MOTOR TRUCK FOR FIRE DEPT.
Equipment Could BE Put on Motor
Basis for $1,000

The board of city commissioners
has been considering the purchase
of motor truck for the fire depart
ment for some time. On different
occasions statesmen have appeared
before the board but a majority of
the members are still opposed to any
such move, including Mayor Mich
OILS. The horse power department is
becoming antiquated in the present
motor age, and moreover, it is un-
economical, when 1t is considered
that the present department could
be motorized at cost of $1,000 net,
as the team could be sold for $400.
The present annual upkeep and
maintenance of the department costs
the city $602.3S, as it did in the
past year
The equipment in use would be
mounted on an automobile chassis |
A heavy chassis with a high power
ed engine would cost $1,000. Con-
sidering the runs made by the de-
partment, the upkeep of a motor
truck would be comparatively small

been one of the pluclly workers for the federal suffrage amendment. She appeared before the judiciary com mittee of the house, to plead for it, as a voter, a few months ago, and she rleaded in vain
 There are so many other women who have been driven to the same conclusion as Miss Todd. We must finish this suffrage fight and have it over before We can have real de- mocracv under our flag, before any of us have a chance to contribute our share to the commonwealth under which we live. The contribution of women is as valuable as that of men. There is no reason why it should be scorned as it has been by the present administration for the last four years. We are out to defeat the democratic administration on suffrage alone-be- cause we feel that, to women, Suf- frage is paramount, and ideas such as President Wilson has concerning wo- men, must pass away before real democracy can be born"

The au- dience was the most enthusiastic po- litical gathering that has ever been seen here and the sentiment seemed to be rot only for Campbell, but for the whole state and county ticket.
 George R. FIill candidate for state senator, introduced the speakers, Henry L. Eads, candidate for congress and Prof H. E. Mathews. candidate for superintendent of public instruc- tion, also opened their campaigns and were greeted with enthusiasm. Both made excellent addresses.
 Campbell arraigned the present ad- nlinistration and pointed out that the unrest that has been caused by mai administration, is dangerous to the worker as well as to the employer He denied the canard that he is an enemy of the worker and pointed 10 his record which proves to the con- trary.

Miss Vivian Pierce, organizer for the woman's party, was the speaker at a special meeting of the Woman's Trade Union league at Trades Council Hall, 23S East Washington, yesterday afternoon. Miss Pierce declared that she would leave the full arraignment of the democratic party in regard to justice to women to Miss Helen Todd, the hlilliant speaker who will be heard for the woman's party at the stadium next Wednesday night.
 But the whole history of Helen Todd herself" said Miss Pierce, illustrates the stages through which so many women who are in the fight for social betterment pass, to arrive at the conclusion that for the women of this country suffrage must come first; We must get that problem out of :he way before we really have a voice in government. Until all have voice none have a voice. Miss Todd was forced to this conclusion through a series of compelling circumstances.
 As a girl she gave up school teach ing because of her desire to help solve the terrible problem of poverey that she had been face to face with the slum schools of Chicago. She became a worker at Hull House with Miss Jane Addams and had her share in the upbuilding of that great social institution. But Miss Todd realized that she and her co-Workers were but scratching the surface. She be- came a worker for the state, hoping as factory inspector that she might really correct the inequalities under which she saw women and children working. It was during this period that a Chicago official laughed at her and a petition signed by thousands of women that she had presented to remedy a wrong. You women,' said the politician. are no more important than mice; you have no political value sssyrpl
 Miss Todd" said the speaker, "nev- CT forgot those words. It carried her ou- If the unequal fight 10 better social conditions into the fight for suffrage, and took her to every part of the country-thrOugh the victories of California and Washington and the failures of New York Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. But it was the Texas battle for g, referendum that carried Miss Todd into the ranks ot the federal suffrage workers Miss Todd campaigned the state of Texas She knew those southern womer wanted the vote. The question was to convince the southern men. In z brilliant appeal before the Texas leg islature she asked that suffrage be referred to the states. That suffrage referendum was lost by one vote.
 Tt was Miss Todd's last state cam paign. I want to see the women o this country free in my own life time I want to be one of those to make th' new fight for a better civilization re Eardless of dollars and cents stan dards.' she says. Miss Food has since

Gerard Cominu Home

BERLIN. Sept. 23, (Via London)- James W. Gerard. the American am- bassador here. tentatively has re- served passage on the Scandinavian American line steamer Frederick VIII, sailing from Copenhagen on Septem- Der 2S. Mrs Gerard will sail on the Frederick VIII, but it is still uncertain whether the ambassador will be able to take a vacation in the United States now.
 The matter is believed to depend on the developments in the German po- litical situation within the next few days and whether Washington desires the ambassador to take his vacation at that time.

 Count Apponyi a few days ago re- ferred to the vacant ambassadorship in a speech in the house of deputies, in which he said:
 We all expect that suggestion of peace will come eventually from across the ocean. When that time ar rives, it will be unfortunate if we do not find ourselves represented there. Certain steps already have been taken by the American aduinistration hint ing it would be pleased to see the monarchy again represented in Wash ington.
 How does the foreign office expect to solve this problem? And does it not find it awkward that in times like these we are not represented ade- quately in the greatest neutral coun- try"

 "A famous French Canadian battal ion, having as it's objective the larger part of Courcelette, behaved with the greatest skill and gallantry. On their left Halifax battalion co-operated brilliantly in the capture of the rest of the village. A Canadian light infantry battalion together with a Montreal bat talion at the same time captured the line of trenches to the west and estab- liShed a strong position.
 Thus, within litle more than 12 hours the Canadians had captured the whole of the German defensive positions on a wide front and to a depth of from 1000 to 2,000 yards. This was accom-
