Suffs and Ants Cast Differences

OLD GLORY CUTS DIFFERENCES

n The parade's the thing!
Society and club activities for the
afternoon were at a. standstill, every
thing giving way for Omaha's big pa
triotic demonstrations.
ssN The women were not tosbe outdone
by their husbands, fathers and BROTH
ers, so they marched sturdily,, along,
demonstrating their loyalty to our
puntry and flag, as we'll as their
hen folks. r. j.
N Suffrage and anti-suffrage lines
Esre broken for the. nonce Women
opposed to the granting of suffrage
ito their own fair, sex walked side
by side with the fardent advocates
Irrespective of the pronunciamento
credited to the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage in the
east. While individual ants took part
in similar parade in New York, the
board issued the following statement,
according to the Woman's IournaE
With strict consistency to their. prin-
ciples, the anti-suffragists refused to
march," 1t sneered at the women
who were guilty of marching like
men" and declared women can serve
their country without initiating men"
Affection for "Old Glory" super
sedes all other differences of opinion,
at least as far as Omaha women are
concerned, it has been demonstrated.

BOYS CAN ENLIST
OF FREE WILL
New Army Bill Makes Their
Consent Unneces-
sary

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-Two
steps remained today-both OF them
believed perfunctory by big army
egislators-for the completion Of a
law which will empower tho United
States to enlist iRte military service
boys under 21 without the consent,
or against the protect of their par
ents.
These are acceptance by the
house CT the conference report on
the general army bill and signing Of
the bill by the president If either
the president or the house should
determine TO prevent such a law
becoming effective. they inUst reject
the whole land defense program.
House conferees have agreed 10
support the .neceure. President
Wilson recently announced he would
not try 10 prevent the army bill be-
coming law.
The bill, II II becomes law, will
permit boys Of Is TO enlist in either
the regular army or The guard Once
in. they are subject to call TO the
colorS for seven years, even II they
complete their active enlistment in
three years. II the boy enlists in
the National Guard, and an emer-
gency like the Mexican situation
arises, he may be drafted into the
service OF the United States, becom-
ing at once a member OF the regular
federal forces
Senator Ia Toilette today drafted
a bill which he says not only will
prevent such enlistments, hut which
will mako criminal misrepresenta-
ton by recruiting officers in obtain
ing cnlistments.
