mier.
Then. pausing with brief refer
ence to the fact that Gen. Joffre

added:
There is a complete agreement
between the Allies as to the ends
TO be pursued In the Balkans. That
means that Serbia may be assured
that her Independence Is regarded
as an essential object by her larger
allies"
The prime minister answered
briefly the critics who asserted that
the Allies moved too tardily to tho
aid OF the Serbs.
When the Allies are reproached
for being too late in helping Ser
bia, II must be remembered that to
the last moment we had reason to
believe that Greece would acknowl-
edge her treaty obligations and act
accordingly" he said.
The prime minister said the out

co-Flanders front since April. and

awaited by the British public and
1t was evident that ne designed 1t

After lauding the work of the

troops were concentrated on CALI

Whether Asquith meant to refer to
tho entire body or only TO those
actually at the battle front near
Suvla bay and Sedd-Ul-Bahr was not
indicated.
The Germans have not gained a

At no time in the history of man suf-

America. We shall teach them the
sacredness Of the ballot We shall
teach them that to sell a vote or to

their opposition. They are still stand

varied them much during the two
years. They are, first, women do not
want to vote; second, woman suffrage
In operation in twelve western states
has not brought good results.
We therefore set out to answer these
two chief objections as best we could.
We urged the women In villages, towns
and cities to canvass among women
and to learn how they regarded the
proposal to give them vote. In all the
campaigns to enfranchise men there
has never been any phase which has
illustrated devotion to a principle so
clearly as this canvass Of the women.
They have taken their baby carriages
and gone out of an afternoon, stopping
house by house to make their queries.
