As our Brooklyn quota was a little less than 000 our subscriptions were equal to more than 500 per cent, of our quota. Assuming that the total subscriptions to the Fifth Loan in Brooklyn are approximately $100,000,000 the MANUFACTURERS TRUST COM- PANY has the distinction pf having subscribed for 20 per cent, of the entire Brooklyn total.

At the request of (icorge T. Alice, president of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, Richards appeared before a special committee of the organization on Monday night. The boy Mated that he was regularly employed by the sporting goods firm and showed his time card und record of his sales.

The hitler proved that in addition to selling tennis goods, Richards had an equal record as a salesman of golf and other athletic material. Although the committee did not at once reinstate the youthful champion, it intimated thut if the lad changed his business, he undoubtedly would be permitted to enter amateur tennis tournaments. Richards also was over the coals for being late at tournaments). The lad apologized and slated that in one Incident mentioned by the committee, delay was unavoidable, as he had been in an nuLomubile accident. According to Richards, Ihe car in which he was riding to the courts, near Philadelphia, was overturned and ho was tinder the machine for nlmost twenty minutes.

Washington, May 21 Consideration of the equal suffrage constitutional amendment resolution began in the House shortly after noon today under an agreement to close general debate in two hours and with leaders expecting a vote Immediately afterward. In calling up the resolution, Representative Mann, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the woman suffrage committre, asked unanimous consent to extend the time for debate to 6 o'clock, but Representative Ferris.

Practically all members of the Houso were in their neat! when debate began and the galleries were fairly well tilled. Among the spectators were many representatives of suffrage organizations. Some efforts by opponents to amend the resolution were expected, but supporters were contident the measure as presented would be passed by an overwhelming vote.

The resolution Is the historic Susan B. Anthony draft, proposing submission to the States of an equal franchise amendment to the Constitution. It was adopted by the last House 274 to 13ii on January 1U, 1918, but twice failed in tho Senate, first by two votes and then by one. A large margin over the requisite two-thirds majority wa.i predicted today. With favorable action in the House regarded assured, Senate leaders also were prepared to act promptly.

They plan to secure a vote early next niontTi to dispose of the resolution before work begins on the peace treaty, appropriation bills and other pressing measurex. With changes in the new Senate suffrage advocates believe the resolution will succeed in tho Senate although by a small margin over the Necessary two-thirds najority.

As a whole, the stevedores in South American, ports are comparatively ignorant of the wiles of the German propagandist as well as of the labor principles which form the backbone of American labor organizations, and they have listened readily enough to the Insidious propaganda of German agents seeking the disruption of inter-Allied commerce.
