SUFFRAGTSTS AND FOES
DIFFER AS TO DEFEAT
Take Different Views as to
Meaning of Setback Suffered
by Issue in Wisconsin.

A wide difference OF opinion prevailed
in the suffrage and anti-suffrage camps in
this city today regarding the probable
effect of the defeat of the woman suffrage
bill in the Wisconsin Legislature yester-
day. On the "anti" side, the ultimate de-
feat everywhere OF the votes for women
issue is foreseen, while on the suffrage
side victory is predicted despite the ap-
parent defeat for. say the suffragists.
I'VE must win, the setback is temporary"
Mrs. George Pierscl. leader of the Wo-
man Suffrage Party in this city, said she
was not discouraged, Woman suffrage
will eventually win; there can be no doubt
of that" she said. "These defeats are
temporary setbacks obstacles that can and
will be overcome. 1 am certain prejudice
has played large part In the defeat, II
defeat it can be called. and that this has
been the outgrowth of ignorance and self
interest. There is a certain element that
is opposed to womans suffrage because II
knows that when women get the ballot
many of It's selfish interests will be over
thrown and general betterment will re-
suit
Or. e. NJ. H. Moore was confident that
the setback would prove only temporary.
1T will only make suffragists strive all
the harder for their cause. which we all
know will succeed sooner or later" she
said. 1.-THE measure was defeated by
vote OF II to H. This is not overwhelm-

defeat OF the woman suffrage movement"
said Mrs. William Blrdsall. a prominent

FROM TRIPOLI TO THE TRENTINO
The Army of Veterans Regathered and Reded That Italy
Throws Into Wars Crucble-How the War Dogs Face
Each Other Across the Tyrolean Alps
By CHARLES M. CHAPLIN

attic On the other hand, the Italians have
one great advantage over Britain, for they
have the definite possibility before them of
robbing Poa of its terrors by cutting it off
from the land side, even though this may
not be accomplished for some time after
active -hostilities open.
The Mountain Problem
Many an Italian regards the struggle TO
come with a lamentable lightness. He fails
to realize that tens of thousands OF his coun-
trymen will leave their bleached bones in the
mountain Businesses of the Austrian Alps be-
fore the Italians can hope to see Vienna in
subsection, before they can even cut off the
"water-rats' at Pola. While a cursory glance
at the map might indicate that the road
along the level coast line would be an easy
method of INVASION a closer inspection will
snow the impossibtlity of such an advance
until the mountain heights to the north have
been enectually cleared of the Teuton forces.
otherwise the army moving along the shore
would be constantly threatened with flank
attacks on the part of the enemy descending
out OF the foothills, 1t is for this reason that
Italy has so carefully prepared large num-
bers of her troops for mountain fighting
Even with Austria beset as she is with the
RUSSIAN forces in Galicla and along the Hun
garian border to Bukowina she will be able
to, and has already, placed strong defensive
units In the Trent district, one of ItaIy's ''un-
redeemed" provinces which is thrust-a
mountain salient-for so miles down into the
northern frontier of Italy
Prior to the war Austria had prepared this
territory with great care against a possible
inroad by Italy, and from the time when it
became evident that the latent hostility of
her former ally might be reused into activity
at any moment, she has had large numbers of
men, several thousands in fact, busily occu-
pied In strengthening her existing chain of
eight tremendously fortified mountain fast
nesses. 1t is the. reduction of these which
Italy is likely to find costly There is no
certainty of course, about the defending
force which has been placed in this region.
But as the incompetent Austrian General
staff is now merely ornamental, and the iron
hands OF the Kaiser's advisers are directing
the military destinies of the eastern empire
1t is to be expected that sufficient forces are
now camping in the Trentno to stand off the
first attack at least.

Base Perversion of Worthy Sentiments

MO ONE doubts the honest impulses of
IL the Mayor in approving the Liberty Bell
junket. He is of a great mass of Citi-
Eens to whom the Bell is a symbol of Amer
lea, and when it is urged that the people
who will never have an opportunity to see
Il in Independence Hall be allowed to look
at it a freight car touring through the
country he is ready to send the Bell on it's
career OF inspiration.
There is more sentiment than sense in this
sort of pleading. II the arguments In sup
port of the jun<et are sound, then the Bell
should be on a continual tour of exhibition,
topping not three hours or even eleven
tours in a city, but remaining in each place
Z slntil every inhabitant had looked upon the
Z historic relic. Not the large cities alone
should receive it, but 1t should be taken to
the villages and hamlets from which the
cities are recruited so that the inspiration to
patriotism might cover the land to its re-
motest bounds.
The Councilmen anxious to make a trip
across the continent at public expense, did
not pursue their arguments to this ridicu
1ous extreme Instead, they capitalized the
sentiment of a most worthy and high
minded gentleman. and as result there will
be thoroughly unjustihable exploitation of
a sacred relic for the private enjoyment of
group of politicians. 1t is too bad, but It is
true

IN SALAD DAYS

Twas in my salad days. met;
There was certain charm about her.
I vividly remember yet
thought I could not do without her
I said twas in my salad days..
Before I'd written ode or ballad;
She'd nothing green about her ways
Yet she was very fond of salad.
Sometimes I took her out to dine
(The memory my fancy tickles);
She didn't care a fig for wine.
But dotted deeply on dill pickles.
A dear (yet inexpensve) she!
Shed listen to Liszt's oblgatos
While feasting upon celery,
On onions, beets and sliced tomatoes!
And Lettice was the maiden's name;
Twas very fitting, 1 confess 1t.
For lettuce is quite worthy fame
That is, If you know how to dress 1t.
And she, she knew the dmpled elf!
Her mode was usually supernal;
And Eettlce also dressed herself
In gowns of tender tint and vernal.
But our romance was put to rout
q have no doubt it a blessingO
When blunderlngy I burted out,
There's too much acid in the dressinBT
And while l scan, and while l plan,
In sonnet, lyric, ode and ballad,
Lettice is married to man
Who sows and raises things for salad!
