It was admitted that the enemy had recaptured a line of trenches at Notre Dame Lorette. near Carency, which were taken by the French earlier in the week.

Column Four! Carranza Raises Part of Embargo on Oil Shipmen ts Not Likely Bryan or British Ambas sador Will Accept Present Atti tude of Carranza, However. Washington, Jan. 16.-r-General Car- ranza's embargo on oil ' shipments has been partially raised, according to a dispatch the British embassy here re ceived today from v era Cruz. Just what concessions Carranza bad mado was not stated clearly, but It was be lieved here that the portion of his de cree which is now annulled pertains solely , to exports from Vera Cruz, or possibly from Tampico also, but not to that part of the edict cancelling for eign concessions. . , Alizeo Arrendondo. General Car- rsnza's local agent, said this afternoon that he intended to tell Secretary of State Bryan and Ambassador Sir Cecil Spring-Rice that the oil companies themselves were responsible for the constitutionalist chieftain cancelling oil concessions. Ho explained that the companies had assumed that General Villa would expel . General Carranza from the Tampico district and had paid their taxes to the Gutierrez govern ment instead of to Carranza. It was regarded unlikely that eithei Bryan or.the British ambassador would accept Arrendondos' explanation and both were expected to demand an an nulment of the decree. Dispatches received at the state de partment this afternoon said Mexico City was "reasonably quiet." The Za patista faction, advices said, had agreed to Gutierrez remaining as pro visional president until January, 1918.

THE DANGER OF TOO 1VIAIMY BILLS! HITS SALLY ON CONGRESS Suffragists Have No Reason to Feel Cast Down by Re buff ! Recently Received, Says White.; RIGHT TO VOTE BOUND TO WIN IN LONG RUN Ultimate ' Goal Will Be -Accomplished Through the States Is Opinion. By William Allen 'White. , Emporia, Kas.. Jan. 16. There is no real reason for the women, who made the brilliant attack on congress and were rather decisively repulsed to be cast down;. Their sortie was a suc cess, for they killed more of congress than congress killed of them. More over, they will have full and. plenty of opportunity to get even with the con gressmen, who voted against them, some day. If that is wise Certainly the congressmen, who voted against woman suffrage as a national pro position, are left naked to their en emies when suffrage does finally come, as it surely will come, so that considered as an advertising raid or as real movement, the battle of January 12 was a real success. It is but one of the many skirmish es, actions and engagements that must come down' before the enfranchisement of American women shall finally tri- umph. It surely beats burning cath- edrals,- baiting policemen or going on hunger strikes and the vote cast in f avor . of the proposition was- rather better than respectable: it was menac ing to those who feel that woman suf frage will produce, the "demnition bowwows" ln tile country. But after all, the congressional con test was only a flanking movement; the real battle line Is in the states. And this does not mean" that the na tion has not the power and . the right to enforce woman suffrage." The rea son why the real fight is in the states iy because the' states furnish local fields for effective agitation. State by state the fight is winning, with ajl3j her and ther .a.gaui, but in general 7 with a net gain every year. And utttll the women have forced r these state contests further consid erably . further than they have forced them - the attempt at national suf frage, while It will be advertising,' will b little else.
