when villa troops fell back be-

followed them for about five miles
into Mexico, having three running
fights with them and they finally
made stand with their entire force
and stopped Tompkins' advance and
he returned here. We had one cor

leans dropped considerable material
and loot that they had gotten in town.

leaving about 1000 on the river east
of Boea Grande. From his spies In

were bout four troops here with three
machine guns. Three of our troops
being out he took this opportunity to
attack.
He intended capturing the town,
looting the bank and killing all

wounded, seven killed. Lieutenant
Benson was shot in the arm. Captain
Williams. adjutant, received a slight

Attractive Reception.

Z Most attractive in all its appoint
ments was the reception and tea
given from 8 to o'clock Friday
afternoon in the Red Cross room Of
the Masonic temple in honor Of Mrs.
Guilford Dudley, a noted suffrage
leader, of Nashville, Tenn.
Upon the arrival of the guests
fruit punch was refreshingly served
by Mrs. Ray Cuppet, assisted by Miss
Mabel. Carr and Miss Virginia Brent.
Mrs. olandus West presented the
speaker, Mrs. Dudley, who very gra-
ciously gave a very interesting talk
on suffrage and the good that could
arrive from 1t. Much interest was
manifested In the lecture both by
the suffragists and anti-suffragists,
who heard the subject most intelli-
gently discussed by Mrs. Dudley.
At the close Of the lecture ices
were served from an attractive table
which had for Its floral decorations
Marguerites,, the yellow color and
flower of the suffragist. Mrs. Charles
Smiley and Mrs. Lucius Hoge presid-
ed and were assisted by Mrs. Frank
L. Grove. Mrs. John Hawker New
Ion, Mrs. Frank Haymaker, Miss
Mary Osborn. Miss Rebecca Ruhl
and Miss Genevieve Harrison. About
.l50 guests attended. :

FOOLS" well, IL we are such FOOLS"
Mrs. Dudley smilingly remarked, at
is because God made us so as to
match men,"
Some DIRECTORS say that II women
are given the vote they will not use
It. One good way to Judge the future
is by things Of the past. In those
states In which women have the bal
lot, they vote and their vote con-
stantly increases. The secretary Of
state Of Wyoming, where women
have had suffrage the last forty nine
years. reports that ninety per cent Of
the women exercise their franchise
privilege. In Colorado from seventy
five to eighty per cent of the women
avail themselves of the ballot.
There is unnecessary fear on the
part of some, the speaker declared,
as to the negro vote. West Virginia
has something like 100000 male
white voters at present and only 22.-
900 male negro voters, the latter be-
ing SO far outnumbered as to make
any fear of negro supremacy out Of
the question. Some women directors
declare they would not like to go to
the polls and vote because they might
meet their cooks there. They meet
their cooks in their own kitchens.
however, and considerably moro often
than they would at the polls.
Already Answered.
Women should not vote because
they cannot go to war. some object.
The European war now raging cer-
talnly contradicts that assertion.
Women have taken their part in this
war, not only at tho front but In the
factories and fields, railroads. street
cars and other places at home. And
in the end, 1t is the woman who bears
the heaviest burden OF war.
Another objection often raised Is
that women should not be in poll
TICS" Women. however,. arc In poll
tics anyway. The woman Of the home
engages in political question every
time she turns on the splgot In her
kitchen, every time she orders the
food and other supplies for her home.
every time she sends hr children out
to school.
Some men ana women assert, said
Mrs. Dudley. that women are not sat
isfied with the ballot in states where
they are enfranchised.
Why is 1t, then. she asked, do they
not repeal the equal suffrage laws
In those states?
Women righteously resent the fact
that they have no vote. that they are
legally classed. so far as suffrage Is
concerned, with the alien. the GRIM
inal. the pauper, the idiot and the
insane. They believe they are enti-
tied to have the ballot and they are
determined to get It eventually. They
need 1t to enforce equality Of oppor-
tunity, to obtain equal pay for equal
work. to look after guardianship and
property rights. child labor problems.
civic questions, education progress
and other things in which woman Is
particularly interested.
