300 Women Who Call at White
House Fail to Get Sup-
j. port for Amendment.
'SILENT' SIEGE IS TO BEGIN
Sentinels to Be Distributed Around
Presidential Home So Mr. Wilson
v Cannot Leave Without Seeing
l- Banners of Militants.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Woman suf
fragists, after another futile appeal to
President Wilson today for his support
of the Susan B. Anthony amendment,
announced plans for retaliation by
picketing the White House grounds
with "silent sentinels." Their purpose
is to make it impossible for the Presi
dent to enter or leave the White House
without encountering a sentinel bear
ing some device pleading the .suffrage
cause.
The move was acknowledged to be a
step in the new policy of mild mili
tancy which began with the coup in the
House gallery December 6, when suf
fragists unfurled a "votes for women"
banner while the President was mak
ing his opening address. ,
300 Call on President.
After the women had their audience
today they returned to headquarters
of the Congressional Union and pledged
J3000 for the "silent sentinel" cam
paign. Headed by Miss Maud Younger and
Mrs. Sara Bard Field, of San Francisco,
300 suffragists from the Congressional
Union went to see the President, osten
sibly to present memorials on the
death of Mrs. Inez Milholland Boisse
vain. Because of the affair in the House
srallery in December, there was some
difficulty in arranging the audience, but
the President consented to receive the
women. When they made it the occa
sion to renew their pleas that he sup
port the suffrage amendment the Presi
dent expressed his surprise, reminded
the spokesman of the party he had not
been apprised of their full purpose,
.and was not prepared to say any more
than he had on previous occasions.
Party Biot Committed.
He repeated that he believed per
sonally in their cause, but as the leader
of his party he could not commit it to
action it had not indorsed.
The President added he could not
understand why women failed to real
ize that the Democratic party had done
more for suffrage than the Repub
licans. "I do not need to tell you where my
own convictions and my own personal
purpose lie," the President said, "and
I need not tell you by what circum
scriptions I am bound as the leader of
a party. As the leader of a party my
commands come from the party and not
from private personal convictions. My
personal action as a citizen, of course,
comes from no source but my own con
victions, and, therefore, my position has
been so frequently defined, and I hope
so candidly denned, and it is so impos
sible for me until the orders of my
party are changed to do anything other
than I am doing as a party leader, that
I think nothing more Is necessary to be
said.
Parties Are Compared.
"I do want to say this: I do not see how
anybody can fall to observe from the
utterances of the last campaign that
the Democratic party is more inclined
than the opposition party to assist in
this great cause, and it has been a
matterof surprise to me and a matter
of deep regret that so many of those
who were heart and soul for this cause
seemed so greatly to misunderstand
and misinterpret the attitude of the
parties.
"Because in this country, as in every
other self-governing country, it is only
through the Instrumentality of parties
that 'things can be accepted. They are
not achieved by the individual voice
but by concerted action, and that action
must come only so fast as you can
concert it. I have done my best and
nhall continue to do my best to concert
it in the interest of a cause in which
I personally believe."

SERETH LINETURNED
Roumanian Situation Becomes
Graver, Admits London.
MACKENSEN NEAR RUSSIA
Capture of Tokshani Endangers En
tire Front and Subjugation of
All Roman Territory Now
Regarded as Possible.
LONDON, Jan. 9. The capture of
Fokshanl, the western bastion of the
fortified Sereth line, by the Teutonic
allies is commented on here as render
ing graver the situation of Roumania.
The consensus of opinion is that the
loss of Fokshanl is a serious menace to
the whole Sereth position. The Times
today says:
'It means that the Sereth lines are
turned and that our allies must now
fall back once more. There is no sign
of slackening in the enemy's determina
tion, and it may be, as our correspond
ent at Jassy, the new Roumanian cap
ital suggests, that he designs the com
plete subjugation of Roumanian terri
tory." The Times pays tribute to the great
efforts Russia put forth in Roumanians
behalf, saying:
"Her bold attempt to hold the Sereth
lines has failed, as the attempt to save
Bucharest failed; but she has delayed
the Germans for weeks and made them
pay a heavy price for their successes.
Von Mackensen is now almost with
in striking distance, of Russian terri
tory, but he must either attempt a
passage of the Danube from Dobrudja
or must force the river positions of the
Sereth and Pruth before he can set foot
on it."

Adamson Act Also Attacked
as Interesting With Lib
erty of Contract.
PUBLIC IS NOT PROTECTED
Lawyer Argues That to Make Ques
tion of Wages Political Will
Lead to Consequences Xot
Now to Be Foreseen.
WASHINGTON. Jan. a.-Arguments
before the Supreme Court 'on the con
stitutionality of the Adamson act
neared a close tonight after an all-day
attack on the law by railroad counsel.
The final statement of the Govern
ment's case will be made tomorrow and
the test suit will be submitted for court
decision.
Questions of law, the merits of the
legislation and the manner of its enact
ment were discussed at length today,
and members of the court continued to
add interest to the proceedings by in
terrupting counsel with questions.'
Lack by Congress of authority to
enact what they termed railroad wage
legislation was the principal line of
attack of the railroad attorneys. Wal
ker D. Hines and John G. Johnson.
They contended also that the law is In
capable of operation without Judicial
interpretation, takes property without
due process of law and interferes with
liberty of contract.
Application Held Difficult.
Difficulty of applying the act def
initely was emphasized by Mr. Hines.
He said that, although the law fixes
an eight-hour standard railroad day
for train operatives, nearly all such
employes are employed on mileage
trip, run or monthly basis.
x no primary purpose oi me aci was
address of more than thcee hours. "It
!Mta aside legitimate methods, substl
benefit only to the four brotherhoods
who were demanding the changes all
for the benefit of a special highpald
class. In all aspects it is of uncon
stitutlonal and bewildering unwork-
ability, without relation to any sub
stantial promotion of commerce."
In closing an address for the rail
roads Mr. Johnson assailed the hasty
enactment of the legislation by Con
gress, as well as the conduct of the
brotherhood leaders.
Public Not Protected.
He said the act was against public
and purely for private Interest and
arbitrarily transfers between 40 and
60 million dollars from the pockets of
the railroads to the pockets of the
workmen."
He insisted it is solely and purely
wage-increase law. To make the
question of railroad wages political, to
be settled by Congress from time to
time, he said, would lead to unfore
seen results.
"There Is nothing in the Adamson
act for protection of the public, he
said. "The brotherhoods had the hon
esty not to pretend they were pro
tecting the public, but stood upon their
own selfish ends."
Regarding the statement that the
act was passed to prevent a strike, he
added:
"Have we come to that? Have we
reached the period when the men who
threaten & strike shall be rewarded?
I'm not comparing men, only methods.
but we might as well buy off a gang
of highwaymen with a bribe to pre
vent interference with commerce."
Government Defends Lin.
Half an hour before court adjourned
Frank Hagerman, of Kansas City, spe
cial assistant to the Attorney-General,
began the closing address of the' hear
ings. He defended the law as being
capable of operation by a mere change
of railroad bookkeeping, and said Con
gress enacted It in the face of a "great
emergency."
"It wasn't a one-sided affair." he
said. "There were railroad represen
tatives who acted upon the assump
tion that railroads owe nothing to the
nublic."
"Assuming that Congress can raise
wages for a limited period, can It do
so for an unlimited period?" asked Jus
tice Pitney. "Where do you draw the
line between private operation and
public management?"
"I don't draw the line," Mr. Hager
man answered.
"But it may be necessary for the pur
poses of this argument,- justice x-ii-
ney observed.
Chief Justice Defines Position.
Chief Justice White then stated the
following proposition
Here's a question of a strike, jviore
pay is asked. ' The other side says
more pay means nigner rates. con
gress says, 'We haven't had a chance
to Investigate this matter, out we'll
put a temporary arrangement into ef
fect and give an opportunity for full
Investigation with a temporary In
crease of wages ana also an increase
of rates. Now, that's your proposition.
isn't it?"
Yes .,ivMr. Hagerman answered. "The
court has held that if opportunity be
given for a test there should be one be

Mr. Hurerman asserted that no self.

tho nrnnosltion the carriers made to
1H President."
Th carriers were pretending, ne
said, "that they wanted arbitration, but
thev refused to arbitrate me eigni-
hour day demand unless all other ques
tions also were arbitrated.

"What's this got to do with the law

While the legal battle over me law s
constitutionality was In progress in the
Supreme Court, the Senate commerce
committee heard a vigorous protest
from W. N. Doak, vice-president or tne
Ttrntherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
against the measure recommended by
President Wilson to prohibit strikes
and lockouts on interstate carriers

troversy.
"This bill would hand us over, lock,

Mr. Doak. "It would prevent a strike

railroads would take every measure to
till our places and defeat our purpose.

RAID NOT RESISTED
British Troops Find No Oppo;
sition Near Arras.
MACHINE GUNS DESERTED
Attackers Advance to Second and
Third Lines, Finding Xo Enemy
and Complete Destruction
of Trench Defenses.
lOSDOX, Jan. 9. Corespondents
with the British headquarters In
France, describing the daylight raid
by the British on German positions
southeast of Arras, which was referred
to in Saturday night's official com
munication, assert the raiders, who
were English and Scottish troops,
were astonished to find no opposition
worth mentioning. The raid, the cor
respondents aver, gave results that
would haver- been impossible there a
year ago. After an exceptionally se
vere bombardment of the German line
the British started the raid at 3 o'clock
In the afternoon.
'They reached the German front
line." says one correspondent, "to find
the wire cut to pieces and the trenches
in ruins, but nobody there not even
machine gunner. The place had
been vacated.
'A survey was made of the position
without any opposition and the men
advanced to the second line. Here was
the same thing over again. There was
so much of the uncanny about the
easir-ss of the Job that It seemed as
though the Boches had designed some
new dodge and wrre awaiting the mo
ment to set it working.
"Having attended to whatever there
was in the second line, which our guns
had not smashed, our troops went for
the third line. No Germans even were
there. The third line, with its wire.
was the same mess as the first and
wherever the ruin was not sufficiently
complete it was made so.
The correspondent quotes a Scottish
officer as saying:
'From the parados of ...e third-line
trench there was nothing in sight. We
did not see one live German. We
got no machlnc-gun fire when we were
advancing and the amount of shell fire
when we were going back was not
enough to make us hurry."
