1t is becoming evident that militancy is to be
the dividing issue between the National Woman
Suffrage Association and the Congressional
Womans Suffrage Union. The recent bcsieging
OF President Wilson has had the effect of bring
ing the issue sharply to the front and the leaders
are beginning to declare themselves. Mrs. O. H.
P Belmont and Mrs Alice Paul have not hestated
to announce themselves the side OF militancy,
while Mrs. Medill Mccormick and Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait oppose the methods that so seri-
ousy retarded and discredited the cause in Eng
land. 1t is Uncomfortable that the women who
have accomplished much by earnest efforts and
dignihed methods in this country will permit them
selves TO be drawn into campaign of frenzy and
hysteria that will result only in FORGETTING public
sympathy.

A man who in many respects was as
interesting a personality as any / ever
met in civil war days was o. ID. Ashley"
said the late Capt. Frederick c. Wagner
TO me at time when he was speaking of
some of his exciting experiences when
serving as the United States provost
marshal for the district of New York, at
the time of the draft riots in 1863 Mai
Ashley became president, / think. of the
old Wabash Railroad Company after the
war and he was also a prolific writer
He was a man of irrepressible energy and
seemed to succeed equally well in what
ever he undertook.
Il presume that / am one of the very
best persons now living who know where
and how he got his title of major 1
first knew him two or three years before
the civil war began. He had been a
very young man a member of the Boston
Stock Exchange, and i believe was at
one time president of that institution.
While living in Boston, he was elected
captain of a famous militia COMPANY
the name OF that company l have forgot
ten, but 1t was widely known as the
Boston Tigers 1t enjoyed a reputation
similar to that gained by the Richmond
other crack militia companies in the
United States
Maj Ashley was greatly excited at
the outbreak of the civil war. He Joined
with lie Grand G, Cannon in stimulating
enlistments at the beginning of the war.
and with Cannon. did as much as any
one man in New York to promote volun-
teeriEG
Maj. Ashley became convinced early
in the war that it would be Of long dura-
ton. He was not one OF those who
thought that the war would be ended in
ninety days He therefore worked out a
plan for supplementing the military Or
CARNATIONS with highly-trained volun-
influence and wealth and high profess
sional standing in New York for the pur-
pose of persuading them to join a volun-
teer organization which would submit
to discipline and would appear regularly
upon the drill field two or three times Il
week, or even oftener.
"A good many responded to the appeal
and he actually at one tint had four
hundred men. most of them older than
the average age of the volunteer soldiers,
in the organization. He secured muskets
and promised to drill the organization, for
his experience as captain of the Boston
Tigers qualified him for that work. He
was rejoiced when he persuaded John
Jacob Aston to join the organization.
MIR. Aston was elected lieutenant colonel
OF the battalion and in that way got his
title Of colonel. He was as regular in

Such things. however, serious as they
were. did not check the steady growth
Of the colonies.
1t was not yet questions Of self-gov-
eminent or OF the preservation OF their
peace that dominated their affairs; and
only those who observed how far-away
frontiers were being advanced and two
great nations being brought together for
reckoning face to face saw what was
the next. the very near. crisis in store
for the English in America
Through AL that time Of peace not
able drama was in fact preparing.
Slowly. but very surely English and
French were drawing nearer and nearer
within the continent-not only in the
North, but throughout all the length Of
the great Mississippi. Step by step the
French had descended the river from
their posts on the lakes: and while
peace reigned they had established posts
at its mouth and begun to make their
way northward from the Gulf.
So long ago as 1893 they had built a
stockade at Biloxi: in 100 they had
taken possession Of Mobile Bay; by 1i1s
they had established posts at Toulouse
(A1abama) and at Natchez. In his they
began to build at New Orleans. In ms
they captured and destroyed the Span
ish post at Pensacola.
BY 1722 there were 5000 Frenchmen by
the lower stretches of the great river:
and their trading boats were learning
all the shadows and currents of the
mighty waterway from end to end.
Meantime. in the North, they advanced
their power to Lake Champlain. and be-
gan the construction of a fort at Crown
