 Officer Sims stood the operation well. It was thought prior to the operation that the bullet had pene- trated his spinal cord. He has been paralyzed from the waist down since the shooting.
 Arthur M. Gilmore, railroad switchman, who admitted to officers that he did the shooting, is still be- ing held in the city jail, together with Lively Vandiver and J. H.

For submission, g states voted solidly. They were Arizona Ar kansas, California, Colorado Idaho, Hi nois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Mime sota, Montana, Nebrassa, Nevada, New Hampshire. New Mexrco, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island South Dakota, Utah. Washington and Wyo- ming.
 Advocates of submission won by a sin gle vote. There is little question but that the Presidents attitude saved the day The statement of the President caused little surprise The suffragettes were said to be aware that the chief executive had again cnanged his mind, and newspaper correspondents antici- pated the playing of a very clever hand.
 Many loyal friends of the President de- clared following his switch that for the first time they had had cause to differ with his views. In 1914 the Presi- dent, in a formal letter, stated that he was "still convinced that suffrage should be extended by the individual states During the democratic convention at St Louis, the President, himself, wrote the clause or the party platform which de- clared for suffrage by action of the states. He knew that the subcommittee on platform rejected the clause even though he had written it, and he knew that the committee as a whole adopted it only by one vote. He knew, too, that the convention accepted the clause sim ply because of pleas of several senators that it's adoption would revert to their individual interests in forthcoming state elections.
 Just what caused him to change his mind Is not stated. It is probably at tributed to the fact that the nation is at war. Nevertheless, another executive appeal must be forthcoming before the Senate breaks down the government of states. and by it's action admits a conviction that the picketing of the White House and the embarrassment of the nation, was timely and justifiable

At LOew's Biiou

Patrons of Loew's Bijou theatre are in vited to attend the unusual performance Of that theatre today, and assured by the management, though no fuel heat is to be used, that the house will be com Iortaole, and that most excellent bill or photoplays and vaudeville will be presented for their approval
 The matinee yesterday afternoon was played to packed house. many people standing in the rear throughout the en- tire performance The offerings were of a varied nature, unusual features pre- dominating the bill. which was evenly balanced with comedy, songs, and artistic onerings The motion picture in which Tom Mix stars. "Cupid's Round Up" was pronounced one of the best pictures ever shown in Birmingham. Mix is won- derful actor, and his pep and punch are prevalent features of this big film, his characteristic animation and happy, gen. ial disposition fairly radiating from the screen, as he is at his best in comical situations.
 Hans Hanke if you like music. that is real piano playing, the kind that one would expect from finished artist. is headliner of rare ability His offerings received general appreciation, though numbers of this nature are often ap- plauded by the music lovers only.
 The Douglas family evidently have had several little family rows. and some several rehearsals over their act so com pletely was every number rendered, every step danced, and every line spoken The family, for it is father. mother. two sons and two daughters, sing. dance, re- cite and wear costumes of the Scotch and Irish that catch the auditors easily They were heartily applauded
 The necessary comedy to good bill was supplied. Armstrong and James, two little "coons'' chock full of blackface chatter that they were able to dispense to the patrons in a manner that kept the audience in litter from beginning to end of their act; Hinkle and May afford- ed their hearers a great deal of amuse- ment in monologue efforts, while Kinkel. with bass voice that would make the average foghorn sound like a Christ mas horn gave vocal selection that brought forth vociferous applause. Tn depth and tone he has wonderful bass voice.
 What might be termed a freak act was that offered by the Aitkens three of them. As ascrobatic contortionists they would make snake envious. for they saurmed and twisted about over table, piano, chairs, floor or whatever happened to be in the way. as to elicit the wonder and amaze ment of every person present. They ap- parently were boneless.

Senate Must Change If
 Suffrage BiH Passes
Thirty -four Votes Are Now Firm in Opposon-Five States of the South Voted Solidly Against the Amendment
 Resolution in the House
Ky HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January a.-(Special) The suffragettes will have to engage In still more rabid picketing and the President will have to use his influence without cessation before the Senate will follow the lead of the House and sub- init the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the constitution.
 At the present time there are 34 votes against submission in the Senate. As long as these S4 stand firm, the female politicians have no chance. They are not insisting that the Senate act prompt ly The are evidently imbued with pas sionate hope that with the passage of time, the hard hearts of the S4 will melt.
 In the meantime many states rights democrats Of the House are hoping that the suffrage amendment will be sub mitted. They know that the submission of suffrage contemporaneously with the submission of prohibition, will inflame the situation and result, in all proba- bility, in the defeat of both.
 The analysis of the vote of the House which resulted in the submission of the amendment insofar as the House is able to submit anything, shows that the cor respondent of The Age Herald. before the House acted, made a more nearly perfect guess than the suffragett fol- lowing the action of the House. It was stated Ill these dispatches that various southern states would unanimously vote against the amendment. When the re- suit was announced, Mrs. Solon Jacobs, in a letter addressed to the editor of The Age-Herald, ventured the assertion that Alabama alone of all states. op- possed the amendment without dissent ing vote.
 The following states voted solidly against the amendment:

A Cheerful Heart.

One OF the duties lying upon every
man these days Is the duty Of max
ing cheerful heart radlate itself IN
n bright and smiling face. The man
who goes round with dolefulness and
pess;mism written upon his features
Is n traitor to his country and an
enemy OF his fellows. OF course o
man cannot have the hopefulness on
his face that his heart does not feel,
but II Is not so impossible to grow
hopefulness as II sometimes seems
The man who Is taking his part In
life, doing herolcally and faithfully
the duties that come to him, and who
because Of that, has wholesome
faith In God and In man, can keep o
cheerful heart even In n day like this
Il is an old and homely truth, but one
that never wears out, that duty well
and faithfully done gives life its
truest zest, the face Its brightest
smile, and the heart Its most abiding
happiness.

far as has been reported, no attack

Secretary Daniels said that undoubt.

was to hinder commerce as much az
possible. Great volumes OF both coast
wise and overseas commerce pass
Cape Hatteras, both to and from
Southern ports, and the Germans prob.
ably believed that with the lightship
gone some vessel might be wrecked
on the shoals.
So far as had been reported, how
ever, no vessels had come to grief
In the meantime, steps have beer
taken to replace the lightship by an
ether which always is held In reserve

In the absence OF any specific In.
formation to the contrary, officials also
assumed that 1t was the submarine
which sank the American tank steam

Attacks on other vessels in that vi.

patrol boats and seaplanes already are
endeavoring to protect shipping and

a long shore line on which TO operate
and deep water for submerging to hide
from patrols, however, the advantage
in this game OF hide and seek lies with
the enemy.

PLAN To SMASH
GERMANS QUICKLY
United Strength Of Allies to Be
Hurled Against Them
MARCH OUTLINES PROGRAM
United States officials Had Been
Urging A Vigorous Aggressive
Campaign At Earliest Pos.
slble Moment.

Washington. - Backed by a reser-
voir OF 100000 American troops,
Field Marshal Foch. supreme COM
mander OF the American and Allied
armies, is preparing to hurl the entire
united military strength OF France,
Great Britain and the United States
against the Germans on the western
front III order to bring the war to a
victorious conclusion in the shortest
possible time. Next spring will see
the terrific conflict, already In prog.
ress on the Aisne-Vesle line, In full
swing with Foch's armies striking
with all their power.
This was the impression gained by
members of the Senate Military Com
mittee who heard General March, chief
OF staff, explain In executive session,
the War Departments reasons for asa-
ing extension of draft age limits to
include all men between Is and 46
years Of age They learned also that
the definite decision TO enlarge the
American military program to an army
of 100000 men was reached about
July 30, and Is in accordance with an
agreement reached In Paris shortly
before that time.
The date when the United States
decided 10 more than double the great
effort II already was making and to
bring its whole manpower to bear
Immediately may be significant. Cen.
Foch's smashing blow which has fiat
tened out the Aisne-Marne salient and
has thrown the whole German front
from Rheims to the sea into jeopardy,
was struck July 10, with American
troops bearing their full share.
It appeared possible that the sue
cess OF that blow had influenced
American officials who continuously
have pressed for a vigorous aggres-
sive campaign at the earliest possible
moment and with attention concen.
trated on the western front, to believe
that enough could be done this year
to prepare the way for a smashing
military triumph next year when the
full American Army becomes avail
able. The period OF time covered by
estimates for equipment and trans
portatlon OF troops under the enlarged
army plan is understood to carry 1t
up to next spring.
AS the project Is understood, al.
though no details are obtainable, It
is contemplated to place an army OF
substantially 100000 American
troops in France before the spring
campaign opens, backed by 100000
more at home, moving forward as
needed.
