discussions on the protest of Bel

ment OF representation on the league

when the peace delegates met again
today, at the foreign office.
Representatives from twenty two
small powers were invited into to-

the representatives Of the "big five"
1t is regarded as possible that an
other formal protest would develop
today.
Hymans Protests.
The protest sent yesterday by r.
Hymans, OF the Bulgarian delegation,
amplified the remarks made by him
at Saturdays session of the peace
conference.
The protest pointed out that Bel
gium has been in the war as long as
the others, and believes that be

ing her geographical position, and
her economic standing, she should
have greater representation in the
peace conference and especially on

Major Bastedo paid a tribute to the

Women had gained much through

navy taught us to hold our tongues. "
American women generally are fear
fully spoiled she added, "but they
were enthusiastic and eager to serve
and sll they needed to accomplish big
things was discipline"
"Womsn's postwar work will be
more important than her war work ."
She continued, and if we ever have
female Tammany Halls, as fear we
may, remember that the restless spirit
which woman has been putting into the
struggle must find new outlets

that women are much more likely to

called for the purpose

borah, "and these women who have
been playing politics here in Washing

Senator Underwood then introduced
an amendment to the amendment pro
posing to substitute the word con

tion in which it is provided that Con
sritutional amendment must be ratified

not seconded, and the Senator from
Alabama allowed his motion to be
smothered in debate.
At 4;30 o'clock, when the galleries
were almost empty. Senator Watson
announced that inasmuch as several
Senators wished to speak on the
amendment. he would call for recess
until tomorrow.

there was some doubt as to the final

little resentment over the failure of

and even listened with a considerable
degree OF interest to the remarks Of
the anti-suFrage Senator's.
The peace treaty, prohibition, the
negro question and states rights were
ali invoked to provide fuel for the anti
suffrage speeches. Senator Hiram
Johnson moved THAI all unfinished
