Washington, December 19-A mass of data on the progress of shipbuilding was assembled today by shipping board off cials in preparation for the Senate com merce committees investigation of the shipbuilding programme to start proba- bly, Friday
 The committee will meet tomorrow to lay plans for the investigation. Senator Fletcher, it's chairman, conferred for an hour today with Chairman Hurley of the shipping board, and MT. Hurley after ward saw President Wilson. Senator Fletcher was told by MT. Hurley that the board would welcome a thorough inquiry and that when all the facts were presented it would be shown that the shpbuilding programme is not so entan- gled in difficulties as members of Con- gress have declared it to be.
 MT. Hurley probably will be called Fri day as the first witness. Because of this he gave up tonight a trip he had planned to Newark bay, where he was to drive tomorrow the first rivet in the first fabricated steel ship laid down by the Submarine Boat corporation

WOMAN IN AR MACHINE VALUABLE

This Is Ruth Laws Conten- tion-Dent Does Not Fa- vor Special Legislation
 for Aviatrix
py HUGH w. RoBERTs

" Washington, December 19.-(Special.) Representative Hurlburt of New York has introduced a bill providing for the acceptance of Ruth Law into the signal corps of the United States army The bill has been referred by Chairman Dent of the military committee to the Sec retary of War.
 Miss Law has heard rumblings of op- position to her desire to serve the coun- try and has called to Washington 30 other women fliers in order to demon- strate her contention that woman in the air is as valuable as d man in the same place.
 Mr. Dent states that he is not fully convinced that women should be admit ted to service. He is convinced, how ever that if one woman is given the right to enlist all women should be given such right. In the long run a compromise may be reached whereby all women, judged proficieny, may have op- portunity to serve their country
 'T am exceedingly anxious that the airplane programme be completed said Mir. Dent. 'I am thoroughly convinced that if we are to whip Germany in the near future, it must be as a result

Newly Organized War Council Meets First Time,
 But Nothing Is Done

Washington, December 19-The new ly created war council of the war de- partment met today for the first time, but did nothing more than inspect possible quarters in the state. war and navy building. Considerable space will be necessary to accommodate the big staff of officers and clerks needed to carry on the work and one of the bu- reaus now in the war building will probably be moved to another struc- ture.
 The formation of the councils ma chinery had not been begun today, 50 far as was announced.

of our superiority in the air. To whip them by pushing them back few miles in a few years is now apparently inn possible.
 If women can serve m airplanes as well as men, perhaps we should permit them to serve. However, l do not think it would be wise to enact legislation in favor of a single woman. I have every reason to believe that Miss Ruth would prove acceptable. But there are others For instance, I note in The Age-Herald where Katherine Stinson. who has the honor of having been born in Birming- ham, and who was the first woman to loop the loop has established new dis tance and endurance records. There should be nothing preventing this Ala bama girl flying over German trenches if such opportunity is outheld to Miss Law or any other woman

SOBER JUDGMENT AGAINST TT

"The sober judgment of this country, north and south, is against woman suf- frage, but it is unorganized, while the suffragists are organized and aggressive and rely upon threats to sway political parties and members of Congress and of the legislatures from the path of convic- ton. Public men should be true to con- science in the face of threats, and must be if our republic is to endure. Yet loyal public servants are entitled to the support of their constituents.

the adoption of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment will mean "polit- teal, social and economic disaster to the south" Chancellor Allison gives his reasons as follows
 '"To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 That the adoption of the Susan E. Anthony woman suffrage amendment to the constitution of the United States now before Congress threatens the south with political, social and economic disaster will appear from careful examination of the following comparisons:
 "Continental United States;
 Population 1910). 91,972.266 col- ored population, 9,S27,763; members of Congress. 437; members electoral co!- 1ege, 533 vote (t916). 18.495. .901; pro- portion of popular voting. .2010.

For F days the mercury has dropped below freezing at some hour of each day and for four days, the 10th to 18th, the thermometer did not rise above freezing al any time. From the 9th to tie 15th the daily mean temperature
 was below freezing on every day.
 As regards low temperatures how the negro population of the country
 must confront negro domination and
 the loss of representation in Congress
 and in the electoral college. The q
 man-suffrage states mentioned, of they
 equal the record made in 1916 by the 12
 double suffrage states. will bring 3S
 per cent of their population. men and
 women, to the polls, and will make all

 side the 2 southern states over &C.,

 ship in the electoral college and tbe Congress of the United States.
 The south might prefer reduction of her representation in Congress and in the electoral college to such aggra vation of her race problem as would be involved in tfe admission to the ballot of every adult negro and ne- gress within her borders. However, the choice will be made for her. The states casting the 26, 100000 ballots are certain to demand a revision of repre- sentation in Congress and in the elec- toral college, and the National Ameri- can Woman suffrage association, as measure of self-defense, is certain to insist on voting population S the basis of representation in the government
 STRIKE OUT WORD MALE"
 "This association, on January 21, 1917 issued a proclamation indorsing the amendment to the fourteenth amend ment to the constitution of the United States proposed by Senator Miles Poin dexter of the state of Washington. This is a proposition to strike the word male from the fourteenth amendment as a preliminary to making the number Of votes cast by both men and women the basis of states representation in Congress. The adoption of the Susan E. Anthony amendment would prepare the way for the PoindeXter amendment and for the enforcement of the four teenth amendment as amended.
 "The National American Woman Suf- frage association is confronted by the fact that in the woman suffrage states generally most women have repealed the law as it applies to them by declining to vote. Such a situation threatens the of woman suffrage by re- vealing that it is distasteful to most women. The remedy is a law compelling all eligible men and women, white or black, to vote.
 "The proposed Poindexter amendment to the fourteenth amendment, by basing the states representation in Congress and in the electoral college on voting population, would supply the northern states declining to enact such laws, and permitting the spectacle of the bal lots neglect by white women, or col- ored, would doubtless come in for se- were reproduction by the National Amer ican Woman Suffrage association. Their conduct could not fail to occasion re- newcd demand for federal supervision of elections so that the sacred right of the unwilling and the incapable to direct the government might be duly re- Spect ed
