 SUFFRAGE NEWS
CA. G. Porritt.)


 Not many public meetings will be arrangements are being made for great activity just as soon as the New Year arrives. Mrs. H. H. Knox of New Canaan, who is chairman of Fairfield County in the Stale Associa- tion is arranging for a meeting of the county workers to be held in Green wich on Thursday, May 7th. At this meeting there will be representatives from the local leagues all over the county. which is particularly we'll or ganized for suffrage. On the 9th, in preparation for the county meeting there will be an open meeting of the equal franchise league of New Canaan in the afternoon and a, similar meet ing in the evening at Norwalk. In the last Legislature Fairfield County had a. majority of it's representatives in favor of woman suffrage. and Mrs. Knox is hoping that there will be an equally good showing in the House of Representatives at Hartford in the coming session.
 The fame of Mrs T. N. Hepburn's s debates with the ladies who have been brought into Connecticut to oppose woman suffrage on the platform has gone far beyond the limits of the state and it seems likely that there will be a considerable demand for Mrs. Hep burns services as a debater. On Wednesday, January 5th Mrs Hep burn is to meet in debate Mrs. Will liam Force Scott in New York. Mrs. Hepburn does this in response to an invitation from the equal suffrage league of New York. Later Mrs. Hep burn will probably act in Q, similar capacity on behalf of the Just Govern ment League of Maryland and also for other associations. not wholly devoted to suffrage which desire to have de- bates between those in favor of and. those opposed to the granting of votes for women.
 Miss Alice Paul of the Congress siona1 Union at Washington was in Hartford a few days ago, and gave an interesting account Of the activities of her organization
 One project of which Miss Paul spoke with enthusiasm was the conn ing deputation of Democratic women who are to wait on President Wilson on January 9th. This is the associa- ton of women that was organized by Secretary McAdoo before the election of 1912=the Wilson and Marshall As sociation. They are led by Mrs. George A Armes, and in the election campaign they worked hard and un- remittingIy for the success of the Democratic candidates. They were publicly thanked by the campaign managers ana now they cT0 u ap- proach President Wilson and ask his aid in obtaining their own enfran- chisement and self-government. Sure ly the President who is so concerned about. self government for the Fih- pinos, cannot turn down the request of these women to. whom he is. a1- ready indebted.
 In the summer of 1915 the Nati onaI Woman Voters Association will hold convention at San Francisco. This will be so timed as to make possible a visit to the exposition for all the delegates. Mrs. William Kent who is one of the leaders of the voting wo- men belongs to California, and is in charge of the kwomen's booth at the Panama Exposition.

NEW FOJJNDLAND RESERVES IN ENGLAND

This draft, consisting of 16O men, brings the quota of naval re- servists from this colony up ts0 1000. The original maximum fixed sbv the admiralty was only 500 but the activ- ity of the German fleet in the North Sea resulted in a call for more men.
 Another lot of 25O men is now awaiting transport. The recruits at present are on the drill ship Ealypso

THE SHORT SESSION
 OF CONGRESS

The short session of Congress is largely occupied with the regular ap- propriations. Few of the beates. get into the papers If a member blows up and shakes his fist in the face of a fellow representative, the newspa- pers give him a. headline. But an or dinary debate over the army, the na- wy, pensions or the pork barrel, ex- cites less interest than a Y. M. c. A, basket ball game.
 The Congressmen go down to Wash ington firmly resolved on economy and a liberal set of appropriations for their own district. The people be- hind them always shout for, economy, and rivers and harbors and public buildings for themselves.
 The country ought to be vital1y in terested in the doings of the short session. Congress would favor real economy if only they met some real pressure in favor of it. For one man who writes them criticiings extrava.- gance,. there are a dozen who are de- manding special favors for them selves, or their home localities. It is perhaps no wonder that Congress has never fully realized that the peo- pie as a whole do not sanction the steady decrease in appropriations.
