ANTI-SUFFRAGE
PAPER MAKES
BOW TO PUBLIC
The Woman Patriot" Be,
gins Publication to OPP
pose Votes for Women.

The irst issue Of The Woman Pa
trIot. which styles itself "a Ma
tional Newspaper for Home and Ma
tional Defense Against Woman Suf-
frage, Feminism and Socialism,,
made its appearance in Washington
yesterday. 1t Is the official organ OF
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage, Of which Mrs.
James w. wadsworth. tr.. wife OF
the Senator from New York. Is presi-
dent.
In this issue It Is shown that the
women behind the publication are
keen for a fight and that personalities
are not to be barred in its columns,
and that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
head of the National American Wom-
ans Suffrage Association, Is to be
made the target OF many of its shafts.
Henry watterson contributes the
leading editorial under the caption Of
The Combine Of Cowardice." He ac-
Cuses newspapers Of cowardice and
cupidity in the matter Of woman suf-
frage and winds up his editorial with
the following paragraph:
The professional politician-seek-
ing lines of least resistance-the popu-
lar preacher. not daring to offend an
active, albeit a minority section Of
his oongregation-can always and
easily be bullied by the shrieking sis
terhood. Meanwhile, the soul of Su-
san Anthony, like that OF Old John
Brown. goes marching on. 1t goes
on toward the feminist
goal of blatant infidelity, rejecting the
religion of Jesus Christ and Him
cruciled and repudiating the man
made Bible Of Moses and the prophets
in favor of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's
'Woman's Bible which teaches the
religious heresies of Voltaire, Paine
and Ingersoll, along with the free love
theories Of Mary Wollstonecraft,
Victoria Woodruff and Ellen Key"

GERMANY WILL
TRY NOBLEMAN
FOR TREASON
Former London Ambassa.
dor Criticised for Permit
ting Published Truth.

Prince Lichnowsky is to be pros
ecuted for treason. The Prussian
house OF lords has voted to with
draw the immunities attaching to the
former ambassador to London rs q
member Of this house.
He will be turned over to the i'm
perial prosecutor to stand trial. This
Information was contained in diplo-
matte dispatches received here yes
terday.
The charges are based on his per-
mittlng to become public the memo
orandum in which Lichnowsky ac-
cused the German government Of be-
ing responsible for the world war.
1t Ii regarded as extremely sig
nificant by diplomats here that the
charges have been framed on this
indiscretion rather than on the con-
tents Of the memorandum itself.
1t Is construed to mean that the
government is unwilling to submit
to even a Prussian tribunal the issue
OF the truth Of what Lichnowsky
said. It Is not believed here that
the contentious contained in his SEN
sational revelation can be contra
vened.
Lichnowsky has stated that the
memorandum was written for his
private archives and only became
public through ''an unprecedented
breach OF confidence"
