WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-"Why does

tident the suffrage bill will be passed,
while it is telling its own members an
entirely different story?" demands tho

all Suffrage in a statement issued here
to-day.
"The Woman's party announced to-
day that only one lone member from
New York was against the amend
ment,' says the statement
Meanwhile the 'Woman's party is
privately circulating among its own
members letter signed by Mrs @. II
p. Belmont, its chairman, in which it is
stated: We must win fifty votes be-
sides those now counted as certain or
hopeful. ii we are to win friends OF
the Federal amendment must bring all
POSSIBLE pressure to bear upon the
President and the individual members
of Congress now listed as opposed or
-committal.
eve have a copy Of this letter, which
is an announcement of the 'pickets
mass meeting in New York on January

different story for publication.
Owe also know that it is going t.
be defeated. Members have expressed
profound surprise at the strength ano

nouncing any premature poll but VIC

Norway Looks to u. S.
10 Preuent HUNGER There

CHR1ST!ANIA, Jan. with the be-
Flnning of the new year the Norwegian
newspapers are discussing the foreign
POLITICAL situation in general and
especially how an understanding with
the United States regarding food ex
ports to Norway can be reached. A
system Of strict rationing as regards
iiour, bread, sugar and coffee was put
INTO effect to-day with the prospect
that lessened ration might be neces
sary two months hence.
lhe government warned the nation
through the clergy at the New Years
services that suffering and danger were
IN store during the coming year and
called upon the people to show resigna-
tlon and practise frugality, as the food
supply was poor, while the chances of
Norway being drawn into the war were
greater than before.
The "Morgenbladet" considers the
prospects brighter as the new wear
opens, but says Norway must reckon
upon the war being fought out to the
bitter end and that the main question
for it is to reach an agreement with
the United States. The latter's answer

1917 Death Rate
For New York City
Lowest on Record
Infant Mortality Shows Big
Decrease and Births
Increase

New York was a healthier place in
which to live last year than during any
previous year of it's municipal life.
Vital statistics made public by the De-
partment of Health yesterday disclosed
that the death rate for the city was
but 1879 per thousand during 1917. or
tho lowest ever recorded in New York.
The rate in 1916 was 1889. and in 1910,
'he flrst date included in the table,
was 16 per thousand
The departments figures show that
,his dcclln'ng death rate has been
brought about to great extent BY
the city's babies. Since 1910 the num-
Der Of deaths of babies under one year
has steadily declined from 1856 per
thousand to S8.8. The birth rate, mean
whlle, has been advancing just as
steadily.
Another factor in the lowering Of
New York's death rate was the reduc-
ton in deaths from infectious dis
eases, notably typhoid fever. In spite
of the rapid increase in the city's pop.
ulation. fact which ordinarily is ex-
pectcd to be accompanied by numerous
deaths from typhoid, the number of
victims OF this disease steadily de-
creased from total of 558 in 1910 to
2I9 last year.
The prosperity of the city and the
almost complete absence of unempley-
ment IS reflected in the figures on eui-
cides, which disclose that the total
number of persons who died by their
own hands were 76S fewer than in nine
years. The total for 1915 was 836, and
for 1907, the first year included in the
present statistics, was 710, or con-
tsiderably higher rate, considering the
increased population since that date.
The city's marriage license clerks
meanwhile were buster than ever be-
fore in their history. A total of 9,155
marriages were contracted during the
year, which is about 5000 more than
during the preceding year. War brides
are believed to have figured largely in
this increase in weddings, but the
Health Department failed TO produce
exact figures on that subject.

Lack of Supplies Closes
Many London Meat Shops

LONDON, Jan. 2-Many butcher
Shops throughout London were without
their usual supply of meat to-day and
some were forced to close. Almost no
beef arrived at the Smithfield Market.
and the scanty stocks were exhausted
long before the retailers, who stood in
a llne from 5 o'clock in the morning
Until noon, could be supplied
The government relieved the situa-
ton somewhat by releasing from its
stores SO 2'oo0 carcasses Of mutton, but
this was soon taken, and many retailers
were compelled to 60 off emptyhanded.
In tho fish markets conditions were
much the same. The recent stormy
weather has resulted in almost total
disappearance of certain kinds of fish
and prices arc worry high.

BRITISH DISPOSE OF
$50 U-BOAT CAPTAINS
Among Dead Is Commander
Schweiger, Who Sank
Lusitania.

London, Sept. 8.-Although the
British government does not intend
to adopt the practice Of giving proof
Of official u%tterances made by Its
ministers, it has been thought deslra-
Ole to print in tomorrow's newspaper
the names Of the commanding ofh-
GERS of $50 German submarines which
have been disposed of in order to
substantiate the statement of Pre-
nier Lloyd George in the house of
commons that 'at least $50 of these
ocean pests have been destroyed"
The statement to be published to-
fnorrow does not include the names of
officers commanding Austrian sub
marines put out of action.
A majority of the $50 officers men,
toned are dead. Some of them are
prioners of war, and a few are in
termed in neutral countries, where
they took refuge.
Among the officers named are:
Captain Lieutenant Schweiger.
who while in command of the U-20,
torpedoed the Lusitania in May, 49,
Is. The U-20 was lost on the Dan
ish coast in 1916, but Schweiger sur
vived and was in command of the
U-80, which was lost with all hands
in September, 1917.
Kapitan Lieutenant Paul Wagon
