WILL MARK IT'S OPPONENTS
Warming Is Issued by Alice Paul TO
Democratic Senators That Vote
Against Issue Means Republican
Majority i'm Next Senate.

WASHINGTON. September 2o.-Thc
leaders of the suffrage organs are to-
night contending for record vote Of
the Senate on the suffrage amendment
even in the face Of certain defeat.
This is a distinct change of attitude
on the part of the National Woman's
Suffrage Association. which has hith-
erto been content with postponement of
a vote from time TO time, till the pas
sage of the measure could be assured
There only can be one meaning in
the stand OF ~. suffrage leaders for
vote that w..i defeat the measure.
and that is to definitely peg the oppo-
nents of the woman suffrage amend
ment. so that they may go out and at
tempt TO encompass their defeat and
guard in the Senate,
Alice Paul leader OF the National
Woman's party issued a solemn warn
ing TO the Democratic Senators that a
vote against the suffrage amendment
would mean Republican majority in
the next Senate The Woman's Suf-
trage Association has not yet indu!gcd
in such gloomy prediction, but has
never made any secret of the fact that
1t Will use all its influence to replace
antisufraSe Senator's with those who
viii support the constitutional amend
mcnt.
1t is certain that the Republican SEN
ators. regardless of their views or their
votes on the measure will welcome a
record vote. because II will show thirty
two Republicans in favor of the meas
ure and will give them good camp ign
maier IN the coming elections.
Many Democrats who favor the
measure will not oppose a vote because
they are willing q--have each Sena-
tor go on record and claim that the
vote will show that there is no poll
tics in the Senate's attitude on woman
suffrage, as the vote will surely show
II Is also fact that the Democratic
senator's who are candidates for re-
election in States where the women
vote will count. are all in favor of the
measure, and that its failure at this
session of Congress cannot be charged
to them in the campaign.
Leaders of the Woman's Suffrage AS
Sociation said tonight that they hoped
Tor vote tomorrow, and also hoped
that II would be favorable to the
amendment in spite Of the claims of
the antiSuffraSists.

WITH ARMIES IN FLIGHT,
BULGARIA Is DOWN AND OUT
Such Is View Expressed by Captain
Gordon-tiOrdOn smith, OF the
Serbian Mission.

WASHINGTON. September 2e-"The
only thing that interests the allies is
the position OF Bulgaria as a military
power. For the moment political uues-
tions, ratilicationa of frontiers. etc,
a. DO not exist says Captain Gordon
Gordon smith. OF the Serbian Mission
in Washington.
What then is the position Of Bull
garia as military power? Her armies
are not in retreat, they are in flight.
Hundreds OF cannon. most OF them or
heavy caliber without which no mod
ern army can hold the field. have fall
len into the hands OF The allies. 1t
are dealing with a country whose max
tmum army at the present moment is
10000 TO 1000 men. The capture OF
10000 unwounded prisoners is the same
as II the Germans had lost 100000 men
on the western front.
With the Bulgarians are a certain
number of German and Austrian troops.
When l was with the Serbian army,
the German contingent was reckoncd
at l3S.00o men. That was eighteen
months ago. 1t is. therefore. beySnd
uoupt that the German contingent in
the Balkans are helpless to save their
Bulgarian allies.
That Bulgaria considers herself as

all that remains is the possibility OF

STORY OF ANOTHER MINE.
They came from mine that has
100000 tons of bituminous coal
stored in it's chambers. In June,
1916. there were gao men digging coal.
They were digging from q seam eight

2S,563 tons of coal. A lot OF 1t went
the same way that my product used
to go. 1t helped turn out munitions;

produced 23,967 tons. It was rapidly
moved. Another six months passed.
In June, 1917, 240 men worked. The
mine was not given enough cars but
the men made fairly good time. They
produced that month 4,429 tons and
it moved fairly rapidly.
Still another six months passes. it
is December, 1917 The same mine
has only 1919 men working and they
produce 1852 tons Of coal. 1t was
loaded on the cars. Some of it still
stands in the yard at the mine.

during that time at those two mines.
Monday has proved to be the best
day in the week for the mines during
the shortage because that Ia: the day
the most cars are brought in to be
loaded. One fellow told Of riding
along a road for forty miles on ono
Monday. He passed in sight OF the
tpples Of thirty-three mines. There
were not fifteen cars in all at these
tipples. There we're not cars enough
at the tipples of thirty-three mines to
provide days work for one mine
my size. ....,. .5.-s,,.a.- .s,5,l
Now, let's get back to the mine
from which these men came. That
mine should have received in Janu-
airy, according to its car rating, 800
cars. That's the same rating that l
have. It actually received 1856 cars.
That mine should have produced on
its, present rating 1880 tons. II
actually produced 6,720, tons. a loss OF
1870 tons, or loss from its normal
production Of a year ago Of 21,S40
tons. .-- .... .- ...... g.. -s,,-,
And that's just one mine! ga.
Nearby that mine is another with
Just little smaller capacity under
normal conditions. Here's its story
in a few. words. In June, 1916, IL
worked 242 men. During that month
it produced, loaded and shipped 22,67b
tons. In June, 1917, it worked 102
men, produced loaded and shipped
10,1S7 tons. In January it had. .
force of 1872 men, working when they
could get cars to load. 1t loaded
$500 tons. As in the other cases,
much Of that coal is still in its yard.
