
taken place before"

those aboard the Antilles came with
the shock Of the explosion of the tor.
pedo, many theories were current as
to how the U1boat crept through tho
destroyer screen, did it's work and es-
capped unchallenged.
A majority of the officers who would
comment thought the transport and
her conveying patrols had ran directly
over a lurking submarine, which saw
them coming, calculated the distance
and launched her deadly torpedo with.
out ever showing more than her peri,
scope. They regard it as probable
that the U-boat commander picked his
place, lay in wait below the surface
until his microphones told him the
patrols had passed and the transport
was upon him, then shot his periscope
above water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to
safety.
Rescue Work Prevents Pursuit.
Any attempt to locate the submarine
probably was made impossible by the
necessity Of rescuing the survivors.
The vessel must have been virtually
torn in half by the explosion to have
gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made we'll
out at sea. 1t took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The sur
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng
land.
So far as known, no high officers Of
the army or navy we're due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point, however, as
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
so far show that number Of army
officers and 80 enlisted army men
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tidings off before he
communicated with General Pershing.
Is First Transport Hit.
The loss of the Antilles marks the
first reduction Of the transport fleet
that has been operating. A very con-
siderable number of American troops,
workmen and others involved in the
prosecution of the war have been car
led safely to France and England and
the unsuccessful attack on the first
contingent is the only recorded previ-
Gus instance where the U-boats have
succeeded even in catching sight of
the vessels.
