Up to this morning Count von Bern- etorff bad not heard from his Govern- ment in answer to the report he ssnt fast week of his personal conversa- tion with President Wilson, He does mot know whether the cable messages wot through, even though transmitted under American State Department stamp. As the Ambassador is endeavoring to make the Berlin Foreign Office un- @erstand the trend of American pub- Nic sentiment and the motives of this government, the President and Cabi- net were willing to proceed slowly go that he may have every opportun- ity of paving the way for the com- ing note. But the delay in despatching means mo change in policy on the part of this government. The programme as get forth in President Wilson's note of Feb. 10 calling f strict account- ability and that of May 23 requesting modification of submarine warfare will be continued in the forthcoming note. If by to-morrow the Ambassador bas nothing to communicate there will be no further delay. The President has devoted many hours to working over the text and revising it so that there may be no misunderstanding of its meaning and its finality of pur- Pose.

Youmans Claims Dr. Anna Shaw Had “Flattened Her Out.” CHICAGO, June 7.—The mid-year conference of the National American Woman Suffrage Association had progressed but half an hour to-day when verbal sparks began to fly. The participants were Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, President of the association; Mrs. Thomas W. Youmans, President of the Wisconsin State organization, and, as peacemaker, Mra, Harriet Taylor Upton, President of the State organization of Ohio. Mrs, Youmans accused Dr, Shaw of “flattening her out with a steam- roller.” The trouble arose over the Congre: sional Union, a suffragist organiza- tion said to advocate militant meth- ods, including attacks on parties and individuals which oppose the woman movement, This is one of the most important subjects to come before the conference, a Mrs, Youmans offered a resolution | calling for an arbitration committee, on which should have fair representation, to consider all matters bearing on the subject, A motion to table by Mrs, Stanley McCormick of New York carried, 49 to 25, above the protests of Mrs, You- mans, who sald: “I wish to enter my solemn protest | against tactics which shut off discu sion of this most important subjec' Mrs. Upton sought to smooth mai ters by explaining that the tabling of the resolution was not due to oppost- tlon to the subject matter in it, but to} the necessity of straightening out and separating distinctly the various prob- lems before the conference and to pro- ceed to their discussions in an orderly manner, “Precisely a remarked Dr, Shaw, and representatives of the States were called on to report progres: ganizing by Congressional districts as @ part of the Congressional Commit- tee’s plan to Influence Congress in this way.
