Formal Opening of Suffrage Fight
 by Louisians

Baton Rouge, La, May 11.-Both factions in the suffrage fight got be- fore the legislature today, the SC called states rights leaders taking the lead by introducing simultaneous
 ly in both houses resolutions propos- ing amendment of the state constitu- ton to give women the same voting privileges enjoyed by men.
 This action was anticipated, having been announced yesterday but shortly afterward Representative Shattuck of Calcasieu parish, unexpectedly intro duced in the house resolution pro- posing ratification of the federal suf- frage amendment. No action on eith- CT was taken by the legislature today and, as committees cannot be appoint ed until after John M. Parker is in- augurated as governor Monday, these moves were regarded as merely a formal opening of the fight. Senator Williamson of Milliken, who has charge of the ratification fight in the senate, announced yesterday he would not introduce his measure until Mon day.
 In the first address ever made in the chambers of the Louisiana legis- lature by a woman, Miss Florence of New Orleans, head of the state equal rights league, declared the states rights contention was an evasion of the issue.

COLUMBUS SAYS WAR OFFICE
 HAMMERED WORK
Rersistent Interference is As sailed in Book by
 K. c.

Knights of Columbus in Peace and War;" the official history of the X. of C., by Maurice Francis Egar and John B. Kennedy, gives wha, purports to be the inside facts ot the war relief and peace welfare work carried on by yolunteer agencies to which American public contributed approximately $30O,OOO ,00O.
 The book discloses that the Knights although being welcome to do relief work by the War Departments com mission on training camp activities in view of the fact that they had main tained 20 huts at the Mexican border and raised $1,500,00O among their members for welfare work, had great dlftlcuity in obtaining permission to go with the A. B. P. while orders from the War Department had been issued permitting other relief agencies to go%abroad.
 The Knights, unable to obtain such an order, went to Gen. Pershing. who pr4mptly welcomed them to France.
 he Knights, it is declared, made It tHsrule to charge service men nothing foE goods or services; distributing chNcolate, cigarettes and soap free, thHee times more than any other or Ea&zations combined except, the Red Ct6ss.
 he Knights were not offered can te@ privileges, and, according to the boyk, they gave away creature com fo,Hs as the only practicable way of liSing up to the plea they had made foE public support; and the War De- partment drowned upon this, assert ing that it tended to put other well fate organizations in an unfavorable light.
 The book states that when the time for war relief drives came, an attempt was made to force the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation army and the Jewish Welfare Board to unite in a drive after the other agencies had made their drive. The Knights objected to this. and Pres ident Wilson finally ordered that there be but one drive for the seven re1ef agencies combined. This drive reaulted in more than S2OO O0o0 900, of Which the Knights of Columbus re- ceiXed about $22 2,OO0,OO
 $he book claims that the Knights 1 wefe not given, a representative on the Committee of Eleven controlling this fund, and thta this committee sought to restrict the Knights of Of their free-gift policy by restricting all gifts to 10 per cent of the funds ofGany organization; that the Knights had budgeted S7.O00,000 for free gifts and could not abide by this decision, and they were then told that if they declined they would be ordered out of Fr1nce. They asked for a written or der to this effect, but it was not forth coming. So the Knights continued their free-gift policy to the end.
 The book asserts, too, that the Knights were obstructed by army officers in their plans for the athletic of the A. E. F. being ex{1uded altogether from the inter- ahjed games, although they had train sdS3eams for the games. The Knights llaO insisted on spending the funds 'nkrusted to them for the purposes in- 'lVded in the scope of their appeal to hN public, refusing to spend money European matters.
