Great Territory to Cover,
"In considering the establishment and
maintenance of a postal facility In tho
United State, we must not lose sight of
the vastness of our country. Continental
United State, lnotudlng Alaska, has an
area of 3.C1T.000 square miles, whereas
Great Britain ha. nn area lei. than that
of our now state of New Mexico, either
aermany or Franca an area but lttlo tn
excess of the combined area of Colorado

larger than the state of Vermont. The
combined area of Kngland, Wales, Scot

States and the countries of Europe are
altogther Incomparable.
"It wo estimated that during the first
year of this new service 300,000,000 piece.
would be handled. Tho data thus far
obtained Indicates that this number will
bo doubled. This Immense volume of
mall Is being dispatched and delivered
promptly without any congestion or delay
to the other mall, which reflects great
credit on our service. Postmasters and
employes throughout the service have
shown a spirit of co-operation with the
Department in making this service a sue
cess which is highly commendable.
Convenient ud Economical,
"The manufacturer and the merchant
use the parcel post because of Its com
merclal benefit, but to the householder
and to the occasional user Its attractive
features are those of convenience and
economy. The Ideal service Is one that
will permit the personal laundry and the
wonderful creations In women's wearing
apparel being sent from a distance and
received In fit condition to be worn by
the most fastidious; that will permit the
country dame to get Into closer touch
with the bargain counter at the city

Tho service in Europe Is of this character

WASHINGTON, July 31. "Votes for

delegations of suffragists from every
tate In the union who besieged the sen-
ato chamber and bombarded the sena
tors with petitions bearing thousands of
Ignatures, urging consideration of a
woman suffrage constitutional amend
ment. Tho siege of the senate followed a dem
onstration, In the course of which hun
dreds of women paraded from Hyatts
vlllc, Md., through the country roads and
the city streets, down Pennsylvania ave
nue and through tho capltol grounds.
Members of the senato woman suffrage
committee, which has already favorably
reported, the suffrage amendment, met
tho petition bearers and rode to the cap
ltol with them.
Minn Vaul Lends l'nrnde.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of tho leg
islative committee of the National Amer
ican Woman Suffrage association, offi
cers of the association and the snat-
committee headed the parade. At the
capltol it disbanded and a cloud of femi
ninity fluttered Into the senato wing.
Tho dignified hush of the Imposing mar
ble room Just off the senate chamber
was shattered by the demands of women
from various statos, that their cards be
taken to their senators. The pages wero
busy for the better part of an hour, hur
rying senators from the chamber to meet
their "constituents" armed with petitions.
After tho petitions had been presented
the delegations flocked to the galleries,
where seats had been reserved and tho
woman suffrage supporters on the floor
of the senate took charge of the demon-
tratlon. Senators Owen, Ashurst, Poln.
dexter, Jones, Works, Lane, Smoot, Clapp,
Thomas, Shafrota and Hollts made Driet
addresses endorsing the petitions.

aro overwhelming and unanswerable and
tho ,tlmo hus come when they must be'
considered with dignity, with unbiased
mind, free from prejudice or passion, In
the Interests of tho welfare of the human
race.
I don't appeal to men from a party
standpoint or call their attention to tho
effect which may bo expected to follow
If either one of the great parties should
go so far as to Insult the 3,000,000 women
who now have the full suffrage in
America by contemptuously denying a
right so obviously Just and so obviously
neccseary to tho wolfaro, tho progress
and tha happiness of tho people of
America, but I will remind you that a
great party with high Ideals, casting
over 4,000,000 votes last year declared for
woman suffrage and the question can no
longer bo Ignored."
Slnnr Senator Hnenlc.
Senator Clapp, presenting Minnesota pe
titions, mado a stirring appeal for tha
extension of suffrage.
"Whatever the fate of this present res
olution may do," he declared, "the tlhn
is not far distant and is Inevitable when
tho American people will confer on tho
American woman the only weapon by
means of which sho can peacefully do-
fend herself and her children the ballot.
Practically every sonator was armed
with a bundle of the petitions, bound with
the yellow ribbon of the suffragists.
Senator Smoot, presenting the Utah pe
titions, attacked militancy In the fight
for suffrage.
"Suffrage should be given not to the
Pnnkhursts and the militant radicals
nmong our women," ho said, "but t
thoso who follow In the womanly foot
steps of the American pioneers for stif
frago Mary Ellen Foster, Susan B. An

Several changes from present pra:tlco with reference to flnancla' op

LONDON, July M.-Great Britain has
decided against participation In tho Pa
nama-Pacific exposition at Son Francisco
In 1915. Notification of this determination
of the British government was conveyed
officially to Washington this week, the
dispatch merely stating that. Great Bri
tain was not in a position to' participate
in the Ban Francisco exposition. No rea
sons wero given.
Doth the British foreign office and
Waiter nines Page, tho United States
ambassador here, decline to discuss the
matter or to reveal the cause of this
reversal of tho announcement made some
time back that Great Britain had de
cided In principle to participate In the
exposition.
It has been mooted for somo time, how-
over, that the dispute In regard to the
ranama canal tolls might possibly lead
to this result and tho present notifica
tion of non-participation Is attributed to
that cause.
Gcrninnr Mar Also Drop Oat.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-After ex
hibiting much concern over the places
which wolld bo assigned to prospective
exhibitors by the management of the
ranama-Paclflc exposition, the British
government finally has declined to par
ticipate. The long delay in action on tha
invitation to participate In tho exposition
extended a year ago has been the causa
of deep concern to tho management of
the exposition, particularly as formidable
opposition had likewise developed in
Germany, whero certain of tho great
trade associations, such as thoso repre
senting tho steel and iron manufacturers
had formally requested the German gov
ernment to decline the Invitation.
In an unofficial way It Is said that
dlssatlsfoctlon on the part of the groat
commercial nations will be with certain
features of tho pending tariff bill, which
they felt boro hardly on their trade was
the reason for the attitude of covert
hostility toward the San Francisco fair.
But as tho senate finance committee has
amended the tariff bill in a manner
thought to mako It unobjectionable to
thos nations. It was fully expected that
they would seo their way clear to accept
the Invitations.
Pnnnnin Toll Still nn Issue.
In the case of Great Britain, however,
through the original cablegram of Am
bassador Page giving notlco of tho
declination has now been supplemented by
a mall report dealing with tho subject
more fully, It is not yet positively known
what basis of objection now remains. It
la thought by officials, however, that
while the reason assigned by the British
government is a belief that there have
been too many such International expoel.
tlons In recent years, the underlying
objection is based on the view of in
congruity of British participation In an
event designed to celebrate the opening
of tho Panama canal, while there is a
dispute as to Its free use.

Rates from East
to Iowa Cities Are
Ordered Reduced
WASHINGTON. July Sweeplns re
ductions in through and class rates from
Atlantic coast points to practically all
Iowa cities were today ordered by the
Interstate Commerce commission In Its
decisions of what are known as the Mis
sissippi river and 'the interior Iowa cities
cases. Tho reductions on the through
rates average from 8 to 7 cents per 100
pound, while the rates to the interior
cities will be proportionately lower.
In the Interior Iowa cities cose it was
contended that those points suffered In
proportion to tho higher rates to the up
per crossings in Iowa, on which their
rates were based. In consequence of the
readjustment of the upper crossings
rates, tho rates to tho Interior cities are
ordored lowered.
Another order by the commission today
readjusts the class rates from Chicago to
tho Interior Iowa cities and places them
on a proportionate basis with points on
the Mississippi river and the Missouri
river.
Class and commodity rates on east
bound freight from Colorado common
points to Chicago, Missouri and Missis
sippi river districts were materially re
duced today In another order. The pro
posed reductions to Chicago average 20
to 60 cents; to Mississippi river points,
)D to 48 cents, and to Missouri river points,
10 to 25 cents per hundred pounds.

BERLIN, July 21. The disclosures of
corruption In the Oerman army made by
Dr. Karl Ltebknecht, the socialist deputy
in the Imperial Parliament on April IS.
came up today when a court-martial con
vened to try the military officers charged
with accepting bribes for information of
pending government contracts for rrns
ard ammunition.
Four officers of the ordnance depart
ment were brought before the Judges.
They were Lieutenants Titian, Hlnit,
Hoge and Schleuder, to whom was in
trusted the supervision of many of the
ammunition and arms contracts at var
ious arsenals and factories throughout
Germany. Chief Clerk Pfolffer and two
noncommissioned officer of the ordnance
corps also were In the prisoners' en
closure. It has been charged by Dr. Ltebknecht
that "corruption and bribery of the part
of munition companies" was prevalent
and that there was an organised scheme
for raising war scares and thus causing
the government to spend more money on
armaments.
The civilian offenders, who Include the
alleged briber on behalf of the ordnance
companies and also the directors of those
concerns will come before an ordinary
criminal court at a later date.
Trial vrlth Open Doors.
It was decided by tho president of the
courtmartlal to permit the admission of
twenty reporters to the tiny court room
and these and a few military officers
formed the audience. Contrary to tho
usual custom at courtmartlals, the trial
was held with open doors, but reporters
and others not officially present were ex
cluded during the reading of the con
fldentlal reports and other papers seized
from Krupp's representative and con
