40,000 SUFFRAGETTES OFFER HELP IN CRISIS

Tender Services to Government In Making Ammunition While Men Are At War.

LONDON, July 17.—David Lloyd George, minister of munitions and the "man of the hour" in the amunition crisis now faced by the British government, this afternoon welcomed the offer of English suffrageie.s to. come to the aid of the government in helping speed up the production of shells. "You women can help us to victory," Lloyd George told Mn. Emniellne Pankhurst, and a delegation of suffragettes who halted before his reviewing platform, after 40,000 of them had inarched in a huge demonstration. "Without your aid victory will tarry, •which means victory whose footprints are footprints of blood."

Lloyd George praised tho spirit which prompted the thousands of women to move through the streets of London in a drizzling rain to prove to the government their willingness to "do their tit" to help England win the war. The procession, he said, was one of the most inspiring demonstrations he had seen since the beginning of the war.

About 50.000 women already are engaged in making ammunition for the British armies, the minister of munitions told the deputation.

Lloyd George warned the suffragette leaders that work in tho ammunition factories was no "pink tea" but assured them that women who come prepared for hard work will receive the same treatment as men. "The women who volunteer must be ready to give to give their whole time to the work," he said. "Women will be (paid the same wages as men. AH establishments will be under government control and the government will aee to it that there ia no sweated labor. A fair minimum wage will be 9aid all workers."

How Much Better You Feel

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

MRS. JVAXCY itt. WESTFALL. The funeral of the late Mrs. Nancy M. Westfall will be held this afternoon from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Robert G. Watson, 1425 South Center street. In the absence from the city of the Rev. C. Talmage, pastor of the First Congregational church, with which deceased had been identified foV practically her lifetime, the services will be in charge of the Rev. W. O. Rogers of Plymouth Congregational church. The pall bearers will be Palmer L. Graham, Dr. O. M. Brown, Prof. L. J. Rettger, George C. Buntin, Dr. George M. Marbach and John M. Bigwood.

Mrs. Westfall, whose death occurred after a long illness, was the widow of Perry

Westfall, for

many

years pub

lisher of the old Saturday Evening Mail, which, under his management, was a household word in the Wabash valley, and was the model of many similar papers.

Mrs. Ida A. Harper, since world famous as a writer and advocate of woman suffrage, did her first literary work as the writer of special feature articles for the Mail.

While Mrs. Westfall had little to do with the actual work of publishing the Mail, it was her loyal support of her husband, and her practical business sense, that had much to do with its success, when he was struggling to make it the popular weekly paper that it proved to be, and which is well remembered by many of the older residents of the city.

Mrs. Westfall was the daughter of Landon Cochran, an early resident of the county, who came here from Pennsylvania when Mrs. Westfall was but a yaar old. He was a veteran of the Mexican war, and one of the early gun-makers of the Wabash valley, when that art was but slightly developed.

The services will be held at 3:80 o'clock.

MRS. DORA McCOY.

Mrs. Dora McCoy, 54 years old, wife of J. W. McCoy, 458 South Seventeenth street, died Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the Rawley hospital in Brazil. The body was brought to Terre Haute and taken to the residence, but will be shipped Monday at 8 o'clock to Riley, O.

«SAYS HE'LL SUE EVELYN FOR DIVORCE

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., July 17.— Harry K. Thaw tonight confirmed the report that he intends to sue Evelyn Nesbit Thaw for divorce. "Yes, I intend to divorce her," Thaw said just before he retired. "That's all I want to say about it right now. I haven't made my plans and I haven't hired a lawyer."

He will leave here tomorrow afternoon at 4:45 for Philadelphia, taking the 8:45 train for Pittsburgh Monday morning.

streak, was traveling about 14 knots, and Captain Taylor immediately ordered full speed ahead. One of the officers calmly took out his watch as the periscope came into view and from that time until the first shell whistled across our decks, it was exaxctly eight minutes. "The white streak, I think, was the submarine itself traveling under water. "The way Captain Taylor handled that big vessel was the most magnificent thing I have ever seen| At each shot he threw'him»elf flat on his bridge arising immediately and calling his orders. At each shot he would bring her over on new course and in that way we zigcagged like a man running before a fusilads of shots. It was wonderful. I remained on deck until the fourth shot went screeching by us and I then went below where my ddg-waa chained and. brought him on deck, where we witnessed the remainder of the attack. Seven shots were fired altogether, but. we gradually drew away from the submarine and watched her dive back in the deep."

Few Passengers Awake.

Pew passengers were awake when the attack was made, according to members of the crew. Stewards ran down the corridors, arousing them, and many donned life belts. Th3 life boats were made ready for any emergency.

There were no signs of panic, according to the passengers, although a few women became slightly hysterical. "The submarine must have been an old one," said Baron Rosenkrant !, "for she was very slow. I watched diligently for her number, but there was none on her, so far as I could see. "Of the seven shots four went over us and three fell near *as. I counted from two to four minutes between each shot. "The next day, the 28 first cabin passengers drew up a resolution thanking Captain Taylor and his officers for the way in which they outgeneral the submarine commander. We certainly owe our lives to them."

W. O. Thompson, a Chicago lawyer, said he was awakened by the explosions, and looking through the porthole of his stateroom saw two of the shells strike the surface, sending up huge columns of water.

fraud and robbery have had the sanction of the courts simply shows to what extent the courts themselves have been prostituted by this greedy and conscienceless corporation which has absolutely no interest in Terre Haute beyond exploiting the city to the limit and milking the people to a finish. "When Mr. Beasley objects to the jitney driver on the ground that 'he Is not necessarily required to be a citizen' on© wonders at the low estimate he places on the intelligence of his fellow-townsmen. Why does he not protest against his own clients for the same reason? Is it perchance because he 'shares liberally in the proceeds of the sale of his neighbors and townsmeil to the rich men af the east? "John R. Lawson, the brave and Incorruptible leader of the miners in Colorado, was sent to the penitentiary for life by a Rockefeller judge in a Rockefeller court upon the theory th^-t as leader of the strike he was responsible for the mWders and other crimes perpetrated during his leadership. If this same theory of law were applied to Mr. Beasley's traction client^ every one of them would serve a life sentence in the state prison.

Plea to Organize,

"Mr. Bea.sley speaks with great confidence of the public utilities commission. I have no such confidence. Most commissions of that character are controlled by the corporations they are supposed to control. The jitney drivers and their friends, the common people, would better prepare to rely upon themselves in this fight. They have no reason to trunt commissions or courts wl/en an issue arises between themselves and powerful corporations. First of all let the jitney drivers organize and stand together. The organized workers and 'the common people will back them. They know the traction company and they understand why this underhanded attempt is being made to strike down the jitneys and give Mr. Beasley's corporation clients the absolute monopoly to pluck the people of Terre Haute.

VI am for the jitneys. "EUGENIE Y. DEBS., "Terre Haute, Ind."
