PRESIDENT ENDORSES
SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
Expresses Hope New York
Will Give Handsome
Majority.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 3o.-A letter
from President Wilson and a telegram
from James w. Gerard, former ambas-
sador to Germany, >indorsing the fight
of New York state woman suffragists
to obtain the enfranchisement of
women through constitutional
amendment at the state elections in
November, were reead today before
the New Work State Woman Suffrage
Party, in conference here, by Mrs.
Norman Der Whitehouse, the chair
man. President Wilson's letter fol-
lows:
II learn with sincere pleasure of
your impression of a growing senti-
ment in the State of New York in
favor of woman suffrage and I shall
look forward with the greatest interest
to the results of the state conference
which you are planning to hold In
Saratoga. May I not express the hope
that that conference will lead to a very
widespread interest in your campaign
and that your efforts will be crowned
with the most substantial and satisfac-
tory success.
II hope that the voters of the state
of New York will rally to the support
of woman suffrage by a handsome ma
jority 1t would be a splendid vindi-
cation of the principle of the cause in
which we all believe
Mr. Gerard in his telegram said the
great number of women employed in
manufacturing trades and commerce
have a right to vote on matters which
now affect them vitality as men and
that the war will add to their num-
ber." The ."quiet, dignifed woman"
should not be deprived if right to
vote because of the misbehaviour Of
a reckless minority of militant suffra-
gettes, Mr.. Gerard declared. He said
that the proportion Of hot heads
among women is not greater than
among men,

AMERICA FIGHTING
FOR GERMAN PEOPLE
Secretary Daniels Says Battle is Not
Alone for Democracy of
Other Lands.

Charleston, W. Va, Aug. sO.-sec-
retary Daniels, speaking here today
at the breaking of ground for the
government arnor plate and projec-
tile plant, declared that America Is
fighting not only for the dem ocratic
nations of the world, but is waging
''the battle of the people of the Ger
man empire themselves"
Germany began this war for
place in the sum-" said the secretary.
1T has conducted it with the idea
that 1t must have the place in the
sun-and the only place. We believe
that there can be no place in the
sunshine for any nation on earth un-
derneath the ominous shadow of the
Prussian eagle, no sunshine even for
the people of Germany themselves" +"
Mr.. Daniels asserted that "in pre-
pairing for terrible war the navy
Is taking the surest means to bring
about an early and effective peace"
The secretary declared that the
government had been dilatory in pro-
viding for its war needs. Had atten-
ton been given to the far sighted ad-
vocates Of preparedness, he said, the
country would not have entered the
war with wholly inadequate facilities.

New York, Aug. 30.-Pride, patrio-
tic fervor and the emotion that go
with farewell greeting seemed to grip
with a common intensity the two
millions of people who watched the
rank upon rank Of khaki swing by.
The troops, New York states former
National Guard, now the 27th division
of the United States army, marched
before leaving for their preliminary
training at Sparta (ourg, S. c., so that
the city might gi>G them a send off,
worthy of their ultimate mission.
They called forth roars of cheers that
were almost continuous for the more
than hours it took the division to
march from 116th street to Washing
ton square.
Unless it may be the unpublished
number already in France this divi-
sion formed the largest number of
American troops yet modified since
the United States entered the war.
Fifth avenue, scene of many par
AIDES, never before was so packed with
humanity as it was today. For five
miles, two solid lines of people were
banked eight and ten deep against
shop window and houses, bulging a
half black at every cross street and
held from overflowing by a thin but
efficient Gordon of police. The thor
oughfare itself was a blaze with the
stars and stripe and flags of the Allies,
while every spectator, it seemed, car

VORWAERTS EXPOSES
OFFER TO RUSSIA
Socialist Organ Insists Separate
Peace Proposal Was rendered to
Government at Petrocrad.

Copenhagen, Apg. 30.-The state
ment that an offer of a separate
peace was made to Russia recently by
the German government is published
In the socialist newspaper vorwaerts
or Berlin. 1t Is brought out by the
assertion of Premier Kerensky in his
speech at the Moscow conference
that Russia "a little time ago" re-
phed Indignantly to a proposal to
conclude a separate peace and that a
lew days ago., we witnessed another
attempt equally base, directed against
our Allies.
In this connection, the semi official
Nord Deutsche Allegimine Zeitung
again is detected by the German
press in an attempt to throw dust in
the eyes Of the world and the Ger
man public by ostensibly denying
premier Kerensky's account of the
overtures to Russia and it's allies
which is characterized as in reality
being no denial at all. The Tage-
blatt, the Vorwaerts and Vossiche
Zeltung call attention to a trick of
the semi-official organ in denying
that such overtures were made by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H H ollweg,
whereas, M. Kerensky did not men,
ton the former chancellor, specify
ing that the, proposal to Russias al
lies was made a few days ago-that
is, since the retirement of DR.. Won
Hollweg.
The Vorwaerts adds that such an
offer actually was made to Russia,
although not by DR.. Won Bethmann,
etc. 1t says the organ Of Chancellor
Michaelis would be right in claiming
that Germany had done what it could
to open a path to peace by adoption
of the Reichstag's peace resolutions
if DR.. Michaelis had acted from the
standpoint Of the resolution without
conditions, wobbling and reserva-
tions. Unfortunately he has not
done this, the Vorwaerts asserts. but
has permitted the opponents of the
resolution to claim it for their own.

Negus and TryOn Bound
Over to Superior Court
on $4,000 Bonds.

North Branford, Aug. 30.-Wesley
Negus and William J. Tryon, motor
man and conductor respectively Of
Shore Line Electric railway car which
wrecked another car from New Ha-
ven on Aug. 13, were brought before
Justice of the Peace F. o. Burr today
and pleaded not guilty to the charge
Of manslaughter. Each was held in
$4,000 bail for. the superior court
which will sit in New Haven next
month. The men were brought here
from the county Jail by automobile
there by the same means following
their arraignment.
AS the wreck occurred within this
towns limit the preliminary action to
bring the men to trial had to be taken
here.
. The complaint was based on finding
Of Deputy Coroner Wynne who held
the crew Of this car criminally re-
sponsible for the death Of John H.
Cannon. a retired insurance agent Of
New Haven. Nineteen persons died
as a result of the wreck.
The accused did not indicate while
here whether they expected to obtain
bail or not.
A warrant was later issued under
new law which provides a 81 1000
fine or ten years in prison, or both,
for any railway employe who through
gross negligence, causes the death of
any person or injury to g. person
either upon car or in the highway.
The law is chapter 12S OF the Acts
of 1917, and probably they are the
first arrests under that law. States
Attorney Alling attended the hearing.
The men will be tried before the su-
perior court on the new charge.
