And
anti ENGAGE IN
HOUSE SKIRMISH

Washington, Jan. Woman suf-
fragists and anti-suffragists were out
in force yesterday before the House
suffrage committee fer the last big
skirmish that will precede the fight
in the House on Jan. 10, when the
woman suffrage constitutional amend
ment comes up for a vote.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage association, leading
the argument in favor of the amend
ment, declared the fight had simmer
ed down to a question of whether the
extension of suffrage to large num-
Der of inexperienced woman voters
naturally sympathetic with human
suffering, would tend to weaken pros
ecution of the war. She contended
most emphatically that it would not
and that on the basis of sympathy
with human suffering alone woman
were opposed to an ill-advised peace.
The anti-suffrag ists set forth their
principal argument in a prepared
statement by Mrs. James W. Wads.
worth, Jr., president of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage.
The argument for the ants de.
clared that suffragists and Socialists,
seeking to destroy the right of each
state to settle the question by popular
vote, had resorted to "the lowest DO
litical methods" It charged them
with circulating a canard that Presi-
dent Wilson had promised Alice Paul,
leader of the White House pickets,
that he would secretly aid the amend
ment-. Such a statement, the argu-
ment declared was ian insult to the
Presidents character" and added that
the President had been the foremost
friend of woman suffrage because OF
his well known preference to have
themselves.
Mrs. Travis Whitney Of Brooklyn
analysed the New York vote to
answer Mrs. Wadsworth's contention
that suffrage was won in New York
by the votes of pacifsts and Social
lists.
Mrs. Henry Ware Allen of Wichita,
Kan. told the members that they
had done by federal action many
things never attempted before, and
continued:
$50 why should you hesitate to take
federal action on the next issue OF
right and justice that is coming up
for your consideration? Surely this
is a, place where consistency would be
a jewel"

The new department would operate

TO SANCTIONED
BENEFITS ONLY
State Council of Defense Is
sues Warning to Citizens
of State to Be Careful.

Citizens of Connecticut are warned
by the Connecticut State Council of
Defense that they should discontinue
at once the practice of giving contri-
buttons to all sorts of war funds which
are not recognized nationally or ap-
proved by the Defense Council in this
state. Certain funds which are ma
tional in their scope will have the ap-
proval of the authorities at Washing
ton, and other funds which are mere
ly statewide movements will be ap-
proved by the state council of defense.
Chairmen of the councils committees
in the various towns and cities and the
war bureaus which have been organ
lied will have knowledge at all times
of the funds which have official sane
ton.
This warning against contributions
for unauthorized purposes has been
given by the state council because of a
resolution which has been adopted by
the Council of National Defense at
Washington in order to check contri-
buttons for purposes that are not
worthy. Regulation and Capitalization
Of appeals of this kind is advocated
by the federal government, and a plan
looking to that end is being put into
effect in Connecticut.
The resolutions adopted by the
Council of National Defense, and en-
dorsed by the Connecticut State Coun-
Gil of Defense follows:
Whereas, the Council of National
being made throughout the country
in behalf of innumerabIe war relief
agencies; and
Whereas, the benevolent energies
of the country are being dissipated by
such solicitations, and the fIotation
of government loans, as well as sub
scriptions for worthy and legitimate
purposes, may thereby be seriously
affected; and
where as, the Council of National
Defense believes that the regulation
and Capitalization of such appeals
would encourage the patriotic and
philanthropic spirit of the country to
generous response by the assurance
of a proper responsibility of those So
Letting subscriptions, thus minimiz-
ing opportunities to exploit the ben
evolent impulses of the country; there
fore be it
Resolved, That the Council of Ma
tional Defense requests each of the
state councils of defense so to organ
ize that it may assure itself of the
worthiness of the objects in support
of which appeals for assistance are
made and of the integrity and finan-
cial responsibility of those making
such appeals; and be it further
| Resolved, That the Council of Ma
tional Defense requests that all cam
paigns for private aid be conducted
in entire cooperation with the state
councils of defense; and be it further
Resolved, That the Council of Ma
ton Defense urges the people of the
country to contribute assistance, fl
nancial and otherwise only to those
/ persons and objects that are accredit
ed and approved by the Council of De,
tense in each state; and be it further
Resolved, That the Council of Ma
tional Defense suggests that the state
councils of defense approve appeals
for financial aid only where it shall
be understood that an accounting O.
the moneys received and spent shall
be made public"

vestigaton is reported upon excellent authority
that this organization requires its members give pledge
they will not join the army the navy of the United States
this organization is composed mainly of of alien enemy
stock and if appears they have taken such pledge it
ceedngy probable that the safest place for the membership will
be in internment camp.
An organization which in these times repudaes the army

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1.-THE Proudd Of
Petrograd. according to q telegram re-
ceived here. contains an account Of the
battle on the Archangel front between
Soviet troops and a detachment of Brit
ish, French and American\ forces which
came from the Thurman coAst. in which
tho Bolsheviki were defeated and fed In
disorder.
Tho Bolshevist newspaper attributes
the Generalization Of the Soviet troops
to q rumor spread among them that
Lenine and Trotzlty had been killed, that
Zinoviefr had fed and that the Soviet
Government had been overthrow; also
to the circumstance that most Of their
officers had left them and gone over, to
the enemy.
A telegram from Moscow states that
according to Official military reports the
Soviet troops are retreating on the
southern as well as on the northern
front. giving way before increasing pres
sure by the forces brought to bear
against them.
According to the newspaper the re-
tirement Of the Minister Of Justice was
caused by a disagreement with the pres
ident OF the revolutionary tribunal
Krylenko. regarding acts of terror or
dered by him. Apparently the recen,
dininution in the number OF summary
executions and In wholesale acts Of ter
rorism was due to strong representations
by the German military authorities.

TAX
LIMIT, SAYS M'ADOO


crat, tried to incorporate in the bill the
repeal Of the tax Of four cents a barrel
on mixed -four. Mr.. Rainey said 1t had
the backing Of the Food Administration
and read letter from Mr.. Hoover to
prove II.
Representative Moore (Pa.) objected
and raised the point OF order that the
amendment was offered too late, the
House having passed long since the point
in the bill where the amendment would
have been In order.
After the point OF order against the
-four tax amendment was sustained Mr..
Moore offered an amendment to tax cot
ton in tapestries and textiles.
THE reason i propose a tax on cot
ton" Mr.. Moore replied. 'is because 1t is
produced In a section where few taxes
are paid"
When the proposed tax came to a vote
1t was beaten,'2S to 100. Immediately
Mr.. Moore offered an amendment to tax
all cotton So a bale. A point Of order
was raised. In the debate the greatest
acrimony developed.
