The American note orf the subject of American cargoes detained by the British continues to be the chief subject of comment toctoy but there is no evidence of irritation or friction. A full cabinet meeting today considered the stand taken Ty the" United States that early improvement must be accorded shipments in transit. A frank discussion among the British officials shows that there is a general disposition to meet American desires in so far as it is practicable to do so. It is pointed out the reexportation by the Scandinavian neutral countries of goods landed in those countries by American shippers, goods which are contraband when destined for a belligerent country, complicates the situation. Where the reexportation of these goods are prohibited, as recently done by Italy, no difficulties remain.

Moreover, British officials say, not all American shippers have been honest in the handling of cargoes. Much absolute contraband has been found concealed in cotton cargoes. Strict inspection of outgoing shipments by the United States "and an official guarantee that therills of consignment are correct might greatly ease the situation, it is declared. Vienna Admits Austrians Compelled To' Retreat Along All Eastern Front LONDON, England, Dec. 30.

The Russian assertions that an important victory has been gained by the left wing in battles against the Austro-German forces are confirmed by today's official statement from Vienna, admitting that the Austrians have been compelled to retreat along the entire eastern front. The northern Russian armies still hold the Germans checked in Poland. The river Bzura, dividing the Slavs and the Teutons, has become a second Yser. Each side is strongly fortified on its respective banks and the battling to gain a foothold on the opposite bank is spasmodic. Germany Says St.

Georges Was Abandoned; Trying To Retake It BERLIN, Germany, Dec. 30. Military headquarters that a surprise attack by the French has compelled the Germans to abandon St. Georges, which the Teutons are now endeavoring to recapture. Severe storms and bitter cold have done damage in the positions on both sides in Belgium and rorthern France.

Germany is reticent and non-committal concerning the progress of the campaign in Poland, although continuing to assert in general terms that German victories are being won. Iowa Congressman Declares Japan Will Hold To Kiaochau And Islands WASHINGTON. 71. cc. 30.

Representative Henry Vollmer of Iowa, proposing today in the house that the United States prohibit exports of the munitions of war, said: "There is only ore nation whose national interests arc hopelessly opposed to ours. I do not hesitate to predict that Japan purposes not only to hold Kiaochau but the Pacific islands seized from Germany. Some day this issue must be tried out in the Pacific. Maybe it will be to our interest then to hare a powerful friend. "Britain's alliance with Japan bodes us ill.

Persons in close touch with legislation in Washington are inclined to believe that the legislature which convenes next February will have been by that time vested with ample power In the premises.

Should this occur it is difficult to see how the law-making body can escape giving the ladles the same rights now exclusively possessed by their lords and masters, for each and every of the political parties, including the sparse ly settled Bull Moose, preached adherence to the doctrine of equality in suffrage. The present situation in Congress is one which a clever parliamentarian can easily handle in ravor of the passage of the bill which has been introduced by Kuhio. "That autocratic body known as the committee of rules has reported out for consideration the proposed constitutional amendment for woman suffrage and its fate will be determined within a short time. In all probability the proposition will be defeated. Just the same, strange as it may appear at first hand, that very defeat will help the Hawaiian bill.

Many a backwoods congressman will have his objection to the national movement on the proositioii that woman suffrage is a question solely for local action. As Kuhio's bill is framed along these lines, it will naturally receive not only the support of the straight-out suffragettes but as well of the straddlers. In the Senatt is a large coterie of Southern solons who still believe that Thomas Jefferson's doctrines as to local self-government are by long odds wiser than some of those contained in the Holy Writ The northern comtingent of this august body contains a goodly proiortion of pronounced believers in woman suffrage. The combination can not, therefore, be teaten. Again there seems to be an inclina tion on the part of the present Congress to give to territorial and insular legislatures full sway in so far as local matters are concerned.

The Philippine bill is a goodly illustration 01 that fact. In short, the present is a psychological moment for woman suffrage in Hawaii, and prospects are more than bright. The following Is a copy of the bill as introduced by the delegate: "A bill granting to the legislature of the territory of Hawaii certain additional rights concerning qualification of voters within the territory. "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled: "Section 1. That in addition to oth er-powers granted by Congress, the legislature of the territory of Hawaii be and is hereby vested with the right to provide that all female citizens of the United States who possess the quauncauons now prescriDeo oy law for voters other than that of sex, shall have the right and be qualified to vote at every election held within the ter ritory of Hawaii, MOhE THAN ill by Inspector-in-Charge Richard L.

When the proposition of prevent- inc the influx of undesirable women into Hawaii was put up to Assistant District Attorney J. Wesley Thompson this morning, that official threw a new light on the matter with the state ment that women on the raainiana who are American citizens, and who come to Hawaii for the purpose of engaging in their illicit trade, are free to do so. and that there is no law to prevent this. This would also ap ply, he said, to American women com ing to Hawaii from Oriental or other foreien ports Mr. Thompson stated that action could, be taken only In cases where women are aliens.

Such action: he continued, would be taken by the immigration authorities. Doctor Wadman says that the Anti-Saloon League has taken no action in the matter, nor has any other organization. Interviews by him ith a number of prominent local residents, he declares, reveal a desire to have some action taken which will prevent the influx of these women. U. S.

"Section 3. This act shall take ef fect from and after its approval." It is known that Kuhio has con sulted with leaders of the Houk trained In congressional work, and believers in woman suffrage, with th object of having the bill passed during this session.

JOIN IN PROTEST ON APPEAL BILL Cablegram Sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Objeciihp to Pending Legislation Emphatic action was taken by' the Bar Association at its banquet last night in protest against the bill I bat recently passed the house practically abrogating the right of appeal from the territorial supreme court to the supreme court of the United Staes. The secretary was instructed to cable to the judiciary committee of the senate at Washington protesting against the bill and urging that it be defeated in the senate. The action last night was informal but it was considered that an early protest is desirable. The Bar Association will hold a general meeting on Monday afternoon and it is expected that simflar action will be taken. Forty membra of the association were present If st night, the largest 'number that ver attended one of the banquets.

f-Jhe function was held in the roof garden, pavilion of the Young Hotel. The social program was much -'en Joyed. Circuit Judge Ashford spoke on "The Bench" and City Attorr John W. Cathcart responded for fl'he Bar." Some informal talks were made. Chief Justice Robertson was master of ceremonies.
