FORCES LINING
UP FOR FIGHT

Washington, July 1S.-The National
Association opposed to Woman Suf-
frage announced today that it had
set out to obtain the defeat of the
woman suffrage amendment by at
least II states and issued an open
challenge to William Jennings Bryan
to prove statement he was quoted
as making in an address at Montgob-
cry, Ala, that ratification of the fed
eral woman suffrage amendment
would be :. "sure guarantee of con-
tlnued and lasting peace" and that
the forcecs of evil are lined up
against the ballot for women"
In answer to the first statement by
Mr.. Bryan, the association declared
that Germany had been given great
consolation by the Women's Inter-
national Congress at Zurich attend
ed by number Of American suffrage
advocates. Replying to the second as
sertion. the association said there
was no connection between suffrage
and prohibition as was shown in Tex
as. which defeated woman suffrage
and approved prohibition on the
same day. in West Virginia, which
gave prohibition 10000 majority and
defeated suffrage by $4,000, in Ohio
which defeated suffrage three times
at the polls and adopted prohibition
by popular vote, and in California
which. after adopting women's suf-
1rage has defeated prohibition three
times.

WILSON VETOES
DAYLIGHT SAVING
REPEAL BILL

Washington, July 12.-The daylight
saving law was rescued from repeal to-
day by President Wilson's veto of the
agricultural appropriation bill.
At the same time the President also
vetoed the sundry civil appropriation
bill because, he said, by restricting
funds it crippled the work Of rehabili-
tating and restoring disabled soldiers
and sailors to civil life.
The latter veto apparently was ac-
copied by Congress without contest and
the sundry civil bill went back to COM
mittee to he reframed.
Veto of daylight saving. however was
not accepted so readily. although the
prevailing opinion was that necessary
two-thirds vote to repass it over the
Presidents head probably would not be
mustered.
The frat test will come in the House
Mondfy when. according to announce
ment. Republican Leader Mondell or
Chairman Hangen Of the agricultural
committee will move the repassage Of
the bill with the daylight-saving repeal
intact over the presidential veto.

Mexico HeadSays
Intervention
No Solution

Paris. July 13-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Intervention by The Unit
ed States in Mexico would tend rath-
er to complicate the situation than
to ameliorate it, according to a
statement made today by Francisco
Leon De La Barra, former provi-
sional president Of Mexico, in re-
ferring to dispatches received in
Paris to the effect that American in
tervention in the southo n republic
is possible.
Though the dispatches brought to
my attention do not give a clear
idea Of the present situation" said
Senor De La parra, Il consider il
my duty to make known that any
Intervention in my country, instead
OF solving the situation, can only
produce more serious complications
which would further postpone the
organic peace we wish for. Such
Intervention would net only offend
national sentiment, but would be an
obstacle to the reconstruction Of the
country.
Most elements in Mexico anxious
ly desire this organic peace. which
would facilitate the most advanced
progress in law and order and en-
able Mexico to maintain the most
cordial relations with foreign coun-
tries through the recognition of in
ternational obligations and through
the protection of life and property.
If this peace can be accomplished
and I regard it as feasible, a new
era will be opened in Mexico for for
eigners as well IS for nationals"

Story Of Trip
Of Big Blimp

Pulham. Norfolk, New England,
July 1S.-(By The Associated Press)
The log Of the R.S4 on. its eastern trip,
as on its voyage westward, was kept
by Brigadier Gen. Edward F. Matt
land, representative of the British
air ministry on the dirigible.
The log says that, after an ex-
tremety good getaway" New York
looked wonderful at midnight and
was veritable fairy-land of twink
ling lights. The searchlights at frst
made a very unsuccessful search
but finally got us fair and square,"
The great electric signs of New York,
the Log says, illustrate the great i'm
portance Of aerial advertisements. At
a distance of 1000 feet above New
York. the air was disturbed partly
because of the heat rising from the
city and partly because Of an ap-
preaching cyclone from the Great
Lakes. The airship was very steady
under the circumstances. At 1.10 A.
M. Thursday the RIA headed for
her Scottish base at an estimated
speed of "A miles an hour. getting
the full benefit of a 35-knot wind
from the southwest. At PIT o'clock
the dirigible crossed the American
coastline. Four engines were running
at that time while the fifth was being
rested. An entry in the Log here
says: .-
Some hot coffee from a vacuum
flask presented by kind American
friends was very nice and warming"
BY 9.15 o'clock Thursday morning.
the dirigible had covered 4s0 miles
from New York. The mail '.>s then
sorted. 1t includes letters for King
George, the British foreign Office. 9th
er governmental departments and a
number of newspapers. the Log add
ing:
We hope this journey will prove
the fastest newspaper delivery be-
tween New York and London yet
accomplished and will be the fore
runner of a regular interchange of
mail between the East and the wesct
the Old. World and the New"
At 1915 o'clock the R-34 was max
ing 72 knots an hour with four en-
|, gines. the forward engine having
stopped.
II all goes WELL" the Log says.
Scott (commander) will go straight
to London to see how long it takes
to cross from Broadway to Piccadily
Circus, from the heart of one capt.
tai to the heart Of another. At noon
we had lunch with a ration Of rum.
Much secondary meteorological in
formation in the Atlantic, it was
agreed. could be obtained cheaply by
equipping cable repair ships with
