BIG SUFFRAGE RALLY.
W. G.. McAdoo and Mrs Gait at Meeting
Thursday Night

With the appearance of William c..
McAdoo. former Secretary of the Treasury.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, one of the
most distinguished women speakers of the
day, and the possibility that United States
Senator Selden Palmer Spencer of Missouri
Will be at the rally to be held Thursday
night in the ballroom of the Hotel du Pont.
suffrage leaders today said they were con-
fidens of arousing even greater support TO
their cause than now exists.
MIR. McAdoo is a Democrat, Senator
Spencer a Republican. while Mrs. Gait
has spoken at meetings throughout the
country independent of either OF the two
great parties. Judging from the appli-
cations made today TO suffrage workers
for admission to the rally, the ballroom
will be filled to overflowing An orchestra,
or possibly band, will be engaged to pro-
vide music.
Confidence felt by the suffrage leaders
increased measurably today on learning
the most recent declaration of Governor
Townsend that he feels no doubt of ratif-
cation by the special session of the Legis-
lature of the suffrage amendment. How
ever, the suffrage leaders are taking no
chances of "fiuke" and are working day
and night to insure success beyond any
possible slip up.

MORE TROOPS RUSHED
TO BERLIN BY NEW HEAD
Kapp Unable to Get Other Than
Military Backing, but is
Optimisticl
BY Associated Press 20 Every Evening

Berlin, Monday, March I5.-Iieavy
troops reinforcements were received this
morning by the new government in Ber-
hin. The troops are marching into Berlin
from varioHs nearby garrisdns.
Chancellor kapp, who was carried
into Office on the point of only 5000
baypnets three days ago, has thus far been
able TO produce only military backing for
his government. The basis of his political
authority and the source of the support
other than military which he claims con-
tinue TO be matters of profound mystery.
notwithstanding this the new chancellor
appears buoyant woth optimism born of
the conviction that the instrrection which
he heads will win the people.
This morning the chancellor locked
horns with organized German labor in a
struggle for mastery. However, if the
general strike which is already paraly,ing
Berlin by reason of its unexpected rami
feations, and which is reported swiftly
spreading TO the nations vital industrial
centers, should be maintained for only
three days the view of MANY observers
here Is that it would be unreasonable TO
assume that he win be able 10 establish
his government firmly despite his armed
forces
