The voters approval OF this call for

dietary Committee to-day. Women
should have voice. she declared, IN
the question Of peace or war.
Miss Addams begged the Democratic
majority of the committee not 20 let
the states rights theory stand u the
way OF the national suffrage amend
ment She pointed out that the woman
voters mad upheld the ideals Of the
Democratic party, and. further. that the
child labor bill, violation Of states
rights, had been passed by a Demo-
cratic Congress.
"Our peace party" said Miss Ad-
dams, "ls composed Of women who are
interested primarily in peace and suf-
frage because We believe that women
ought 10 have the chance to vote on
the great subject of peace or war. or.
rather, should vote for the men who
decide on policy of peace or war.
THE question, Of course, az | under
stand it, before this committee now is
the problem of a Federal amendment,
and one can easily understand that a
party committed TO states rights. as
is the Democratic party, finds it rather
difficult 10 consider the Federal amend
ment as such.
"Some of Us arc very discouraged at
the prospect of one state after another
referring the matter to a referendum.
In New Mexico il would take twenty
FIVE years to change the constitution in
order 70 give suffrage to women. In
many Of the other states it could not be
done without delay Of three or four
years. This method merely allows the

Washington, D. C., July 18.-Per- the French and English forces when the allies "big push" was inausur- ated, is described in today's war geo. raphy bulletin of the National Geo. raphy society as follows:
 ''The important railway center of Peronne, rich with historic associa- tions of ancient and medieval France, was a town of less than 5000 people at the outbreak of the war, and 1t mad little industrial or commercial signi- fcance, but for nearly three hundred years it bore an honOred nom de guerre, La Pucelle, CThe Impregna- ble), this distinction having been ac- corded it in 1536 when the courageous woman, Marie Foure, also known as Cathrine de Polk, successfully defend ed it against the imperial forces of Charles V, commanded by the count of Nassau. The title impregnable' was dropped by the city in 1915, how ever, for in that year it was captured by the Duke of Wellington. Its name stands high among the cities of COur- age in the FrancO-Germa nWar, dur Ing which 1t Wlthstood deStructlVe bombardment of twelve days and only capitulated because the civil popula,- tion was being decimated by an cpl demic of smallpox.

 'Peronne was the scene of another act of treachery against a French rul- CT five hundred years later when the bourgeois king, Louis XI, trusting to the diplomacy of gold, visited Charles the Bold. Two days after Louis arrival in Peronne on mis- sion of cOnciliation, there came the news of supposed massacre or the bishop and ducal governor Of LleSe. The rumor was false, but Charles, suspecting Louis of double dealing, threw the king in prison and kept nm in a cell until he consented to slgn the Treaty of Peronne,' insurlng all Flanders freedom from the 1urlsdic- ton of the parlement in Paris. This treaty was the most hTniliating cpl sode in Louis life, for the people or Picardy taught their tame jays and magpies to cry 'PerOnne' and Fer cite in derision of the sovereign; Thoroughly mortified, Louis letter mined to find a scapegOat and Cafdln- al Jean Balue was the unhappy Vlc- tim.

New York have been severely cen- sured. The excuse for such acts is the old adage, An Ounce of Precaution Is better than a Pound of Cure. Better be careful than sorrowful.
 Infantile paralysis stretches it's deadly hand in the direction of little children. It comes like a thief in the night and no one sees it's approach. Tn New York an average of twenty five deaths a day visited little children under five years of age. Because the young and helpless are the ones ex- posed to the dangers of the disease the local Board of Health wants it impressed upon the minds of mothers and fathers that every precautiOn must be taken to safeguard the health of their youngsters. At the first sign of undue symptoms the family physi- clan should be called. There should be no delay. Nipped in the bud, any sickness may be curtailed. Allowed to go on without medical attention in it's incipient stages any trivial disease will eventually exact a heavy debt. And this is the way with. infantile paralysis. It either kills or mains for life. Once it gets a secure grip on child it means death or it means that the little one must go through life with some portion of it's body para 1yzed As dreadful as such thoughts are it is better to ponder them now and act cautiously than to dismiss all thoughts of danger and become reck- less Follow the adYiee of the Board of Health.

AMERICANS STAND
 FIRE WITH THE BEST
Battling With British in France Endure Heaviest BOulbardnent

British Headquarters, France, July 2.-American citizens have seen hot ter fighting in the last two weeks than any American since the AppomatoX campaign. They have endured as heavy shell fire as the German guns ever directed at the British front and know what it was to charge into the German trenches with bayOnet and bomb in pouring rain through the mud in the small hours of the morn ing
 There are more Americans scattered among Canadian battalions than most people realize. Some of these were living in Canada when the war began; some crossed the border and enlisted for the sake of being in a "scrap;" some felt it a duty to strike a blow for the Allies.
 If a man took the oath and put on a uniform a Canadian recruiting agent did not ordinarily bother, if he were a sound man, which side of the bor- der he came from. Besides the re- cruit sometimes had a bad memory on that score himself What part of Canada are you from ?" a British off, cer asked a Canadian private

\ Party in the Sore and Yellow Leaf
(NcW York Tines.)


 In 1914 the prohibition party n0noi- mated William Sulzcr for governor of New York. It's leaders are now trv- ing to get Henry Ford to accept it's presidential nomination. The prohibi tiOn party has now become a political sdvcnturer; it's state corresponds to that of the Greenback-Labor party just before it's demise, when it too went about the country hunting for masks to hide behind and 'barrels'' to keep it fed
 Once the prohibition party was a power in the land not great power. but enough of power to trouble the dreams of the republican leaders, St. Johns spirited canvass in 1884 St. Cne of the things that defeated Blaine TWO years later the republican party found the prohibitionists a rock in their path. In 1888, led by General Clinton B. Fisk, and even in 1892. when General John Bidwell was it's candidate, it was force to be Teckoned with. Now it is the wreck CT party, driven even to mask it's lack of votes behind candidates SUD- ported by David Lamar, behind the tcandidacy of a self-cOnfessed corrup- zionist who was not even a member of exNe party, and at last to try and seducc a millionaire into furnishing 1t With bogus appearance of strength
 What has caused the downfall of the prohibition party? The success of prohibition. As prohibition has added victory to victory. the prohibition party has fallen from importance to nothingness and from responsibility to disgrace, until now it is a political Edga bond. All the importance it now has is for trading purposes, like the Irving Hall democracy of this city for several years before it died a miser- able death. Every new victory for prohibition drives another nail in the coffin of the prohibition party. Young men no longer join it's ranks, and the cid men keep it up, some of them from mere force of habit, some of them for advertising purposes on the Chautauqua circuit and elsewhere. The signs that have always preceded the extinction of party are thick about the prohibition party. If it had have found many good and sincere men to mourn it. None will mourn if now, and 1t cannot die too soon; for it's purpose is gone, it's morality is dubious, and there is no room in poli- ties for derelicts. It has become an unedifying old reprobate, and should kegone.

that country have sent warnings to Americans not to make further ship mentS.
 According to the information re- ceived here by Hugh Clark lead ing New York philatelist, new censor ship regulations have been put into effect under which no more stamps may be sent out from England ex- ceDt through ''icensed British dealers"
 American philatelists have not been informed what constitutes h- censed'' stamp dealer in England. Heretofore stamp dealers in that country have not required licenses in order to trade in the postage labels.
 It is not believed here that the new censorship has anything to do with the antipathy which the British phiIate1ic trade and the British public generally have had against trading in stamps of countries enemy to the En- tente Allies. There has been no of fcial ban against importing German, Austrian and Turkish stamps into England.
