j' . INSURGENT movi:munt.
An insurgent movement was sianen
by Morris K. Slegel, of Now York city,
who fought valiantly but almost nlone.
He .held his placo as best ho could In
tho forensic trenches, but was severely
wounded when Ir. Chceseman A. Her
rlclc, president of Glrard College, who
Iras' presiding said: "I tako It, Mr. Slegel
you are speaking In favor of a motion
that was not seconded." Nevertheless,
Slegel, having bound up his wound, re
turned to tho fray and fired a parting
shot, directing attention to tho fact that
the society waa not supporting Itself
'and ought to do so.
When tho society went about the
'business of reorganizing Itself, It learned
to sympathize.' with tho fabled tiger, who
encounters such Insuperable difficulties
when It undertakes tho cpcratlon of
cnanging us spots. Tito society met with
many difficulties, and for morn than nn
hour every move made to simplify tho
puliation simply Increased Its complica
tions. Good luck more than anything
else was responsible fnr the safe Issun
out of all the organization's trials and
'tribulations.
Tho eplsodo of Columbia University
came, about after tho long strugglo with
the problem of reorganization. Just
'when everybody had about lost hope and
had become resigned to seeing the so
ciety's ship smashed and battered to
Jileces on the cruel and treacherous rocks
rof parliamentary procedure,- land had
been sighted and -the society had pro
ceeded speedily to the adoption of the
nominating committee's choices for pres
ident, vice' president and treasurer.
These were, respectively. V)r.
Pavid
Snedden. William L. l.yall, treasurer of
the Brighton Mills, of passalr. N". J., and
Frederlo B. Pratt, of the Pralt Instl-
tute, New York City.

Even before Doctor Hcrrlck, retiring
president of the society, who was pre
5dlng at tho time, could nnnounco tho

Allied Printing Trades Council of New
York State, nnd chairman of the eduea-
tlon commltteo of tho New York Stato
j-cueraii&n oi uiDor. jumped to inn feet
In the rear-,of the room, stretched out
.illls arm toward tho chalrmun and
ehouted wllh much fire in his tone:
'"t wish to go on record as being un -
alterably opposed to the election of any
representative of Columbia College to
cfflco In this society."
brady sat Iovvn as quickly as ho
had got up. He showed hla possession
or the dramatic instinct by concentrat
ing Ills strength In one quick, hard blow.
Another man would have weakened tho
effect by going on.
The minute Brady sat down Dr. F.
II. Owen, of one of the Chicago normal
training schools, Jumped up and
y Dtretelied his arm toward tho chairman.
"I want to request specially that that
remark bo placed In tho minutes of
this meeting. Any man who would sav
a thing like that should be Impaled on
the record !"
"You can put mo In Jail If you're big
f. enough." shouted Brady. Jumplns to his
V" .feet again.
In a corridor Interview Mr. Brady
explained his opposition.

City Faces Bread
Cards in 60 Days
Continued from Puce One
order to do so, Mr. Cooku announced.
TJils was not known until today. Mr.
Cooke did not know whether local mill
ers had received tho order, but said that
If not It Mas on the way.
This order was Issued to leach the
situation nt the source, it It Is ifot
successful tho wheat must bo obtained
soniehoiv, and tho only alternative Is
the commandeering of tho Invisible sup
ply now In tho homes of the country, he
pointed out. I
Following the commandeering of this
supply, there will bo several months
before thu new wheat crop Is available,
and wheat, or bread cards, will he neces
sary for Philadelphia and the rest of
the country, was added In explanation.
These card would bo a last resort,
howover. and tho liopo was expressed
that such drastic measures would not
bo necessary through the strict appli
cation of the conservation measures ad
vocated by the administration,
"Wo do- not want to havo to go Into
the homo. It seems Inadvisable to del
ugo the retailer with wheat flour he
cannot handle by ordering every one lo
return all wheat Hour lo their ucaler
Things have reached a seilous pass,
, however, and some lemedy has become
' h military necesslt.v," he said. "Our
I own soldiers In Franco must lie fed.
Alsu our allies must no leu ir iney nre
to continue In the war. For some rea
sou, the full seriousness of tho situation
has not been made clear to our citizens.
It Is now tlmo they knew exactly how
things Btand."
Well moro than 200.000 pounds of
wheat flour have been jiglstored by
householders In thh city, with u supply
... r i.i.i. .-.-,.. ,..,,. ,,i,, .,,
t1P )iom administration aniiouticod to
' dirv.. This flour has been reported by
iipproxlmatcly ir.00 people. Tho returns
are ntlil puiiring In to such an extent
that it has been necessary to employ
two women, expert In tabulating ic-
turns, to handle tho reports.
If strict conservation measures are
not adopted at onro by every ono In this
city and In tho United States, It will be
nccesiury to mobilize tho home supply
for the use of the nation by redistribut
ing II, Mr. Cooke said In his statement.
Tho conservitlon program has been
fairly tticcissful to date, he s.ild, but
further riforts must be made. In many
reports f i out dealera it was shown that
ill- saving effected by the -fifty-fifty or-
di-r had usulted in cutting down tho sale
of wheat flout 00 per cent. In some
caws the fal'lng oil has reached 75 per
ICCIIl, III- tlllllUUIIll-U.
All housewives are urged to uso po-
tatocH- i11"1 wheat substitutes, or fact
lIl consequences. By tho use of oatmca
i
for breakfast, corn or other cereal for
tho midday meal, and hominy for sup
per, tho use of wheat flour can bo en
tirely supplanted, the administrator
pointed out. By tlio uso of theso and
other cereal J tho sario food value as
contained in bread can be had. Their
uso will prevent the necessity for ra
tion card?, and tho causo of America
will be served us It could be In no other
manner.
It Is intimated that the ban on the
sale of wheat Hour to any one other
than the Government will remain In
force to thn millers for sixty days. Be
fore the expiration of this tlmo tho sup
ply tho dealers now have on hand will
bo entliely exhausted, tho food olllclals
say.
In Hie face of this s'tuatlon Mr. Cooko
sends forth a last call to the house
wives of tho city to fall In lino with the
Government In tho prosecution of war
agaliiHt tho Hun. .The liousevvifo can do
mure than her share by saving tlio nec
essary foods for her son, relative or
friends In France, or about to leave for
France, In tho light for liberty.
RATHER GERMANY THAN
AUTOCRATIC DEMOCRACY
Impatlenco with thoso who advocato n
blind policy of noncTlticIsm of the Gov
ernment, In time of war was the keynote
of tho speech delivered ut the Wash
ington's Birthday celebration of the Pa
triotic Order Sons of America by Wil
liam J. Heaps, of Baltimore, tho national
president of the order. The meeting was
held In the Academy of Music nnd at
tracted a large audience.
The speaker -declared that ho stood
with the President In the war, but that
he "vvpuld rather bow to an autocratic
Germany than to an autocratic democ
racy that bound his hands and sealed
his lips."
Senator Hiram Johnson, of California,
was expected to deliver an address, but
failed to appear. Congressman Thomas
S. Crago. representatlvo-at-large from
Pennsylvania' and a member of the.
Military Affairs Committee of tho House;
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder,
Gabriel II. Meyer, State president of the
order, and Charles B. Helms, .State
Secretary, were other speakers.

lefers to tho crossing of tho Plavo

become almost a nightly one, since It Is
tho only means of keeping In touch with
tho enemy, who himself shows no com

on desultory warfaro of artillery. A ,
dozen or so channels which the Plave
splits thereabouts, vary In depth and
length. The place is found passable
one night, but not the next, new cross-
ings nlvvays being sought. Frequently1
six or seven streams will be crossed '

Is found Impassable.
Suffragists of City
Eager for Big Drivel
Cnntliiiird from face One
slnnal chairman for Pennsylvania, said
that Senators Penroso and Knox were
being bombarded with thousands, even ,
tuns, of letters and telegrams. Ulglng
them not to oppose the passage of the
Federal sulfrace amendment through
thn Senate when It comes up next Thurs-
dav. '
Mrs. Catt said she hoped and expected
the Federal woman's suffrago amend
ment would go through the Senate. She
also F.ild that It undoubtedly would not
bo mado a matter of debato and that no
vote had ever been changed In the Sen
ato anyhow as tho result of a debate.
Mrs. Catt said Senators Knox and
Penroso had declared that tho turn
down of tho suffrago amendment In
1915 by this Stato should bo sufficient
answer to tho question as to whetheV y
the people wanted suffrage. But Mrs.
Catt thinks tho reason u very aged ono ,
now nnd that tho esteemed Senators
failed to note the advanced thought I
since that now-distant date. i
Prominent suffragists from all parts ,
of the I'nlted States are attending the
convention. '
The progress made by woman suffrage
(luting the last year was reviewed by '
speakers who havo advanced tho cause, I
and the outlook for the movement will i
be discussed by thoso who tako a pronil-'
pent part in shaping tlio course of
vv cman suffrage generally. i
Tho year's work in providing enter-'
talnment for tho enlisted men of tho
army anu navy ui tuo locat suiirano

Joseph Gazzam, who said that through
tills work "tho 'vvrcclt had been tanen
out of 'reel cation'." Mrs. Nevada M.
Lllultchcock pleaded for the greater con
servation of flour, fats nnd sugar by
housewives as a help to winning tho
war.

cussed by Mrs, William West, of tho

and others. I
Mrs. George A, Dunning reported that. '
although the suffrago members had .
heard at the declaration of war that
their members should drop suffrage ,
work in favor of war worK, Philadel
phia members had managed to do ns
much war work, ns well as their suf
frage duties, as If they had dropped

There Is some speculation as to where
tho "wet"' clement of the State Democ
racy will ultimately land. Many of them
dcclaro they will not vote for a candi
date pledged to prohibition and that
they will support any Republican under
K'jcli conditions.
There will bo probably a hundred or
moro active Democrats at today's con
ference, wheji a complete ticket to bo
supported nt tho primaries may be
agreed upon.
National Committeeman Palmer said
that tho Issuo In tho coming campaign
In Pennsylvania will bo "tho conduct of
tho war."
"Senator Penrose." said Mr. Palmer,
"has criticized the National Administra
tion upon Its policies and Its leadership
In the light against tho enemies of tho
country. Wo stand by tho President
nnd aro ready to havo tho voters of
Pennsylvania pass upon this question at
tho coming election.
"The Democratic slogan will be
'Stand by the President,' and we aro
prepared to receive tho verdict of tho
pcoplo upon that proposition."
Mr. Talmer said:
"Tho Democrats will carry tho Slate
In this coming Stato election. First, be.
cause they aro entitled to It. and sec
ond, because Senator Penroso lias made
the nationnl Administration tho Issue,
In short, the conduct ot the war has
been made the Issue nnd wo democrats
itand by the Administration.
"Senator Penroso Is trying to mnko
partisan politics out of the war. Ho
has made partisan politics u featuro of
hla speeches In tho United States Sen
tto. Ho gave out an Interview along
tho same line at St. Iouls when he at
tended the meeting of tho republican
Vatlonal Committee. Ho has ripped
tho Administration up tho back and wo
will see what thn people of this State
think about It. Candidates In this case
don't mean as much as they might; the'
great thing Is tho country against par
tisan politics. When the cnui'rv Is right,
ii it is today, then tho right party, the
Democratic party, can ehct its choice.
We do not need to depend on personal
popularity; wo depend on tho peoplo
