THERE'LL BE NO WARS
WHEN WOMEN VOTE
[Continued From First Pann]
animated by the same protest, the
same sadness, that men should take
life so lightly, that civilization should,
after all these years of constructive
work, prove to be so thin a Aim over
barbarity.
"We feel an Imperative need for ex
pression at this time when the hor
rifying spectacle of a world engaged
in slaughter fairly unhinges reason."
said Miss Lillian D. Wald, the parade
chairman. "It may seem like a feeble
thing for us to come together to pa
rade against such a thing, but only
woman can strip war of its glamor, its
out-of-date heroisms, see in it a de
mon of destruction and hideous wrong,
murder enthroned.
"By our parade we shall be reaffirm
ing our belief In the righteousness of
peace and the practicability of arbi
tration. We shall be stretching our
hands across the water to the men
drafted Into service, to the mothers
and wives and children who are the
final victims."
It is believed that the women will
ask the President to call all neutral |
nations to unite in stopping the war.
They will issue a woman's proclama
tion that this war m~y well be the
death knell of Christian civilization. I
for if the nations of Europe bleed each
other to death the way will be open j
to the yellow peril,
oca I Women Quizzed With Unanimous
Result
Prominent women of this city to
day declared if they had a voice in the i
declaration of war there would be no
wars.
Mrs. Lyman Gilbert said: "If I had
a vote I would declare for peace al
ways. War is as Illogical as a street
fight. In this age all matters of dis
agreement should be arbitrated."
Miss Helen McFarland, who is at
Eaglesmere, said in response to the
long distance query: "Should women
have a voice in declaring for or
against war?" responded. "I read in
the paper this morning that with every
male person between the ages of 15
and 50 drafted Into the army, and
with food prices soaring away above
the heads of those even comfortably
situated, Austria-Hungary faces deso
llatlon, starvation and misery. Surely
there can be but little less suffering]
in other countries; even in our own
Central America. This winter cannot
help but be one of terrible hardship
for the mass of people who must bear
the full burden of the crisis in the
enormous increase "in the rost of the
actual necessities of life. With babies
already dying, cholera plague being
deliberately started to affect whom it
will—men, women and children —what
woman lives but would raise her
voice against war."
Mrs. Elizabeth liunkel said: "Be
cause the burdens of life fall upon wo
men they should have a voice in dec
laration of war. Devastation left by
war is felt most by women whose sup
port is taken away."
Mrs. Gilbert McCauley, regent of the
D. A. R.: "1 believe that it is only just
and right that women, who suffer so
much through war should have a voice
in the declaration of war. This could
only come through suffrage. I have
taken no definite stand on the latter
question, although I believe it Is com
ing. The voice of women would be
unanimously against war."
Mrs. Thomas M. Jones, regent of the
Daughters of 1812, said when the same
question was put to her: "War is a
matter that affects women vitally. At
a moment's notice their husbands,
brothers and sons are ordered from
home to kill—perhaps to be killed.
The money-earner is removed and on
women during wartime falls the bur
den of sustaining the home. They
must reap the harvests, till the soil,
keep the wolf from the door and also
pay taxes for prolonging the conflict
which they do not understand and
which they abhor—for It must be re
membered that the great mass of any
army is composed of men from the
working class. The women whose hus
band has been sent to the front must
do this work in addition to her own
—although her heart be breaking with
anguish. When peace comes even
tually. the women are either left wid
owed or with husbands weakened by
the awful hardships through which
they have passed. They are no long
er able to be the chief wage-producers
of the family. For an entire genera
tion their families must pay toll for
the war which they had no part in de
claring and no power to prevent. A
few months since one foreigner in
Steelton killed another. That was
called murder. Had the same man
killed his victim on Austrian soil dur
ing the last few days, it would have
been considered glorious—at least by
those whose ambitions have plunged
, three continents in bloodshed. Women,
however, the world over still call such
I deeds murder—and they decline to
I recognize any such thing as legalized
I murder. In every war that has ever
| been declared the chief sufferers after
I all are the women; therefore they
.should crtainly have a voice in saying
whether war shall or shall not be
I waged."
Mrs. Frank Rell, when interviewed,
expressed the belief that women
should have a voice in determining
whether or not war should be de
clared, which could only come through
the power of the ballot. The question
of war Is, she said, of course, not
referred directly to the people, but as
one of the reasons for war is prepara
tion for conflict, the vote of women
would be the most potent force in
promoting peace and the arbitration of
International disputes, because the
money in war i-hests the world over
would be spent in bettering living,
educational and moral conditions.
Dr. Maud Conycrs Kxloy save her
views of the question from the stand
point or the medical world hy saying:
"If any class of men he destroyed hy
any force they leave no offspring and
their line ceases, and the men who are
chosen for army service are above the
average of their fellows in physique
and fitness. The call is always to send
forth the best ye breed.' With the
strongest and healthiest on the battle
fields, a large number of unfit, for one
reason or another, are left to carry
on affairs and the human race. Those
who are left make history for the fu
ture; and alas in the machine warfare
of to-day it is not the fittest who will
survive, as in time of hand to hand
conflicts. A noted Frenchman has said
that it will take long periods of peace
and plenty before France can recover
th tall' Btatures bowed down in the
wars of the republic and the first em
pire. In Europe the military limit has
had to be lowered from time to time.
Illustrating the truth of what Benja
min Franklin said: 'Men do not pay
for war in wartime; the bill comes
later.' Women bear the men who
are destroyed, so that their relation
to war is more intimate than would
appear to an unthinking person. She,
more than man. knows the cost of hu
man life —for she pays the first price.
The bringing Into life of a human being
entails upon woman months of anxiety
and physical endurance. It Is easier
to destroy life tjian to create it and it
is natural that women should have
an Instructive antagonism toward the
reckless destruction of that which, at
so much cost, she has produced.
Unquestionably an agitation on this
question among Harrlsburg women
would result in but one verdict. "11

Big Business Scheme
For Trade Development
Washington, Aug. 15. A commit
tee of twelve, headed by Seth Low
of New York Chamber of Commerce
and representing the big banking and
business Interests, after a conference
with Government officials recommend
ed the-- following steps for the relief
of the present commercial emergency
in this country:
"1. That the Treasury Department
deposit funds in the leading financial
exporting centers to be exclusively
used for the facilitation of exports.
"2. The release of funds held in for
eign countries resulting from the sale
of shipments which have been diverted
from their original destinations or

taken up with the State Department.
"3. That the Federal Reserve Board I
take up the question of establishing an
international clearing house for the
selling of debts and credits of the na
tions.
"4. The establishment .of a Govern
ment bureau of war risk insurance to
be administered by a director and em
ployees, which shall assume the risks
of war on American vessels and on I
cargoes shipped or to tie shipped there
in whenever In the judgment of the
bureau it shall appear that the Ameri
can vessels or shippers are nibble in
any trade to secure adequate war risk
insurance on equal terms with vessels
of shippers of other nationalities by
reason of the protection afforded such
vessels or shippers by arrangements
for war indemnity throughout their
Governments.
"5. That there be taken up imme
diately by Congress such amendments
to the navigation laws of the United

Waterway Free and Open
to Nations of World
By Associated f'ress
Washington. D. C.. Aug. 18. With
the passage through the Panama Canal
to-day of the steamer Ancon, the great
waterway becomes "free and open to
the vessels of commerce and of war of
all nations on terms of entire equality,"
in accordance to the provisions of the
Ha.v-Pauncefote treaty.
Vessels drawing not more than thirty
feet of water may now make the pas
sage. It would be possible to put some
of the big American dreadnoughts
through at any time. Any of the for
eign warships now in the Atlantic and
Pacific waters could also make the trip,
but the naval plans of the European
Powers which have vessels oft both
coasts of the United States are not
known here.
No embarrassment will face the
I'nited states should one of the ves
sels of the belligerents seek passage.
Strict rules are laid down in the treaty
for the perpetual neutralization of the
canal and every detail will be under
the direction of Governor Goethals and
his staff. Except In cases of absolute
necessity, vessels of belligerents must
make uninterrupted passage through
the canal. They may not coal, revlctual
or disembark troops In the canal zone,
and these provisions also apply to the
terminal waters at both ends of the
canal within a limit of three miles.
Twenty-four hours is the limit of
time a belligerent vessel can remain
within the canal, except In case of dis
tress and a vessel of war of one bel
ligerent cannot depart within twenty
four hours from the departure of a ves
sel of war of another, belligerent. All
of the plant and establishments that are
part of the canal are immune from at
tack or injury by an belligerent. Vigi
lant American pilots will see that no
foreign vessels make observations of
the canal defenses.
The principal work remaining to he
done In completing the canal is the
deepening and widening of the channel
through Culebra cut as well as exca
vation operations at both approaches.
Argentina Acts to Open
Marts to U. S. Traders
Special lo The Telegraph
New York, Aug. 15.—The Argentine
government is eager to arrange a sys
tem of linancial exchange between that
country and the I'nited States so that,
| with the development of a mercantile
marine, there may he every facility fot
commerce between the two nations.
Manuel A. Molina, consul of the Ar
gentine Republic in New York, an
nounced yesterday that his government
had notith'd him that all United States
merchants desiring to purchase goodc
In Argentina could transmit money
through the Argentine Legation in
Washington.
American dealers can deposit gold
jand will receive in return a VOUChel
! which the Argentine government in
] Buenos A.vres will cash. It is the hope
of the Argentine officials that the
I'nited States government will author
ize the American Legation in Buenoi
Ayres to accept gold from Argentine
merchants and give vouchers which
can be cashed at the Treasury De
partment in Washington.
| The arrangement of an easy method
|of exchange is a desirable thing, be
: cause Argentine is a big importer and
I exporter, her international trade lasl
! year amounting lo almost $ 1 ,000,000,-
000. according to figures given out by
I the Argentine consul.
! Argentina for several years has been
lattracting foreign capital and foreign
traders, but Americans have not taken
a leading part In grasping the oppor
tunities offered. The republic's maize
crop is valued at more than $100,000,-
000; her wheat, almost $100,000,000;
her wool, about $60,000,000; frozen
beef. $35,000,000. She has many prod
ucts that this country can take in ex
change for manufactured goods.

ing the day. The money gathered
from these various economies will be ;
used to further suffrage campaigns,

Democrats Favoring
the Delay on War Tax
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.—Strong
opposition has developed among ,
Democrats in Congress to action at |
this time on a bill to raise additional I
revenues. They argue that whatever
the effect of the European war on j
American finances, the Treasury is in I
shape to keep things going until Con- j
gross reassembles in December.
) The administration contends that it',
will be unwise for Congress to adjourn :
I without providing means to raise
j emergency funds. The administration ,
' lead will be followed by Congress, but ,
Congress will act grudgingly, and j
Democratic members fear the new
revenue legislation will react on them i
at the polls next November.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT
The universal opinion that Sousa j
and his band form the most perfect
musical organization in existence is
! not the result of sudden impulse, but,
!on the contrary, has been reached j
' after years of active work which has j
i given the world many opportunities j
: for comparison with other celebrated i
I bodies. Sousa, more than any other j
i musician, typifies the American spirit,
j for he has carried his great asgrega- I
: tion of musicians to the four corners \
of the globe, with supreme confidence i
|in his resources. When Sousa and his j
I band appear here at Paxtang Park
on Tuesday, August 18, with Miss
Grace Hoffman, soprano, Miss Susan ]
j Tompkins, violinist, and Herbert L. |
j Clarke, cornetist, they will give the .
, same kind of performance that has;
i made the name of Sousa a household
