NEW DIFFICULTY ARISES Kndical and Irish Votes Enough to Defeat Plans of Women May Be Hallled I.loyd - George Hopes for Victory. I,ON"DOX, Jan. 23. Premier Asquith made quite clear the attitude of him self and his colleague in tne Cabinet nn ihn miblect of woman suffrage to night when he moved the adoption of the timetable lor tne oeuaie on mo francnlse reform bill tn the House of Commons. The Premier said opinion on woman a-jffrage wu so ehorply divided on both swlea of the House that it was Im possible for any government to pro pose the enactment 01 yoies ior wumcu. While he himself was a strong oppo nent to the policy he realized that many of hl poliUcal supporters thought differently. Therefore, with inn fui: consent of the Cabinet, he 'had decided to leave the question to the free Judgment of the House. Dill May Ee Korwd Out. James Lawt:ier. Speaker of the House 01 Commons, made a pronouncement in the iloute which possibly was ominous rf the fate of the woman suffrage amendment, and which may rally rnmiFh radical and Irish voters against it effectively to frustrate the desire of the women. He waa asked by Andrew Bonar Law. leader of the oooosltlon. for a ruling as to whether the proposed amendments wou.'d not so materially alter the bill that In accordance with the practice of tne House its withdrawal would De necessitated. The Speaker, without committing himself as to what might happen in the present case, said the general rule of Parliament was that if the form and substance of the bill were materially rhaneod by amendments It should be withdrawn and a new bill presented. Iep lniprclon Created. The Speaker's atatement created profound impression and efforts have been redoubled to assure the safe pass age of the franchise reform bill by de feating the woman's suffrage amend ment Introduced by Sir Edward Grey. "I hope we shall win on Monday," Javld Lloyd -George. Chancellor of the Kxchequer. told a deputation of suf frnirlsts reoresentlne the working women of the British Isles today, whom lie and Sir Edward Grey, the toreign Secretary, received at the Treasury Iepartment. " I certainly shall do my best to see thnt the amendment to the franchise reform bill eliminating the word 'male' Is passed by the House of commons. Since I have been in the Cabinet 1 have become a more convinced up porter of woman suffrage than ever, tirey Olvea warning. "I am convinced that we shall win and win soon." -The Chancellor of the Exchequer then said that the Liberal government was ready to stand or fall by Premier Asqulth's pledge that If the House of i ominous approved the extension of the franchise to women the government would support It. Sir Kdward Grey gives similar as surances, but warned the women that the opposition to overcome was for midable and that it could not be done bv menace or personal annoyance.. The Cabinet held a meeting this aft ernoon to consider the result of the Speaker's pronouncement, but no deci sion was reached. An adjournment was taken i nil tomorrow morning, but the general opinln prevails that whatever tiie result of the Grey amendment, the Koverument will drop the franchise bill. The leading suf f raslsts are greatly disheartened. The government won ibe ureliminary skirmish on the fran chise bill tonight. The amendment j. reposed by Bonar Law, to reject the JYomier's time limitations in the de bate, was defeated by a vote of 239 to 191. T. R.

Should there be a division of opinion, as diplomats acquainted with Turkey predict, a military revolt against me Cabinet Is not Improbable. The delegates of the allies received th. newa with expressions of anger and sarcasm. Some offered the opinion that the Constantinople coup was pre arranged that Shefket Pasha did not participate In the Grand Council be cause he knew he would succeed Kiamil Pasha. They chafe more angrily under each successive delay which the Turks have raised because every day means to them an enormous burden In keep ing their armies under arms. The withdrawal of their men from Indus trial pursuits, they say. will place their countries in the power of the money lenders of Europe. Th-rii-lar tliat their alliance Is as strongly knit as at the beginning of the war and that they are reauy iw resume hostilities at a moment's no tice. They believe that if the war Is resumed. Russia will intervene with the result that the Turkish Empire would be completely dismembered.

PEOPLE TO DECIDE IN 1915 Campaign Carried Through Without Much Lobbying Active Work tn Various Counties for Elec tion Already Begins. HELENA. Mont.. Jan. 23. The wo man suffrage amendment to the Consti tution giving women the ballot is the first amendment of eight which bave been introduced in the Montana As sembly to pass both houses and it may be first on the ballot at the election In November, 1915. The House today fol lowed the precedent, set by the Senate on Tues-day by passing the woman suf frage bill with only two dissenting votes, the vote being 75 to 2 with eight absentees. The woman suffragists had a com paratively easy campaign, because they made their fight at the state conven tions of the different parties and got pledges in all of them favoring the passage of the amendment. The only opposition that developed In todav's session was from Represen tative Higgins, of Missoula County, who desired to have the ballot show that the meaning of the amendment was to give women the right to .vote. The negative votes were cast by Mr. Higgins and Representative Powell, of Blair County. During the legislative session the women have not been seen in any con iierhle number about the state capitol, but have let the members know they wanted them to abide by their platform pledges. There Is no question but the Gov ernor will sign the bill. Active campaign has been started In a majority of the counties of the state for the election which will finally decide whether women shall vote in this state. of Turkey would mean the extinguish ment of a source of constant disturb ance to peace. Those delegates best acquainted with the Turkish system think that the latest move has not the resumption of war as Its aim but to squeeze better conditions from a desperate situation. Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, believes that today's coup d'etat has for its aim the obtaining of better terms outside of territorial ar rangements. The Greek delegates ob served that today's occurrences at Con stantinople were tangible proof that the Turks deserve no quarter until they surrender completely. 'BLOOMER SUIT" APPEARS AT PAL-M BEACH, FLA. latins thcir.sulvea that tho concert of Europe virtually had settled the Near Eastern war; to the delegates of the Allied Balkan states, and to all Lon Jcn. eNcept the Turkish plenipotenti aries, the news of the 'resignation of K Until Pasha and the appointment of Mahnioud lietki't I'asha to the Grand Yizierate came as a bolt from the blue. Whether this means war to a finish with the "young Turks" in the saddle, or merely is another exhibition of the resources of Turkish diplomacy, none can say; nor can anyone predict defi nitely whether the powers will attempt to coerce Turkey into making peace or- aland as spectators while events take their course. The Turkish delegates have cherished t!ie conviction that abandonment of Adrlanople by the Ministry would bring a Young Turk Cabinet Into power. The tact that Shefket Pasha lias been ap pointed Urand Vizier, while Talat Bey. wio is prominent member of the Vour.ff Turk committee and Deputy from Adrlanople. has been made Minis ter of tbe Interior is significant. Whether they advent of the Toung Turk Ministry means that the Otto- Grcalcr Freedom of Action in Swimming, as Skirt Stops Somo Distance Above Knees. P.VLM BEACH. Fla., Jan. 23. (Spe cial.) This season has developed a new style of bathing suit for women, a fact worthy of note, for since the introduc tion of princess suits about five years ago the garb has conformed to a fixed standard The new suit Is called the "bloomer" suit. It differs from the old style In that the skirt Btops about eight Inches above the knee. This kilt, In stead of being worn with tights, as was the old skirt, covers bloomers which bulge heavily at the knee, where the stocking begins. It is the Intention of the designers. It Is said, to have the bloomers worn In colors 'contrasting sharply with the rest of tho garment, thus producing a striking effect. It is argued, too, that It gives greater freedom of action for swimming. Mrs. J. Shipley Dixon. Mrs. Drexel Blddle of Philadelphia; Mrs. (lobart C. Chatfield-Taylor. of New Vork; Mrs. Vincent B. Hubbell. of Englewood. and her sister. Miss Lillian B Hyde, tho Metropolitan golf cham pion, wore such suits on the beach this morning. Miss Hyde's was particularly becom ing a fact which the photographers soon discovered. She protested vigor ously when she faced a battery of cameras, the picture men following and "snurP'nB" as they ran. COUNTY DIVISION FOUGHT Douglas Legislators to Be Aked to Oppose Siuslaw Backers.
