great 'get-together" dinner in the main
dining room of the Hotel Patten. The
event was the first of the many social
functions given for the visitors from
other states attending the sessions of
the conference.
Good fellowship characterized the
event. While tie speeches were in a
happy vein and entirely spontaneous
there was an underlying note of Sc
robustness, revealing the fact that the
speakers were representative of the
thinking women of America today.
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge struck the
keynote when she declared: Let us
hope that women are ready to relin-
quish the pedestal of meek chivalry,
come out of their harems, tear away
the wells of ignorance and false mod
esty and take their places in the
world with men,"
Mrs. Rogers H. Bacon, of New
York City, chairman of the national
vacation committee, said, among other
things: Imagination, ideals and in
spiration-the allies of women. Imag-
nation makes a world for each one of
us, makes for beauty of life and leads
us directly to our ideals. Ideals and
inspiration keep our hearts full of the
vision of hope"
Speaking of "The New Woman, -
Miss Mary Prayer also brought out
the thought that womankind today
has a new conception of service. eve
must realize that life is full and rich,
said the speaker, "if we are to become
efficient"
Seated at the speakers table were
the following: Miss Ernestine Noa,

MRS. LAMAR OPPOSED
BY ATLANTA CHAPTER

The suffrage question threatens to
make the race of Mrs. Walter D. La
mar, of Macon, state president of the
United Daughters of the Condeferacy,
for the president generalship of that
organization one of the liveliest con-
tests ever engaged in by the Georgia
chapters.
Mrs. Lamar is pronounced anti
suffragist. Now, she will face the
opposition of the suffragists in her
campaign for the highest Office in the
United Daughters of the Confederacy.
An Atlanta exchange says: Suffra-
.gist members of the Atlanta chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
have declared that they are not de-
maGding a candidate, but they do want
one who is not so set against suffrage

a likely rival for Mrs. Lamar, they
have spoken most of Mrs. j. A. Roun-
savile, of Rome, who is known as a
brilliant clubwoman. She has not
made known whether she would ac-
,cept the candidacy, if urged, but it is
generally believd that she would con-
slider it.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lamar is
supported by hundreds of members OF
the United Daughters of the Confed-
-eracy, who are not concerned as to
whether she is anti-suffragist and her
friends are confident she will have no
trouble in winning. She has been in
dorsed by the Atlanta chapter, and in

THE HAGUE, Holland. May IA
fine example of Dutch energy and de-
termination, combined with readiness
to meet new conditions, has been
brought to the front in Holland since
the outbreak of the war in the person
of Cornelis J. X. van Aalst the organ

This is not a trading concern but n
national institution founded to meet
and overcome difficulties placed in the
way of Dutch commerce by the dec

European allies on the one side and

the other.
1t was found necessary in the first
days of the war crisis to form a
central institution to supervise Dutch
commerce in order to prevent Holland
falling unwittingly into difficulties
which might involve her in the world

EMILY C. MDOUGAL WRITES
AN OPEN LETTER

To Members of the Georgia Legisla-
ture. To the Members of the
Press and to You, Sirs.
Greeting: The equal suffrage party
of Georgia believing that the right of
citizens of this state to vote shall not
be denied or abridged on account of
SEX" desires to place before you, our
plea for our own enfranchisement.
We feel that you can not Justly de-
prive US of our voice in the admins
tration of the affairs of the govern
mlan,t which we are tared to maintain,
and to whose laws we are held amen
able. In respectfully asking your ia
vorable consideration of this question,
which we are not permitted to decide
for ourselves, we are not asking for
the adoption of any partisan issue,
nor for any untried experiment.
In twelve states, women are enjoy
ing the free use of the ballot and from
each of these states through her
press, her legislatures, her governors,
senators, clergymen, judges, represen-
tatives and chief educators the state
ment is sent forth that only good from
. the enfranchisement of women.
There have been anonymous writer's
] who have distributed misrepresenta-
lions of the facts, but no two men or
women in all these states will assert
over their own names and addresses
that equal suffrage has produced any
bad results. The evils predicted, have
not come to pass, the benefits claimed
for it have been secured or are in pro-
cess of development
Every person knows that the en-,
reimbursement of the women of the
South will enormously increase white
suprema'y. Quoting the United
States census of 1914 we find the pro-
portion of white women to negro
women and of white women to the
whole negro population as follows.
There are 8,7SS,9O1 white women i'll
the South, and 4,316,565 negro women,
less than half-and the white women
of the South outnumber the entire
negro poulation by 494,627. In Geor-
gia there are 110,59O more white
women than negro women.
Every person knows that the en-
reimbursement of women is inevitable.
Everybody realizes that the progress
of woman suffrage like all the great
movements in the Advancement of the
human race, profound, irresistible and
vital-is seemingly beyond the power
of any human agency to retard or con-
troll

HOW FRENCHMAN
 PHOTOGRAPHS ENEMY

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 PARIS, Feb. 12-An artist of LII lustration serving in the trenches in the Argonne tells now the Germans were lured into allowing him to obtain valuable photograph of their posi- tions in trenches fifteen yards distant from the French. The French com mander desired a sketch or photograph which would disclose the German position. It was perilous even to peep over the French trenches, with the Germans so close. If they were good humored fellows and might not trouble them, but If they were Prus- sians. he said, they would probably respond with hand grenades.
 He ventured to find out by breaking the silence with a snatch of German song:
 'Drunter in Unterland. Eli! da ist's so wunderschoon"
 There was silence a moment, then a voice in the German trenches replied.
 "Ei! do ist's so wunderschon, Da mocht ich Jager sein."
 'Morgen, Kamarade!" then other heads appeared.
 The moment appeared propitions, and the French artist raised his cam era above the trench.
 Photographer" he asked.
 "Ja! ia!" they replied.
 The camera was sent upon it's tri- pod. and the picture taken. The artist jumped back into his trench, while the Germans cried "Danke schonl"

GALWAY A BASE

 DUBLIN, Feb. 12-The admiralty has decided to make Galway a base of costal patrol boats and mine sweep- ers' sixteen of which are expected to arrive at that port in a few days Warnings have been issued by the authorities to the inhabitants of the west coast instructing them what to do in case of a raid and this has caused some comment, as hitherto it was believed that the west coast of Ireland was free from this risk
 A story has been received in Gal. way from a resident on the Sligo coast to the effect that a few days ago through powerful glasses he saw two cruisers pursuing a submarine. which he could see diving. The pres ence of German submarines at that place seems impossible and no further confirmation of the story has been re. ceived.

GEORGE SUFFERING
 FROM TRAILITTS

Conditions on the Chisana trail out from Mccarthy appear to be extreme ly variable these days according to a letter received by Judge Bunnell from George Goshaw of Chisana City. Go shaw writes that awhile ago he took out an old man with frozen feet to Mccarthy and was three weeks mak- ing the round trip. Then he made another trip and was seven days go- ing out over the trail, five of which was spent on the glacier, stormbound. He made the return to Chisana City, over the same route, in exactly if. teen hours in favorable weather and under favorable travelling conditions Fairbanks News-Miner.

SAYS RECORDERS M U ST FILE
 STATISTICS

United States Attorney Roth, oJ the Fourth division, has rendered an poinlon in regard to the vital statis. tics law passed two years ago by the Territorial Legislature. It covers the fees to be charged and as to whether or not recorders are compelled to their work.
 The territorial law provides that every recorder shall record births. marriages and deaths. For births and deaths the recorder is allowed to charge the government a fee of one dollar, and for the filing of mar riage certificates. the person perform ing the ceremony Is required to col lect one dollar for filing fee, which Is to be turned over to the recorder.
 One of the regulations governing recorders, handed down by the At torney-General, is that no record shall be filed unless a fee of S1.5O is col lected, and this seemed to conflict with the territorial act, and was one of the things upon whic was wished an opinion.
 In his opinion. Mir. Roth advised that the territorial legislature, by the organic act. had no authority to au- thorize recorders to charge fees a. gainst the United States, and there fore the recorder could not collect fees for the filing of birth and death certificates, nor will the official be held by the government to account for such fees.
 For the filing of marriage certif- cates the recorder is authorized to col. feet a fee of one dollar, and in the opinion of Mir. Roth. the government cannot hold the official to account for more than that sum.
 Before the matter is settled def nitely, it is probable that the attor. ney-general will be asked to rule upon the question.

HUSk|ES GO T0 NEW
 YORK

When young Belmont and Iselin left
 Fairbanks week ago for their home in New York, they took out with them four sourdough dogs which will make their homes from now on back east. They will no longer howl to an Arc tic moon or mush over the long trails of the far North, but will live in style with men to look after their "eats" regularly and take care of their ken. nels.
 These dogs, which went out by stage with their new masters, two with Morgan Belmont and two with Charles O. Iselin, Jr., are for the most part well known here, and were with the boys on their big hunt Mike, a leader, was owned for years by Bert Hansen, and when he was a deputy marshal mushed all over the interior. He is huskie, getting along in years, and a fine old fellow. The boys in- tend to give him a good home for the balance of his days, having be- come very much attached to him.
 Kid, another huskie, was formerly owned sby Billy Gorham, the jeweler, and every dog musher in these parts knows him. Then there was Brown ie, of Cinema, about two-thirds pure bred huskie. His antecedents are unknown. The fourth dog the boys called Dawson, for they picked him up there last August enroute to Fair banks. He was a mere pup, but proved to be a good musher, and went with the sleds all through the McKin- ley district. He Is also mostly hus- kie.
 Iselin Is quite a dog fancier. Att the Iselin country home he has an even hundred beagle hounds, import ed from the Old Country, together with two kennel keepers, whose sole business it Is to look after the dogs. Before leaving here he talked some of taking back huskie dogs for breed ing purposes with the idea of later sending back to Alaska a superior strain of huslSies. However, unless he found another dog on the coast to suit him, he gave up the plan.-Fair- banks News-Miner.

 One of the most distinguished vio- linists of France. who was married only one month before the beginning of the war, said to his bride on leaving for the front that if any misfortune happened to him, he would arrange to let her know it in advance of the off, cial notification.
 Weeks and months went by, without any bad news, and the bride almost had forgotten the singular statement made by her husband in the emotion of separation, when on Sunday morn ing, January 24, she felt an irresistible desire to play a certain melody that her husband Remi was particularly fond of. She opened the case, took out the violin and color left her cheeks. Two of the strings were broken, the Fri" and the mi" q understand" she stammered and staggered to a chair.

GREAT BR|TA|N's
 MONROE DOCTRINE

tBy Associated Press Correspondenee)
 LONDON, Feb. 12-Dr. Vaughn Cor nish, an eminent geographer who has been making a special study of the historical and physical geography oi the present war. points out that, like he United States, Great Britain has a Monroe Doctrine.
 "The power of Great Britain in the world" he says, depends upon her being mistress of the Atlantic commu- nications of western Europe. Brit aims Monroe Doctrine, therefore, means that the acquisition of terri tory by other nations on the coasts or islands of western Europe would be casus belli. Norway, which has long since ceased to be a great pow CT, has fine harbors within three hunderd miles of Scotland, and a power acquiring these would be able to turn our position on the north.
 The harbors of Portugal and her islands, Madeira. Cape Verde and the Azores, are important positions on our routes to Egypt, South Africa and the Caribbean. Too little attention has been paid to the advantages which we would derive in the war from Por- tugal's throwing in her lot with us"
