Washington, Sept. 30. The Ameri

threat to execute all American prison
ers found in possession of shotguns,
today gave notice that if Germany
carried out any such threat, suitable
reprisals will be taken. Secretary Lan
sing's reply declared the use of shot
guns is sanctioned by the Hague con

carry out its threat in any instances,"
Mr. Lansing said, "it would be the
right and duty of the United States to
make such reprisals as would ' best

tice is hereby given of the intention
of the government of the United States

NO VOTE REACHED
IN SENATE TODAY
Leaders Counted on President's
Support to Assure
Passage. v ;
"Washington, Sept. 30. The senate
again today failed to reach a vote on
the suffrage amendment resolution.
After the president had delivertd a
personal appeal for passage of the
resolution as a war measure, senators
resumed debate which will be contin
ued tomorrow, when the leaders expect
final action.
Suffrage leaders have been counting
upon the president's influence to end
the delay in the senate, which appar
ently again is to start vacation re
cesses without acting upon the suf
frage resolution already passed by the
house. ; .
The president's decision to step into
the breach and probably save the .-suffrage
resolution from defeat, . or in
definite postponment in the senate,
where for days it has been hanging
fire, was known to only a few until
shortly before noon today when the
Whitt House simply notified Demo
cratio Leader Martin that the president
wished to address the senate.
He asked for passage of the resolu
tion. as 'a war measure.
TEXT OF SPEECH.
He said: 'The unusual circum
stances of a world war, in which, we
stand and judged in the view not only
of our own people and our own con
sciences, but also ' in the view -of all
nations and peoples, will, I hope, jus
tify in your thoughts as ; it .does in
mine, ui message I have come to
bring-you. - In regard to the concur
rence of the senate in the constitu
tional amendment proposing the ex
tension of the suffrage to women, as
vitally essenital to the successful
prosecution of the great war of
humanity in which we are engaged.
I have come to prge upon you the con.
siderations which have led me to that
conclusion. It is not only my " privi
lege, it is also my duty to apprise you
of every circumstance and element in
volved - in this momentous struggle
which seems to me to affect its very
processes and its outcome. It is my
duty to win the war and to. ask you
to remove every obstacle that stand in
the way of winning it."

ORDER NUMBERS FOR 13,000,000
NEW DRAFT REGISTRANTS.
Washington, Sept. 30. Drawing of
the order number for 13.000,000 new
draft registrants was started today by
President Wilson. Blindfolded the
President groped in the great glass lot
tery bowl and drew out slip numbered
322.
Vice-President Marshall drew the
second number and was followed Dy
sixteen notables who were invited to
participate in the final ceremony of
onening the drawing.
The President insisted on being
blindfolded for the drawing, as was
the rule with all others participating
The same procedure that governed
the other drawings was followed. As
the capsules are drawn from the
bowl by a blindfolded person tney are
opened by another who calls out ' the
number marked on the sup or paper
within, the number is recorded by tel
lers and at the same time written on
a large blackboard for checking pur
poses if necessary. Each tiny slip is to
be threaded on a thin wire so as to
unmistakably keep all in the order in
which they come out.
As the numbers are read, tellers re
cord them on sheets to be hurried to
the government printing office for the
official master list. . This when com
pleted is to be distributed by - the
Provost Marshal General to the district
boards throughout the country which
in turn will give out to registrants
and the newspapers. , uruy me uri

The drawing will probably be com
pleted Tuesday afternoon.
Nish, capital of Serbia before the Austro-Bu Igarian armies forced the retirement of the Ser
bian armies, is the main object of the allied armies operating in Serbia now, in the effort to
repatriate Serbia and force the retirement of th e Austrian armies.: A' dispatch reports the with
drawal of the Austrian armies from Albania. With the conclusion of the separate peace be
tween the Allies and Bulgaria and the conseque nt concentration of the armies of the former
against the retreating Austro-Germans, it is expected that the AUstrians will soon be fighting
on their own soil in a futile effort to hold back, t he victorious Greeks, Serbs, Albanians, and other
allied armies.
