(The Sun, Baltimore, July 22.) ; Washington, July 21.?Hopes of the advocates of the Federal amendr i T . 7 '< rtient "for woman suffrage in the Senate will, in all probability, be realized or will die with the decision of Senator Christie Benet, of i South Carolina, who was appointed to fill the state vacant by Senator Benjamin R. Tillman. Senator Benet has /ot declared his position on the suffrage question, .and has been in several conferences with Presidnt Wilson, and the suffrage advocates are hopeful that the Federal amendment was the topic of these confernces. Senator Benet's vote for the amendment, it is declared, will give the Federal amendment its necessary two-thirds majority. His vote against it, it is asserted, will kill it if the ballot is taken as the Senate now stands. The South Carolinian holds two distinctions. He is the "baby" of the Senate, being only 39 .yefers old. I He is also the leading antagonist in South Carolina to Cole Blease and has led the many fights that South Carolina has waged to blot out Bleaseism. And in the past few am/1 Viifi onfi /Rlnoofl years DCllCb OUU 1110 U11 Ui-x/iVMiJV forces have been coming out on top. It was more on account of his reputation from one end of South Carolina to the other for fighting Bleaseism that Governor Manning picked him to take the place of Tillman and occupy the seat once held by the brilliant Hampton. Known To aBltimoseana. Senatoe Benet is known to many Baltimore people through his brother. Hugh Benet, one of the righthand men of" Bartlett-Hayward Compa?iy, the big munition manufacturers. Hugh Benet is an engineer.He is al*j *hell expert and is only j 25 years old. When this country en* terii the ;war Hugh Benet started to en'ist, but was prevailed upon' by , the Bartlett-Hayward people to , remain in his present job, where; lie was told he could be of vastly more service to his country than being,one in a trillion units in Prance. - The Bartlett^Hayward people later had , the War Department to exempt Mr. . Benet from the draft on account of . his skill as an engineer and shell . expert. Another brother, Dr. George j Benet, of Boston, is now in Europe ( with the American Medical Corps. , Senator Benet's enlistment as a . soldier was only blocked by Gover. nor Manning's appointment of him as the successor of Tillman. He had come to Washington, preparing to . enlist in the tank service when he > received word that he had been nam ed to the Senate. When his appoint> mnt was announced, the leading edi torial writer of South Carolina referred to him as possessing "a soldier's heart." Thorn In Bleue'i Side. 1 Senator Benet, young as he is, has been the thorn in the flesh of : Cole Blease. He had charge of the first campaign against Blease tor /?/v?rawnAi* OVt/4 Irtof if Utlf Tlftt ' gUT^lllVl C?<iu 4V0V *vy IJMV Vk.v. t give up. He took charge of Gov. Manning's first campaign and won , it. He against directed the fight against Blease two years ago and beat him out. The young South I Carolinian is now on the firing lirie, j working day and night to keep Cole Bleaae out of the United States Senate. } Senator Benet is a candidate for j the short term. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, a brilliant South Carolina lawyer, is the candidate for the long I term, upon whom the anti-Blease forces have concentrated since death I removed Senator Tillman from the j race. Under the South Carolina law ! a Governor can only appoint a Senary tor for a period of six months, and , J Senator Benet's term expires two j months before March 4 next. The ! primary and election are to name a man for this two months. Former ' Attorney-General Peeples is oppos^ ing Senator Benet. | ' ( Senator Benet springs from a [ I prominent South Carolina family. i His father was Judge W. C. Benet i and he was a grandson of General McGowan. He has always stood for clean politics in his State, and has a large following. He stands over six feet tall, is strikingly handsome and is one of the most noted athletes of the University of Virginia. He is |I Hill?III III 11 MAI I,' / . ( j '* ' V |wn i + V < 1 Are sti! A .

THE BOTTOM OF SEA I 1 Discovered by Airplane and Held in ' Place by Trawler* Until Ezploa( ion* Destroy Craft Without | Trace. ' 1 c 1 ' London, July 30.?A sea port , ' which has arisen out of the war? ( hunting German submarines by airship?is described in The Times. The ^ writer's story concludes with telling ^ how the crew of the U-boat appar- c ently preferred death to being captured. One of the crew of an airship spotted a submarine lying on the Ka4 i\f tVio nnonn in -fnirlv cViallrtW water. "The wireless sparked," reads the ^ account in The Times, "and soon j away on the horizon there appeared a little destroyer, followed far astern ,by four squat trawlers, all racing * toward the spot above which the airship cruised around. "The destroyer came up first, of . course, and it was not long before, i guided by wireless instructions, her guns were trained in readiness to ' greet the unsuspecting U-boat should it bob to the surface. It seemed ' ages to the impatient. crew before i the trawlers arrived, but things mov- I j ed rapidly once they were at the J scene of action, for they knew their l job of old. I "Working in pairs they approachi ed their victim from opposing direc tions, steaming toward each other. ' Between, each pair a strong "sweep" i :! was Stretched an dalloWed to hang ? in a huge loop that it might traverse t j the seabed.

Then thos n the airship flagged a signal an lpon the two trawlers two firin ceys were pressed.
