WOMAN SUFFRAGE CHIEFS
LINING UP THE SENATORS

suffrage workers in and out of Con-
sress, it was stated today at national
woman suffrage headquarters here, are
busy lining up members of the Senate
in the effort to bring the suffrage
amendment to vote before February
10. Leaders of both parties in the Sen
ate. also was stated. feel certain of the
passage of the amendment. Senator
Sherman of Illinois is quoted as saying:
Republican senators cannot afford to
have the suffrage resolution defeated,
and neither can the democrats. The
states already having women voters in
the choice of presidential electors will
and ought to observe the vote in the
Senate closely"
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois, speaking from the democratic
standpoint, is quoted as follows: i
THE democrats are going to do
everything they can to bring the
amendment before the Senate at the
earliest possible moment. They are
anxious that there shall be no indicas
tion Of obstruction or delay"
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana. speak
ing for democrats of the south, is
saying: Il think the democratic party
ought to do all it can to shove the
amendment through, and I shall GER
tainly do all 1 can to bring it about"
The statement concludes:
Anne Martin of Nevada, leader Of
the lobbyists of the national woman's
party. explains the fact in this way:
Lobbying has changed in the last three
years from an Adam and Eve debate
to political conversation. The old ar
gument about the virtue and weakness
OF woman was silenced long ago; we
cont even have to explain what the
federal suffrage amendment is. and ali
members of Congress apparently know
In how many states women are voting.
What they want to know is how many
votes we have pledged, and which side
Of the house they are on"

COME ON. MEN. AND CHOP WOOD
ON YOUR 'F1EATLESS MONDAYS

in the vicinity of Washington. while
the people are clamoring for coal.
Montgomery county, Maryland. with no
large urban centers, is being supplied
| this winter with hundreds. perhaps
| thousa nds. of tons of coal. for domestic
use, while an abundance of wood at the
very doors of many of the inhabitants
| remains untouched. similar situa-
I tion obtains in most of the urban CEN
| ters and rural districts of the eastern
| states.
| NO doubt owners of woodlands would
| be willing to have wood of the kind
| referred to above cut and removed II
| there We're no coal available in rural
community where woodlands abound.
the inhabitants could and would sup
ply themselves with wood for fuel.
Even in urban centers it is perfectly
practicable to utilize some of the waste
time and energy of citizens to convert
some of the waste timber in the vicin-
ity into availa BILE fuel and thereby help
| to meet the shortage in the coal fuel
supply.
Citizens if deeply imbued with a
spirit of patriotism like that of the
men of the revolutionary period will
redeem the time during every holiday
by doing something to help themselves
to obtain fuel and thereby help their
neighbors well. The country needs
now as never before concrete express
sions OF patriotism and evidence of the
creative resourcefulness and virility
which characterized our forefathers,
who we're urspoiied by paternalism.
Instead of looking for places of
amusement on voorhees, days or on
holidays in war times. let thousands of
citizens quit themselves like men. go
forth to the woods with saw and ak
ard demonstrate that the spirit of the
pioneers and of rs still lives in this
generation. In this practical way short |
age of fuel has been measurably re-
lieved in some localities. Why not
here?
The citizens of Washington can If |
they will measurably relieve the fuel
situation here by unselfsh individual
and organized effort expressed in terms !

COL. ROOSEVELT SEES FRUIT
OF SENATE MILITARY INQUIRY

press on January II stated that he had
been helpless to prevent the burning
alive OF q negro because the home
guards had no rifles, and because there
are over 500 national guardsmen at
Camp Jackson, but they are equally
helpless because they have no rifles"
Many deficiencies can be covered up
or their existence denied, but some can
not thus be concealed.
Wooden Guns in Camp.
Any one can see the wooden cannon
and wooden machine guns in the training
camps: every one knows that our Army
at the front has French cannon and
French machine guns. viii not Secre-
tary Baker state frankly when our own
cannon and machine guns will be ready ?
After one year of war we have none.
Must we wait another year before get
ting them? Casper Whitney, a respon-
s1ole newspaper man, has stated lam
entable shortcomings of our Army at
the front. Will not the Secretary ad-
wise US what steps he has taken to In
vestigate this statement and remedy
the shortcomings? The appointment Of
Mr.. Stettinius is a good thing. but it
does not represent even a half step to-
ward bringing order out Of the admin
istrative chaos at Washington. Drastic
action is needed to secure plan pro-
vfd1ng for coordination, responsibility
ana emc1ency, and, above all, for secur-
ing the right men to administer the
plan.

the fact that it represents certain ao-

Not in Accord With Facts.
His statements as to the SatiSfactor!
condition of things in the camps are
not in accord with the facts. 1t is OF
course exceedingly difficult to get
testimony from Army officers because
they have vividly before their eyes the
signal punishment inflicted by the ad-

who have examined conditions and
know how bad they are cannot give
our authorities in many cases because
we will not expose good officers to pun

But certain vitality important facts
are easily attainable. At the very time
