Washington, Aug. 1.-THE rela-
tionship to the government of vari-
GUS women's organizations engaged
in war work wasn't, it seems, as
smooth and harmonious as the public
generally has been given to under
stand.
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, official
historian for the Women's Commit
tee of the Council of National De-
fense, has written report to show
that there was constant clashing of
feminine views with masculine or
ders and that there was strong
opposition among the women to men
having the final and determining
"say" with respect to everything pro-
posed.
The government, it is said, held
up Mrs. Blair's report for months.
"We are talking plainly in our
history" says Mrs. Blair, 80 that
the difficulties met by the women's
committee may never be repeated for
any other organization of women

CLEMENT STANDS PAT
Does Not Consider It Advisable or
Necessary to Call Special Sess on

!
Montpelier March 27,-Lillian Oh
zendam of Woodstock, chairman OF
the State Suffrage league, called yes
terday morning at the executive office
in the State House relative to the call
ing of special session of the legis-
lature but as far as could be learned
no change in the attitude of the gov
ernor occurred from the statement
made last evening.
Governor Clement has been receiv-
ing protests against the calling of a
special session of the legislature.
Many of these come from anti-suffrag-
lists, who for the most part are salts
fed to make their objections in the
form of letters.
Gov. P. w. Clement has made the
following statement regarding an in
quiry on the Anthony amendment: 81
am thoroughly convinced that ratifica-
ton Of amendments to the federal con
stitution should only come after a pro
posed amendment has been submitted
to the voters of the state and has
been approved by them. This mode of
procedure is not contrary to the provi-
sions Of the federal constitution and
is in strict accordance with the provi-
sions of the constitution of Vermont.
To date | have not considered 1t ad-
session of the legislature to consider
the Anthony amendment to the feder-
al constitution.

"HITCHY KOO" COMEDIANS
STAGE PRELIMINARY
Engage in Fight on Street and Are
Arraigned In Municipal
Court

Artie Leeming and Jim DeForrest
two OF the comedians attached to the
"Hitchy Koo" company, late Friday
afternoon staged preliminary to the
advertised production at the Opera
House in the evening. There were
two ac s, the first near the corner OF
South and Union streets and the sec
ond in the office of States Attorney
Collins NJ. Graves.
The curtain was rung down on the
first act when Leeming kicked De For
rest in the' stomach and the grand
finale was the fine of $40 and costs
which Municipal Judge William j.
Meagher said Leeming should pay for
the privilege of using his feet in any
such undignified manner.
1t developed at the hearing that
there had been trouble between the
comedians for some time. Soon after
the company's arrival in town they
met near the post Office and the fire
works began. Mrs. Leeming and Mrs.
DeForrest were present as was also
an infant in a go.cart. Upon the open
ing of hostilities the go-cart skidded
into the gutter with the little occu-
pants feet pointing skyward at an
angle of about 80 degrees. The child,
sound asleep was rescued by sympa-
thetic citizen and delivered to the
mother.
The two men used their fists on
each other but the women took no
active part in the scrap They did
turn loose a volley of epithets and pro
family that scorched the atmosphere
and shocked some of the unsophisti-
Gated residents in the large crowd at
tracted by the disturbance. The skit
was fast and short and closed with the
unprofessional use Of Leemings foot.
DeForrest went down and Leeming
beat it for the Putnam house where
he was arrested by Chief of Police
Hurley.
The two comedians, their wives and
the occupant of the go-cart all ap-
peared in the States Attorneys office
where Leeming pleaded guilty to a
breach of the peace and was fined the
customary amount.

Washington, March 26.-Two naval
Officers. Rear Admiral c. p. Plunkett
and Capt. j. X. Taussig, testified to-
day before the Senate investigating
committee that for two years prior 10
the entrance of the United States into
the war, Secretary Daniels steadfastly
refused to approve an increase in per-
sonnel and the Navy department gen.
orally attempted to suppress reports
of manpower shortage. During the
war both Admiral Plunkett and Capt.
Taussig served with the Atlantic heet
destroyer force, the former as COM
mander.
Admiral Plunkett declared he ar
gued with Secretary Daniels on the
personnel question for two years
without making an impression
Capt. Taussig said the Navy Depart
ment's attitude regarding personnel
was zone of unpreparedness rather
than preparedness. The recommen-
dation OF Admiral Dewey as head OF
the General Board for large increase
in enlisted strength was turned down,
Said Capt. Taussig.
Asked regarding the condition of
the feet in April 1917, Admiral Plum
kett, said the ships in commission
we're in as good condition "as could
be expected" but shortage OF men
and constant changes in guncrews
had greatly interfered with gunnery
efficiency and had prevented sending
to sea many ships which should have
been in full commission.
The United States and not Germany
would be paying indemnities now II
this country had faced Germany on

declared. He added incidentally that

CARPENTER SHOWS
THAT HE is CLEVER
European Champion Boxer Shows
Speed in Shlrtsleeves Sparrins
Exhibition

| New York, March 26-Georges Car
ipentier, European heavyweight boxing
champion, gained host OF American
admirers here early today by his dis
play of speed and cleverness in an in
formal shirt-sleeve sparring exhibition
with Major Anthony j. Drexel Biddle
of Philadelphia, before a thousand
guests at a dinner of the International
Sporting club. 1t was the French box
er's first exhibition in this country and
he was given rousing ovation.
The match of two two minute
rounds was staged in a temporary ring
erected in the center of the Hotel Com
modore ball room Tex Rickard was
referee. The boxers merely removed
their coats. vests and collars.
At the outset the Frenchman dis
played tightening speed, his shifty foo
work and feinting being very clever.
Major Biddle, an amateur boxer Of
considerable ability scarcely landed
blow, Carpenter ducking his swings
easily. No hard blows were struck
by either boxer, according to agree
ment. Although the French fighter
was not in action long enough to
gauge his reliability, expert observ-
RS were convinced that he is one of
the most resourceful fighters, especial
ly on the defensive, that Europe has
produced in years.
Carpenter made a brief speech, ex-
pressing appreciation of his reception
and said hes hoped to meet Jack Dem
psey. When he added may the best
man win he was cheered to the echo.
The boxers 17-year-old bride, who
was seated in one of the balconies
was cheered and presented with flow
ers.
