White House Pickets
Renew Siege; 10 Jailed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.--In face Of
the fact that Attorney Matthew E.
O'Brien is on his way from Falmouth,
Mass, TO Washington with writ Of
error signed by Justice Robb, grant
ing the six Suffrage pickets arrested
Wednesday an appeal from the police
court sentence Of S25 or thirty days,
the women resumed their picketing OF
the White House gates to-day, and
were again arrested. Four other pick
cts were arrested at the same time.
The six women, who. were out on
bond awaiting the action of the Court
of Appeals, were Mrs. w. l.. Lockwood
and Mrs. Kate Boeck, Of Washington;
Mrs. Pauline Adams. Of Norfolk, Va;
Miss Margaret Fotheringham, Of Buff
falo: Mrs, Gertrude Hunter, of Min
neapolis, and Miss Clara Fuller, Of Lit
tie Falls, Mimi. Mrs. Adams and Mrs.
Lakewood carried two banners similar
TO those Of last week, both OF which
bore tho following quotations from
President WILSON,:
az tell you, solemnly, ladies and gen
tlemen, we cannot postpone justice any
longer in this United States"
And: ~ don't wish TO sit down and
let any man take care Of me without
nv having at least voice In It; and II
he doesn't listen TO my advice, l am
going to make 1t as unpleasant Tor
him as | can" =
Reinforced by Miss Lucy Burns, OF
Brooklyn; Miss Vivian Pierce, OF san
Diego, Cal; Miss Maude Jameson, OF
Norfolk. and Miss Cornelia Alexander
Beach. OF Louisville, all carrying pur-
ole. white and gold streamers, the pick
cts marched to the White House gates
shortly after 4 o'clock.
They held their position for about
6fteen minutes before the police ar.
rived and arrested them on charges OF
obstructing traffic. They were later
released on bail Of s25, furnished by
Miss Anne Martin, of Nevada.
The leaders OF the Women's Party
believe that the granting Of the appeal
nuts the matter on a different legal
basis. and that picketing may be main
tanned while the hearing is being
awaited. Under the law decision
must be rendered by January.

Red Cross Mission
Is Sent to Serbia
Nation, Exhausted by War, in
Dire Need Of Food and
Doctors

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The War
Council of the American Red Cross to-
day announced the sending OF COM
mission TO Serbia to begin immediate
relief work. Two hundred thousand
dollars has been appropriated by the
council to buy medical and other sup
plies for use among refugees on the
Macedonian front.
Cordenio Arnold Severance, lawyer,
of St. Paul, heads the mission as COM
missioner. Deputy commissioners are
DR.. Severance BurrGge, sanitarian, for
merry Of the Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology; DR.. Frederick I. Lloyd,
physician, OF Boston; DR.. Eugene A.
Crockett, surgeon, Of Boston,; +. Francis
jaeger, University of Minnesota, of
Minneapolis, and Edwin ID. Haskell,
secretary, of Minneapolis.
The other members of the commits
sion, W. A. W. Stewart, of New York,
and l.. d. Wishard, of Pasadena, Cal,
left some time ago for Salonica.
The commission goes TO study prob
form dable in Europe. What have been
y
mated. From an army of nearly 500,-
coo at the beginning OF the war, over
10000 men ale estimated TO have been
taken prisoners by the Central Powers
and are suffering from malnutrition in
prison camps. Many thousands were
lost in the retreat through Albania OF
the army of 100000 now on the Salon
lea front, about 60, 900 are actual fight
ing men.
The pressing needs Of Serbia have
been laid before the Red Cross War
Council by DR.. Edward Ryan, Red
Cross representative at Salonica, and
by Miss Emily Simmonds, graduate Of
Roosevelt Hospital, New York, who en-
listed in the Serbian Red Cross in 1914.
Miss Simmonds urges the dispatch Of
food, clothing, bandsges. blankets,
seeds, agricultural tools, as well as Of
doctors and nurses. In her informal
report to the Red Cross she said:
"There were only 400 doctors In all
Serbia at the beginning of the war, and
the death rate has been high. Sixty
died of typhus alone In January and
February, 1915. There are 1l6 doctors
now in the army, but only one dentist.
Women doctors are especially needed
for maternity work In the villages. One
doctor in small car could furnish
medical supervision for several vii
lagos. A system Of soup kitchens In
the villages Is an absolute necessity, II
famine is not to make good its threats
this winter"

Marse Henry Gay
On 50th Annual
Vacation at Coney
Kentucky Editor Censures
u. S. for Sending Colored
Troops Into the South

Colonel Henry Watterson, editor,
orator and statesman-as well known
in Okmulgee, New York or Seattle as
he is in his own home in Louisville,
Kyr-is paying his annual visit 10
Brighton Beach. 1t is his boast that
he is one of the discoveries of Coney
Island and that he has been going
there for fifty years.
The colonel took a little time off
from mentioning yesterday afternoon
to talk to newspaper men, and, as Is
always the case when he talks, he said
something worth listening TO.
War? What do / think about the
war" said Colonel Watterson in re-
Spouse to the first question asked him.
Il think IT'S more a massacre without
chivalry than anything else. In the
Civil War there was opportunity for
individuality; in this men are moved
down in battalions.
Lauds Women's Activities
"It's small wonder that we in the
United States have failed until now to
realize the magnitude Of the titanic
struggle, which went on abroad for
over two years before we entered into
il. Our great war cost in all $780,
100000. The war on the Continent cost
SS,000,000,0 900 in its first few months.
ha 1Iykr ~ al nntr'
said the colonel, "is not altogether
different from that at stake in the
Civil War. Then there was a group Of
people which believed in the divine
right Of slavery; to-day there is a
group which believes in the divine right
Of kings. Neither of these two groups
realized that public sentiment was
against them"
The activity of women in the eco
nomic world is to be applauded in tho
opinion of Colonel Watterson. Any
thing they can do to emancipate them
selves from the necessity of marriage
as means of livelihood, he believes,
WILDE for the good of the nation.
"Not that / think it's necessary for
women to go to work in the munition
plants" said the colonel. That may
be a necessity abroad where so much
of the man strength is at the front,
but here we can hold up our end in the
trenches and at the same time do our
industrial bit"
"Colored Troops Should BE Here
The one thing on which Colonel
Watterson was most emphatic was the
question of sending colored troops into
the South, either 10 train or for any
other purpose.
81 don't believe the government
should ever do one thing deliberately
said the colonel, (which is known TO
be liable 10 provoke trouble IN the
land. If the presence of colored troops
in the South creates trouble-and 1t
has invariably done so-then they
should not be ordered there. The col
ored men can-and. I'm sure, will
make good soldiers, but quartering
them in district bitterly opposed to
them not only breeds rioting, but 1t
destroys their value as soldiers"

A. the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association of the Motion Pict-
ure Industry yesterday William A.

In addition to this, steps were taken
TO carry out the desire Of President
Wilson that the motion picture men
take an active part in such war meas
ures as come within their scope. A
suggestion was adopted to supply reg
ularly to the American troops in Eu-
rope all the latest pictures free OF
cost and 20 establish for this purpose
a distributing agency in Paris. Mr..
Brady has suggested 70 the authorities
that the camera men and operators
who have been drafted for military
service be assigned to the task Of pro-
iecting these pictures.

Two hundred sufFragists In military
formation swung up the gangplsnk Of
the good ship Trojan at Pier 50 last
night and at 7 o'clock set sail for
Albany en- route TO Saratoga, and what
they confidently predict will be the last
suffrage convention in New York State.
Impromptu committee meetings were
to be held until bedtime wherever and
whenever the chairmen were inspired
to call them; informal suffrage
speeches were to be delivered for the
benefit of those who did not know the
votes-for-women creed thoroughly
enough, and between times the suffra-
gists planned to dance along with the
rest of the crowd in the yellow be-
decked salon.
After a suffrage breakfast on board
the steamer this morning the New
York City contingent is TO entrain for
Saratoga. The conference will be
called to order at II o'clock to-day by
Mrs. Norman de r. Whitehouse, chair
man Of the New York State Woman
Suffrage party, and will be welcomed
by Mayor Walter P. Butler, Of Sara
toga. Governor Whitman and Mayor
Mitchell are on the programme for to-
night.
The New York suffragists will omit
the usual convention business of elect
ing officers at this gathering, as they
are sure that after November an
organization OF women working for the
vote in New York State will be auto
matically dissolved. The convention
will take up definite plans for the final
weeks of the campaign and consieer
their future activities after election.
Tomorrow night the women Will be
addressed by Frank A. Vanderlip,
president of the National City Bank,
and President Jacob Gould Schurman
of Cornell University.

On the Screen
Mother o Mine" Has Strong
Appeal at New York
Theatre

Mother love Is one OF the themes
which always is bound to wiring tears
and smiles from the spectators, and
Mother o. Nine a Bluebird photo
play which was shown yesterday atsthe
New York Theatre, is no exception to
the rule.
Rupert Julian and Ruth Clifford are
the featured players, but in reality the
white-haired person who played the
title role deserved the lions share OF
the honors. She was quite delightful
as Mother o. Nine" q sort Of COM
posite mother whom every one In the
theatre recognized as the mother Of his
childhood.
the rural scenes are restful and
pleasing and Rupert Julian, as the son,
is much nicer before ne begins to get
ideas in his head and goes to the city,
Ruth Clifford played "the girl" with
just the proper mixture of hauteur and
sweetness; she dressed the part per-
fectly, which is in itself thing 10 be
quite thankful for. Safe and sane
sartorial effects are not as common as
one would wish.
Miss Clifford's hats, furs and boots
were exactly the sort one would have
expected a young person to- wear who
had been as carefully reared as the girl
was purported to have been. She made
the pampered heiress an extremely
likablo sort of q person.
The same cannot be said OF Mr..
Julian's hero. We, for one, were not at
all surprised when he denied his
mother, for we suspected him OF being
a snob from the moment he wrote to
his mother, saying: MY fnancee comes
from a fine old family and one would
think them very proud II they did not
know them as ! do"
The picture is charming, in spite Of
the fact that some of the people in it
committed slight social errors, which
appear to be traceable TO the hand that
directed the picture. Such small de-
tails as having q man seat himself
while a woman is standing or a girls
neglect TO present her tiance to her
mother until the end Of the last reel
never yet spoiled good picture for
any one.
