NEED TWO STATES
NOW TO RATIFY
SUFFRAGE RIGHT

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Suf-
frage leaders today were confident
that the constitutional amendment
granting votes to women will be
finally ratified by April.
A suffragist victory in West Vir-
ginia, after one of the most dramatic
flights of the long campaign, will
make the number Of states which
have ratified thirty-four, only two
less than are needed to make the
amendment a part of the constitu-
ton.
The legislatures OF Delaware and
Washington meet this month to con-
slider suffrage. Washington already
has it by state enactment. and for
this reason suffragistA expect little
opposition to passage Of the ratitica-
ton act there. In Delaware the
women made a careful poll Of the
Legislature before pressing for spe-
ciaI session.
If ratification should fail in either
Delaware or Washington, suffra g1sts
plan to center their efforts in OBJ
tanning special legislative sessions in
Vermont and Connecticut, where, they
declare, they are assured Of sufficient
votes to ratify.
Final ratification of suffrage by
April would bring into both conven-
lions as well as into the November
elections the full force of the influ-
|ence of millions of women voters
who have never cast a ballot.

FIVE BILLSTO
END MERCHANT
MARINE PUZZLE

| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sans poll
with respect to the future of the
| American merchant marine is to be
| decided by congress following testi-
! mony to be taken on five bills now
pending before the commerce commit
! tee of the senate.
| The fundamental problem at stake
| however, is covered by the two bills
| of Senator Jones of Washington
| Senate bills 3359->and 3356-which,
respectively, lay down policy for
| the disposition or operation Of the
vessels now owned or in process of
| construction by, the government and
| provided for the creation of United
t States Merchant Marine corporation
| to sustain and build up American
! shipping.
Was Selling Ships
In the absence of any specific in
structions- by congress, the shipping
board, under the direction Of Chair
man John Barton Payne. was pro-
! ceeding with the sale of Uncle Sam S
| merchant Ships.
! Prior to the stopping by q private
/ injunction suit, of the sale Of 80 for
mer German passenger ships. the
board had sold 1911 ships, with a total
of 1.274,371 deadweight tons, for
| $95, 5000 or approximately SIS per
| ton.
This is from 1925 to $3.50 per ton
less than it would cost to build the
! same type of ships today. and an
| equal amount less than the cost of
! the vast majority of the 1858 vessels
! yemaining in the possession OF, or
/ under contract by, the shipping
! board. ":@'
The board was proceeding to throw
| the governments vessels on the msr-
| Eet, for sale to the highest bidder,
under provisions continuing the ves-
sells under the United States regis
| try and on trade routes designated
| by the shipping board. on the theo-
ry that now the war was over Uncle
Sam should get out of the shipping
business Immediately, and at what
ever loss necessary.
Would Mean Big Losr
! This policy would have put into the
hands of private shipping interests,
for less than 100000, 900 vessels
costing some 50, 100000, 600.
Chairman Payns has stated. how
ever, that even at cut-rate prices, pri-
vate shipping interests might be ex-
-pected to absorb only some 900 ships
Those vessels that would find buy
ers would, naturally be the cream OF
| the fleet.
Our best vessels wolId move into
private ownership at prices far be-
low present cost and Uncle Sam
would be left in possession of s9me
1,500 boats, including all the second.
class ships and the inferior types
which the government would have t.
operate in competition with the bet.

1t is TO prevent just this situation
that the Jones bills are drawn

! would take over the entire govern
ment fleet, both for purposes of op

RETURN after
FILING CLAIMS
Three Aledo Ex.S0ldiers Back From
Wyoming, Leaving Six Work
ing on Railroad.

Three Aledo ex-soldiers who went
to Wyoming Saturday, May s. to
file claims on the land recently
opened by the government, arrived
in the city today from Gillett, where
they had filed the necessary pa
pers. Six of those who left here
remained in Gillett and are at pres

road.
Those who came home are Clyde

Painter. The men stated this
morning that they would probably
return to their claims in about two
weeks.

Of the return trip from Gillett.
Owing to the snow and rain of the
last few weeks in the west many
! miles of highways and railroads
have been washed out, and it is
impossible to travel except on foot
or in some places on horseback.
The three men left Gillett on Tues
day and reached Edgemont, S. D..
and were marooned there owing to
the washouts on the railroad. Sew
| eral bridges were destroyed by the
floods. Two of the principal roads
through the Black Hills were SO
badly washed out that it probably
would be weeks before they are
fit for traffic.
The men left Edgemont Thurs
day and started to walk the So
miles to the nearest station. where
they could catch a train for home
By the help of work trains and
handcars the men reached Alliance
Neb., $50 miles from Gillett. Their
trip from Alliance to Aledo was
uneventful.
Mr.. Whittier says that among the
many former soldiers who have .es-
tablished themselves in the western
state he met six men with whom
he had served for two years. One
