the events OF the last SIX years have
been pointing, and the at least tenn
porary accendancy Of the conservative
wing. The new organization does not
include any Of the women who We're
the pioneers in the woman's suffrage
movement in Germany. All have
either resigned or been forced out.
The woman's suffrage movement
in Germany began in 1896 Al that
time the women of Prussia had al
most no political rights. They could
neither hold nor attend political meet

kind was liable to instant dissolution

line. but had been able TO accomplish
little in the face of the police perse-
cution to which they were subjected.
The non-socialist women, however,
had made no move whatever along
these lines,

that something effects the entire COM
muntty and every man, woman and

; ton whose work benefits all. The
interests Of the community are so In
terwoven that their SUCCESS Ia de-
pendent upon one another, and the
board of trade as constant guide
directs public welfare as no other In
dividual organization can, and 1t d.
reefs every day.
Men. women and children, gener-
ally. in the community are familiar
with what the board of trade has al
ready done as In their daily walks
they see all about them factories.
which are constant monuments to the
boards activities and efforts to build

Hence the Telegram need not dwell
on that.
No organization can long survive
unless II has support, which means
more than personal effort. Money

pense necessary to operate the orr

people OF the community to build up

After three years OF "watchful

American troops into Mexico to cap

by Mr. Wilson'S whilom friend and
protege, General" Villa, who shot up
the town Of Columbus, n. M, killing
some sixteen Americans, soldiers and
civilians.
American soldiers, by order OF Gem
eral Pcrshing-and in violation of the
order OF President Wilson-crossed
into Mexico in pursuit OF Villa and
his gang. but because the troops were
inadcquately prepared for such IN
expedition, having no automobile sup
ply wagons. they were compelled to
return when almost In sight OF the
bandits.
President Wilson, on receiving the
news from New Mexico, instructed
that Carranza's ambassador in Wash

permission for American troops to
pursue villa and his band. Soon af-
