.DEFIES BRYAN TO PROVE
SUFFRAGE STATEMENTS
Association Opposed to Votes for
Women Announces Fight to
Defeat Amendment.

The National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage has announced that
it has set out to obtain the defeat OF
the woman suffrage amendment by at
least thirteen states and issued an
open challenge to William Jennings
Bryan 20 prove statements that he
was quoted as making in an address
at Mon :eomery. Ala, that ratification
8 "a federal woman suffrage amend
Gent would be a sure guarantee of
,ntinued and lasting peace" and that
the forces of evil are lined up
against the ballot for women"
In answer to the first statement by
MIR. Bryan the association declared
that Germany had been given great
consolation" by the womans inter-
national congress at Zurich, attended
by a number of American suffrage
advocates. Replying to the second
assertion, the association said that
there was no connection between suf-
frage and prohibition as shown in
Texas. which defeated woman suffrage
and approved prohibition on the same
day: in West Virginia, which gave
prohibition a 10000 majority and de-
feated 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 woman suffrage
has defeated prohibition three times.

Affidavits Declare Spruce

Army air service, collected the past
year by the Providence Journal. have
been submitted to the special House
committee investigating War Depart
ment expenditures and are being in
vestigated by subcommittee of
which Representative Frear of Wis
consin is chairman.
According to statement author
lied by Mr.. Frear. the aff1davits al
lege that contracts for spruce pro-
duction and railroad construction on
the Pacific coast were awarded under
the cost-plus system to companies
which had no practical experience in
the work. with the result that great
sums of money were wasted. Dishon-
est methods were used by the COM
panies. it is charged, to obtain larger
fees from the government
Allege Details of Waste.
Charges are made" the statement
says, that the government was sub
jected, under the cost-plus system,
to a cost of practically $3.50 per 1000
feet for spruce when private con-
Germs were procuring the same kind
for from $3.50 to S17S.
THE affidavits assert that the waste
caused by companies in building
camps in inaccessible Localities ran
into many thousand dollars; that
there was an utter lack OF proper
care of foodstuffs and that IN many
cases hundreds of dollars worth OF

lessly thrown in the mud at the slde
of the road and left to rot. In one IN,
stance, even stoves were left exposed
to the weather and ruined.
There are affidavits alleging that

road were built into the forests ana
never used. and camps constructed
where spruce was felled, but not an
inch ever brought out"
Criticise Col Disque.
Col. Bryce P. Disque. former CHIEF
of the spruce production, us criticised
in the effidavits for having adopted
wasteful methods for the production
of spruce, for having used poor Juds-
ment in the lumber tracts to be
worked, and for having often re-
versed himself in decisions By his
adoption of a process for splitting
logs, it is charged, only 100000 feet
of timber was obtained from 100000
of logs by one mill and only per
cent Of the timber was fit for air
