30-DAY VACATION

Negotiations Still Under Way,
With Vets and Drys
at Odds.
RECESS HAS OPPOSITION

Negotiations for an agreement where
by the Senate, or both Senate and
House. can quit work for thirty days
or more were continuing today.
The ''drys" insisted that there would
be no agreement for recess of any
kind unless there should be entered
into at the same time an agreement to
vote on the wartime prohibition meas
ure. ~--se4s'z

that the "wets" would finally yield
to such a plan, though the matter
has not yet been settled, some of the
vets saying that If an agreement is
entered into whereby a vote may be

Cannot Agree on Day to Vote.
The vets have been willing to
agree that the war time prohibition
measure should be taken up, on, say,
August 26, and made the exclusive
business of the Senate until dis
posed Of" But Senator Sheppard Of
Texas. Senator Borah of Idaho and
others said today that this was not
satisfactory to the prohibitionists.
The measure might be disposed of"
in some other way than by voting on
it. No such agreement would be en-
tered into, they said.
Whether there is to be an actual ad-
journment of Congress for thirty days
or more depends, it was said. upon the
attitude of the House. If the House
should adopt a resolution providing
for a thirty-day adjournment, the
Senate might assent to it. Otherwise,
if the senators agree among them
selves on the wartime prohibition
measure, a gentleman's agreement
will be entered into whereby the SEN
ate will adjourn for three days at a
time, with the understanding that no
important business shall be transacted
until August 20 or 26. or some such
date.
A number Of senator's, including
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon and
Senator Borah Of Idaho, said today
they did not believe that Congress
should quit work at all.
1.-The boys in France are not having
any recess" said Senator Borah, "and
there is no reason why Congress
should not stay in session and dis

received in London Friday from The
Hague quoted a Dutch traveller from
Germany as declaring that a report
that the field marshal was ill and un-
able to participate in the work at
army headquarters had spread all
over Germany. German newspapers
were not permitted to mention the
rumor The traveller added that Gen.
Ludendorff, the first quartermaster
general, had taken over the field
marshaPs duties as chief of the gen.
eral staff.
Keeping step with reports Of the

Hindenburg was reported i'll with
typhoid fever at Strassburg. The field
marshal on June 18 was reported by
the Tribune of Geneva to be suffer-
ing from an acute nervous disease.
The newspaper declared it had learned
from a reliable source that his mental
capacity was much affected, and that
he was confined in a private sani-
tarium. 1t added that the field mar
shal had taken no responsible part in
the offensive on the western front.
Hindenburg's War Record.
At the outbreak of the war Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg was gen.
eral in retirement. He was credited
with evolving and carrying out the
campaign against the Russians in
East Prussia which resulted in the
serious Russian defeat at Tannen-
burg, for which he was promoted to
field marshal.
He continued to command the Ger
man forces on the Russian front un-
til August 80, 1916, when he was ap-
pointed chief of the general stan in
succession to Gen. Won Falkenhayn
When he became chief of the German
general staff Gen. Ludendorff, who
had acted as his chief of staff on the
Russian front, came with him as his
right-hand man. with the title OF chief
quartermaster general.

ports the death of the German leader,

Apology for Abnormal Methods.

Mr.. Wilson frankly apologies for
his use Of abnormal methods and for
the extent which he finds it necessary
to go in urging members of the SEN
ate. and especially members Of his
own party, point blank to vote for
the federal amendment. But, as he
argues, these are abnormal times
calling for abnormal measures. What
the American Congress does reacts
upon the thought of the whole nation,
and the President wants an enthusiast
tic people concentrated on the great
enterprise of winning the war. IN
stead of waiting until after the war
to make reforms, as the German gov
ernment SO frequently answers the
liberals. it is the Presidents policy to
effect those reforms now which come
nearest to the heart of our people
and which are directly related to the
cultivation Of win-the-war spirit,
He knows it is tangible and real only
when 1t proceeds from a spontaneous
and not an artificial affection for the
principle of democracy to which
thousands of Americans will have in
q short time given their fortunes and
their lives.

PRESIDENT URGING
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Letters to Reluctant Sena-
tors Show His Support Is
Not Perfunctory.
BACKED AS WAR MEASURE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1913. by the New York Evening
Post Company.
Some day the women of America
will look back reverently upon Wood
row Wilson as the man who did more
to advance the cause of woman suf-
frage than any one in high office in
this country. For white opponents Of
suffrage have attempted by their
propaganda to present the-impression
that the President has only a perfume
tory interest in the passage Of the
federal amendment the truth is that
he has already in ways not made pub
lie gone farther in using his influence
with Congress to get the amendment
through the Senate than he has<with
any other piece of legislation. There
have been many conferences and many
letters. The amendment Is shortly to
be voted upon.
definitely of the contents of some of
the letters which members of the Sem
ate. reluctant themselves to vote for
the measure. have received from the
President. And II any one character
ICES the persuasive words Mr.. Wilson
ply isn't familiar with the presiden-
tial vocabulary.
Regarded as War Essential.
First of all. the President has made it
clear to democratic members of the Sem
ate. and particularly to southern SEN
ators. that he sincerely believes the pas
sage of the federal amendment is essen
tial to the conduct of the war. He lays
stress upon the psychological atmos-
phere in which effective war must be
conducted and emphasizes the part that
united nation can play and particu-
larly one in which the principle of de-
mocracy extends not merely to a part
but the whole Of the electorate. Mr..
Wilson sees definite and practical ad-
vantage In the adoption Of the federal
amendment. He believes 1t will have an
immediate influence on the morale of
our own people as well as the peoples
abroad.
The President is convinced that in
a great fight for world democracy, at
a time when the women of Great Brit
ain and other entente countries are be-
ing enfranchised, 1t would, in a sense,
contradict our profession of demo-
cratic principles If we withheld the
vote from the women Of the nation.
The women are bearing the brunt Of
the war. 1t is their sons or brothers
or fathers who are away from home,
and 1t Is upon the women that the real
naroShlpS ana Sacr1nceS are imposed,
Their morale and spirits must be kept
uplifted. They must be inspired with
the knowledge that out of the war will
come condition Of affairs which will
be better for women as well as men.
and that America in crying out that
place in which to live shall not with
hold what is due to half our popula-
tion as a measure Of gratitude, il not
of absolute justice.
