SUFFRAGISTS AND
DRYS' NOT TO REST
will. Use War, If 1t Comes, to
Further Advance Their
Causes.

War or no war, two forces which
earnestly seek action by Congress
are going to camp on the trail OF
Senate and House in theI extra ses-
sion.
These are the suffragists and the
prohibitionists. Each OF these ele-
ments has plans laid to promote sub
mission of the constitutional amend
ment in which 1t is especially con-
cerned.
Congress may think It is going to
give exclusive attention to the ma
tional defense and matters apper-
tanning TO the protection OF COM
merce. But, to use a common or
garden expression, Congress has an
other think coming"
The suffragists are going to In
form Congress that the women OF
the land will suffer as much as or
more than the men by war, and that
they are entitled to have the ballot
TO be represented in matters relating
to the conduct of war.
As for the dry forces, they are
perfecting plans for hard cam
paign for the national amendment
which they seek. They hope to get
this submitted at the extra session.
But this is not the only string to
their bow. In the enthusiasm OF
war, II II is declared, the "drys" be-
lieye the American people will be
willing to go to prohibition, and
they purpose to try II by direct leg
isIation without constitutional

WARNED OF MoNoxIDE GAS
Motorists Advised Of Garage Peril
by Health Department.

Warning against carbon monoxide
gas, which has caused many deaths, Is
contained in q bulletin prepared by
the District Health Department.
Copies of the bulletin will be given
applicants for motor vehicle licenses
at the District building.
+Fumes from the exhaust of an au-
tomobile or other gasolene engine are
poisonous and often cause death"
says the bulletin. THE danger is due
to carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas contained in the fumes.
The degree of combustion in the en-
CINE has an influence upon the
amount of carbon monoxide dis
charged, but even under the best con-
ditions the amount liberated poisons
the air to a dangerous degree unless
there Is abundant ventilation.
I'm a very few minutes the air of
a small garage can be poisoned with
carbon monoxide to a dangerous de-
gree by the exhaust fumes from an
automobile even when the engine is
operated at a moderate rate Of speed.
"All persons are not equally az
fected by carbon monoxide. The symp-
toms of poisoning vary. Dizziness,
muscular weakness, headache, short
ness of breath and nausea are the
most common symptoms, but in some
cases no such symptoms appear, the
person becoming unconscious without
apparent warning, and II not prompt
ly removed from the presence of gas
death may result in q very short time.
when a person is found uncon-
scious he should be Immediately re-
moved to the outside air, placed with
the head low and artificial respiration
applied. Carbon monoxide is. how
ever, an active poison, and kills by
its positive action on the blood and
not merely by suffocation. A physi-
clan should be summoned, therefore,
in every case. Even should conscious
ness, be recovered, death may ensue as
late as the eighth day"

Twenty-four in Brazilian Ports
Could Attack American
Commerce.
ALL BUT TWO FREE TO MOVE
Two Served War Purposes at
Beginning of Great
Conflict.

RIO DE JANEIRo, March 1 (By
MaiD-There are twenty-eight Ger
man merchant ships informed in this
and other Brazilian ports today
which. rumor has It, would become
raiders of American shipping in case
Of war between the United States and
Germany.
and are valued at 100000. Half OF
them are in this port and the others
scattered about other Brazilian ports.
With two exceptions, all these ships
are at liberty to put to sea at any
time. Ever since Brazirs protest to
Germany over the submarine block
ade, attention has been focused on the
German ships by persistent stories
that several Of the informed steamers
were waiting for a favorable moment
to make their escape.
A DesoIate Group.
Anchored in an open part OF the
bay, we'll under the surveillance Of
the harbor's forts and the Brazilian
feet, these fourteen ships form a list
less and desolate group.
OF the ships interned here the
Sierra Salvada is the largest, with
4,951 tons net register. The others
are the Edenberg. 2,7s2 tons; Cap
Roca, $500 tons; Coburg. 400 tons;
Hohenstaufen, 1855 tons; Roland,
4,255 tons; Henrietta, 1921 tons: Al
rich, 4,265 tons; Carl woermann, 3,4s0
tons; Posen, 4,0e4 tons; Gertrude
woermann. 3,e6o tons; Arnold An
sinck, 2,s96 tons; Etruria, 1855 tons.
and the Franken, 1928 tons.
Besides these there were the Mu-
ansa, 1888 tons, which entered on
August 10, 1914, but sailed a few days
later for -Buenos Aires and is at pres
ent interned in Chile, and the Prus-
sia, which entered on August 20,
sailed for the Santos fve days later
and did not arrive at that port for
q month in spite OF the fact that II
Is but q days trip. An inquiry under
taken by port authorities for the pur-
pose of finding the cause of this mys-
FERROUS months disappearance did not
establish any definite results.
Probably Supplied Raider.
1t is an easy guess, however, that
the Prussia did not risk capture by
British cruisers on a mere pleasure
trip and that some raider ship bene-
fitted in supplies during her disappear
ance.
Another ship that broke the monot-
ony OF internment by venturing into
the open was the Edenberg, which
after twenty days OF lying idle sailed
for Santos, where she never arrived.
One month later the Edenberg re-
turned calmly to Rio, dropped her
anchor and landed the crew and pas
sengers OF the Indian Prince, which
had been sunk by the German auxil-
larry cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm. For
this adventure the Edenberg was or
dered under guard by the Brazilian
government
Outside of the Prussia and the
Edenberg any OF the interned German
ships have the right to leave the har-
Dor at will.
