Mrs. McCormick, vice-president of the American Women Suffrage Asso- ciation said: “For the first time since 1889 there are two National organizations working for suffrage. One is the National American Woman Suffrage Association, organized for state work in all of the non-suffrage states and for federal work in forty-one out of the forty-eight States. The second, made up of a comparatively smal] group of women, is known as the Congressional Union. This new association proposes to orgaize with- n the states, in spite of the already existing State organizations, not to obtain suffrage within the state but merely to bring pressure to bear on Congress for the passage of the An- thony amendment. This is not merely a duplication of effort but in many ways a conflict, for the Con- gressional Union differs from the National Association in fundamental characteristics. To begin with, it is not an elec- tive body. Ite officers are self-ap- pointed and self-perpetuated. Second- ly, its policy is avowedly militant,’ and finally, it has abandoned the old policy of nonpartisanship and has declared war on the [Democratic party. “The question of whether the state asgociations wish to encourage or discourage the activities of the lishment ¢ !5 irsnctes he dif- ferent States i a vital point, for if they wish to efcoirage them a: change in the fundamentl policies which have for many years govern- ed the National Association is in- volved.” MASS MEETING TONIGHT T0 DISCUSS REMOVAL OF THE | L AND W. PLANT A meeting of importance to the citizens will be held at the Herron {D. Rogells. theater at 8 o'clock tonight, when the proposition to dispose of present lcation-of the light and wa- ter plant, and purchase a larger and T. W. Meeks. more suitable one, will be up for discussion . The Board of Bond Trustees rec- ommend this action, and we presume it is in the power of the City Com- missioners to order t. All these of- ficals, however, recognizing that they are the servants of the people are anxious to take counsel with the citizens and get their views on the matter. It therefore behooves everybody who has an opinion on the matter to attend tonight's meeting and let his views be known. If he does not do s0, he will have no right to criticise whatever action may be taken in the premises. The Bond Trustees and the Commissioners want to do the best thing for the city and they want your help in enablimg them to determine what is the best. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mr. R. F.

WAR DAMAGE INSURANCE MAIN BUSINESS IN LONDON (By Associated Press) London, June 7—~From the early days of May, contracts for war dam- age insurance on property in Italy made up a considerable total of the daily business at Lloyds in London.

The premiums asked on this class of insurance varied for different Italian cities. For property at Udine, on the Austrian frontier, five per cent. was asked. The rate for Venice was four per cent; Ancona 3 per cent; Brindisi and Como, 2 1-2 per cent; Palua, 2 per cent; and Rome, Palermo or Bologna, 1 per cent.

London, June 7—When he found that speech, which had been lost through concussion, had returned to him, Private Pointer of the London Rifles, spent a whole night in the general hospital at Lincoln talking to himself. He feared to lose it if he did not keep it up, yet he did not want to call out to the night sister for fear she might faint. So he waited until the attendant came around with his morning cup of tea, then remarked: ‘“‘Shove it down there, old chap.” For this he was showered with the tea by the agi- tated attendant. Pointer’s case has been of intense interest in the hospital, as a case of lost speech, taste and hearing, due to the explosion of a giant shell near him in the battle line.

Explaining the reasons why the mid-year meet- ing was necessary, Dr. Shaw said: “Our work has grown so big and our preblems so numerous that there isn’t time at our annual convention to cover the whole field in a really democratic fashion. We can go in- to some of them at our annnal meet- ing but the hands on the clock go round inexoraljy and we have to move on, leaving many of the sub- jects to be settled by the executive board at its leisure. “If we were a small, compact body, with only one thing to work for, this procedure would be both easy and efficient. But since the National Association is committed to the furtherance of Federal suf- frage and of state suffrage we can never sacrifice one to the other. If we did, we should be reminded tartly of our misdeeds and the papers would hear all about it. “So the National Board has called this conference to give everybody a chance to instruct the Board., There may be confusion of counsel but out of it all we shall get the help we need. The papers will report our disagreements in full, but never mind. We shall go home thinking most of all, I know, of the agree- ments we have reached.” SUFFRAGE NEEDS ONLY FEW MORE STATES T0 SECURE MAJORITY IN CONGRESS (By Associated Press) Chicago, June T7—Alice Stone Blackwell, of Boston, a veteran suf- frage leader, who spoke at the mid- year Conference of Suffrage Leaders here today, declared that the addi- tion of only a few more suffrage states would bring Congress to the point of submitting to the people a nation-wide suffrage amendment. Miss Blackwell said: “Some people talk as though the only difficulty in our way was Con- gress, but that is a mistake. Our real work awill begin after Congress has passed such an amendment and submitted it to the states for ap- proval or rejection. We shall have to carry thirty-six state legislatures. This will be a much tougher job than passing it through Congress, but it can be done. The elder Van- derbilt said that he found it harder to make his first thousand dollars than all the rest of his fortune and it will be harder to get the first fif- teen states than the last thirty- three. “The number of suffrage states has grown four to twelve in the last five years. This has changed the status of our question in Congress from contempt to serious interest and respect. It has given us a ma- jority vote in the Senate and a very large majority vote in the House. Only the addition of a few more suf- frage states will be needed, in my opinion, to bring us the necessary two-thirds vote in Congress for the submission of the nation-wide suf- frage amendment. “Therefore, if we want favorable action by Congress, the most vitally important thing to do now is to get more suffrage states.” LEARNING MODERN ] FIGHTING METHODS Montgomery, Ala., June 7—Mod- ern methods of warfare used on the battlefields of Europe are being taught the officers of the Alabama National Guard at the officers’ school, which was opened in this eity today.

Situaticn on the Battle Fields (By Associated Press.) Londen, June Since the cap- ture of Przemysl, the Germans ap- parently brought heavy rein- forcements into the west and there are distinct signs of resumption of the German offensive in northern France. Nevertheless, the French reports today show a slow and un- interrupted advance in the section north of Arras and important gains north of Aisne. In the east the Austro-German ad- vance is continuing and this move is regarded in London as a political idea of the Germans and Austrians being able to exert influence upon Roumania. Petrograd announces Russian suc- cess along the River Pruth, near Ko- lomea, where Austro-Germans are said to have been forced back across the river. Petrograd also says the Russian lines of defence must be ad- justed on account of the use of pols- onous gases used by the Germans. Fighting along the central section of the River Isonso, close to the Aus- tro-Italian frontier, has developed a series of fierce engagements with the Italians who are finding increasingly stronger opposition of the Austrians who are formidably entrenched. have British Bark Sunk (By Associated Press) .
