SUGGESTION BY MRS. BUCK
It Relates to Those Whose Ideas Are Worth While
 On Suffrage.
(From Mrs. John H. Buck, Press Chairman, Representing The Con necticut Association Opposed
 To Woman Suffrage.)

If, instead of hearing Sarah Bern hardt on Suffrage, and Florence Nightingale on Suffrage. the wom- ans Journal would tell us what MT Asquith, Queen Victoria, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Glad stone, Herbert Spencer, and Judges of the Supreme Court had to say on that question, it would be more ger mane to the discussion. Sarah Bern hardt on acting; Florence Nighttn- gale on nursing, Mary Johnson on literature and Jane Addams on pril- anthropy might be very interesting but apparently none of these ladies are profound students of government and what we need is teachers in that department To give their views in solemn headlines is just about as sen sible as though the Woman's Jour nal were to public the views of MT. Gladstone on nursing, and the Judges of the Supreme Court on acting. What we want is competent opinions from those tos whom the science of govern ment is not chart1ess sea.

KAISER HER NAME,
 NO REST IN LONDON

Boston, Oct. 2-Ejected from a, London hotel and heetored by mob after, suspicion as to her nationality had been aroused by her name on the register, Mrs William Kaiser of New ark, N. J., was glad to be in Boston today. She arrived on the Arabic from Liverpool.
 She had been travelling with g. party of twenty-five from New York and vicinity and made all haste to get to England after the war had started. Everything went we'll until a, servant in a hotel noticed the name of Mrs. William Kaiser on a trunk. He promptly called his fellow servants and the baggage was dem o1ished.
 In one of the trunks the men found some German newspapers the party had collected on their way through Germany. The police were informed. While the Americans were at dinner the room was entered by soldiers and the entire number placed under arrest and subjected to an examination. Every trunk was opened. In many of them were German newspapers telling of victories to their arms. These were seized, given into the hands of a mob gathered outside and burned.
