Women Vote
to Send Sons
to Trenches

MELBOURNE, Nov. /. = The
women of Australia voted almost
as readily to send their sons and
sweethearts to war as did the
male voters.
An analysis of incomplete re-
turns of the referendum on con-
scription today showed that early
reports that the measure was de-
feated because of the women's
vote were untrue.
While the percentage of women
who voted against CONSUMPTION
was slightly larger than the per-
centage of men, the difference
was not marked enough to turn
the tide.

he stands on firm foundation.
The many years spent in making home
stead out of the mountain wilderness have
taught him to fear no man or group of men;
yet they also have given him warm sympathy
with his fellow men.
The only issue between Sheriff Longmrc

Griffith has spent his entire life working
hard, DOING THINGS.
There isn't soft fiber in his knotty frame.
He's built close to the ground. He never did
have close acquaintance with air castles.
He has deep regard for the laws Of men
as well as for the laws of nature He believes
both are made to be kept to the letter.
And without mud singing or personal bit
terness, he is making the active, aggressive en-
forcement of the law the one issue of his cam
paign.

SHOOTS GIRL AT MASQUE BALL
JUST 4 PLAIN MAN
WHO DOES THINGS

The biggest obstacle in the way of the cleo
ton Of John Griffith as sheriff of Pierce
county is, in the opinion of The Times, one
OF the most important reasons why he should
be elected 1t is this:
John Griffith never has been in the po-
litical limelight.
He has never been professional job
hunter.
This is the first time, during the 30-odd
years he has lived in Pierce county, that he
has run for office.
He was hauled from the firesde of private
citizenship to fill place on party ticket.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that some Of
our professional politicians are asking: "Who
is this John Griffith anyway! We never
heard of him before
Griffith is just a simple everyday MAN
WITH A BACKBONE
= He has never sought the limelight.
. He does not seek the endorsement of any
faction or clique or machine.
He prefers to stand On his own feet. And

PROTEST AGAINST
 ENGLAND'S ACTION
Taft's Letter Reveals That Britain Has Refused to Permit Hospital
 Supplies to Reach TeutOns..

Washington, May 1.-The Amer ican government is preparing to pro- test to Great Britain against it's policy of refusing to allow the shipment of hospital supplies by the American Red Cross to Germany and her allies.
 Secretary Lansing received letter today from former President Taft, chairman of the central committee of the Red Cross, urging such action, and it was learned tonight that the mat ter will be taken up with the British government in the near future.
 MT. Taft's letter reveals for the first time that England has formally declined to issue permit for the ship ment of supplies for the central pow CTS except when intended for Amer ican hospital units.
 This exception, MT. Taft wrote, was worthless because for lack of funds the Red Cross had maintained no units in the belligerent countries since last October.
