The gathering strength of the AL

the grand assault might start soon
as the roads, soggy with rain, dry
sufficiently to permit the free

Allied patrols, probing for German
strength in the Tunis -Bizerte cor

by Allied planes which also battered
away at German land targets

the Germans threw in tank rein

Mr.. Butler, emphasizing that the
war is "a matter of life and death

they thought they had good chance

He warned that ito win we have

cause I'VE are still too inclined to
criticise each other, too much dis
posed to blame, too little disposed
to praise each other"
I'VE have all made mistakes" he

camp since the fall of Guam, has

Though Ensign Wolfshemer asked
that news OF his good health be re-

any addresses. Through the Wash

By LISBETH sOLLrNG.

The global war which today

War No. II. 1t is still the original
World War OF 1914
This Is the. opinion, expressed
with feryent conviction of Mrs.
Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, daughter
Of woodrow Wilson.
The war today is merely the con-
tinuation of the World War of 1914
it Is one and the same war" she
says. In the years after 1918 We
did not enjoy real peace: 1t was just
dreadful, precarious armistice."
!. A resident OF California, Mrs. Nc
Adoo came to Washington few
days ago to attend the first confer
ence of State chairmen of women
volunteers in the war savings drive
sponsored by the Treasury Depart
ment. The conference ended yester-
day and Mrs. McAdoo will return to
her home in Santa Monica in a day
or two. She is regional adviser of
women volunteers In the States OF
California. Oregon. Washington.
New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho and
Nevada.
Hesitates to Talk.
Not wishing to tread on oncial
toes, Mrs. McAdoo said she hesi-
tated to discuss future peace
4 speak for publication with great
reluctance she said, because I
don't want anybody to think I am
trying to tell Washington what to
do. I am not, Leadership of our
country is perfectly safe in the
hands OF our great President.
But so many women come to me
on my travels and tell me: Wood
row Wilson was right! We should
have entered the League of Ma
tions. It Vas wrong of us, as a
Nation to drop the whole thing
after the war and just concentrate
on our own affairs, the way we
did"
THE IA points" proposed by her
late father are essentially the same
as the seven articles of the Atlantic
Charter, Mrs. McAdoo feels.
"All the countless women I talk
with out West" she says, "are
thinking of the peace which will
follow this war. Generally, they
think 1t can best be set up on the
pattern of something like the

that we must set up the machinery
to enforce the peace"

Chicago Woman
| Sues to Get
Drink at Bar
Ey the Associated Press.

=
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-A woman
asked the Superior Court today to
see that she gets a drink at the
bar OF Adolph's restaurant. At first
glance that would seem q rounda-
bout way Of relieving q thirst, but
the action involved the first legal
test of a controverted local law.
Last month the city Council
amended the liquor ordinance to
prohibit proprietors and employees
from serving women at the bars Of
taverns and cafes. Mayor Edward
j. Kelly designed the ordinance to
keep play girls away from soldiers
and sailors. He Said, too, that the
feminine figure was at its worst
when slouched over bar stool. AL
though they still were permitted to
sip cocktails at tables, some of the
women complained of abridgement
of their rights.
The suit, filed In behalf of Geno-
weave Turnell. alleged the plaintiff
was refused a drink last Thursday
while seated at the bar OF Adolph's
place on Rush street.
1t asked that Adolpn Be COM
PEELED to sell her a drink at the
bar and that the city be enioned
from enforcing the amendment.
The suit contended the revised
law was unconstitutional and un-
reasonable and that, moreover. it
"unjustly discriminates against the
plaintiff and others of her sex in
favor of the male sex"
