By M'LISS PITTSHUnOH. Nov. 21. &$$ ' Charges that the 1917 Pennsylvania I.pb- ". I1ainrn wa no sonrd bv nro-uerman urn .'were made today In an clectrlfylnK nillros by Mrs. John O. Miller, president nf the Pennsylvania 'Wornirr'ii Surf race Associa tion, meeting here In Its forty-nlntH' annual convention. The delfgates sat lireathless while Mrs. Miller turned her report Into a heated ile. Enunciation of the brand of patriotism dis played by a number of Pennsylvania poli ticians. "Wo have absolute evidence." she said, in tones ringing with emphasis, "that the (ier-man-Amerlcan Alliance controlled u num ber of the votes of our 1017 l.PKlslature, so I take this opportunity to- warn our mem bers and other patriotic associations that It Is up to them to see that pru-CScnnan forces which are trying In every way in Undermine the Integrity and tln loyalty of our people shall not have tho volcv that they had In 1917. "The sam thing Is true In our big c.tlex. Let us not turgel that cities like Pittsburgh. Philadelphia and Srrnnton will play a gre.it part In this war, which mav runt lime for three or four years loner, and that If those are badly run our central, as well as nur local, government will MinVr." llevlewlng the work of the lasl year. Mrs. Miller declared It was the "history of de feat In tho face of the bitterest opposition we have ever met In the State i-r Pennsyl vania," and she railed upon tin- dolog.itrs and the suffragists hack home whom ihey represented to pursue Vnnslstcnly thi pul ley of working against lVnmse ami the liquor Interests which he represents." "It will be Impossible to get through any progressive legislation," she said, "unless a different type of man can bo sent from some of the counties, men who will Pleasure up with the guod men In tho Kcnato nnd the House. "The war may make some accidental changes," she continued, "but these cannot be logically counted upon, and 1 feel that If our Federal amendment should go through, and It seems that we might Impo for such a contingency since tho wonderful Victory In New York, that the entire strength of our organlzitlon should bo thrown Into defeating certain types of men In the vari ous counties throughout the State. "I feel very Mrongly that this would bo the biggest piece of patriotic work for the service of our country that the surfraglsts could nosslblv render, because In these times of stress we cannot hope to carry on a war with n well-organized country like Oerm iny with the least possible loss of llfo and treasure If we are going to continue to run our Commonwealths and munlclp.ill 'tles as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is at present run. We must remember that, while the patriotic men and women of this country arc bending every energy to help our country, a ceitiiu class of politicians are taking advantage of their preoccupa tion to accomplish everything uvil that they can." In considering the New York victory. Mrs. Miller declared that the lnO.noo majority won by the women of the Umpire Stale surpassed the, wildest dreams of tho most cptlmlstlc suffragists That victory also proved, she contended, that the big cities were easier to win for suffrage than the counlry districts. "New York will add forty-five electoral votes," she said, analyzing tho probable ef fect the victory will have on the passage of the Federal amendment. "Through the failure of presidential suffrage in Ohio and Indle.ra In the recent elections and In the decision of the Indiana Supreme C'rrt we have lost thirty-nine electoral votes. I be lieve, however, that each electoral vote In New York State is worth double those of Ohio 'nnd Indiana, because New York has always been considered a pivotal State. "Therefore tho New York victory has made us a still more Important political Issue than we were before, and I feel lhat both parties In Congress, looking forward to a presidential election four years hence, are going to play up to the woman vote." Mrs. Miller, wire Is tho Pennsylvania chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan committee, took her gloves off. metaphori cally speaking, when she got down to th subject of pettiness displayed by many women, engaged In war work. "I am sorry to say." she fayed them, "that In some Inst slices I have found women who have been placed lu charge of Impor tant committees which should be subsidiary . to the National Defense Council, feel that they are so Important that they can take commands from no ono except Wabhlngtoti.

In conclusion Mrs. Miller summarized briefly the great change that the war has made In the lives of hundreds of thousands of women, many of whom for the first lime In their lives am working outside their homes. , Following the President's speech, Mrs. Hobert Mills Peach, the treasurer, reported a balance on hand of $1910.73, with all ex penses paid until January 1. chief Interest this afternoon centered in the nomination of nflTS, who-e election will take place tnmonow.

RAILROAD WAGE-FIXING BOARD, WILSON'S PLAN Brotherhood Leaders Will Be Asked to Accept Arbitration Principle HOPE OF ALLIES NOW DEPENDS ON AMERICA Britain Waits Anxiously to See Our 1,000,000 Soldiers in Trenches SHIP PROBLEM IS ACUTE LONDON, Nov. 21. "nnglaud looks anxiously for the day when America's 'first million' men shall be In France, nnd when America's first 6,000, 000 tons of shipping shall sail the seas, bringing moro men, nioro munitions, more supplies In tho common cnuso agalnsi autocracy." The hope of an early realization of these plans, as expressed by Premier Lloyd George In his upeech opening tho Hrltlsh American war conference, was re-echoed throughout Unglanil today. It served again to emphasize the Ilrltlsh public's realization of the vast Impetus which America will glvo to the Allied war machine, and to tho Americans here, nt least, It also served as a reminder of the gigantic task to which the United States has set Itself. With Lloyd George's speech tho repre sentatives of, the two Government!! bent to work to speed up tho realization nf the Premier's hopes and aspirations. Foremost under discussion was tho Ilrltlsh plea for acceleration of America's concentration of lighting men at the front. From Lloyd Georgo's words It was evident L'ngland hopes for all speed In this mobilization "Like Hrltaln." tin- Premier said, "the rnlted States Is n pacific power and she, therefore, bus hud to build up a war organ ization from the start. In doing so she can learn from many mistakes which Hrltaln made. Two of tho most urgent matters to day aro man power at tho fronts and ship ping. "Tho collapse of Tlussla and the recent re verses of Italy make It even more imperii tlvo than before that the t'nltril States should send as many troops as pr.wvlblo across tho Atlantic as early as possible. 1 am anxious to know bow- soon the first mil lion men can lie expected lu Franco." Tho Premier detailed the Allies' needs In airplanes, food and supplies and reiterated tho necessity for closest co-operation In, tho war. LLOYD GEORGE'S CALL M AY HURRY TRANSPORTS WASHINGTON". Nov. SI. Prospect of shipment of much larger numbers of troops to Kurope loomed up today, following the call of Lloyd Georg' for every man the I'nlted States can land In France. Army officials said tho men are available, and that the only problem Is shipping. Naval authorities on both sides of the Atlantic, backed by Lloyd George's statement that tlvo submarines were sent down last Saturday and tho lower numbers of sinkings by them, hellcve tho submarine menace Is rapidly diminishing. Army men point out that if It Is true llie submarine has not to be reckoned with to the extent It has been, It will soon be posslblo to transport troops much more rapidly. At present caution makes it necessary for tho convoyed transports to proceed to Kurope at one-third the speed possible. If these ships can bo sent across faster soldiers now ready could bo placed In the trenches In a very short time. Falls 400 Feet to His Death SCHANTON, Pa., Nov 21.

A railroad wage adjustment board Is President Wilson's plan to solve the de mands of tho railway brotherhoods for wage Increises. Acceptance of this arbi tration principle by tho employes' leaders at tomorrow's White House conference could stave off the drastic action tho President will ask of Congress If all other plans fall to prevent a tie-up of war transportation. Tho wage-fixing boird, according to one of tho President's closest advisors today, will bo modeled after the shipyard and cantonment agreements between tho Ameri can Federation of Labor and the Govern ment. The decision of the board would be binding on both railroads and employes. The railroads have accepted this principle. If the brotherhoods also agree to it there can bo no nation-wide strike. Tho agreement would provide for adjustment of the dispute before an employe!.' walk-out could occur. fPHE rugged honesty of a business house stands out in their let ters when they're writ ten on Beck's Stability Bond.

GREECE REQUESTS WAR AID OF UNITED STATES Favorable Response Probable to Appeal to Meet Central Power Offensive WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Greece has appealed to the united States for substantial financial assistance with which to put tho Greek nrmy In con dition to withstand a combined offensive that the Allied nrmy heads believe. Germany. Turkey nnd ' Bulgaria Intend directing toward her. The appeal was made a few days ago to President Wilson, It Is understood, by Premier Venlz'los through Colonel K. M. House In London. Tho Information that the war plans of Germany. Bulgaria and Turkey call for n combined attack .n Greece and an attempt to dislodge the Allied forces from Salonlca had come to the Administration previously through military Information routes, The rnlted States Government will In all likelihood extend the new Greek Govern ment the financial aid It desires, which will permit Greece to purchaso tho virions war materials It needs In tho United States In the same manner that Krance, Ilussla nnd Great Britain have obtained loans to pay for their war purchases made here. The attack on Greece and the attempt to drle tho Allied forces from Salonlca Is understood to be as much u part of the Ger man Balkan campaign sis the Invasion of Ita'y. The Balkan campaign has for Its ultimate object tho entire control of the Adriatic Sea by Germany and the uniting of the proposed territories that German mlll tarv leaders Insist shall bo tho new and united German Kniplre. That President Wilson will favor extend ing libera! aid to Greece may be conceded after carefully reading his speech to the labor men at Buffa'n In which he made It plain that the Allies cannot afford to per mit German (ontrol In the Balkans. Greeco must be aided liberally If she Is to become a factor lu the Allies' defense against the Teuton Allies. While Greece has an army of about 200.000 for the batt o line and can muster ubout 100.000 reseriea for holding communications and'other uork back of the line, her supplies of war muni tions are very meagre and food Is very bcarcQ throughout Greece. Unless the Allies can extend nulck aid to Greece, it Is believed by military beads hero as almost certain tbn Teutons will overrun that territory without much opposition.
