I ] AMALGAMATE FOR WOMAN
 SUFFRAGE
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Politic- ians got it straight from headquarters here that the Women's Party and the Congressional Union for Woman Suf, in March.
 The Woman's Party is composed ex- clusively of woman voters Merber- ship in it is limited to the women of the twelve suffrage states and it has grown so rapidly that it now boasts membership one thousand greater than the Congressional Unions mem bership in the thirty-six non-suffrage states.
 The proposed union of these two important organizations is looked upon by politicians as evidence that the fight for passage of the federal suf- frage amendment is to be pressed harder from now on.
 First intimation that the voting and non-voting women of the country in tCiiu to "Clc 1llO OIle OT- ganization came when calls for a con- vention of the Congressional Union and a convention of the Womans Party were issued coincidently. These conventions will be held jointly at the national headquarters of the Congress sional Union, March IA, inclusive.
 Miss Alice Paul, head of the Con- gressional Union, and officials of the Woman's Party, stated that the execu- tive committees of both the Union and the Woman's Party would recommend that the two associations be merged under the name of the National Wom- ans Party.
 Supporting the women voters the whole machinery of the Congressional Union in the thirty-six non-suffrage states will be used to bring pressure to bear upon congress and the White House. The Union officials are con vinced that if President Wilson can be induced to use his influence with his party the passage of the federal amendment will be assured.
 Plans for this joint campaign by the women of the suffrage and non-suff- rage states will be discussed and de- cided upon at the March convention immediately after the amalgamation of the two progressive suffrage or ganizations is affirmed.
 About 5000 women are expected to attend the convention, which promises to be one of the most important suf- frage gatherings ever held in the country. The convention will be held at the national headquarters of the Congressional Union here in the 'lit tie White House." It will open with a reception on the night of March 1, and will terminate in mighty demon stration at the big White House on March If.
 Miss Mabel Vernon, of Delaware is chairman of the committee on ar rangements; Miss Helena Hill Weed of Connecticut, is chairman of the credentials committee, and Miss Edith GoOde, of Washington, has been made chairman of the important committee on hospitality.

Former stars of the cinder patch and field will address the candidates for the team, giving them the benefit of the knowledge acquired in competition. These lectures were inaugurated last season, and 1t is said by the coach that they have proved decided SIC. cess by imparting useful hints that otherwise only can be acquired by experience. It is required that the team attend these lectures as punctili- ously as the regular workouts on the field. The Stanford track schedule of meets for the present season is the heaviest in several years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8. - The recent statement made by Ed Maier, former owner of the Vernon club, of the Pacific coast baseball league. that his team was deprived of the cham pionship last season owing to alleged machinations on the part of rival man. agers is not expected to result in any action by league officials. Aside from characterizing the charge as unfound. ed. no particular notice appears to have been taken of Maier's statement by Presiden Allan Baum or his asso- ciates
 Under the circumstances it is gen. erally believed that, aside from fur nishing some momentary winter gos- sip for the baseball enthusiasts, noth- ing more will be heard of the affair. at least officially
 On the other hand, that Maier may make some attempt at organizing a state baseball league. is not consid- cred out of the realm of possibility That this might in measure en- croach on the field of the present or ganization is admitted, but at the same time it is pointed out that with the short time left before the new train ing season begins. 1t appears unlikely that the personnel of the teams and the playing fields can be secured, at least for this year.

According to Sir Cavill, one time swimming champion, and now instruc- tor at the Olympic Club of San Fran cisco, the field of entrants for the mid-Pacific swimming championships at Honolulu on February 19 repre- sents as noted a galaxy of champions as has even been brought together in competition.
 Cavill is of the opinion that the swimmers who have entered from the United States have a splendid chance of lowering records and gives his req sons.
 "The men have been swimming in practice over here in water that is considerably colder than the water in which they will compete at the is- lands. With the warmer water, their speed should be increased. The only thing they will have to guard against is staying in the water too long dur ing the preliminary days. It is a great temptation, to do so under the mild climatic conditions that exist over there."
 Californians will watch the work of both Ross and Langer with special interest, for they are both expected to create new records.

WI MUST SACRIFICE TO WIN.

sH-
The United States entered the war
with Germany because it was forced
to take the step as one of self pro-
lection to itself and its people. Ger
man aggression had passed all bounds
and it could be clearly seen that the
treatment OF the United States as a
neutral was of so wanton a nature as
to make it a threat of what would
happen after the war If perchance
Germany became the victor IN h
European conflict.
The war is going to cost this

with Germany victor it would have
cost more. Our people must pay. but

Remembering this, we should rec
ognize that Increased taxation is he
absolute necessity. and in this matter
We call attention to the following
from the New York World:
Income taxes in the proposed war
revenue bill are raised to rates which
startle some people. Compared with
the old rates, they are well calculated
to attract attention not to start cries
of ~contiscation.
"But there are other comparisons
in which to study the proposals. The
present law takes nothing from the
married man with an income of 49,
600; the proposed law would take $40.
or 2 per cent a year on the exces Over
$1,000. But the present British in
| come tax takes SAL from such an in
come. On an income of $4,000 the
proposed American tax would be $50

proposed American tax $440 on a $1O,-

! $3.50. On incomes of $1,000, 900 the
proposed tax is '$319,106. against a
! British tax of SALE, 900"
If the proposed American taxes are
c%onfiscatory, what are~the British
taxes to be called? But these British
emergency taxes in no case exceed
41.5 per cent of income, and in the
! cases of smaller incomes they range
down as low as SO per cent. With
us they range from about 35 Der cent
! on the highest to much less than
per cent on the smallest. Not as
, severe on excessive incomes as f.
British rates, they are far more len
lent on the smaller incomes.

sary. Where now it is proposed tc

SALT AND CARCOAL FOR HOGS.

Salt and charcoal should be provided
to furnish mineral matter for hogs
They may be fed separately, but !" is
advisable to add salt to the charcoal. as
it mixes it more palatable nd is especi-

Salt should be available at all times.
1t is best to keep it in an open shed
where it can be protected from the

Tanks Led The Way.
All of the stereotyped rules of pre-
paration for war and of the actual bat
tie strategy itself were thrown aside in
the British coup.
Sometime onday night a large num-
Der of British tanks took teir berth be-
ind the lines. The Germans didn t hear
them; it was too dark for them to be
seen.
In the early morning Tuesday these
monsters crawled forth in the hazy light
between darkness and daylight. A
smoke barrage concealed their camouf-
laged sides. The Germans didn' It know
they were in action until they rumbled
and wheezed over their heads.
The Hindenburg line-the impreg-
nable, the yielding, the last word
in defenses-was taken, therefore, with
out single preparatory gumshot.
How complete was the surprise for
the Germans was evidenced in the fact
that at one point a German division
was in process of relieving another at
the very moment of the attack.
Last nights report from Field Mar
shal Haig specified operations extend
ing in all from the river Scarpe to
st. Quentin, front of nearly 40 miles,
Today's report, however, does not spe-
city the exact frontage on which the
line was broken, merely announcing it
was "wide." The British may have
started their drive at scores of points
along the various parts of the 40 mile
line and later concentrated at certain
strategic sections. This would seem to
be borne out by the great advances
made directly opposite Cambria.
The concentration apparently cen
tered there, where the largest gains
were reported.
