Toward Suffrage.

The shortage of labor was under
discussion at a recent meeting OF
the Lincolnshire Chamber of Aeri-

pated went on record with the
drastic assertion that he did not see
why al women should not work.
He pointed out that OF his own

taken It upon herself to act as un-

for inaugurating this fashion. She

Addresses Long Note OH Policy
of Madrid to Kaiser.

Madrid, Dec 29.=The note ad-
dressed to Germany on the submarine
question by the Spanish government
reviews at length the policy of Madrid
from the time the first Spanish ship,
the Isidoro. was torpedoed in August,
1915. 1t declares that the Spanish
government has always maintained
that it was Illegal to destroy prizes as
is the constant practice of submarines
and that the cabinet also demanded
the observation of the Declaration of
London. notably Article so. which. it
maintained. submarines violate by
abandoning the crews of sunken ships
to the mercy of the waves far from
land.
The note further recalls the vigor
of the representation of the Spanish
government which, it says. sometimes
caused the Berlin government to be
surprised at the radical attitude #
Spain whose protests. it is held. have
been more energetic than those of any
other neutral state, even the United

Washington, Dec. 29.-Spain's ac-
tion toward the German submarine
campaign caused surprise here because
no such vigorous statement from Spain
had been expected. Spain's action,
nevertheless, is thought to have come
at an opportune time to add another
source of pressure on Germany in
what the state department considers
a most serious situation.
Norway, Sweden. Denmark and
Holland also have suffered disas-
trously from submarine activities, but

Gembloux two chiefs of the local

two other members of the organiza-

During a slave raid at Arlon,
forty-three employees of the local re-
