SUFFRACETTES SENTENCED TO PENAL SERVITUDE FOR FIVE
 YEARS IN DUBLIN TODAY
Mrs. Mary Leigh and Miss Gladys Evans Both Charged With Attempting to Burn Theatre Royal to Prevent
 Premier Speaking There Home Rule

Dublin. Aug Mrs. Mary Leigh and Miss Gladys Evans, suffragettes. were sentenced today to five years penal servitude each for attempting to burn the Theatre Royal here July IS to prevent Premier Asquith from speaking there the evening after ward.
 Miss Mark Baker was sentenced to seven months imprisonment as an ac- complice. e The sentences pronounced against Mrs. Leigh and Miss Evans were by far the severest imposed for suffra- gette demonstrations since the votes for women" campaigners adopted militant tactics several years ago. Some hundreds of women have re- ceived terms of from a few days up to two or three months in jail. for window smashing, participation in riots, assaults on cabinet members and kindred offenses, but the present occasion is the first in which they have been treated as actual criminals.
 The authorities incline to congratu- late themselves that the example made of Mrs. Leigh and Miss Evans will have an intimidating effect upon the suffragette militants. Aside from it's severity they doubt if it will be possible for the suffragettes to make heroineS of the two Dublin prisoners, as they have done in the past of those who have served jail sentences.
 The women have generally gone to jail by the score or so at a time and kept up their spirits, through rea- lixation of their strength in numbers by hunger strikes, refusal to perform prison tasks and sometimes by forci- ble resistance of their custodians so effectively that the government has many times released them before the expiration of their terms through

 Under English pen regulations. however, Mrs. Leigh and Miss Evans will be hardly seen or heard from during the entire five years of their Imprisonment and by the time their sentences expire the officials are hopeful that militant suffragetteism will be a thing of the past.
 The police,. however, are not so sure the resort to extreme measures will prove as effective as the judicial authorities anticipate. They fear the suffragettes will increase their ac- tivities in proportion to the rigor with which the courts deal with them and that deaths may be looked for in the near future.

We the church of the United Breth-

express our disapproval of the effort
now being made in Ohio to fasten the
license system of control of the liquor
traffic, through the constitutional con-
vention notm convened at Columbus.

commonwealth
We believe that all license systems
are wrong i'm principal and instead OF
regulating the liquor business, just

evils upon the state.
We earnestly pray that such efforts
Of the liquor trust may be defeated,
and that we shall be free from the
guilt of thrusting this, the most de-
structive and dreadful curse of our
civilization. upon our posterlty, by
binding upon them any form Of liquor
license.
(Signed) J. W. Miles, Pastor.
The above resolution was passed

to bear upon their representatives, at
this convention, in matters pertaining
to the liquor traffic and it's licensing.
Revival services are being held this
week at this church and are conduct
ed by the pastor, Rev. j. w. Miles.
There were large assemblies at both
