tiaued. Mrs. Harper continued:
We have now obtained enough equal
suffrage states to make our measure 4

Suad" a presidential candidate to de
clare for the federal amendment which
his party WIS TOO ooss-ridden to favor:

national legislation was difficult and
precarious." Abiding to how m1i1tary
coercion was necessary to make some
states ratify the fourteenth and M
teenth amendments, she continued:
THE Anthony amendme ent is repeti-
ton of the fifteenth, with the suostltu-
ton of the word sex for race, color or
previous condition of servitude. Before
it can become law it must be ratified by
the legislatures Of thirty-si states.
1T is hardly to be supposed that the
coerced states now will subscribe vol
unfairly to a principle which they re-
iected formerly. !" . Nothing but CO.
ercion made the fifteenth amendment
possible and what reason have we to
suppose that anything less than coer-
cion will pass the Anthony amend

VOLUNTEERS FAMILIES
CONTINUE TO NEED AID
Situation Brings Worry to Officials
of Citizens Welfare
Association.

The possibility of dependents of vol
unteers in the National Guard all over
the country, that is, men who have en-
listed in the militia after the mobliza-
tion order, not being taken care OF
under the provisions of the amended
army bill is causing worry among Off
Gals of the Citizens Welfare Associa
ton, the local guard relief body. The
sum of s2.O00,0OO has been appropriated ed
by Congress for relief of guardsmen $
dependents, but as things stand at
present, families of volunteers will con-
tinue to need public aid.
One local case especially stands out
1t is that of a family of six young
children and the mother, all living in
Georgetown. The husband deserted the
family two years ago, and up to re-
Gently the oldest boy, about twenty
years of age, had been supporting the
rest.
Shortly after the mobilization order
was issued he enlisted in the local Ma
tional Guard. upon the strength of haV-
ing been told that the family would re-
ceive care as long as he was in service
He had about come to the end of his re-
sources as a family provider. for he
was able to earn only 81 day. and the
so-called Opportunity appealed to him
as temporary means of relief.

Activity Both Ways.

IF the suffragists are to win their
fight for votes for women. both the fed
,eral and state campaigns must continue
unabated. in accordance with the pres
snt policy of Mrs. Brown. Only by
united action. directed toward both fed
eral and state legislation. may the ulti-
alate object he attained. she said.
When the last group of states was
won. in 1913 and 1914. the federal
amendment came into the immediate
foreground of national politics." Mrs.
Brown continued. There is no doubt it
IS gong to be passed before many
years. When it has been passed by
both houses Of Congress, however, the
fight has only just begun.
Not a woman will be enfranchised
until it is ratified by three-fourths of
all the states This means that it is of
the utmost Importance to strengthen
our state organizations. OF course, we
must &c on working as hard as ever
we can to secure the passage of the
federal amendment, but at the same
time we must try to win new states and
to prepare the states for ratifica ton.
we must go on working inside the
separate states. building up state or
ganizationS. and we must win more suf-
1rage states"

Unable to Get Education.

The next child. boy of sixteen. has
secured a position which pays only $3.50
a week, and the family can do but little
with that There are. in addition. five
more children. two girls of ten and four
years, and three boys of nine. seven and
two years Of age. The three older chill
drcn must go to school when it opens.
and the little girl of four wants to go
to kindergarten. The mother, however.
is unable to manage to make arrange
ments TO give them their education be
cause they lack necessary clothes to
make themselves presentabe to go to
school
The whole family needs clothes badly.
but cannot get then because money is
needed for food and other necessities.
The Citizens Welfare Association is
supporting them as far as possible. but
sons are urged to send in clothes or
sociation at 716 Munsey building for
further informa tion or to get ideas as
to how they may help.
Another case for relief is that of a
boy of sixteen. whose father is dead
and whose older brother is in the Ma :
tional Guard. He needs a position in
order to make money to support the
rest Of the family. He owns bicycle
and could at least do messenger work.
