While Austro-German Front
West of Lutsk is Broken.

London One Of the most furious
battles Of the war is being waged on
the five-mile Pozieres-Longueval
front where the British and Germans
have been gripped in bloody strug-
gle for more than a week.
The English troops are continuing
to gain important ground against the
most desperate resistance yet faced
in any theatre. With their full weight
of guns and with thousands of train
ed reinforcements, the Germans are
contesting every inch of the blood
soaked territory.
The Germans have been completely
driven from the Delyille wood, for
est-fortress behind the German third
line of defense The British won the
last inch of ground in this vital posi-
ton by a night attack. The wood was
held by the famous Brandenburg
corps, which has distinguished itself
on every field from Warsaw TO Yer
dun, and it was against the trained
veterans that ~Kitchener's army of
clerks" scored its victory.
While the battle of the Somme is
continuing with methodical success

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. slead of

public address on the subject Of suf-

Iowa are not asking an untried thing.
Since they began this movement his
tory has marched on MANY PAGES. In

movement had been realized. The
speaker traced tho progress made since
Wyoming started the way in 1859. Now
near one quarter OF tho territory OF
the country is under equal suffrage
laws.
Hope Of Nation Lies in West
IN these western states" said Mrs.
Gait lies the hope Of the nation.
One fourth of the United States sena-
tors are chosen in states nv both
women and mon. No state that has
granted the suffrage has ever recon-
siiored its action. No country has ever
rApented giving votes to women. The

better-regulated working conditions
had been secured. and how the women
OF Oregon were now trying to achieve
the proper regulation Of wages Tor
women based on their service, and not
their sex. She likened the progress
made by women to relay race. Our
grandmothers had to fight to get
women into graded schools; our
mothers fought to secure for their
daughters college and university
training; 1t is UP to us in this genera
ton to see that women have the bal
lot
Mrs. Reynolds told Of the spirited
contest waged in New Jersey last fall,
and OF the defeat of suffrage. because
the fight was not so hot in her state,
Mrs. Reynolds thought Iowa women
were taking their contest too, calmly.
She told of the ballot for women In
Colorado, where she had lived, and or
the effects for the betterment of both
man and womankind. While she
thought all states might not feel the
need of woman suffrage as much as
do those where there are larger IN
dustrial centers, Mrs. Reynolds said the
granting Of suffrage to women IN any
state had it's effect on the general
status of the country.
Mrs. Reynolds appearance here was
her first in Iowa, but she is going to
work in this state until the June cleo
ton. She went to State Center today
for a meeting this afternoon, and re-
turns here for a meeting at o'clock
this evening at the LennoX Furnace
Company factory. At 1880 Wednes-
day she will address the carwarkers at

Her references to her early days IN
Iowa were interesting. She came to
this state when very tiny child One
of her oldest memories is OF prairie

made upon her youthful mind by an
election to which her father went
without her mother. The child Won
dered and questioned her parent. ana
from that day Mrs. Gait dates her
birth of an equal suffragist. All thru
the history of the movement the argu-
ment has been recurrent that women
do nc. want the votes
When young woman Mrs. Gait
started movement in Mason City to
dlsprove that She and a few friends
got a petition signed by all the women
of that city except ten. and in Charles
City they did as well. And that was
thirty years ago. admitted Mrs. Gait.
She added that between IS and 81 per
cent of the women of Iowa want the
vote today. lit is said women will not
exercise their privilege if they get it;
scarce 60 per cent of the men voters
go TO the polls on election day
Fallacy Of "Home" Argument.
~"There is no longer an honest reason
given by the average man for refusing
us the vote" said the speaker: they
rasorted to a subterfuge-'the place of
woman is the home That is the COM
mon cry: have heard it spoken by an
illnerate negro in Virginia, by the
prisoners in Sing Sing, and by cab

set apart one day wherein all women

York went almost crazy with scare.
and that was the end of that preju-
diced argument.
