Suffrage and Congress

THE cause of woman's suffrage. fought out at
i the polls in New Jersey yesterday, received
big boost in one direction when President Will
son. coincident with the announcement of his en-
gagement, declared that he intended to vote for
the cause" in his State, while his decision
to come into the open in favor OF the State extern
sion of the franchise was foreshadowed for a few
days by announcements that Secretary OF War
Garrison and the Presidents secretary, Mr.. Tu-
multy, both Jerseyites would vote that way at the
primary test. The women have kept Jersey in a
ferment for many months over this issue, and the
accession Of the President of the United States
was hailed as a notable gain.
Prominent Democrats are now quite generally
equal suffragists. But there is dividing line be-
tween them. President Wilson is for women SUI
frage but for it through local, or State instrument
talities. He would not have woman suffrage
through federal authority. The state governments,
under the American form of government, can
qualify women to vote as ten or more OF the forty
eight States have done. The federal government
could also grant the authority but there are stout
objections to its doing so.
Speaker of the house, Champ Clark, officially the
second Democrat, perhaps, under the admlnlstra-
ton year ago or whereabouts, declared himself
for woman suffrage but did not specify clearly
whether he would favor it by amendment to the
federal constitution. Ex-Secretary OF State Bryan
at nearly the same time pronounced himself in
favor Of equal suffrage.
Woman advocates of amending the federal con-
stitution fought their good fight before the last
congress. In the senate they were not very far
from the necessary two-thirds majority Presum-
ably they will take up the fight again this winter
President Wilson's championship OF equal suffrage
through state agencies, however, will naturally in
Auence many Democrats in public life and to that
extent check the progress of the cause by con
gressiona means 1t is improbable that the COM
ing congress- its time mortgaged fully for consid-
Grafton of numerous pressing questions, will assent
to the submission of a suffrage amendment.
All public men in congress from the ten States
that have woman suffrage, whether these men be
Democrats or Republicans, are, of course, for it
The Republicans, however, are generally opposed

for women.

Lieut.. W. C. Whitener, U. s. army,
who returned from Maui yesterday, said
that the efforts Of Col. Samuel i.
johnson, the adjutant- general Of the
Territory, have been rewarded with
great success, Three new companies of
the national guard rave been enlisted
at Paia, seventy-two men (this com.
pany was recruited and enlisted in
twenty-five hours); Waikiki, fifty men,
and Kahului, seventy two men. These
new companies, coupled with the old
companies, bring the strength of the m.
tiOnal guard up TO 40 enlisted men on
Maui, and are a great boost for the ma
tional guard as a whole, as at present
Hawaii has 100 men enlisted in the
Second Regiment, and Oahu 1900 en-.
listed, including, the Engineer Com,
pany, bringing the total strength of the
territorial troops up to 1895 enlisted
men, or just sixty Ave short Of 30O0. 1t
is expected that FIVE more companies
will be organized soon, bringing the ma.
tional guard up to a strength of three
regiments of infantry, one or two troops
Of cavalry, and an engineer company.
johnson Breaks Records
Colonel johnson broke all records in
the matter of organization when he or.
ganized and recruited the Paia company.
He started at four clock one after
noon and at two clock the next day
had raised a company of seventy.two
men, seventy of whom were signed up.
success in the organization of this
company also was due to Harry Bald
win, at the Paia Plantation, who started
dozen of his men working at once
with petitions. Colonel johnson is still
at Maui, where he is inspecting he old
companies | and l., which have a
strength of 100 and 1876 enlisted men,
respectively; also, he is busy locking
into sites for target ranges. Frank
Baldwin has granted the use Of large

There was great rejoicing on Maui
when Colonel Johnson received a radio
message from national guard headquar
tiers informing him of the success with
which the Hawaii rife team has met at
Jacksonville, Florida, and Immediately
.abled his congratulations to Sergeant
Evans and HO. Lieutenant Whitener
said yesterday that the achievements of
Sergeants Evans and Ho reflect glory
on the National Guard of Hawaii, and
if the Hawaii team should meet with
as great success at the finish Of the
shoot it should bring home the national
trophy.

Apparently there is no effective leadership for

Prohibition On An Island

4 a DESPATCH from St. Johns, Newfoundland
a says that the question Of prohibition of the
liquor traffic in that colony is the leading issue
today in it's politics. Both vets and drys have
launched campaign of speechmaking which gives
promise of being one of the most interesting ever
made in Newfoundland.
The government has arranged for an election
next month, when plebscte will be taken on
prohibition bill referred to the people by the last
Legislature.
The argument is advanced by the drys that if
the prohibition proposition carries, Newfoundland
will have the best chance for successful operation
of prohibition of any territory which has ever
adopted such a law. The colony is completely
surrounded by water which will make the impor
tation of liquor difficult.
The approval of forty per cent of the electorate
is necessary before the Prohibition Act can be-
come a law.

2,400 Out of 5000 Lost
in PrusSian Regiment

London, May 27.-The recital OF oc-
currerces At the front written by the
British Eyewitness" under date OF
May % and given out in London to-
day is devoted largely to the telling OF
minor incidents. The account deals
with comparatively small actions in
various parts of Flanders, and the
writer says the German losses lately
have been very heavy.
"A building in La Bassee used by the
Germans as . bathing establishment
was hit recently by one of our howtzer
shells while il was full OF German
officers" the eyewitness relates. "Be-
tween twenty and thirty of them were
killed or wounded.
"Not far from Ypres our anti-aircraft
guns brought down hostile aeroplane,
which fell headlong on a parapet OF the
German trenches within sight Of the
Frenh lines. Both the pilot and the
observer must have been instantly
killed. The French, noting that the
falling machine was exciting consider
able interest among the occupants of
the enemy's works, trained machine
guns on the spot and waited until
sufficient number of Germans had col
lected; then they opened fire on them"
Continuing, the eyewitness relates
how a detachment OF Germans, attempt
ing to make use of their deadly gas at
Ypres, were themselves suffocated by
this gas after French she'll had burst
the cylinder containing it.
Notable among the recent German
losses, the eyewitness asserts, were
those sustained by the 37th Prussian
Infantry in the action of May 1917.
This organization lost 2,400 out of 5000
men.
The Germans are still extracting the
utmost from the country they occupy.
Mention is made of one incident in con-
nection with the recent sporadic bonn
bardment Of Lens by the Allies. "Six
shells fell on the Lens station" the
writer says, land the town was fined
5000 marks $500 for each projectile,
or total of $4,000 marks $4,000, part
Of which was distributed among the
soldiers The ground for the fine was
the allegation that some OF the inhabi-
tants must have been in communication
with the enemies Of Germany, hence
the bOmbardment.
That some Of the enemy at least are
not enjoying themselves in Flanders is
shown BY the following message flung
into the British trenches:
1--WE are too few to attack, too many
to retire and too proud TO surrender,
but we all want to go home
"A few days ago a kite was flown
over our lines. On it was written:
Please send this back when the wind is
favorable. Wouldn't you like TO come
over here, as you have no more ships
left? Won't you give up soon? We
do not like it any longer
Similar overtures have been made
at different points on our lines"
