SILENT SENTINELS
TO WATCH WILSON
Suffragists Announce Women
Pickets Will Guard White
House Grounds.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.--woman suf-
fragists, after another futile appeal to
President Wilson to-day for his support
of the Susan b. Anthony amendment. an
nounced plans for retaliation by picket
ing the White House grounds with
silent sentinels." Their purpose il to
make it impossible for the President to
enter or leave the White House without
encountering sentinel bearing some
device pleading the suffrage cause.
The move was acknowledged to be a
step in the new policy of mild militancy,
which began with the coup in the House
gallery on December 6. when party of
sufrragists unfurled votes-for women
banner while the President was making
his opening address.
After the audience to-day the women
returned to headquarters of the Con-
gressional Union. formed their new plans
and held meeting pledging $4,000 for
the 'silent sentinel" campaign
Headed by Miss Maud Younger and
Mrs. Sara Bard Field. 800 suffragists
from the Congressional Union went to
see the President. ostensibly to present
memorials on the death of Mrs. Inez
Milholland Boissevain. Because of the
AFFAIR in the House gallery in December
there was some difficulty in arranging
the audience. but the President con-
sented to receive the women.
When they made II the occasion to
renew their pleas that he support the
suffrage amendment the President ex-
pressed his surprise.
II had not been appraised that you
were coming here to make any repre-
/ sentations or would issue an appeal to
