White House Pickets Gone, but
Women Hint at New Move
Capital Police Sigh with Relief Getting Definite Orders
to Arrest Banner Bearers-Campagn Not Over
Declare Militant Sufragists

TO arrest and being despoiled Of their
banners BY the police.
AZ Police Headquarters the two ban
ner bearers were informed that they
mad been arrested for blocking traffic
and unlawful assemblage. They were
released on their own recognlzance and
no date was set for the trial.
Quote Wilson's Words
It developed that the sufragists not
only took their banners out again to-
day. under advice of counsel. but that
they had sprung a surprise on the pO-
lice. Instead Of banners bearing in
scrlptlons characterized as treason
able" and offensive" they bore ban
ners inscribed with phrases from some
OF President Wilson's addresses 10 Con-
gress, referring 20 the dedication of
America 20 the rights Of democracy.
The sufragists issued a statement
insisting that the banner bearers who
were arrested had acted in a peaceaoie
manner and only stood on their rights
as citizens "to advance their cause by
means of reasonable argument
Surely" the statement says. you
consider the Presidents own words
reasonable argument"
The banner which led TO the arrests
to-day carried this sentence from
President Wilson's war message:
I'VE will fight for the things we
have always held nearest our hearts
for democracy for the right OF those
who submit 20 authority 70 have
voice in their own government
May Try Again
Leaders at suffrage headquarters
were undecided after the arrest OF
the two women whether another ef-
fort would be made 20 display a banner.
Some were inclined to favor waiting
the outcome of the trial of the two
women, but others took an opposite
view. Several leaders said tonight
that an attempt would be made again
tomorrow to display banners at White
House gates. Police orders TO pre-
vent gatherings of any sort in front
Of the White House, which led 70 the
two arrests to-day, were unchanged TO-
night.

Catholics and Army
Agree on Chaplains

Washington. June 22.-The War De-
partment has agreed 20 apportIon Ro-
man Catholic chaplains to the army on
the basis Of Church membership. This
arrangement is satisfactory 70 Church
authorities, it was learned to-day.
The Catholic Church membership VIII
be established by the annual religious
census compiled by DR.. II. X. CAIRO !!
from the aggregate returns, Of which
returns 90 per cent will be deducted
by the War Department 20 compensate
fer the Roman Catholic Church's prac-
tice Of enrolling children as members
Dr. Carroll in his estimates OF Catho-
lie adult membership deducts only 10
per cent, but the War Department be-
lieves a per cent greater reduction
will give more accurate figures.
Adjutant General Mccain has the
army chaplain apportionment under
consideration and expects TO ratify in
a few days the tentative arrangement
recently agreed on with the Church
authorities.
For several days The War Depart
ment has received protests from Catho-
lies in all parts Of the country against
the reduction in the number Of Catho-
lie chaplains assigned 10 the army.

Washington, June 22.-The suffrage
picket riots, which have furnished free
vaudeville in front Of the White House
for the last three days, ended abruptly
to-day. with almost everybody happy
and satisfied.
The Congressional Union workers,
who have been picketing the White
House since Congress met last Decem-
Der. are happy, despite the fact that
the picketing is over. Two of their
number have been arrested, with the
result that they are going to have
trials, with perfectly lovely publicity.
Their leaders say picketing is not over
but the police don't believe them.
The police are happy because the
pickets have been worrying them for a
long time. There have been rather
stringent orders not to arrest the pick
cts. it being realized that arrests, with
prospective trials and hunger strikes,
were just what the sufragettes wanted.
The police are also happy because they
don't have to stand guard to prevent
mild riots every day.
The White House folks are happy
because they are not annoyed every
time they enter or leave the White
House grounds by the sight Of the
brightly garbed pickets. bearing ban
ners with embarrassing questions.
PubIic Wanted Action
Only the dear public is not happy.
II wanted TO see some more riots, and
there was marked disappointment when
the police took the matter firmly in
hand early to-day by arresting the
banner bearers. and confscating their
banners before the crowd had chance
to perform.
Yesterday, when Mrs. Dee Richardson
tore a banner from a picket's han Is
and tore out some Of her hair, was a
much better "show" than to-day, when
the suffrage pickets mildly submitted

America Seeks Aid
Of Officers Abroad

Washington, June 22.-The War Col
lege is formulating a plan 70 utilize
the services Of Americans holding COM
missions in foreign armies, according
10 the statement Of a high official to-
day. II is the intention of the War
Department, II was stated. 20 use these
veterans both as officers Of the line and
as instructors.
The question Of citizenship cousti-
tutes the most serious difficulty. Many
Of these officers were automatically ex-
patriated in taking the oath Of allegi-
ance to foreign government, and this
is az least a temporary bar TO their en-
listment in the service of the United
States. Moreover, their accession 10
the fighting forces Of the United States
is promised on the willingness of for
eign governments 70 grant discharges.
In no case will the War Department
press for the discharge Of American Of
ficers abroad, il was said, where such
action would impose hardships.

The American manufacturers OF

british themselves. Under what

declare. Great Britain takes about half
the butter exports OF Denmark, permit

England could not absolutely control,
even II she would, but il is declared
that some articles from the British
Isles find their way into Germany
through Denmark under system
which the British government knows
all about and has not stopped.
The American manufacturers also
noint out that a bill 20 stop all such
trading was introduced in the British
Parliament, but so much opposition de-
veloped 20 it that IL was never brought
20 a vote.

Moncheur Tells Senate Belgium
Prefers Death to Dishonor
Stricken Nation Does Not Regret Her Decision, Baron
Asserts-Says American Sympathy Has Strength
ened Courage of His Countrymen

Washington. June 22-Baron Mon
cheur, head OF the Belgian mission. to-
day addressed the United States SEN
ate as follows:
You all know the unspeakable evils
which have befsllen my unfortunate
country-the uuprovokod invasion. ac-
compsnied by deliberate system of
terror, the burning Of many OF our
thriving cities and Of innumerable vii
lagos, the massacre OF thousands OF
our peaceful citizens, the pillage and
devastation of our country.
Then followed the iron hand of for
eign domination, enormous war con-
tributions exscted from all the nine
provinces Of Belgium, ruinous requisi-
tions Of all sorts from our people, the
seizure OF the raw material Of in
dustry, and even the theft of our ma
ehirery, which was sent into the coun-
try of our enemy for his own use; so
that now the silence Of death reigns in
our industrial centres, which before
had been the most active in Europe.
You also know, gentlemen. the way
in which this regime Of oppression has
teen carried out-eighty thousand Bel
gians condemned in the space Of one
year to various penalties for having
displeased the invader; as, for ex-
ample. the noble burgomaster Of Brus-
sells, who has been in Imprisonment for
the last two years for trying 10 uphold
the principle Of civic liberty which for
centuries has been so dear TO all Bel
gians.
Horrors of Deportation

tation of our workmen into Germany
crime the horrors Of which, according
to the opinion of one of your country
men, should cause more Indignation
I throughout the entire world than all
[ the previous outrages against the sa-
, cred principles of justice and of hu-
manity.
But Belgium, even in the midst OF
/ the terrible misfortunes which have
been brought upon her by her fidelity
20 treaties. and by respect for her
plighted word, does not regret her de-
cision, and there is not a single Bel
gian worthy of the name who does not

that IL is better 20 die, II need be.
