WASHINGTON. May 14.-Appearing
with the committee Of representatives
OF all political parties which the
President had consented TO see to-
day, Miss Mabel Vernon. of Nevada,
one OF the appointed committee, at
tempted to put the President on rec
ord on suffrage as a war measure at
this time. In her brief appeal to the
President, for the first time since its
utterance, she quoted the Presidents
own war message to him.
Mr.. President" said Miss Vernon.
you have said, We shall fight for
the things We have always carried
nearest our hearts-for democracy.
for the right Of those who submit to
authority to have a voice in their own
governments.
ITO every woman who reads your
words must come at once the ques-
ton: II the right of those who sub
nit to authority TO have d voice in
their own government is so sacred
in the case Of foreign peoples as to
constitute a reason for entering upon
an international war i'm its defense,
why then do you not as President
give immediate aid TO the measure
before Congress extending self-gov-
ernment TO the women of our own
country?
III we would have our voice heard
with conviction by the nations Of Eu-
rope-nations which, with one ac-
cord are increasing political liberty
within their own borders, we must
speak with sincerity ourselves. We
must give honestly in our own land
that political liberty which we ask
for them, but without free
dom for women-is still unrealized
in America"
j. A. II Hopkins, New Jersey Pro
gressiye who aided the President in
his campaign, was chairman Of the
deputation and also asked support for
the federal suffrage amendment.

present were: John Spargo. of New

Because the men under the COM

None Of us apprehended danger. "
she writes I'VE thought that even to
Germans a hospital ship would be sa-
cred. I could not believe any nation
would countenance conduct so da5-
tardly, so inexpressible.
Fortunately we had landed about
900 sick cases Nobody was aboard
except the regular crew and the medi
cal and nursing staff.
But the Germans could not have
known this. So far as outward signs
would indicate, our ship was sill full

The submarine unless Il happens

Appointment Stirs
=. Bourbon Circles

With the commissioning Of Harry
e. Murray as a captain in the q. 8.
Officers Reserve Corps, and the prob
ability of his being called to the main
land for active service, scramble
of Democratic applicants for the posi-
ton as superintendent of the water
and sewer department under the new
city administration is anticipated In
political circles.
Applications by the scores have
poured into the Bourbon central COM
mittee for jobs, and it is possible
although none of the names have been
made public, that q number Of these
applicants are after Murray's job.
. 1t is announced in Democratic cir
cles, however, that the plan of the
powers back of the Bourbon, throne is
to consolidate the offices of city engi-
neer and superintendent Of water and
sewers, and name one man to fill
both. w. A. Wall has been mentioned
as the probable selection of Mayor
elect J. ]. Fern for this position.
The Republicans have hardly yet
had time to digest the news and no
plans as to lining up a successor to
Murray will be laid until it is known
whether the water superintendent will
be called to duty before Mayor Lane
leaves office.

TODISCUSSPLAN
TO COMBAT VICE
Meeting Called for Saturday
on Resolution Backing Mill
tary Zones Around Army
Posts

Outdoor Circle members have beeU
called into a special meeting Satur
day morning at 10 o'clock to discuss
and commercialized vice on Oahu.
The resolution is similar to that
backed last week by college women
through the local branch of the Asso-
citation of College Alumnae, and is, n
brief, to secure a federal order Great
ing an effective zone around mill.
tary camps free from liquor and pros
titution.
The meeting Saturday is to be held
in the makai pavilion Of the Young
Hotel to consider the following resolu-
ton presented by the war service
commission of the local alumnae:
Resolved, That the Outdoor Circle
hereby expresses its earnest desire to
further in every way possible the re-
quest Of the general medical board
already presented to Secretary Baker
and to the council of national defense
that there be created about all mill
tary camps an effective zone within
which the sale Of liquor and the pres
ence Of prostitutes are prohibited. We
respectfully but urgently petition the
war department TO create such zones
about all camps now existing or here
after to be established and to estab-
lish military camps only on condition
that such zones be created and that
adequate regulations for the NORA
protection of the men be enforced.
"In order that such protection may
be secured, we petition the
war department to demand as q pre-
to- the .estabii shment of. al
camp at any place the col
operation of the municipal authorities
in the removal of every vicious resort |
In the vicinity and the maintenance
Of complete absence of such resorts
throughout the period of the existence
of the camp upon penalty of its re-
mOvaL a A1AfANN
1--WE petition further that the war
adopt as part Of its po-
icy of moral sanitation not merely
the prevention of the spread of ven
ereal disease, but the prevention OF
and that the enforcement |
Of regulations to this end be not left |
to the discretion Of individual COM
but that uniform procedure
be established through military order |
from headquarters"
This is part of the movement to Sc
cure the united action Of women's |
clubs of the United States on behalf
Of such military zones free from temp |
tation to soldiers.
