of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George. indicated In subsequent re-
marks. under questioning of socialist
interrogators. that the speech had been
delivered quite as much that his views
might come to President Wilson's at
tention as for the benefit of those
whom he was Immediately addressing.
Count Czernin declined to elaborate
upon his utterances regarding Italy,
Rumania and Serbia.
Il do not wish to return to these
subjects: those who desired to under
stand must have understood" he said
to the socialists who complained that
they had found obscurity in the pas
sages Of his speech dealing with the
countries in question.
On the subject of Germany Count
Czernin pointed out that her situation
was different from that of Austria.
Germany. he said, possessed not only
European territory, but great colonies
and it was natural she should not sur
render the pledges she held until she
had guarantees that she would recover
her possessions. Austria, he added, had
less need of such pledges than her ally.
1t was then that Count Czernin stated
that he had made his speech not only
for the committees ears, but in order
that President Wilson could hear it.

of finding out just how many strangers

At the regular meeting of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations in the

Inability to get an ample supply OF
coal has prevented many persons with
large homes from offering to rent
here to work for the government,
members Of the District Council of De-
fense believe.
William H. Baldwin, chairman of the
council. said last night that several
cases had come to his attention in
which the coal shortage has handicap

night they did not know whether It
would be possible to effect some ar

open their homes to help house the in

guaranteed coal.

QUESTION OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
BEGINS TO ACETATE GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, January (by maiD.-
The question of woman suffrage is be-
ginning 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 organizations
are now openly campaigning in Germany
on behalf of woman's suffrage-the wom-
ans department OF the social democratic
party. the German Imperial Union for
Woman's Suffrage and the German Wom-
ems Suffrage Society. These organiza-
tions have just issued united manifesto,
which is regarded as the opening gun in
determined campaign. In this mani
festo they say:
Lowest as Regards Women's Rights.
"Up to the present Germany stands in
the lowest rank of nations as regards
womens rights. In most civilized lands
women have already been given large
share in public affairs. German women
have been granted nothing except within
the most insignificant limits. In New
Zealand, Australia and most American
and Norway, they had been given politi-
cal rights; today England, Sweden, Rus
sia and many other countries give them
a full or limited franchise. The war has
brought a full victory to the women of
England, Canada, Russia and Denmark,
