ANIFACTR1111 tS Charleston - - South Carolina X \ ii Pu'g MPIH UNDE. FIRE OF SUFFS Women Work to Secure Needed Vote. Byrnes Making Effort for Soldiers' Homes. Washington, Feb. 22.-Determined Ahat tie woman suffrage amendment o the constitution shall be favorably xoted upon before congress adjourns )n March fourth and lacking ;but one vote to secure It, suffrage leaders to lay turned their batteries on Senator Smith, of South Carolina, Trenimell of Florida, and Shields of Tennessee, be ieving that from these three senators the necessary vote might be secured. Senator Smith is being besieged with every possible reason today to change lIis former votes ol this matter and lineup with votes for women delega tions calling upon him and demanding that he change his vote. 'So far 'he shows no signs of acquiescing and the lealers say that the three senators named may be staged during the pres ent week and made the center of at traction of suffrage headquarters un til the session ends unless they suc coed. It is quite likely that something aitdn to tactics enplooyed here two weeks ago iwhen an attempt to 'burn President Wilson in efilgy was made inay be brought into play. Although the South 'Carolina legis lature has petitioned the members of conigreiS3 from this State to do their utmost to secure the passage of 'the Byrnes bill appropriatin-g $100,000,000 to provide homes for returning sol diers, there is but a scant chance that favoraible action will be taken on the measure, tle house commit tee on anp rriailt ions haiving turned the inatter own. Ilowever, Secretary Lane made an earnest request of the house today to bring a special rule for its consid LIItIion in order that available lands may be had at this t ime for the sol iers. If a rule is brought in, it will tIien he sqIuarely up )to the house to take hold of the matter but with an Infa voraIle Iep)rit from the appropria ion1s coinmf1ittee, the outlook even in tle eve'nt of a speclal rule -would not be good for its passage. It is Ino)t unllilely, however, that. Alr. 11yrnes inay get this rule in and have i brought to a vote so that tre house vill be on reordI as to tile attitiude of ar110iio etinbrs. It is recogiized that f (Ile Dlemocrats slipport it. and the Republicans act t.o the contrary, tie uestion may come to the front ns a ital campaign issue two years hence.

Would Jtequire Wilson to Consult the Senate. Wauhington, 14b. 21.-Criticisinig lie league of nations as "the most radical departure" from President Washington's policies and as spelling bite end of the Monroe doctrine, Senat 3r Borah, of Idaho, Republican mem ber of the Foreign Relations Commit tee, declared today in the Senate that before the plan was adopted the Amer ican people sh8uld be allowed to give [t verdict on it. - The Idaho senator, who recently dc clined President Wilson's invitation to a White lous conference next Wed niesday to discuss the league constitu Lion, insisted that the .United States should steadfastly cling to the Amer icanism as established -by the fathers and as recently defined by former President Roosevelt, and in the course of his address he charged former President Taft with making mislead ig rtatemcnts about the effect of the league's plan on American polices. When Senator Borah concluded, af ter speaking about an hour, an unusu a demonstration occurred. While the crowded gallerics applauded, sena tors aid visiting representatives crowded around the senator, seeking ,o (ongratulate him. Among the sen ators wcre several diemocrats, includ ilg Thomn of Colorada, Gort - 'kIa ioia, Sith of Georgia, and Varda inan of Mlirsissipppi. The (Icionstra iion continue(d for five minutes, while senate business was completely sus pended. Before Mr. Borah spoke, Senatol Shernman, of Illinois, republican, intro ilidciel a resolution which went over for future discussion, piroposing that the sentate Would be "uniise, undiplo matic pot to discuss the league until Ifter lie confers with the Senate, the co-ordinate treaty making branch, and Lo "preserve an im)artial, unbiased 11in1(" oi sulject. The resolutlion, which Seniator Sheiian plans to discuss soon, recites that coinent on the league by the President before lie con rers with tho senate would be "'un wise", uinliiiioipatie, aid calcuilated to proimiote discord" with the co-ordinItc body. Toniorrow the attack oii the league in the senate is to be continued with Seniato RIee( of Misouri, Democrat, speaking.
