splendid new course near Potsdam.
Pending the beginning of operations,
the fund was on deposit with the Dres-
dener Bank of Berlin when war was
declared. The money was sequestrated
and now has been invested by order of
its trustees in German war loan se-
curities. Sir Edward Goschen was hon
orary president of the club. Many of
its English members are now in the

10000 Irish Recruits

The total number of recruits from
the three southern provinces of Ire
land had up to the end of March
amounted to 10000 men, and of these
nearly half come from Dublin, Cork
and the other large towns. Recruiting
has scarcely touched the agricultural
districts. The farmers admit frankly
they are making large profits out of
the war, and they and their sons do
not enlist. In the cities the recruits
are drawn mostly from the laboring
class.

Serbians' Marching Song

The Serbian soldiers marching
songs are composed by the men of the
ranks ON the Homeric rather than the
modern variety hall plan. A Serbian
officer has rendered into English one
of the most popular songs, song of
exultation over victory, as follows:
"The Swabos came right up to Ralya
But no frather, ira, la lalya,
Hey, how was that9
Yoy, why was that?
Rashko Pol they won It forget,
For the Serbians they met.
Hey, how was that's
Yoy, why was that9
Now they know, the Swabo bruders,
How the Serb receives intruders
Hey, this is why,

WOMEN DO USE THE VOTE.

The Woman's Journal, to answer
the anti-suffrage argument that
women do dot use the vote when they
have it, says:
"At the presidential election in
Arizona in November, 1912, when
women could not vote, the total vote
cast was 23,722. At the gubernator-
ial election in November, 1914, when
women did vote, the total vote cast
was 81 ,007.
I'm like manner, ia Kansas in
1912, the presidential vote was $685.
444. In 1914 the gubernatorlal vote
was $50, 2O6.
"Oregon, in 1912, cast 1877, 040
votes; in 1914 it cast 2l0, 566 votes.
"At the gubernatoral election of
1910 10 California, the last general
election at which men alone voted,
the vote was 3S5, 713. In 1914, at
the gubernatorial election, with
women voting, it was 926, $50.
''In Washington, at the 1918 cleo
ton, the vote for governor was &c.,
141. Women were enfranchised in
1911, and the vote In November,
1914, was 345,279
"These are the latest five states in
which women have had an opportun
ity to vote at a general election. The
difference between the vote before
and after equal suffrage should put
an end to all arguments that women
do not use the vote"

New Auto Law Is Valid.

In the opinion of Attorney General
Peterson, the new automobile
license law increasing the license fees
of dealers and automobile owners is
not revenue measure and therefore
the fact that it originated ia the
senate will not affect its validity. The
attorney general holds that the new
act is properly police measure, the
raising of revenue hereunder being
merely incidental. Similar acts have
been construed in like manner by the
courts in other states.
