SUFFRAGISTS DECLARE
WAR ON GOVERNMENT
British Premier Refuses to Pro-
pose Equality for Sexes

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Forty suffragists
interviewed Premier Asquith in Down
ing street today and attempted by
threats of renewal of hostilities to
obtain a pledge that the government
would undertake at the next session of
parliament to pass a bill giving the
suffrage to both sexes.
Asquith told the women that he stood.
as always. against woman suffrage be-
cause he thought it would not be for
the good of the state.
He added that the women had a
remedy in their own hands. The gov
ernment would leave the house of COM
mons free to amend the manhood fran
chise bill to extend the franchise to
women if they were able to persuade a
majority of parliament to adopt their
cause.
At subsequent meeting the suffra-
gists declared war on the government.
They purpose to inaugurate war of
demonstration in Parliament square,
November 81. and the militant mem
bers promise that women will be there
in thousands to fight for their rights.

Disabled Veterans
Resent SANDERS
By the Chronicle

Editor The Call: AT the last
regular meeting of Unity post,
G. A. R., held at Veterans
home, California, a resolution
was unanimously adopted heart
ily indorsing the sentiments ex-
pressed by Lincoln, Meade and
Garfield posts of your city re-
garding the outrageous ISLANDERS
cast on the old soldiers of the
civil war by the San Francisco
Chronicle of recent date.
1t was owing to the brave eff
forts of said old veterans that
made it possible for all copper
heads like the editor of the San
Francisco Chronicle to live and
thrive in this country.
Had the said editor paid
visit to the Veterans home and
seen some 0UO or /UU veterans,
all bearing wounds received dur
ing that memorable conflict, he
would have more carefully con-
sidered the subject before writ
ing such a slur upon so worthy
a body of men.
Be it further resolved that we
ask every veteran to close his
subscription to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle and use his best
endeavors among his friends to
have the Chronicle relegated to
the waste basket, where it prop
erly belongs.
