WOMAN suEFRAoe PoLITIcs

The American public is rather inclined to the notion that women, like hereditary monarchs, should be su- pcror to partisan politics It may be foolish preju- dice; and yet the fact is obvious that the astonishing progress made by the suffrage thus far has been accomplished by ignoring party lines and appeal. ing to basic principles of citizenship.
 Recently the suffrage leaders have shown a marked disposition to play politics" in their campaign for ma donwde suffrage Their latest move is to declare war the Democratic congressman Of the nine suffrage states because the national Democratic party will not champion their plan for a suffrage amendment to the federal constitution.
 Whether not the thirteen Democratic congress- men whose seats threatened by the deserve reelection their fitness had better be determined on other grounds.
 Many sincere friends woman suffrage are grieved to the leaders deliberately antagonizng any party. They gain nothing by such action, and may set the cause back for years Moreover, male are convinced that the principle of enfranchisement by era action is itself wrong that suffrage state issue and that is unwise and improper enfranchse thS of any that state is ready to take the step voluntarily.

RUSSIA FOR THE JEWS

Can it be that Russia, of all nations, is to be a Promised Land for the Jews?
 For the first time in history Jewish officers are com manding in the Russian army. And also for the first time perhaps the Jews in the ranks are fighting not unwilling slaves for master as patriots for their fatherland.
 The reason for these Hebrews martial spirit is ob. vous They hope for citizenship, with full civil rights they hope for the abolition of the pale that prsoned aliens their land; they hope for security of life and property for political equality with their neighbors for religious tolerance and personal respect
 The government has, in effect promised these things It is the government that winked at the Kshinef and permitted the ritual murder persecution at Kev, and has again again famed the flames of peasant hostility. And yet is not the same War, though hell, has certain celestial qualities For one thing 1t makes nation tolerant within its bor desr revealing the pettiness of personal and political preiudloes genuine national spirit clarifies the air and fuses even hostile elements And Russia ap pears before the world admirable than ever

WAR PROPHECY
step voluntarily

On August 30 Count Berstorf German ambas sador at Washington, declared: "The war won The coalition has been defeated in Europe German defeat on land is out of the question. The aims of the German general stan have attained The allies have been badly and suddenly worsted that Ger many is free to withdraw has begun to do great numbers of men to ward off the Russian invasion"
 In view of recent events, this announcement seems to have been at least premature.
 The German ambassadors rather humilating fail ure a war prophet points moral Prophetic ven lures extremely hazardous struggle such mag ntude, where the elements that may combine to make victory or defeat numerous and complex
 Mems judgment. too, is least of all to be trusted when it matters of such moment them Each prophet unconscousy reads in the destiny his hope dictates. Wise men will try to avoid wild suesses regarding the outcome of contest whose end no one foresee and will await calmly as they can, the natural denouement of the drama.

THE pRooREss OF rHE WAR

Neither group of allies yet be said to have won or lost But it begins if the Germanic alliance is doomed.
 AustriaHunsary's defense is broken; she seems to have little strength spirit for last stand against Russia and can give her ally assistance And as far as Germany is concerned the of the past week tend to convince onookers that nothing but miracle can save her from final defeat
 The retreat of the German armies after their tri- umphant progress toward Paris has not been over whelming disaster But it has destroyed the German soldiers belief in their invinoibty It has broken the prestige of German mritarsm in the eyes of the worc and driven fear from the hearts of the allies Every fighter against the Teuton millions knows that Ger man soldiers are merely flesh and blood and like themselves subject to exhaustion dsoouragement and fear they know that German officers in spite of their superb training and traditions, not supemen; they do not believe that Kaiser Wilhelm is another Frederick the Great
 So. even if the German armies form again on favor able ground and the German line stands firm filings back tbe allies and starts another march toward Paris, its morals win be weakened and its strength lessened while the allies will possess the advantage of confident well equipped armies fighting for their in friendly and appaudng country and reinforced until their nu mercal strength s equal superior to that of the in yaders
 Moreover the Germans have lost their most de csive battle-the fight against time. They lost three weeks al Liege They lost three weeks more in tho
 utless plunge toward Paris and the heartbFeaKng re treat Their aggressive power lessens with the lapse every day
 Meanwhile the French have tardiy got all thel war forces into field and are drilling recruits by tn hundred thousands the English have poured big armie into France and Belgium and are steadily drawing rein
