BEST TO ARM FOR WAR

THE United States is next in line for
attack by Germany II she wins in this
war" said Miss Christobel Pankhurst,
the English militant suffragette, who was
in Washington yesterday TO address the
suffragists of this city on THE English
Suffrage Movement"
The best protection the United States
can have against an attack by the Ger
mans is the victory OF the allies she
continued. II consider the recent war
talk Of Germany invading Canada very
vital to this country. Whether big
army or navy will help you avoid this
evil is a question 1 would rather not 60
into. But one Of your own leaders, George
washington, has given you a good maxim
to follow, In times Of peace prepare for
war"
Addresses Society Women.

Union for Woman Suffrage and sew
eral hundred prominent society women
of Washington, in the residence OF Mrs
John J. White, 20Os Massachusetts, ave-
nue., yesterday afternoon. Miss Pank.
hurst again referred to the war.
'I believe war Is really the outcome
Of an exclusively male government" she
said. The countries which are most
warlike and brutal are those where men
have most power and women are re-
garded as inferior beings.
"The love OF peace enters where wom-
en- have power. But the love Of peace
must be universal in every country be-
! fore you can lay down your arms OF
stop preparedness for war"
In referring to the miltancy OF the
English suffragists. Miss Pankhursi
hinted that, although II has ceased dur
ing the war Il would be renewed with
former vigor n. at the close OF the war.
the vote Is still refused them.
The spacious rooms of Mrs. Whites
home were filled. and scores OF eager
women crowded the corridors and recep-
ton halls striving to catch one word. or
even to get a fleeting glimpse of the
famous militant suffragette.
Suffrage II n Certainty.
The vote for the women Of America
Is a certainty" she said. Nothing can
prevent It now. We have been taught the
hideous doctrine that the woman is IN
ferior to the man. but the men have
failed in government and although theS
won't admit It, they know that the women
are coming to their rescue And when
we have won the vote we win not be
too severe with the men for their fall
ures, but will forget the past and AID
them to achieve success"

Enormous Grain Yjelds

French horticulturists are paving a
great deal OF attention at present to
possible methods of cultivation of
grain crops to increase the yield. In
stances have already been worked out
where 20 seeds of grain yielded an
increase of over 10000 within a per.
iod of one year. The principle is
simple. 1t consists in preparing the
seed bed in widely spaced lines on
mellow land. At the end of two months
the tufts springing from each grain
are divided and replanted. Finally
earth is hoed up about the new plants
in such manner as to provoke a
growth from all points brought into
intimate contact with the soil. Each
of the numerous shoots bears an ear.
The methods were practiced by the
Chinese centuries ago and the prin-
ciple was worked out experimentally
in England as early as 1776. An AL
gerian colonist has been planting
wheat and oats in the same fields for
five years without an application of
manure. He makes his burrows 36
inches apart, and plants the seeds
therein at distance of 20 inches
from each other. He harrows con-
stantly. During the five years he has
averaged 1900 pounds of oats per
acre and 1900 of wheat, while a neigh
boris yield under ordinary practice
has been a scant 500 pounds of oats
and 500 Of wheat.
