SUFFRAGE "ARMY"
HIS ON WILSON
After Interview With President
Women Go Forth to
Ponder.
ISSUE FOR PARTY, HE SAYS
JVlepatlon Is Advised by Nation's
Kxccutive That He Favors Stand
ing Committee, but Personal
Ideas Are Withheld.
TVASHIXGTON-. Dec. 8. Woman suf
frage confronted President Wilson In
the person today of SO members of the
National American Woman Suffrage Aa
eorlation who pleaded that he use hia
Influence with Congress to obtain the
ballot for the women of the Nation.
It was the first time the President
bad been brought face to face with
the issue in a formal way. He told
his callers that whatever may be his
ideas on woman suffrage or any other
subject, he had made it a rule not to
utko anything upon Congress that had
not been the subject of "organic con.
Iteration," by the Democratic party,
of which he considered himself the
spokesman.
Staodlas; Committee Favored.
The President said that when mem
bers of Congress consulted him he
would freely give his views, and he
added that, having already been asked
liis opinion about the organization of
u standing committee In the House of
J:opresentatives to consider woman
urtrage. he had expressed himself In
lavor of such a committee.
Some of the members of the delega
tion were disappointed, some felt en-
eouraK-ea. otners were non-committal.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw expressed the
view that the President's Indorsement
or the Idea of a special committee in
the House was all that could have been
expected under these circumstances.
It was a quiet, earnest group of suf
fragpttes who Visited the President in
t:ic White House offices. Most of them
had walked to the White House through
;. freezing gale. They constt'.uted the
special committee appointed by the
convention of the National organization
to wait until the President's recovery
Irom his illness and they marched to
tho White House to plead their cause
Ir. Shan la Speaker.
"This is to be no mere handshaking
affair," remarked one of the leaders
to th assembled group. "Dr. Shaw will
! all the talking and the handshak
ing too."
It was said that she who spoke
r'jmmbered a visit of New Jersey suf
fragettes who took the President a
tnes.ase on woman suffrage and shook
l.-i nds with him but got no reply.
The President nodded pleasantly to
fit women as they formed in a circle
around him and Dr. Ahaw stepped for
ward. In a low voice she told in a
straightforward, simple way how un
availing had been the frequent pilgrim
ages of the women to Washington
heretofore and how committees of Con.
t-ress had listened courteously but had
"buried their case." She appeuled to
the President, "in the spirit of Justice."
to ur?e Congress by message to adopt
an amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion to be submitted trf the states thut
would give women the right to vote
throughout the land. She suggested
tnree ways for the President to help
the cause of suffrage by a special
message on the subject, a reference to
it in any general message he might
tend, or the use of his influence to
o'otuin the appointment of a standing
committee in the House of Represen
tative to consider the subject as the
Senate had done.
Personal Ylen Not (ilvea.
The President listened in silence. He
had not been asked for his own vlewq
on woman suffrage, so he did not give
li to them, on the proposal to send a
message to Congress he cited his rule
if adhering to party policies. Intimat
ing that when consulted by members of
congress he might give his views
lreely.
There was a pause after the Presi
dent tinishins speaking, an air of
having not been quite saiislied. and
Dr. Shaw resumed:
"Since we are not members of any
political party." she asked, "who Is
going to speak for us there Is no
one to speak for us "
"I realize that." interjected tho Presl.
denu
" -unless we speak for ourselves."
"And you do that very admirably,"
rejoined Mr. Wilson and a general
laugh broke the solemnity of the oc
casion. "I should like to shake hands with as
many of you as want," added the
President, smilingly end several women
Hepped forward. Others hung back
nnd, drifted out of the office. Those
who stayed behind spoke cordially to
tlie President of his courtesy In re
ceiving the delegation after his illness
and some referred to having voted
for him in suffrage states. The women
tiled out and posed for a picture and
went forth into the teeth of the wind
in threes and fours to ponder over
what the President had said.

Driajadler-Ceacral Crosier Thinks Com
press Made Mistake la Ordering
Competltloa W ith Powder Makers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S. A vindica
tion of new management systems in
Government arsenals is the feature of
the annual report of Brlsadier-Ueneral
William Crozier. chclf of ordnance. Un
der the plans of paying premiums over
and above regular wages, amounting
to $ 22.O00 during 17 months, machinists
and moulders in the Watertown arsenal
have Increased the amount of their
work two and a half lo three times.
tiencral Crozeir points out that not
only is time gained In that way and
much pay saved, but large economies
are effected in overhead charges. At
tho Frankford arsonal, the report says,
by manufacturing artillety ammunition
and small arms ammunition Instead c
buying from private manufacturers, a
saving of more thun S1.5u0,00i) was
made during the vear.
Tho report announces the ordnance
bureau has tinlsned a number of pow
erful 12-inch mortars of new design
Tor the Panama Carat fortifications,
which te.sls show to have a maximum
range of more than 11 miles, compared
with eight and a half miles for the
most powerful type formerly in use.
Although, by direction of Congress,
thi ordnance bureau will manufacture
next year all the smokeless powder
for which funds were appropnateu.
General Crozier expresses doubt as to
the wisdom of putting private manu
facturers out of busii.ess. Ho regards
it Is significant that tho Government
monopoly In the manufacture of pow
der has recently been rbolLmed In
France, its the result of disastrous ex
perience, and holds it as the wisest
policy for Congress to fix what it con
siders ft reasonable price for powder
to be furnished by contractors, and
with that restriction authorize the
War Department to irlve private con
cerns a fair share of the work of manufacturing.

the count.

Canadian Loan Goes Begging.
LONDON. Dec . Eighty-three per
cent of the Canadian government loan
of S20.000.000 Issued at 97. was left In
the hands of the underwriters. The
poor public response seems to have
been due to a prevalent feeling that
Canadian borrowing has been much
overdone.
