Paris, Sept. l9.-The honors OF the air
are about even In the, campaign so far.
Perhaps a little advantage lies with the
invaders. But the Zeppelin, the great
German dirigibles, have proved of little
use except in bomb throwing.
The English and French have learned
a great deal about the enemies move
ments with their own dirigible balloons,
although these have not been used for
bomb-throwing. The aeroplane service
Of both sides is so highly developed that
the surprise attack has been practically
eliminated from warfare.
Sir John French in an Official report
praises his Reroplane squadron and de-
clares that they have kept him con-
stantly informed Of the movements of
the Germans. The French fast mono
planes make long journeys to Germany
and the German Taubes penetrate far
into the interior of France.
The war has proved ehat an aeroplane
flying a nile high is practically safe
from both rifles and artillery. Not one
hit Is made in 5000 or 1000 shots. and

Granted that suffrage has entered the

Next there arises the question, what
shall be our election policy?
The policy OF the Congressional Union
Is based on the fact that the party in
power at Washington-at this moment
the Democratic party-is responsible for
the fate Of the suffrage amendment Just
as ii is considered responsible for ac-
ton on the tariff. the currently, or the
trust question. II is based on the fact
that our government is a government by
party-that the personal opinion of the
individual counts for little when in op-
position to the party position. 1t rec

The Final Question.
We come, then. to the nnal question.
To what voting constituency can we APP
peal for support? What constituency VIII
show by It's vote that Il disapproyes OF
the Democratic suffrage record? This
brings US inevitably 10 the woman's
vote in the West. There lies our
strength.
We have hardly begun to realize the
power Of this vote. We talk OF the irish
vote, the Catholic vote. the Jewish vote,
attribute to each an immense power.
But far greater is the power to AFFECT
national legislation possessed by the wo-
mans vote. This is a great latent power
to which we have never appealed. Now,
for the first time. We ask women to
stand by women to end this sixty years
of struggle.
The ballot is a tool which its possessoE
should use for the highest purpose, and
the greatest purpose to which the women
Of the weBt can put their ballot IL TO

over All other issues-the tarin, cur
rency, trust legislation, Panama tolls
sink into insignihcance beside II. No
woman can make a higher use Of her
vote than TO cast II for the extension
Of suffrage over the whole country. And
there is no question that the women's
vote can accomplish this end. II 20

II suffrage leaders in suffrage States
believe that indirect influence and an
unbiased public opinion and non
partisanship in politics are more effec-
tive in securing good candidates than
actually helping to vote for them at the
primaries, they believe exactly what
anti-suffragists believe is woman's true
relation to the State and to man in
politics-a Just critic, a fair adviser and
a true representative OF broad humanity
that needs no particular party or theory
for its expression. And Buffragists should
remember that when man casts his

. to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable TO TIE Washington Herald
London, Sept. l9-Seven thousand gal
Ions Of gasoline, 800 rifles and important
plans of defense have been found by
the police at Croydon Hall, near Duns-
ter Somerset, the residence of Count
Conrad Hochberg. a German
The count disappeared when war was
declared and he sent a telegram to his
foreign valet to blow up the place. !"
The message was handed to the police,
who seized the mansion, which was found
d be magnihcently furnished and to
contain rare collection of art treas
ures. The entire property is valued at
$4,000.
The history Of Croydon Hall is inter
esting. Five or six years ago the count
purchased a plot of land. which at the
time did not seem to be very desirable,
for II was exposed TO the Bristol Chan
mel, and difflcult OF access. . ..
The new owner Of the land said that
he wished to build a hunting box, and
nothing seemed more natural in the
heart Of the Devon and Somerset, the
stag hunting country.
The hunting box was built on the
top of a hill facing the channel No ship
or aircraft could pass that way unob-
served, and no one could climb any of
the three roads leading to the place
without being observed by the inhabit-
ants.
The cost of the hunting box was
about 10000. When it was finished Il
was thought that the owner would hunt,
but he did not do so. He went away
and when he returned. he brought with
him many foreign servants and friends
and one Engiishman. The latter was
said to be an ex-soldier. who acted aa
private secretary at a high salary.

conclusion he states that the work
