PROMINENT
SUFFRAGIST
LARGE AUDIENCE ATTENDS
LECTURE BY DR. ANNA
SHAW
IS REMARKABLE SPEAKER
Took up Various Phases of Suf­
frage Question, Mixing Wit
and Humor with Keen
Analysis.
A largo and very enthusiastic audi­
ence greeted Dr. Anna Howard Shaw
last night, when she spoke at the
Armory. Dr. Shaw spoke at consid­
erable length, but It is a tribute to
her ability as a speaker that her audi­
ence showed no disposition to toet
come impatient at any time during
her address. The speaker was intro­
duced by Governor Hanna.
The speaker took up every conceiv­
able phase of the suffrage question
which it was possible to cover in a
limited time. The ease of her ad­
dress was a noticeable feature, and
lier rare wit contributed much to thei
effectiveness of the speech
Dr. Shaw discussed the suffrage
movement from it» early inception,
and outlined its growth in the Unit­
ed States, and in other countries.
With some sarcasm she denied that
the United, States is a republic, when
one-half the population is not repre­
sented in the voting element.
She dealt with some of the argu­
ments which are raised in opposition
to suffrage, one of them being that
the women would not use the vote if
they had it, a& is evidenced by the
email percentage of women in North
Dakota who vote at school elections.
The speaker eaid it is not surprising
that few women vote in the school
elections, as in most cases there is
no real contest involved, and the wo­
men feel that they are being put on
with a small fraction of what is their
right in the matter of voting. She il­
lustrated by inquiring how many men
would vote if they were given a small
ballot with a few. names upon it, on
which they were allowed to vote, while
they saw the women voting on a bal­
lot several feet long. She stated,
also, that no effort was male to inter­
est the women, and to induce them to
vote, and amusingly recounted the
measures which are resorted to, to se­
cure audiences and attention for men
candidates for the higher offices.
Dr. Shaw met the accusation which
has 'been thrown at her by the anti
suffragists, that she had expressed
herself in favor of eliminating the
marriage ceremony. She eaid that
she had never made any such state­
ment. On the contrary, in discuss­
ing the question of the marriage cere­
mony she had once said that she fa­
vored the elimination of some of the
meaningless features which tradition
and custom have entrenched therein,
one of these being the word, "obey."
Another thing to which she objected
was the ceremony of "giving the
Ibride away." Dr. Shaw said that, tix
from wishing to see the marriage
ceremony eliminated, she wished to
see it made a ceremony fraught with
the deepest meaning, but simple and
dignified, as is befitting the consum­
mation of so serious an obligation.
In discussing the organized oppo­
sition to the suffrage movement. Dr.
Shaw said that, while she did not be­
lieve that all anti-suffragists were al­
lied with the forces vice, all the
forces of vice are on the side of anti
euffrage. She said she felt sure some
of the women who are conscientious­
ly opposing suffrage would blush with
shame if they realized the cohorts of
vice which are assisting them in
their fight. She called attention to
several specific instances tending to
show .that the saloon interests are
unqualifiedly opposed to suffrage, and
are fighting ,it tooth and nail, and she
held that fact to be very significant
of the good which suffrage can accom­
plish when gained.
In discussing the charge which has
been made against her that she had
blacklisted a nwmlber of prominent

Of the reports of the capture of 500
Austrian field guns and 1,000 heavy

"The general staff of the dual mon­

result of four weeks' fighting, the cap­

"News from home insists upon the
outbreak of a panic and the prevaleno
eof famine in Vienna. Itoth tales are'
absolutely false and pure fiction. Con­
ditions are normal in the Austrian
capital, where the imperial opera
opened first.
"As far as famine is concerned, I
have received private letters that
most prices of the necessaries of
life, after a short rise, dropped to the
normal level, but some foodstuffs like
eggs and sugar, have become cheaper
on account of the impossibility of
their exportation. Generally spaking,
the most patriotic spirit inspires the
whole nation. All rumors or new of
mutiny or surrender of Slav leaders,
or disaffection of the ocialists are

Senate Settles Down to an All

Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.—A fin­
al effort to break a determined fili­
buster against the river and harbors
appropriation bill, the senate leaders
tonight had Itjhe sergeant-at-arms sent
to round up the absentees and settled
down fcr what promised to be an all
jiiiglht's session. The proposal to
compromise the contemplated twenty
million lump sum appropriation for
river and harbor improvements as a
substitute for the pending bill evoked
a little enthusiasm from the river and
harbor improvement advocates, who
decided that a continuous session be
held in hope of wearing out the mem­
bers trying, to talk the bill to death.

Fargo, !N. D., Sept. 18.—A man.
who gave the name of K. S. Coflid.
was brought in to the police station
from the Thomas Schroeder farm,
charged with the theft of $5 from
Lenn Bolovino3. It seems that Coflid
met Bolovinos near the Schroeder
place, which is albout five miles out
of Moorhead. and asked if the latter
had change for a $5 bill. When bo­
lovinos produced the money, he de­
clares, Coflid snatched it and ran.
Bolovinos gave chase and raised
such a hue and cry that he attracted
the attention of Thomas Schroeder
and his crew, working nearby, who
joined in the chase, and rcjunded up
the fugitive.
NORTHWOOD MAN DIES.
Northwood, N. D„ Sept. 18.—Citi­
zens were much shocked to learn of
the death of J. F. McKnight. who re
cently came here from Oakes, N. D.,
and opened up a restaurant.
Mr. McKnight, it appears, was sub­
ject to occasional cataleptic fits,
which as a rule were of short dura­
tion. When he'became ill and was
seized in the usual manner with his
old trouble, no thought of anything
serious was entertained. He kept to
his room that day, but his illness be­
came so alarming that it was thought
best to remove hi mto the hospital,
but he died just as the carriage drew
up in front of that institution. He
was 58 years of age.

Fourth North Dakota Industrial Ex­
position, which is to bo !i, Id in this
city October 13 to 24, is to be by far
the biggest and 'best ever.
Manager Gilbreath has the details

in hand and everything is going along
like clock work. A goodly number of
comities have signed up for exhibits,
and Mr. Gilbreath is it-auving appli­
cations for space in every mail for
individual exhibits.
Fine Line of Exhibits.
The excellent crop produced by the
past season lias a~ssi.uv(i a grain ex­
hibit of exceptional interest, and
thore are many who lave signified
their intention of mak i:g exhibits of
grain, grasses, seeds, rotables, and
all kinds of farm prodti.-tx.
Several owners of line dairy cattle
have stated that they ill be on hand
with a number of pure-lircds, while
others will undoubtedly bring quite a
number of grades. The Xew Salem
Holstein Breeding circuit alone will
in all probability have a. carload of
their cattle on exhibition.
The milking contest which is to bo
conducted at the exposition is at­
tracting the attention of the dairy­
men of tlie state, and this promises
to be a most interesting feature.
Railroads Liberal.
The railroad companies have, in­
deed, been very liberal with the ex­
position management Tliey have all
granted a reduced fare of 2c per mile,
which should be an inducement to all
to attend the Expo. Pes do
a this,

Washington, Sept. 18.—Great Brit­
ain has received no proposal for
peace, dtlier directly indirectly,
l'mm Germany or Austria, therefore
she has nothing to say on tho sub­
ject. Tills is tho substance of a mes­
sage late tonight to Sir Spring-Rice,
i'ritish ambassador, from Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign secretary.
The ambassador inquired early to­
day whether any proposal- of peace
was before his government. At the
White Mouse a view was expressed
that tho president practically had
abandoned the idea of carrying fur­
ther the informal peace movement
uegun ten days ago. He decided to
await a definite expression on the
terms from some of the belligerents,
feeling it inconsistent with American
neutrality to press any belligerent to
make overtures to others.
ASKS ENGLAND TO EXPLAIN.
Washington. Sept. IS.—The United
States government sent a formal note
to Great Britain inquiring if the re­
cent interview attributed to Sir Li­
onel Carden, British minister to Mex­
ico, criticizing President Wilson for
withdrawing the American forces
from Vera Cruz is accurate in any
part. It is understood as an indica­
tion of the displeasure of the Amer­
ican government over the incident as
conveyed in the note.

LAST EDITION
Battle On Aisne Has
Raging Five Days
Germans Are Heavily En­
trenched and Their Center
Has Been Successful in
Early Combats General
Joffre Waiting for Oppor­
tune Time to Strike.
Looking For Weak Point
CARNAGE IS TERRIBLE.
Each encounter influences the execution of the general
idea of the commander-in-chief of the allied armies. Dur­
ing the night of September 15th, sixteen Germans attempt­
ed a formidable movement on western Sphere, but were
met by the French and British with a courage marvelous
against overwhelming edds. The Germans returned to at­
tack at least ten times, with remarkable tenacity and intre­
pidity, but were unable to break through the firm line pre­
sented by the allies, Last might it was relatively ctalm
along the front, but today the fighting became more furious
than ever. During the darkness the operations were ren­
dered difficult, owing- to reluctance of the opposing com­
manders to use searchlights, which might expose their po­
sition. After this stage was concluded the Germans ap­
peared to retire about seven miles. During the combat
the adversaries in many instances came to hand to hand
clashes. The bayonet was used extensively. The carnage
was terrifying.
London, Sept. 18.—For five days the British and French armies
have been trying to dislodge the Germans from a strong line of de­
fense which v\Ms coukI rart-ed on a battle..front stretching from the
Oise to the Meuse rivers. There have been attacks and couhter
attacks, but in words of an official communication, there "has been
no change in the situation."
ALLIES CLAIM PROGRESS.
The allies claim to liave made slight progress at some points
against the German right, north of Aisne and repulsed the counter
attacks there.
Between Craonnc and Rheims the Germans 'are acting purely
on the defensive, having ''dug themselves into entrenchments." The
German official reports are almost identical with the allies. They
say no decision has been leached, but the allies' power of resistance
is weakening. The French attempt to break their right has failed,
and in the center, the Germans are gaining ground slowly. The
allies from Verdun were repulsed. It would seem from all this that
the commanding generals have not found the weak points in the
opponents' positions, each withholding the determining blow for,
as Lord Kitchener said in the House of Lords, "the right moment."
JOFFRE'S ATTACK UNCERTAIN.
The Germans having reuched selected positions in which they
are strongly fortified, appear to have an advantage, according to
military critics, but for the fact they must defend the whole of their
front to make good their retirement, should attack by them fail, or
the allies break their line, while the French forces are declared to
be free to mass at any point which Joffre may select as the most
suitable for an attack.
It is not certain where the French commander will direct an
.assault. It is thought Joffre\s making arrangements for an at­
tempt to cut through the German front somewhere north of Ver­
dun, and thus drive the
Jinnies
of the German crown prince, Duke
Wuerttemberg, and Generals von Buelow and von Kluck westward,
and sever tlicir communication with the Rhine through Luxemberg
and compel them to rely on lines running into Belgium, which are
menaced by the allies and also the Belgians.
PREPARED TO OFFER RESISTANCE.
The Germans are reported to be prepared to offer tremendous
resistance to such a move. They are in strong positions with addi­
tional defended positions upon which they can fall back if neces­
sary. Reinforcements and munitions can reach them easily.
PURSUIT OF PRUSSIANS CONTINUE.
Petrograd reports say the Russian pursuit of Austrians contin­
ues, and £he Russians have gained important successes over the Aus­
trian rear guard. Convoys of two army corps with thirty guns and
ammunition and 5,000 prisoners are said to have been captured. The
whole Austro-Russian border between Yusevoff and Ann&pol is re­
ported to be overrun by Cossacks, leading the Russian advance.
The Russian army in Galicia will be left there to complete its
work, for according to a Rome dispatch, an army of 900,000 Rus­
sians are marching into Central Poland followed by another army
of 2,000,000 while a third army also 2,000,000 is coming from more
distant regions and will reach the front in October. Already, it is
said, there must be a million Russians in Galicia and 500,000 in East
Prussia.
The official information bureau announces that Commander
Sahson, with an armored motor car force attached to the naval fly­
ing corps, encountered a patrol of five Uhlans near Soullens,
France, Wednesday and killed four and wounded and captured 50.
There were no British losses.
GERMAN POSITION IS GOOD.
A Copenhagen correspondent of the Central News forwarded
the following from Berlin "The situation of German troops in the
great battle on the western frontier is good, especially in the center,
where the Germans received substantial reinforcements. An end
of the battle is expected soon."
An announcement, of the official press bureau says: "Accord-*
