Within the past forty-eight hours

likely TO lead to drastic measures
aimed to wholly remove any cause
for criticism or complaint which may
be found TO exist i'm the department.
Realizes Gravity OF Situation.
DR.. GarfieId's eyes have been opened
to the seriousness and gravity Of the
situation since he first discussed with
newspaper men last week the alleged
connection Of coal and oil representa-
tives with the Fuel Administration.
He has learned among other things:

of letter written by ]. D. A. Nor

WILSON HALTS
PEACE FEELER
President Expected to An:
swer Won Hertling at New
York Friday Night.

Germany's latest peace feeler VIII
be squelched by President Wilson
when he opens the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign in New York tomor-
row night
The text OF the speech made by
Count Won Hertling. the imperial
German chancellor. before the main
committee of the Reichstag. was
received yesterday afternoon by the
state Department.
While no comment was forthcom-
ing from the State Department. ap-
parently in view of the fact that
the entire subject will be handled
by the President. there was little
attempt TO conceal the disgust felt
at the chancellor's whine for peace.
There is no doubt now, in the
minds of persons at the Capital.
that Germany and Austria are act
ing in concert on peace.
Would stise Fear.
One attempt has been TO stifIe IT
by fear: another has been to draw
the allies into a conference. Per-
haps the foremost feature Of the
peace msneUvers. and one which is
particularly pleasing to officials
here is the apparently inspired
campaign against President Wilson
and the American people in the
German press, which has told about
the war fury raging here" This
point was also touched upon in the
chanceIlor's speech. The enemy
press has likewise been typifying
the United States OF late as the
most bloodthirsty" of opponents.
The German chancellor, in addition
TO the four principles outlined by
President Wilson. comments on the
fourteen clauses which the President
has laid down as a basis of peace.
and declares his willingness to accept
these.
Discussion Now Impsssibte.
These fourteen principles show the
utter impossibility OF a peace discus
sion at the present time. One of them
provides for ''the evacuation of Rus
sian territory and the abandonment
of economic control therein" The
German government has since en-
tered into the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
Another Of the fourteen principles
provides for AN independent Polish
state" whereas Poland is now under
PIUssiau domination and both Ger
mans and Austrians are bartering
owe" the spoils there.
NDu Hcrtling's peace feeler will be
Irlcgatcd 10 oblivion the same as tho
Austrian note. It is believed here. be-
cause the President has already
shown he will have nothing TO do
with mSincere proposals. and the Ger
man chancellor's speech is deemed
insincere throughout.

SUFFRAGE WILL /
WIN VICTORY IN
SENATE TODAY
Poll Indicates Required 81
Votes for Anthony
Amendment.
BOTH SIDES LOBBYING
Mrs. Gait, Addressing Vice
President, Appeals for
True Democracy"

Suffrage leaders, both in and out
OF Congress, are extremely conf
dent that they will win their long
deferred victory in the Senate to-
day when the Anthony amend
ment is called up for final action.
A poll of the Senate yesterday
made by Senators who favor the
amendment, is said to make GER
tain that the required number oi
sixty-four votes will be cast for
the amendment. The final roll
call probably will be taken late in
the day.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico,
chairman of the Committee on
Suffrage, who will have charge OF
the measure, reirained from max
ing any positive prediction as to
the result He believes, however,
that the victory will be won.
Enough without Absentees.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re
publican whip, who is cooperating
with Senator Jones in the manage
ment Of the fight, also believes that
the roll call will show the required
>.two-thirds majority in favor of the
amendment. He has accounted for
the absentees, including Senator
pson Of California, who will be
lie to be present, and finds that
with the loss of these votes
There will be enough to put the
amendment through.
In preparation for today's battle.

Once Building until the last Sena-
tor had left for the day, seeking

or against the amendment.
Women visit Marshall
A delegation Of suffrage women,
headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait. called first upon Vice Presi-
dent Marshall and left with him a
statement showing the extent to
which the amendment has been IA
vored by party organizations and
State legislatures. Later they call
ed upon individual Senators in their
Offices and presented the same argu-
ments. Mrs. Cats escort included
women from every State in the
Union.
IN her address to Vice President
Marshall Mrs. Gait said:
The entire world has now turn
ed its eyes to the United States. as
the accepted and acknowledged
leader of democracy. yet many other
countries have exceeded our own in
promptness in enfranchising their
women and making democracy n
realized fact Our opponents find
satisfaction in quoting the many de-
fsats for woman suffrage. It IS
true that in legislatures. in political
conventions. our cause has met
many defeats. but our cause has
never met loss. for one cannot lose
what one has never had. The only
thing that counts Is our gains and
the significant thing is that no
political convention this year has
refused to endorse suffrage or the
Federal amendment"

gium. to dine with King Leopold.
Efforts of Mr.. and Mrs. Storer to ad-
vance Ireland's interests also pro-
voked criticism.
A letter from the Pope on Ameri-
canism was made the ground for a
sharp difference of opinion between
Ireland and Archbishop Corrigan re-
specting its Interpretation. A Cath
Ollie Newspaper. printed in England
about the same time published a let
ter from it's Rome correspondent
which called Archbishop ireland an
apostate and asserted his views
would bring him in league with
Hebrews and Freemasons." Ire
lands reply was that the attack had

ireland strongly championed re-
ligious freedom in America. He was
democratic to a degree. Visiting
royalty and dignitaries in England
France, Ireland, Belgium and Italy
in 1908. he represented himself as
simply an American prelate."
Americnnism Wins Friends.
His strong outspoken Americanism
won to him the friendship of many
who differed from some of his ex.
pressed radical views. He staunchly
advocated military training and pre-
paredness before America entered fhe
war.
He made frequent attacks upon tho
fellacies of socialism and did not
hesitate to defend capital when occa.
sion arose. He said at dinner in
st. Paul:
THE church is no enemy of wealth.
Wealth well used is a gift of the
Almighty"
The establishment. enlargement and
the Strengthening of the scope OF
parochial schools occupied much of
his attention. He defended his
course in this in the following words.
THE evil in America is the decny of
religion, and, in logical sequence, the
decay of morals. In both cases the
cause of the decay is the enforced
secularism of state sects. The issue Of
Americanism and Catholicism is witt,
US always and is needless. Its solu-
tion is good citizenship. which is the
hope of Americas safety"
Archbishop Ireland displayed ardent
patriotism during the present war.
In this he consistently followed the
stand he had taken in opposing the
tIlDdull pan. Inc plan resulted
in a petition to the Vatican to estab-
lish German parishes in the United
States, with parochial schools to
which should be issued orders that
the German language be taught.
Combating this in Rome the Arch
bishop maintained that Catholics in
America are Americans. Dur coun-
try is not Poland to be partitioned at
the good pleasure of forei2 ners."
! Archbishop Ireland made stauch
friends among the clergy of Washing
ton. and always kept in close touch
with those priests in whom he was
particularly interested. Among the
pastors of this city the archbishop all
ways maintained an especially warm
friendship for the late Rev. DR.. d. J..
Stafford, of st. Patriek's Church, and
the Rev. Eugene A. Hannah, now rec
tor of St Martins Church. On the
occasion of his many visits to the
Capital the distinguished prelate in
variabiy visited Father Stafford and
Father Hannah to encourage their
local activities, and it is said that he
wept when the news of Father STAFF
ford's death reached him.

is 2o,oo2.
The total for the civilian popu-

General Rupert Blue, of the United

planned that the disease was not
reportable by low, but that twenty
six States thus far arc included in
the epidemic.
Yesterday for the vrst time cases
were reported from the Pacific

WELL" is the Surgeon Generals advice
to those who fall victim to the dis
case.
Prevention he outlined as likely only
by avoiding crowds and crowded
places where contact with o theirs
spreads the disease. by sneezIng and
coughing; by keeping oneself clean in
clothing and person. especially of the
nose and mouth. The germ is car
ried to others from the nose and
mouth and the only probable means
by which the germs enter the system
is by the nose or mouth.
The newest means of combating
the spread of the disease is announced
by the Washington chapter of the Red
Cross in the form of q germ mask.
The device is a modified form OF the
gas mask. It is made of four LAYERS
of thin clean gauze, arranged so as
to cover the mouth and nose of the
wearer and designed to act as
filter against germs.
It is stated that the Potomac divi-
sion of the Red Cross has ordered
$500 of the masks for use of the
soldiers in training In the vicinity
of Washington and fer patients at
the Walter Reed Hospital in this city.
Already 100 of them have been sent
to the hospital. They are now being
made by prominent women of wosh-
ington at the local surgical dressing
station of the Red Cross.
If the contrivance proves an ef-
fective preventative measure. it is
believed 1t will be adopted at the
