Argues for Suffrage.

Arguing for the establishment of suf-
frage In the District, Mr.. Keeley said
the people here do not appear to real
izs their duties as citizens, that they
would have to be taught these duties
Senator Works said he thought the
lax manner in which citizens through
out the country looked on their politi-
cal duties was a menace to the coun-
Try.
But the question here Is different
from that of other cities" continued
Senator Works. Either we must make
this city the capital Of the nation and
a national city. or we must mako 1t q
municipality with the government own
ing property here. We must make our
choice between these two positions We
must decide II the city is to be turned
over to a small portion Of the people
Of the country. though it is the Ma.
tional Capital
'T take sharp issue with you, Mr.
Kelley" said Representative Gard, "in
your contention that the people of the
District do not recognize their duties
as citizens. From personal observation
] believe just the contrary"
Mr. Keeley then qualified his state
ment, saying that perhaps many per-
sons here who might be said to be ii
public life" probably did have regard
to their public duties, but that he ha6
referred to the great mass Of worker,
in Washington.

VILLAINS Returned From Front.

D~EpEAGArcH, Aug. 7.-Ambassador
Morgenthau made most urgent efforts
to prevent Enver Pasha, the Turkish
Minister OF War. from sending French
and English civilians In ~Constantinople
to the Gallipoli Peninsula that the guns
Of the allied feet might fire on their
own non-combatants. His efforts did
not at first meet with success. but In
the end he managed to get those who
had been sent to the peninsula brought
back before any Of them had been
injured.
Wien the Ambassador learned Of
Enver Pasha's plan, conceived in ~
because, he alleged, the allied fleet had
bombarded open towns on the peninsula,
he t~elephoned N asked for an au-
dience. This was obtained with some
difficulty and Enver Pasha consented to
delay the order for three days. At
the end Of that time he refused to be
put OF longer. but did consent to send
but fifty civilians instead OF all that
the police could find in the capital.
AZ at first planned.
During the ensuing week, while this
band OF no~n-combatants was held In a
town on the peninsula which the allied
fleet vas likely TO lombard at any
time. Ambassador Morgenthau did
everything In his power to intercede in
their behalf. Al last he persuaded En-
Yer Pasha to have the civilians brought
back and they were. none of them
having been injured.

hour shifts without Sunday rest or half
holidays that the women who are at
present working In ammunition factories
are obliged to put up with. and we man
age In very possible way TO discourage
those who are either UNIT or obviously
mere amateurs.
The result Is that we have made a
most SUCCESSFUL appeal TO a strong mid
die and lower class OF women who have
hitherto been too shy to volunteer for
any work or who Rave been backward in
volunteering because they have not had
a suitable place where they might offer
their services. II IL really surprising
TO ind the great patriotism which these
women feel. In the majority of cases
they do not seem to care very much
about what money they will earn.
Many are glad In the absence Of Their
husbands to md employment as a mem
tai distraction. But there are wives and
sweethearts and sisters OF soldiers who
have Il strong feeling that they should
work and lay by n nest egg In case their
men hould come back from the war in
capacitated for work.
I'VE rave taken great precautions
that the employment Of women shall not
lead to the lowering of the standard of
mems wages. We do not want men to
return from the war to find that the
scale OF wages has been lowered by
women doing their work In the interval.
