Carry On.
progress.

When you read of the rioting Austrians and
hungry Hungarians and any other news from the
inside of the iron ring which seems to indicate to
you that the war lords alliance is about to break
up, take it with a grain of salt
Doubtless there are disturbances in Austria
Hungary and in Germany, too, and they may grow.
But don't let the effect upon you be what the
Kaiser hopes for. Remember that he is praying
for slowing up of Americas preparations
and that may be why he is not censoring riot re-
ports. Indeed, a large part of the disturbance
may be cunnngly devised German plot to luh
Americans into inaction.
So then, when you read of hungry Hungary be
not tempted to eat one more slice Of bread or an
extra piece of beefsteak.
Let not any riot in Vienna keep you from buy
ing thrift stamp.
If it is true that the central powers are getting
"groggy," it is our cue to adopt the pugilists
method of sailing into opponent more fercely
than ever. That's the best time to deliver the
Knockout blow.
Bring on your stories OF riots, Kaiser Bill, and
whether they be true or false, the United States
will carry on, faster and farther, and increasingly
until freedom has been won for all people and so
safely won that it will last forever.

GRESSIONAL LEADERS

Washington, Sept 2s-With certain
defeat or withdrawal admitted to be
the only present alternatives, the house
resolution proposing the submission to
the states suffrage amendment furn-
ished another sharp but brief fight in
the Senate today, and went over until
Monday. The loss of the vote of Sena-
tor Bennett, Of South Carolina, which
was counted to be for the resolution,
caused advocates to admit possible de-
feat. The resolution may be brought
to vote for the purpose OF providing
a record for the November election
Washington, Sept. 2s.-Because of OBJ
structive tactics in the senate by OPP
ponents of the women suffrage amend
ment, leaders Of both factions agreed
today that no vote would be reached
before Monday.
Senator Benet of South Carolina, in
his maiden speech in the senate today
announced that he would vote against
the resolution. He had been counted
on by suffrage managers to support
the resolution.
I'm view of the fact that the senior
senator from South Carolina is against
the resolution and all of the South
Carolina members of the house voted
against it, and because suffrage is not
an issue in my state. feel that it is
my duty to vote against this resolu-
tion." said Senator Bcnet.
Were the resolution a war measure
or the success Of the war in any way
dependent on the success of the resolu-
tion, Senator said. he would unhesti-
tatingly vote for it. but he declared he
could not see how the fortunes Of the
war are in any way bound up in it.
FavorS 1t Later
Citizens of South Carolina, he de-
clared. believe they have the right to
say who should be allowed to vote
Senator Benet said he believed in a
states right to determine this question
and to adopt this resolution would be
to give up the fundamental rights of a
state to decide. South Carolina he said
has situation of illiteracy which il
is trying to overcome, and as soon as
those conditions improve, he said, he
believed he would vote for woman suf-
rage. To do so now would be going
against the wishes of the people OF
South Carolina.

Millville, Sept. 2S.-More people than
were ever assembled at one time before

carried out. Over 1000 people witness
ed the ceremony, which was preceded
by the opening of the company's store
and motion picture theatre.
Flags of the Allies along with Old
Glory were raised over the yard and
the Ft. Barrancas band from Pensacola
lead a parade of the 1000 employees of
the company, while ship workers were
led by their own band. Speeches were
made by Governor Cats, Mr. Watson,
Of Pensacola, and President Wilson of
the ship building plant.
Governor Cats in mis- speech re-
minded that their big day was also the
opening day of the Liberty Loan drive
and since shipbuilders were being paid
more money than ever before, they
ought to buy Liberty Bonds and insure
their safety.
President Wilson of the company ex-
planned how the Kaiser's money was
being used to defeat him by the erec-
ton of great ships. Mr.. Wilson's speech
was well received and Bay County
pledged it's quota of Liberty Bonds.
The heavy rain which had been fall
ing just long enough to permit the
ceremonies to be successfully carried
out, and they were held in bright sun
shine, which was considered to be a
good omen by the ship workers.
Three more keels will be laid imme-
diately in the yard and beginning Janu-
ary 4, the yard will launch a vessel a
