Washington, Sept. 3O.-Shipping in
American ports, so far as 1t concerns
shipping board vessels with cargOes
consigned to ports of the United King
dom, are at standstill because Of
the strike Of British railway workers.
Suspension of the sailings of all yes
sells under its control to ports Of Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales has
been announced by the shipping
board through the making public of
an order issued when the railroad
strike became certainty.
The shipping board, it was ex-
planned, ordered sailings suspended
following receipt of information from
its representatives in England as to
conditions in the ports there and after
the issuance of the British order pro-
hibiting the furnishing of bunker coal
to any ships other than outbound Brit
ish vessels.
While shipping board vessels allo-
Gated to the United Kingdom trade
constitute only about One-half Of the
American tonnage engaged. in that
trade, the congestion of ports result
ing from the strike and the British
bunker coal order are expected to stop
eventually, should the strike continue,
the sailings of all American craft to
the British isles.
Shipping board officials refused to
comment on the effect the suspensions
would have on the gradual accumula-
ton and resultant congestion of goods
at Atlantic and Gulf ports.

 0MN ABILITIES

London, Oct. 2s. (By the Associat- ed Press.)-Genera1 Yudenitch, Com mander-in-chief of the anti-Bolshevik forces on the Baltic front, is an or dinary army officer who has forced his way upwards by his talents and his character, said General DobrJan- sgky, representative of General Yu- denitch in England, in a statement regarding his chief and the latter's ideals
 '.As far back as the Japanese war he showed his strategic capacity and initiative as commander of a regi- ment,'' continued General Dobrjan- sky. ''He then received the highest of awards---the uniform of the rifle regiment which he commanded and a gold sword, assigned him by meet ing of representative of the army.
 "Geeral Yudenftch's idea is to fight Bolsh evism to the last, in close connection with General Denikfne and Admiral Ko1chak, for the fiber ation of his country from its oppres- sors and to give the Russian people the possibility of expressing it's will through a freely elected constituent assembly.
 His staff consists of men faithful to their national ideals and their du- ties to the Allies. They never ack- nowledged the Brest-Litovsk peace, and, robbed of all, worn out, but firm in spirit, they are still fighting the German mercenaries and their BoI- shevik agents"

London, Oct 24. CBy the Associat- ed Press. Miss Mithibaf Tata, a young Indian graduate of Bombay University, has come to England with her mother, Mrs Merabai Tata, to ask for the inclusion of women in the new franchise scheme for India. Mrs Tata represents Bombay women and 3 branches of the India Women's Association.
 Because they arrived too late to give evidence before rhe Parliamen- tary Committee on Indian affairs their full statement is being publish ed as an appendix to the report
 'tWe feel that this is the great chance for Indian women to obtain the franchise,'' says Miss Mithibai Tata. ''Postpo1re the measure now and it means that we shall be actually driven backward, and barriers will have been raised in the way or prog ress which will with difficulty be sur mounted"
 She does not ask that all women be enfranchised but only that those who have the same qualifications as men should have the same right and she wants the Indian women to have the education that comes with the DOS session of responsibility
 We feel very stror gIy," she adds ''that if the differentiation is made now between the sexes it will be much more difficult to get back tc the opportunities that exist today"

LYRIC.

The merit of t'Please Get Married" the most recent of boudoir comedies which opens at the Lyric theatre for the week at the matinee Monday, lies in its newness of treatment rather than in it's plot, as the bridal cham Der of hotel has formed the basis of numerous plays of this caliber. Imagine a young bridal couple over taken on their honeymoon trip with a telegram apprising them that the minister who performed their wed- ding ceremoney was not a clergy man at all, but burglar in disguise and you have some slight concep- ton of the possibilities for comedy in the play.
 The couple refuse to believe the message thinking that it honey moon joke, but when they are ordered out of the hotel matters begin to look serious for them. After a, hunt about the city for another room they return only to find the hotel on fire. The hotel detective takes a snap shot of them and adds to their discomfit- ure and the bell boy brings them a bottle of infant food by mistake. The complications follow each other in rapid succession and the audience
