OMAHA SUFFS TO
CELEBRATE THEIR
Big n. VICTORY
Are So EIated They Can Not
Formulate Plans at Present
For Their Big Mass y
Meeting.

Omaha suffragists plan monster
mass meeting and a dinner to cele-
brate the victory of votes for women
in New York. "OT Joy is so un-
bounded We can hardly calm down
enough to formulate the plans today"
said Mrs. Draper Smith,. former state
suffrage president. "We would have
a big bonfire were it not wartime.
I'm so happy l could start parade
this morning"
Suffragists' telephones were. busy
all morning, leaders of the movement
calling each other for congratula-
tions and to discuss the "surprise of
their lives as most Of the1n% ex-
pressed it. W. r7
"a suffrage victory in New York
seemed so, impossible. said. Mrs!
Smith, with its large foreign element
and its corporation-ridden influence"
Look for Effect in Congress.
Mrs. Smith is especially jubilant
over the effect the New York victory
will have on the federal suffrage
amendment in congress in December.
New York's large representation in
the House will strengthen the vote in
favor of the amendment.
3 Passage Of the. national amendment
is assured" said Mrs. Smith.
1T doesn't seem possible" said Mrs.
H. {. Sumney, Il nearly tainted when
l read the Morning Bees returns. The
suffrage victory shows -the turn of
sentiment and is proof of the fact that
thinking people were not affected by
the silly picketing at Washington
Hard work and perfect organization

by the women in the recent suffrage
parade in New York, Over 100000
women want the vote these million
signatures having been secured by
workers under Mrs. James Laidlaw,
also had pronounced effect. It's the
beginning of the end of the suffrage
fight" II
Very Little Campaigning.
Mrs. Sumney points out the fact
that very little campaigning for suf-
frage was done before Tuesdays elec-
tion. "The women were too busy with
war work. don't see when they
had time to do any campaigning.

OFFICERS OF OLD
DANDY SIXTH
0SSP0ND soon
Captain Whipperman Tells
Where the Various Omaha
Men Are Now Located
at Deming.

Many of the officers OF the old
Dandy Sixth Nebraska regiment at
Deming, N. NJ, will so TO France
probably within a month, to take in
tensive training there and then re-
turn to train contingents in America.
Most of the officers of the Omaha
companies of the Dandy Sixth are
now in the Fifty-ninth Depot brigade
at Deming since the Sixth was dis
banded and its units thrown into
other contingents.
Captain Frank Whipperman, for
merly captain of Company C of the
Sixth Nebraska, has been in Omaha
for some days on a furlough, and will
leave for Deming at once. II am ex-
pecting that | will be among the Of
ficers of the Fifty-ninth to be sent to
France soon to take intensive train
ing and instruction." said Captain
Whipperman.
Concrete Battleships.
Captain Whipperman believes that
concrete will play an important part
in the winning of the war. Of course
he is a concrete expert, as, he is presi-
dent of the Omaha Concrete Stone
company.
when at the last cement show in
Omaha | announced that concrete
battleships would eventually be built"
said Whipperman, 81 was laughed at.
They thought l was too wild. But |
still insist that will be the case. One
can, build a concrete battleship or
transport in small fraction of the
time it takes TO build steel clad ship
and with half the cost. A shell would
simply bore a hole through the con-
crete and this would be repaired
much more readily than steel ships.
Concrete barges are in use now, and
concrete transport is. being built"
Captain Whipperman told what has
become of all of the officers Qf the
Omaha battalion of the Dandy Sixth.

COORDINATION Among Allies.
In making the announcement Sec

with the object of perfecting a more
complete coordination of the activi-
ties of the allied nations in. order to
attain the highest efficiency. This is
the American governments first def
mite announcement of the purpose of
the meeting.
Even the fact that the Americans
were to participate in the conference
had been a carefully guarded secret
until they were through the submar-
inc zone and safe on British soil. The
part that the United States is to play
in framing the great allied program
is emphasized by the fact that the
mission, headed by President Wilson's
personal friend and adviser, includes
the highest officers of the army and
navy.
Essentially a War Conference.
Secretary Lansing made this state
ment:
"The government of the United
States will participate in the ap-

Perkins, representing priority board
and Gordon Auchincloss, as secretary.
The conference is essentially a
war conference with the+ object of
perfecting more complete co-ordina-
ton Of the activities of the various
nations engaged in the conflict and
the more comprehensive understand
ing of the respective needs in order
that the joint efforts of the co-belli.
gerents may attain the highest war
efficiency.
Discuss All Phrases.
While a definite plan has not been
adopted it may be assumed that the
subjects to be discussed will embrace
not only those pertaining to military
and naval operations, but also the f.
nancial, commercial, economic and
other phases of the present situation
