TWO WILSON SAYS NO TO SUFFRAGISTS President Refuses to Support Amendment to Constitution on This Subject BUSY DAY FOR HIM IN NEW YORK CITY Has Many Engagements Preceding His Address in Evening at City. Now York, Jan. 127.?President Wilson refused to-day to support the movement to the Constitution providing for woman suffrage. He spoke briefly to two hundred members of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, and told them that he felt the suffrage question should he dealt with by each individual State. The President received the suffagists after they had waited for him, for more than an hour at a hotel. I iff it" \ve"9 made by Mrs. Mary I 1\ : , \.-;f of a Columbia University f or, to cross-examine the Preside : ? n his position met with failure. I to refused courteously to reply to her quest i ms. The President apologized t > the women for not seeing them earlier, but to''1 them ho ho i been at work since arriving in Nc.v York. He added that) it "may be that my mind works slow-J ly, but I have always thought that [ here wore things that should bo built rlo.vly, and, therefore, made more last, ing. I may be a little old fashioned in my view that the suffrage question j should be handled by the State." The President admitted that lie had promised o discuss with the leaders of Congrss the question of sucraerc.! hut that other matters had come up which, he thought, should take preference. "There are things that cannot wait,'! said the President. "Action in great' constitutional matters must be deliberate." Mr. Wilson promised again that he would discuss the subject with the members of Congress as soon as possible. He declared, however, that he I was still convinced that the suffrage issue should be worked out by the! States. He added that he saw no reason for the women to be discouraged by the progress being made. The President arrived here at 6 A. M. He was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, his secretary, Joseph Tumulty, _ .1 T\? n m n rr? uuu ur. *uuvy i. urayson. i no party remained on board the train until 8 A.

Several bombs were dropped by the Zeppelins which flew over the outskirts of Paris last week but they produced no such deadly effect as on the oenssion of the raid of Satuyday night before. A raid by six of seven Zeppelin air ships took place last week aver the i eastern,northeastern and midland' counties of England, according to an announcement of the war ofiicc.

London.?Experts and self-styled experts on the economies of war, and the law of maritime wi\r on commerce, mobilized in the House of Commons for the eagerly awaited debate on the measures to be taken for a blockade against Germany. Critics of the government's policy and its defenders were equally insistent on the necessity of enforcing a "blofkhulo as eifective as possible" but < they joined issu^ on the best ircthcjit* of enforci this, n keen desire beinj? shown in *5ome quarters P> 1 nr< 1;<? tV J interference with neutral commerclfiMB The demand was geric ral, however, I for groat strirgc uoy in the prevention of (Tods uffs and other conditional contraband pas ing by neutral countries into Germany. / The '.(bate hinged on a motion in- , trodueed with the bbjoet of obtaining from the government a full statement of the facts and giving opportunity to deal with most of the aspects of tuo recent complaints against the foreign office. The motion follows: "That this house having noted the volume of imports i nto neutral countries bordering on enemy territory of goods essential to the enemy for the prosecution to enforce as effective a blockade as possible without interfering with tiie normal requirements of those neu'ral countries for Internal consign ption." The debate in the house is attracting widespread attention, being expected to bring to culmination the bitter controversy which has been going on in the press relative to the strengthening of the measures taken to-jjj> strict Germany's foreign trade. Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, is expected to submit a statement, but thus far it has not been indicated whether the government purposes to continue to act under the present orders in council or to substitute an effective blockade. Some indication's of the government's probable attitude, however, Ts given by the official figures issued to controvert assertions of certain newspapers that huge quantities of supplies are reaching Germany through neutral countries. The impression prevails that the government considers the present custom reasonably satisfactory. o A g HORRY COUNTY g 1 TRUST COMPANY ? I [?j L. D. Magrath .M ij S g Manager. rjj j m Real Estate j?
