Several New Recruits.
When the band started on its journey
today several new recruits were along,
including Miss Helene Bergmark of Mar
bic, Col; Mrs. w. B. Rulon, Mrs. w. I.
Williams of this city; Miss Virginia
Patschke of Lebanon, Ia. Mrs. VIII
liams, while a resident of Wyoming, vot-
ed for the late president Mckinley.
Not q person opposed the entry of the
conquering army into Philadelphia Sun
day. Instead, thousands of mats were
thrown into the air. Yells of "Votes Ior
women!' and The city's yours!" came
from the assem- bled thousands.
And thus for the second time in Ameri-
can history an American general crossed
the Delaware to victory and to triumph.
Both generals were fighting against taxa
ton without representation, because they
believed it to be tyranny. Washington s
name has gone down in history. Who
knows but Gen Jones may do the
same?
Up from Market street wharf the
army marched. Out Market street to
the sound Of the bugle and the cheers
of the neODIes the general led the
Forty big bluecOatS guided and pro-
tected the little band of women along
the city streets. Thousands lined the
way. Always could be heard the cheers
one another for glance at the plucky
suffragettes who are willing to do any
thing for the cause they think is right.
Everywhere in the crowd as the
hikers marched through the citys
streets favorable comment on the move
ments of the suffrage army was heard
'Let Them Vote" Is Cry.
Let them vote, if they want to. They
deserve it more than the men," shouted
gray-haired old man standing along
the curbStone as the maTchers passed
him by.
aren't they the game girls?' shouted
another man, who looked as though he
might have wife and eight or nine
children at home.

was nothing but friendly comment for
Gen. Jones and her cause
And here's bit Of news. Philadelphia
found out yesterday that Gen. Jones is
good looking. RumOr had it. it seems.
that the leader of the suffragist forces
was of that class of maidens usually
termed old And when the general
with her American and suffrage flags in
streets yesterday more than one man,
and even many woman whispered,
why. the generals good looking:
OF course. Elizabeth Aldrich and Phoebe
Mrs. j. E. Boldt, the ''insurgent, all of
whom would assuredly not be termed
bad looking. came in for a lot OF atten-
ton. The little corporal Miss Martha
Klatschen, who was SO tired she could
hardly drag along, was cheered Justify by
the crowd when she was pointed out, and
it was seen she wasn't an inch over five
feet and might be one or two inches un-
der.
Asks Man for Match.
Near Bridgeboro yesterday the army
struck a. mill dam. There rations were
apportioned and everybody fell to. Even
the war correspondents and correspond
entesses fell to. Gen. Jones, Private Boidt
and Corp. Klatschken built the cleverest
little campfire imaginable. But Just
when the fire was ready to be lighted, by
gum, the general had to ask man for d
match.
All day long automobile parties darted
along the road to see the oncoming hosts.
Looked to me like 1.G03 an hour, said
Phoebe Hawn, when a car full of very
young men scooted up, slowed UP and
unwillingly crept away.
Phoebe it will be remembered, is the
lass vino was popped to by W. w.
Gator, the Princeton freshman, on the
road from Princeton to Trenton accord
ing to report.
.'Are you engaged to the Princeton boy,
Phoebe?" asked Gen. Jones just before
the army reached Camden.
II am most certainly not said Miss
Hawn with stamp of her army shoe. So
the engagement must be off.
