The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1920-04-01

jackson, Miss, March 31.-M Missis-
sippi today declined to become the
thirty y-sixth state to ratify the feder-
al woman suffrage amendment.
The lower house Of the legislature
by an overwhelming vote Of 81 to %
adopted a resolution disagreeing with
the senate resolution of yesterday by
which the latter body favored ratifi-
cation.
After the first speaker favoring
suffrage had endeavored to make
himself heard there apparently was
little doubt but that the Mississippi
legislatures lower house was deter
mined to let some other state take
action which would make woman
suffrage nation wide. Hoots, cat
calls, ieers and whistling drowned
the words of the speakers who urged
ratification. Cheers greeted those
who spoke against equal ballotting.
They cheered for nearly a minute
when r. II. Watts Of Pisgah, Rankin
county arose and shouted / would
rather die and go to Hades than vote
for woman suffrage"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT DEFEATED
Adopted by Senate This Week, but
Defeated by House Yesterday by
Large Vote.

The suffrage amendment to the
Federal constitution, which was con-
sidered dead, so far as Mississippi
was concerned, bobbed up this week
Just on the eve Of adjournment Of the
Legislature, the Senate reversing its
vote on the proposition on a former
occasion and voting to adopt the a
mendment. However, the second vote
Of the House, taken yesterday, defeat
ed the amendment second time, the
vote being "a to 23.
Jackson, Miss. Mar. S0.-Something
akin to deathbed repentance or a rec
ognition Of the inevitable was man
ifested this morning when the state
senate ratified the federal amendment
for woman suffrage, thus repudiating
the action taken several weeks ago
when the amendment was rejected.
A tie vote was cast on the measure
and Lt.-Governor Casteel, who was
presiding, cast his ballot for the
measure. Owing to the fact that the
legislature is speeding up its work
in order to reach sine die adjourn
ment by Saturday, it is very doubtful
whether the measure can get through
the house.
Suffrage leaders abandoned the
fight several weeks ago, regarding
their cause as hopeless, and It is ex-
pected that they will now hurry back
to the capital and renew the battle.
In the house today il was stated
that there is a probability that the
session may be prolonged into the fol-
lowing week if there is any chance
to get the suffrage resolution through.
The reversal Of attitude in the SEN
ate was remarkable, ten members
having changed their minds since the
amendment was considered several
weeks ago.

Linseed Oil From Flax

The principal commercial product
of flax seed is linseed oil. Mr.. T. A.
Gotta, Flax Specialist for the U. S. De-
.partment of Agriculture and the N. D.
Agricultural College cooperating stat
es in the manufacturing or Crush
ing" process, the flax seed is first
cleaned to remove dirt, weed seeds, etc.
1t is, then ground and subjected for
several hours to a high-temperature
steaming process. The seed is next
placed in presses, and by means of
high pressure the oil is forced out of
the seed. Linseed cake is flax seed
from which the oil has been removed.
1t is a b~y-product, but highly valuable
as a stock feed. Removal of the oil
is not complete. The cake contains
from 6 to 8 per cent of oil and is a
feed high in fat and protein. One
bushel of Northweste1n-grown flax
seed makes about 10 pounds (2.5 gal
lons) of linseed oil and 81 pounds of
linseed cake. Seventy per cent of the
linseed oil is used in paints and var
nishes, twenty per cent in oil cloths,
llnoleums and tarpaulins, and about
ten per cent in water-proofing mater
ials, printers ink, rubber substitutes
soaps, etc.

FOR THE BOUNTY
A Warning Was Issued Against
The Killing of the American

against the threatened extinction Of

Of Natural History which stated that

Destruction of the birds is attribut-
ed to hunters in Alaska who are kill

than $500 eagles were slain in a few
months in their favolite breeding

After declaring that the American

Of which the government annually ex'

next WAR Will
Be FOUGHT IN
AIR BY PLANES
Chief Of Division of Training
and Operations, of Army Air
Service Declared That First
Battle of Next War Would
Be Fought In Air - First
Battle Would End War.

! New York, March 29.-The first
| battle of the next war will be fought
in the air. Brigadier General William
| Mitchell, chief of the Division of
Training and Operations, Army Air
Service, declared in a statement here
today, in which he visualized a deci--
sive aerial conflict. The battle, he
added, would also be the last one of
the war because the losing nation
| would be helpless and unable to con-
tinue hostilities after its air fleet has
been conquered.
The air service chief predicted that
aviation will completely drive" huge
battle cruisers, battleships and other
surface ships off the water in the next
conflict. "a great air force, can rem
der surface craft incapable Of operat-
ing and stop debarkations from ships
and attacks on shore establishments"
he said.
Brigaried General Mitchell in his
INSTALLATION of the great air strug-
gle Of the future described wildly the
part he believes giant gun-bearing
battle planes, bombers, rigid dirigible
balloons and armored aircraft of var
ious designs will play in the next war.
With the beginning of the war he
pictures a huge fleet Of dirigible bal
looms soaring high above the ocean
and, from nests on the tops of these,
tiny airplanes are launched, locate the
enemy fleet and return with the in
formation. The chief air officer. work
ing in contact with the army and navy
sends his air force against the enemy.
The American fighting planes drive
from the sky the enemy pursuit and
combat planes, launched from the
decks Of enemy battleships.
Then comes the main attack by
u air forces against the hostile
feet" says General Mitchell. "The
battleplanes are in squadrons of 25
and four of these constitute an at
tack group. Circling over the enemy
fleet they maintain a heavy fire, de-
stroying personnel and anti-aircraft
equipment.
with the gun-bearing planes or
immediately behind them are the bonn
bers, huge air freighters carrying
projectiles weighing up to one ton
and depth bombs for effect against
submarines. Water torpedoes control
led by wireless from the planes crash
into the sides Of the hostile vessels
sinking the smaller ones and damag-
ing the larger.
Darkness comes and when VISIBLE
ity from the ships has become poor,
huge rigid dirigible balloons carrying
bombs of enormous weight join the
attack, their projectiles crashing thru
the heaviest armor Of the enemy ships
CAS- the navy comes up to- COM
plete the work undone by the aerial
forces the battle is over. The enemy,
driven from the aid and with most
Of its ships either sunk or out of ac-
ton, s~urrenders. The battle has been
the first and is also the last of the
war. The enemy cannot land his for
ces."
