SUFFS WILL PICKET
THE WHITE HOUSE.
To Make II impossible for President
to Leave Mansion Without En-.
countering miIitants.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. d. c.. Jan. lO.-wo-
man suffragists. after another futile
appeal to President Wilson Tuesday
for his support OF the Susan u. An.
thony amendment. announced plans
for retaliation by picketing the White
House grounds with silent senti.
nels." Their purpose is to make Il
impossible for the President to enter
or TO leave the White House without
cncountering a sentinel bearing some
device pleading the suffrage cause.
The move was acknowledged to be
a step in the new policy OF mild mill.
fancy which began with the coup In
the house gallery on December 9Th.
when a party OF suffragists unfurled
a Votes for Women, banner while
the President was mixing his opening
address.
What the wbte House authorities
will do aboutthe pickets the suffra
si'ts intteTto leave for develop
ments. After the women had their
audience Tuesday they returned to
the headquarters OF the Congressional
Union. formed their new -plans and
held meeting. pledeing $1,000 for the
silent sentinel" campaign.
Headed by Miss Maud Younger and
Mrs, Sara Bard Field, 300 suftragIsts
IRON the Congressional Union went TO
see the President ostensibly to pre-.
sent memorials on the death OF Mrs.
lncz Milholland Boissevain. Because
OF the affair in the house gallery In
December there was some difficulty
In arranging the audience. but the
President consented to receive the
women. When thcy made II the occa.
sion to renew their pleas that he sup.
port the suffrage amendment. the
President expressed his surprise, re.
minded the spokesman OF the party
that he had not been spprised Of their
full purpose and was not prepared to
say any more than he had on previous
occasions.
He repeated that he believed per.
sonally In their cause. but as the
leader OF his party could not commi,
u TO action Il had not endorsed. The
President added he could not under.
stand why women failed to realize
that the Democratic party had done
more for suffrage than the Republi.
cans.

PEARL HARB0R is
BEST EVER GIVEN

Many friends OF the u. S. marines
were entertained at a ball at Pearl
Harbor Saturday evening. This is
the first dance the, marines have
given for some time. Many of the
guests have attended marine dances
in the past and say this was the best
ever given. Every little detail for the
comfort and pleasure Of their friends
was carefully planned. A special
train left town at 1880 p. m, taking
the guests right to the door Of the
barracks at the new Pearl Harbor
navy yard. They first entered long,
lighted hall on the ground floor, where
marines ushered them TO the cloak
rooms.f
The large dining hall. on the ground
floor was used as the dance hlll.
This was tastefully decorated vita
flags, pennants and palms The music
was furnished by Kaafs orchestra and
was indispensable. During the lance
refreshments were served in the hall
and in the intermission O. M. Sgt. Car
roll and his committee we're kept busy
serving sandwiches, cake, ice cream
and coffee. f5< la, 49,,
A floor committee, Sgt, Rea as
chairman, constantly moved AROUND
among the guests, seeing that their
programs were filled and that they
were made acquainted First Lieut..
L. A. Clapp and Sgt. futile, who we're
the managers, handled the affair very
ably. 5..-.
On every hand were marines to at.
tend to the wants Of, their guests. At
the o. R. & L. depot q guard was
waiting to. direct the, invited ones to
the special waiting there. The invita-
ton committee. which consisted OF
Pvts. Gould and ]. r. Wilson, sent out

the war department as candidates for
West Point The two men will take
the entrance examinations required
by the school for admission.
The application Of the two for ad'

from enlisted men in Hawaii to the
offer of the waT department to enter
the big military school. This depart
ment was allowed a total Of II this
year and had more thar IL applied for
admission a competitive examination
would have been held on January l.
Army officers do not consider that
the slight response means disregard
on the part of enlisted men, but ex-
plain it rather by the fact that most
men prefer to try for the examination
for appointment to second ieutents,
as provided by the rdefense act OF last
summer.
The age lipit for, admission to West
Point from the army isFbetween II and
