PRESIDENT TAKES NO HAND
Reported to -Be in Favor of
Rule But Has Nothing to
Do in Its Pushing.
. .WASIIINOAO.N. Juno IS. The
"rat today refused to curtail lt
doliate during the war. Hy a vote
of 41 to 34 a rule proposed by Sen
ator I'nderwood of Alabama o limit
senators to one hour and a half bill
or resolution and 20 minutes on
amendments, except hy unanimous
consent was defeated.
Although the resolution's support
ers had been confident of ltd adopt
ion during the spirited debate of
the last few days, when the vote wan
taken late today a dozen Democrat
senators unexpectedly Joined the ma
jority of Republicans opposing the
rule.
Senator Vnderwood declared half
the time devoted to senate sessions
was wasted. The sole purpose of the
resolution, he said, Is to expedite
public business.
Senator Watson, osj Indiana de
clared unlimited discussion of lecis
latlon Is necessary, especially In con
sideration of treaties. The Inder
wood rule, he said, would make Im
possible a full discussion by the sen
ate of the peace treaty ending the
war.
"The future of civilization will be
Involved in that treaty.", he said,
"yet wc are to hi bound to git still."
"President Wilson hns hart noth
ing to do whatever with the Initia
tion of the rftle so far as I know,"
declared Senator Underwood in ans
wer to Senator Sherman of Illinois,
who charged the president "had
commanded his senators" to pass the
rule. " ('1
"The rule tp limit debate." Sena
tor Sherman asserted, "Is In prepara
tion for a treaty that will submit
ted sooner than senator expect."
Senator Underwood said the pres
ident did not wish to Interfere In
any way with the business of the
senate hut aa an outsider was heart
ily In accord with the proposed rilie.
Senator Townsend of Michigan
opposed tire rule, saying It would
stifle debate and that it was for the
purpose of beginning an attack on
the open forum.
"Since the president was unwilling
to Interfere with the senate," said
Senator Townsent "and because of
no demand or necessity for cloture
here. It Is most difficult for me to
understand how the three members
of a subcommittee thought of this
rule."

WASHINGTON, June 13 Because
they are making large profits out of
the war, zinc and lead mine opera

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we-hailed, at the twilight's las, gleaming?
Whose broad Htrlpes nnd bricht stars through the perilous fight.
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming;
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air.
Cave proof through the' night that our Flag was still there: -O

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On that shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which ),he breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As It fitfully blows, now conceales, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on tho stream:
'TIs the Star Spangled llanner; O long may it wave (
O'er the land of the free and the home of the bravel
And where are the foes who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war, and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more:
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution;
No refuge could save the hh-ellng and slave
From tho terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave;
And tho Star Spangled Hanner in triufrtph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the hume of the brave.
O thus be It ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
TralRe the Power that hath made and preserver us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause It Is Just,
And this be our motto, "In God Is our trust;"
And the Star Spangled Banner In triumph shall wave

or so to win and end it; that is,
providing rio other country hinders.
In losing Russia. It hurt. The Rus

WILSON AGAIN URGES
SUFFRAGE ADOPTION
Wants Scnato to Tanj Resolution at
This Srwtlon to Submit Amend
ment to Nation fof Ballot.
WASHINGTON, June 13. Presi
dent Wilson again has thrown the
weight of his Influence Into th. hai
anco for ("lie federal woman suf
frage amendment. He expressed to
day the hope that the senate would
act favorably at this session on tho
resolution for . submission of the
amendment to the states, passed by
the house last January, after he had
given vhls endorsement.
W hen a delegation headed by Mrs.
Carrie Cliapmann' Call, president of
the National Woman Suffrage asso
ciation, and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
honorary president, called at the
Willie llouno today, the president
read to them a reply to a memorial
presented to him from the French
union for woman suffrage.
Th French suffragists asks Mr.
Wilson to proclaim the principle of
woman .suffrage one of the fundu-'
mental rights of the future. Ills
replj ilows in part:
"1 have read your message with
the deepest interest, and 1 welcome
the opportunity to say that I agree
wflhdut reservation that the full
and sincere democratic reconstruc
tion of the world for which we are
striving, and which we are deter
mined to bring about at any cost
will not have been completely or
adequately attained until women are
admitted to the suffrage, and that
only by that action can the nations
of the world realize for the benefit
cf future generations, the full Idea',
force of opinion or the lull humane
fcrces of action. '
"The services of women durinir
thli supremo crisis of the world s
history have been of the most sig
nal usefulness and distinction. The
war could nut have been fought
without them, or Its sacrifices en
dured. It Is high time that some
part of oitr debt of gratitude to them
should be acknowledged and paid,
an 1 tho only acknowledgement they
ssk Is their admission to the suf
frage. Can wo Justly refuse It?
As for America. It is n.y earnest
hope, thtt the senate of the l'nlted
States will give an unmislakcalile
answer t this question by passing
the suffrage amendment to our fed
eral constitution bitfore the end of
this session."
Senate leaders have promised a
vote at this session.

WASHINGTON. June 13. Presi
dent Wilson has approved a nation
wide compulsory work movement to
supplonient provost Marshal General
Crowdcr's "work or fight" regula
tions. In a letter to Governor Her
rlngton of Maryland, made public
here tonight, the president Indorsed
adoption hv other states of the
Marvlund compulsory work law, un
der which the "work or fight" prin
ciple Is made applicable to all men
between the ages of Is and BO.
General Crowder also has ap
proved the movement and believes
!hat It not only win give greuier
feet t his new regulations, but will
further aid the country In Its task
of winning the war by reaching men
b. low and above the draft ages.
Without seme such law as proposed,
either state or national, It was point
ed out, men of draft age who can
not pass the physical requirements
for active or limited military serv
lee ran not bo made to euguge in
necssary occupations.
Tne president's ieiter roiiows m
part:
"Your, letter or May ZI cans my at
tention to the proposal for a nation
wide movement bused upon the prtn.
ciples embodied In the Maryland
compulsory work law. I can say
without hesitation that I am heartily
In accord with any movement In
tended to bring every cltlsen to full
realization of his resonslbllltles as
a participant in this war.
"I'pon our entrance -Into the war
I clilled upon our eltlxens to mobll
Ixe their energies for Us prosecution
In every way that was possible. The
response was exceedingly gratifying.
The slogan "work or fight' has
everywhere been taken up as a sat
isfactory expression of tho spirit of
the people. The Instances of fail
ure lo appreciate its force and sig
nificance have been few. It Is only
natural, however, that those few
cases should excite the feeling that
the spirit of the community should in
soma way be enforced by law upon
tnoae who were not willing to co
operate of their own Initiative. This
had made possible th effective on
eratlnn of our selective service law
and has found expression also. In
your compulsory work law.
The memorandum which you
have prepared points out how wisely
Maryland has acted In this matter.
I hope that It will be possible to
duplicate the action and experience
of Maryland and other states."
