Dominion Suffrage
Leader Denounces
Militant Pickets
Mrs. Ralph Smith, of Brit?
ish Columbia Parliament,
Expresses Views
Condemnation of the militant tac- ?
*jCJ at the suffrage pickets as an j
"obstruction of the war and woman I
suffrage both" was voiced yesterday :
?v Mrs. Ralph Smith, of Vancouver,
the only woman member of the Pro?
vincial Parliament of British Colum?
bia who hus just arrived in New
York, i
"Women's heart? all over the world
?re beinp torn by this war," said Mrs.
Smith, "and their sisters should be
giving unqualified devotion and en?
ergy and making every sacrifice for j
the winfting of the war. Without this
service suffrage means very little to ,
us. It is not worth having if it mili- !
l^tes m the slightest degree against |
A Yictoruni;- und giorioua peace, and !
as speedy a peace ^s is possible.
"Canadian women, who have gone |

women as a whole have responded

Mrs. Smith made ;? plea for elimi
nation of the "imaginarj liue" be?
rreen Canada and the United ?States. :
"The womanhood of the two coun
tries is being ivelded indestructibly ;
together by the war." she said, "and
.1 beg American women to forget that ^
there is any boundary, any diff?rence !
between u . W e are on our knee.i to
America row. We think your achieve?
ment? since your entry into the war

Mrs. Smith is tin first woman office?
holder in Brit ?' Co'umbia Sh? was
elected last January as an indepen?
dent one year after women had been
grunted the vote in that province
ano- went into otfice in F il ruary. She :
is the sponsor of the minimum wage
bill for women recently passed by the
Parliam nt
Mrs. Smith has been a splendid rep
resentative of the women of her !
province, if the word of Provincial
Treasurer John Harte carries any
?weight.
"She's made a great hit." said Mr. :
Harte. "She doesn't get up on the
floor often, but when she does she !
says something, and the forty-seven I
men up there in our Parliament a'- :
yt&ys give her their best ear."
?
Bachelors' Stronghold
h Invaded by Women
There'.- nothing to it; men haven't a
ghost of a chanc any more. The last
male sanctum lias been invaded; the
Hotel Allerton, at Lexington Avenue
and Thirty-eighth Street, long the re?
treat of home-loving bachelors, has
fallen into the hands of the invaders.
The bachelors have been notified to pack
their pipes and slippers and move on
and make room for the hosts of women
who have fastened their clutches on the
house.
The purchase of the Allerton by the '
Young Women's Christian Association
for a woman's hotel worked particular
tragedy in the tranquil lives of the
Allertonians because they had been led
to believe that their quarters were to
'? .? .': and that their group was.
to be ei larged.
As for tl e women, the Y. W. C. A. is
planning its new hotel for se'.f-iiupport
uig women who, on account of small
salaries are now living in discomfort
in hall bedrooms and cheap boarding
houses. The house is not designed pri?
marily for young girls, but rather for
older women who are thrown upon .
their own resources.

stration Opposite White
Kuuse Is Permitted
;:. Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.?-Permis
sie*i to hold ;. suffrage moeting and
demonstration to-morrow in Lafayette
Square, opposite the White House, was
given, to'-the National Woman's party
to-day by the Army Engineer's office.
This grant is believed to mark the
end of the contest between the pickets
and the Washington police, who have
arrested many of the demonstrators in
the past month for their protests
against the Senate's delay in acting
on the suffrage amendment. All
women held prisoners for failure to
pay fines after recent picketing were
released last night without completing
their terms.
Commenting on the permit issued for |
Lafayette So.uare demonstration Miss:
A.ice Paul, chairman of the National
Woman's party, said:
"Tiiis complete capitulation on the '
part of the government shows that i
they recognize it is impossible to i
silence the protests of American j
women against their present dis
franchisement. There is only one i
thing that will silence us. the passage ;
of the Federal suffrage amendment.
"We will hold our next demonstra- !
? on us ,-uon ;.s the women ?'erased !
from ja:! have sufficiently recovered;
to take part in it."

Canadian Official
Praises New York's
Woman Land Army
Solicitor General Guthrie
Says Organization Is Bet?
ter Than Dominion's
(.Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
ALBANY, Aug. 21.?Hugh Guthrie,
' Solicitor General of Canada, loid the
upstute Woman's Land Army conter
ence, which closed here to-day, tha. the
war will end with victory for the Al?
lies when the American army of 4,000,
; 000 is in the field, and that every
ounce of food which the women of
' this state and nation can raise will
bring those figh.ing millions nearer
i to the goal of a victorious peace.
Mr. Guthrie was so pleased with thte
effectiveness of the Woman's L;\nd
Army organization in this s'.a.e
that he declared that when he re.arns
to Canada he will endeavor to
have the (.'anadian women follow out
- the New York plan. He warmly con
! gratulated the women on the j/rogres.s
I they have made, saying that t,heir or
i ganization is a great improvement
i over that of the Canadian wi men. He
; told the women of the revivifying ef?
fect to the Allies of America's en
? trance into the war and expressed his
: appreciation of the part they were
. taking in aiding the nation's war pro
gramme. Mr, Guthrie declared that
' Canada and the United Slates have
admired each other for yiaars, but since
I they have been fightinrr together for
democracy the boundary line between
them has completely disappeared.
An appeal for 1,000,000 supporting
members was ma<le by Mrs. Thomas F.
: Burgess, chairman of the New York
State Land Army
Dean Ida Ogilvie of the Bedford
Woman's Land Arm;. Camp, one of
the pioneers of the land army move?
ment, baid that one of the problems
first confronted was Ihe inability of
the farmers to provide for the housing
and subsistence of the women workers.
She said it was at. this point that Mrs.
Charles Short, of England, came to
them with the plan which provided
that there should he centres when:
the women could be housed and board?
ed. She ?lid it was this suggestion
t>.a'v formed the foundation of the
Woman's Land Army. She believes
that the plan of having a centrai
camp, with branch camps near :he
places of employment, will prove most
effective in meeting the farm labor
shortage.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
This is the ninth week of the Fresh
Air season. When this week is past
'here will be but two more in which
to give the children of the poor the
country vacations they need before
the school bell rings for the beginning
of the fall term.
At the beginning of the summer,
when the children rushed from the
schoolrooms of the city to The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund recruiting stations to
enlist for country fortnights, the Fund
was doubtful just how extensive a
campaign it would find it possible to
wage. A great campaign had been
planned, but H)18 was the first year in
which the Fund had been compelled tu
meet real war conditions.
It. was impossible to foretell how a
public engrossed in the fortunes of
. rimes in Europe would respond to the
< ppeal for the sinews of that war which
'I he Tribune Fund wages against ill
health and suffering among the chil?
dren of the tenements. Yet without
those sinews of war the campaign could
not be carried through.
For the Fund to wait until it was
certain what measure of support was
to be granted it, however, would have
meant the abandonment of the work
for the summer. The campaign has to
be entered upon 'ach year in faith;
half the expensen of the work must be
incurred before one-quarter of the
money with which to meet them has
been received.
It. was determined therefore to set
about the business of relieving the Buf?
ferings of the children as though the
year preset,ted no extraordinary con?
ditions and to continue sending chil
?Ircn to the country as rapidly and in
as large numbers a:> possible until the
public should prove definitely that it
was going to withhold its hand this
>ear.
At the beginning of the season the
public put its stamp of approval
upon thi:i plan. Contributions to The
Tribune Fund came in generously -as
generously as they had eVi*r come in
normal year?. And during the month
ef July and up to the tOlh of August
this continued to be the situation
Money to meet the bills for the out
IpgM of tin- children was provided as it
was needed Hut ?bout the tenth of
the present month ? possibly because
people betfari to feel Ihn!, the end of
?he ?umrner wai* in ???hi. the daily list ?
of contrit u'ors to the fund began to
brink. .Since that time bhtt fund has
bud to continu* it? wo*k pnxlly uu
_^ ___1 ^ __ '
i faith, in the hope that before it was
! too late the lovers of children "would
: come to the rescue of their little pro?
teges.
Possibly it was foolish to continue
the work on this basis, but The Tribune
Fund felt, and still feels, that the pub?
lic did not want the work halted until
every duy that could be used for the
Bending away of children had been
used. The days that remain are few in
1'tmber, but the number of children
who are waiting to be sent to the
country is great -and they have been
waiting all summer.
Now, however, the day has come for
a decision as to whether the work is to
go farther this season or stop sbort
with its present accomplishment. Dur?
ing the week beginning to-day the fund
can send to glorious vacations 1,000
boys arid girls. But it cannot do it?
reust refuse to attempt to do it. not?
withstanding the heartrending appeals
that are being made?unless at least.
$.000 is made available at once.
Six thousand dollars means 1,000
happy, healthy boys and girls; the lack
of it means bitter disappointment and.
possibly, failing health for the one
thousand.
Which shall it be?

" Yip ! Yip ! Yaphank "
Sweeps On to Success
at Century
By Heywood Broun
When the draft cuts off e cross sec
| t;on of ? America it apparently finds
| among its assembled soldiers a song
i writer, a juggler, half a dozen acrobats,
i a toe dancor, a first violin, three trom
; bone players, a trick bicycle rider, a
; lightweight boxing champion and a few
tenors. Modern civilization is ever so
complex, but we did not realize that
fact fully until we saw "Yip! Yip!
Yaphank" at the Century Theatre yes
te.vday. It is easily the best of all the
? oldier shows.
Moreover, the Upton men have set a
model for other producers than sol?
diers. We do not say this because
V,p! .YiP! Yaphank!" is played to a
rollicking pace with a definite profes?
sional touch. It. is rather in spirit than
in form that it should show the way to
all musical comedy makers during the
course of this war. If anybody on this
side of the water is to swank and make
long laces at Germany from a longer
distance the right belongs to the man
in uniiorm who is presently going over
to light. Almost invariably the man in
uniiorm refuses his swaggering privi
lege. \o musical show seen this year
has leaned .so lightly on the war spirit
of the audience as "Yip! Yip! Yap?
hank." It has i,oi capitalized patriot
is n. for entertainment purposes.
Much of the show deals with the life
of the soldier, but it contents itself
with an intimate and .humorous view of
that life. It is not afraid to laugh at
serg< ints and second lieutenants and
other vertebra} of the army. Even the
draft is touched upon a; a human insti?
tution not above the scope of genial
observation. And the net result is that
the show is inspiring us well us enter?
tain;!, r The American doughboy is
presented in the most attractive light
as a man who has taken to soldiering
a a means to an end, as a man who
does nol think ))?? must be gium, even
about the most important things.
Humor ?3 one oi the brightest lights
in the world. It is needed in war time
more than ever befo.re. Many times
:t. animates the leap which goes right
to the heart oi a problem. Don Mar
ijuis, for instanc-..'. could do more for
the Committee on Public Information
i bar, George Creel because he inter?
prets life humorously and therefore
goes deeper t! an tiie man who ?ooks at.
it literally. There are forms of sedi
tio.n which a humorist can scotch, more
quickly and effectively than a propa?
gandist or a policeman.
"Yip! Yip! Yaphank" i? excellent in
substance as well as spirit. It con?
tains tw'o gorgeous melodies of Irving
Berlin. One ?3 tne already popular
"How I Hate to Get Up in the Morn?
ing" and the other a syncopated tune
called "Ragtime Razor t?rigade." The
opening chorus, "lieiio. Heno. Hello!"
is another which trips along entic?
ingly.
'-. he show contains everything, but
not too much of it. And if there were
no othei reason for going to "Yip!
ifip! Yaphank!" the spectator would oe
rewarded by having an opportunity of
hear rig what real applause sounds
like. The house \*as crowded to the
last row of the gallerv at yesterday's
matinee ,iud for the first time in New
York wo hoard applause that actually
put all the back muscles into play. It;
is something it is a good dea!, to rouse
so many Americans to enthusiasm for
a play by and about the draf-.ed men.
Irving Berlin deserves a citation from
every dramatic critic in New York.

Lewis and Becker
Open Campaign
Here in 6th District
'Fight Made on German
Propaganda Is Cited
by Candidate
Attorney General Merton E. Lewis,
Governor Whitman's opponent in the
primaries, and Deputy Attorney Gen?
eral Alfred L. Becker, the anti-Whit?
man candidate for the Republican
I nomination of Attorney General, made
their first speeches of the campaign
j last night. They spoke before the
: Federal Republican Club, 44 Avenue C.
This club is tne regular organization
[ of the 6th Assembly District. Samuel
i S. Koenig, County chairman, personally
| extended the invitation to Lewis and
; Becker.
Mr. Lewis in his speech condemned
the indorsement of candidates before
the primaries by county committees a?
a violation of the spirit of the primary
law, and said that he had discouraged
till attempts to indorse his own candi
: dacy.
Whitman Is Questioned
He favored, he said, submitting the
proposed bone-dry amendment to the
federal Constitution to the voters, in?
stead of having it ratified by the
Legislature without the voters being
; consulted. He also declared in favor
j of the restoration of the state conven
; tion and a modification of the primary
law.
On the need of modification of the
primary law Mr. Lewis cited the ac?
tion of the Supreme Court in ho din?
that the nominating petitions of Eu?
gene M. Travis, the State Controller,
were invalid because one of the minor
technicalities prescribed by law had
not been observed.
| Tells of Fight on Spies
Mr. Becker told of how the Attorney
Generai's office, by virtue of the "peace
, and safety act," which lie declared the
| Attorney General conceived, had been
[ able to conduct investigations into
German and pro-German activities
i which the Federal government hud
; br-en unable to handle because it did
not possess the power.
He cited us an example the enemy
alien custodian net, which Congress
passed, but neglected to give the en?
emy alien custodian power to compel
recalcitrant witnesses to testily. It
was because of this power thar the At?
torney General was uble to show that
; the Kaiser controlled "The New York
Evening Mai! "
The first case, he said, which he had
invesUgated under the Attorney Gen- j
eral's direction was that of Bob. Pacha. ?
This resulted in exposing Bolo's rela- ;
tions with William Randolph Hearst
and Count von BernstorfT From the
latter Bolo obtained $1,883.000 to con?
duct a peace drive in France in behalf
of Gern.any through newspapers he ;
subsidized with German gold and in
which he eulogized Hearst.
"As a result of this peace and safety
.act," continued Mr. Becker, "the Attor?
ney General's office bus been an effec?
tive adjunct of the Federal govern?
ment in stamping: out Cern?an propa?
ganda and German conspiracies. In
some of these German plots Germans,

Cocks Predicts
Whitman Will Win
All but One County
W. W. Cocks, chairman of the Whit?
man campaign committee, said yester?
day that Governor Whitman was mak?
ing great hendway in Albany County,
the heme bailiwick of "Boss" Barnes,
and that the Governor would carry all
the counties in the primaries, with the
possib'? exception of Albany.
"I believe that I am within bounds
when I say that the Governor will
carry every county in the state, with
the possib'e exception of Albany Coun?

different sections of the state there are
county leaders who are against the
Governor, but these leaders do not rep

Caruso Married Miss Benjamin |
Without Her Father's Knowledge
There is a certain shop in Fifth Ave
i nue where the only commodities sold
| are silk stockings and lingerie of the
! finest silk and lace. It was to this
! shop that Enrico Caruso went yester
i day morning with Mrs. Caruso.
The former Dorothy Park Benjamin,
j with the more or less expert assist
! anee of her spouse, purchased a be
; lated but thoroughly expensive and
I satisfactory foundation for a trousseau.
| From this shop the singer and his
I bride zigzagged up the avenue on a
^ shopping expedition that started a
! train of package laden trucks toward
the freight elevators of the Kn:ck?r
I booker. Mrs. Caruso indica ed her
j desires by pointing with a short oryx
! swagger stick and Enrico signed the
checks.
Later in the afternoon the tenor was
| asked what sort of a present he had
given his wife.
"Present? Present" he. echoed. "Ah,
but it was just rings, bracelets, neck
; laces."
The check signer radiated joy and
happiness and fairly danced about on
feet encased in patent leather button
shoes with white kid uppers, while he
supervised the furnishing and re?
arranging of his suite at the Knicker?
bocker. This has grown from seven to
ten rooms, now that Caruso has ac
qu;red a family.
Mrs. Caruso "hasn't acquired the self
possession that belongs to her spouse
in the presence of reporters and photo?
graphers, and her one rep'y to ques?
tions was: "P ease talk to my hus?
band; I have nothing to say." She is
tall and beautiful, with biue eyes ami
dark huir.
Canijo was asked to explain the fact
that his wife's fath< r and stepmother,
Mr. and Mrs. Park Benjamin, of 270
West Seventy Third Street and Spring
Lake, N. ,!., did uot attend the wed
dii g.
"We wanted to do it bom. bom: how
you say it'.'"
"in a flash; with speed." supplied
his personal secretary. Bruno Ziratp.
Caruso 'old with a great deal; of
amusement about his experience in get
fine- a license to be married.
"The license man asked my name. I
told him. He said: 'Are you the really
Caruso?' I tell him yes. and then he
said: 'I thought you hud the biga chest
You're sure you Caruso?'"
Caruso said he met Miss Benjamin
three years ago at a reception in the
home of Dr. P Marafioti, 2Q2 Madison
Avenue, and that they became engaged
six months ago. after a courtship that
lasted five months.
It was learned yesterday that Mrs.
Caruso aspired to be a singer at one
time and studied voice culture with
Mme Gaudenzi. The bride's father is
said to be a grand opera "fan." and ac?
cording to John Keith, a broker, whoso
wife was Mrs. Caruso's matron of hon?
or, a week-end party is being arranged
for t^he couple at the home of the
bride's father in Spring Lake.
Park Benjamin, father of young Mrs.
Caruso, would not disauss the wedding
of his daughter at length last night.
In his home at Spring Lake, N. J., he
contented himself with s*y;ng that his
daughter and Mr. Caruso had reached
an age where they should know theij
uwn minds and if they wanted tc
marry it was entirely their own affair
"Mr. Caruso asked me for my daugh?
ter's hand on Friday of last week,'
said Mr. Benjamin. "I refused him al
that time. He utgod me for my rea
sons and I told him frankly I thought
he was too old to marry my daughtei
and 1 particularly feared because o:
his artistic temperament.
"We have great respect for Mr. Ca
ruso's 'aient and enjoyod hi compati)
this past summer, when he has been i
guest at our home. We simply did no
feel he wae the man for oui Uaughtei
to -'IP.." .'.''
Mr. Benjamin said that to the bes
of his knowledge h:a daughter had no
known the singer longer than since l".s
December. She left home last Mpndaj
.he added, and the next either he or hi
wife heard from her was at 31 o'cioc
Tuesday night, when he was informe
that she had been married.
Mr. Benjamin did not say whethe
he contemplated calling on his duugh
ter and son-in-law. He did s'iy. hew
ever, that if they chose to visit th
I ride's parents they would he we I com <
resent the people, as will be demon?
strated at the primaries."
Governor Whitman yesterday spoke
to farmers' granees in Clinton, Frank?
lin and Essex counties and ;it Miners'
Farm, in Chazy. He will speak at the
St. Lawrence County fair at Gouver?
neur to-day. and will come to New York
Sunday.
Heaeock Says Tolishus
Case !s His Only Issue
Ex-State Senator Seth G. Heaeock,
Lieutenant Governor Schoeneck's op?
ponent for the Republican nomination
for Lieutenant Governor, issued a
statement yesterday explaining that he
was a candidat" because he thought
that Mr. Schoeneck's attitude toward
his law e'erk, .lohn A. Tolishus, who is
under ire. ctment, charged with sedi?
tious utterances, forbade the accept?
ance o;' Mr. Scheeneck as a candidate
01 thi platform et' Americanism adopt?
ed by the Saratoga convention.
