WOMEN IN GERMANY
 INSIST ON VOTE
Refuse to Allow War to Interfere
 With Agitation

amsterdam, Jan. 6(By MaiD-The question of woman suffrage is beginn- ing to agitate Germany despite the governments forcible insiStence that this and kindred questions must not be made the subject of agitation until after the war.
 Three formidable national organs are now openly campaigning in Ger many on behalf of woman suffrage the Women's department of the social democratic party the German imperial union for woen's suffrage and the German WOmen's suffrage society. These organizations have just is sued a united manifesto which is re- garded as the opening gun in a de- termined campaign. In this manifesto they say:
 "Germany stands in the lowest rank of nations are regards Women's rights. Tn most civilized lands women have already been given a, large share in public affairs. German women havve been granted nothing except within the most insignificant limits.
 Tn the demand for the democrati- zation of German public life, our leg islators do not seem to even admit the existence of women-the question is
 
 of the citizens of the male sex in ad- ministrative and legislative affairs.
 But during the war the cooperation of the women in public life has un- ostentatiously grown from year to year until today the number of women engaged in various callings in Ger many exceeds the number of men. The work they are doing includes all spheres of male activity; without them it would no longer be possible to support the economic life of the peo- pie. Women have done their full share in the work of the community.
 The women protest against this lack of political rights, in virtue both of their work for the community and of their worth as human beings. They demand palitical equality with men. They demand the direct, equal and secret franchise for all legislative bodies, full equality in the communes and in legal representation of their interests. This first joint pronounce ment on women's demands will be fol- lowed by others until the victory of our cause is wOn.'

HARDING PREDICTS SCHISM
Believes Democrats at Washington
 Split by Stones Speech

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 23.-"The vii olent partisan attack rends that unity which has made possible everything the President has asked: it will not be so from now on,'' declared United States Senator Warren G. Harding, referring to Senator Stones political speech, in a statement given out here at a meeting of the republican state central and advisory committees.
 q can speak only for myself" he continued, 'but I believe republicans hereafter will support all war meas ures necessity, but will question fur ther extraordinary and unprecedented grants of power. There will be crit icism, not partisan, but patriotic. h. efficiency and incapacity will be pOnt- ed out and correction sought. No pubic official will dwell in sanctity hereafter because he is @ part of the administration. Country first! Win the war! Save the republic!
 "Republicans will consecrate them selves to such a public service and criticise, oppose or support as their patriotic convictions impel. This is not a one-man party nor a one-man war This is the supreme trial of American people"
 ReIerrlng to lIle 0pl1C DeCWeeh 00il ator Cham mberlain and the president, Senator Harding said:
 "Senator Chamberlain has been the stalwart spokesman of the administra- ton, with which he had been in po- litical and patriotic sympathy. lie commands highest esteem on both sides of the senate. If I were bearing a heavy load of responsibility 1 should want his cordial support. He IS d patriotic and an able senator.

STOLEN FORTUNE FOUND.
Mail Sacks Containing Sf,OOO,O ,OOO
 Discovered in Post Office.

New York, Jan. 23.-The reported theft of eight mail sacks supposed to hold registered mail containing money and valuables worth $1,0OO,- 900 from a post office truck on ferry boat January 7, for which last Saturday, a former mail driver was arrested and put under $25, ,O0O bail, blew up with a loud bang last night when the missing sacks were found in the main post office building, at Eighth avenue and Thirty-third street.
 Although no details of the dis covery could be obtained it is evil dent that the sacks with their val Uable contents have been lying in the post office for nearly a month while detectives have been endeaVOring to solve the mystery of their disap- pearance, and have ben third de greeing' the unfortunate suspect. All the information that could be gleaned was to the effect that the sacks were found under pile of empty pouches.
 The robbery was reported as being the largest in the history of the post office and was said to resemble in many respects the sensational theft of large quantity of registered mail from wagon on the Ferryboat Wilkes-Barre, February 26, 1916. While the theft was supposed to have occurred January ', it was not until last Saturday that it was reported for publication. This came after Charles J. Richardson, 30 years old, @ chauf- feur of 666 Ninth avenue, had been arrested. Richardson, who has been in jail since his arrest, was to have appeared before United States Com next Friday.

FUEL ECONOMY IS
 CHILLING TO COURT
Judge, Prosecutor and Lawyer Shiv- CT While Conducting Today'S
 Cases-One Bond Called.

Strictest economy has made it's ap- pearance in the police court and this morning Judge James T. Meskill sat on the bench and shivered, while Prosecutor G. w. Klett shivered and Lawyer A. A. Greenberg also chattered as they were conducting their case. Not a bit of steam had been turned into the radiators, with the result that the court room re- sembled one of Armour's refrigera- tors across the street more than it did a hall of justice.
 Peter Dombrowski, who is alleged to have made a disturbance at a To- cal cobbling shop yesterdy, did not appear when his case was called and Judge Meskill ordered his bond of $100, put up by Boleslaw Bajewski, forfeited.
 Mrs. Sophia Majolis was also ar raigned on a breach of the peace charge, it being claimed that she as- saulted one of her tenants, Mrs Mary Chefnosl<i, when the latter per- mitted the water in the kitchen pipes to freeze. She was representa- by Lawyer A. A. Greenberg. She was found guilty and ordered to pay the costs of court.
 Patrick Nolan, charged With tall- ure to support his wife and two children, promised to do better and was placed on probation. So was q small boy, charged with being a tru ant. The boy complained of having a sore throat and his father ex- plained that the youngster has not Eeen coming home nights and inves- tigation showed thah he has been sleeping in the chicken coop with tho result that he took cold.

teacher is to look after the atten- dance Of the pupils, but still she is not to De considered a truant of ficer. Instead she meets the parents of the pupils and explains the law to them and leaves it to their judgment whether it is best to see that their children attend regularly. Tn several instances it was found out that it was necessary for the family to have the oldest of the children at home in order to help in doing the homework when the mother was unable to perform her duties alone. One particular instance he told of the mother was ill with rheumatism to such an extent that she was unable to do anything and for this reason the oldest child, a girl of If years, was kept at home. The case was investigated by the teacher and it was deemed best to allow the child to remain at home whereas if the case had been left to a truant of ficer the real conditions would not have been known and the child would have been punished and conditions made worse for the parents.
 At one time a delegation of boys made an appeal to him to oust the principal of their school because, as they believed, he had treated one of
 
 the case were revealed it was found that it was a case of petty jealousy between two rival crowds, and for this reason they were in favor of busting the principal. He took the ringleader of the boys into his con- fidence and convinced him that he was acting wrong. The visiting teach CT was informed of the case and she made an investigation into the home life of the boy which resulted in learning that the boy had no mother, his father was a drunkard. and his brother was one of the worst crim- inals ever produced. It was not long afterward that the boy was entirely changed and this had such a good effect upon the others that in time they were the best boys any of the schools nearby could boast of.
 The visiting teacher takes the chil- dren to the clinics and finds out how backward they are and has them put in classes for backward pupils where they are given fair chance. She has the right to call on the parents of the children at any time and in this way she finds out the cases that really need the assistance of the town. She also has the matter of
 
 the children in her care and is able to hold back those who are in need of more schooling but who are forced through the conditions of the home to go to work. and she secures the aid of the town in helping out the family so that the child can continue it's schooling The matter of clean liness is looked into strenuously and in this way she uplifts the general l principles of the parents and supplies a wholesome environment for the 1 child to live in. All this work is important and the only way that it ! can be taken care of is through the work of the visiting teacher and Dr. ! Holmes expressed the belief that the time is coming, and very soon, when { each school will have a visiting i teacher to perform the duties ex- l plained by him. A rising vote of thanks was given pr. Holmes for l his address.
