Augusta Women
On The Trail OF
The Germ Of Dirt

The little dirt German all his
legions are digging in for all they're
worth for there's a mighty army mass
ing under generals of fearsome repu-
tation as strategists to rout them out
by fair means or foul by broom or
barrage fire. More scraps of paper are
doomed. Augusta is to be cleaned.
The women are in charge of the
work this year-and principles and
preachings of equality must be more
than proved: the place of the woman
in world warnings must be prepared;
the capital city is to be made as spic
and span as Augusta women know how
to make it-and, take it from us.
Kaiser Wilhelm, thatll be going some.
Our first line of defense is already i'm
pregnable. The preliminary sanitary
skirmishes are on.
The city teams are commandeered
and will make the rounds of the city
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of
next week. Have your rubbish picked
up and IN CONTAINERS ready to be
hauled away. Do your part-or risk
dire consequences. There Will be no
quarters for "Slackers." And-note
this well,-any ashes or waste left
otherwise than in cans. barrels or box
es easily handled will be left for the
careless owners to clean UP. Don't
dump your ashes loose; have them in
suitable receptacles.
Who's in charge? Why. Mrs. Paul
D. Sargent on the West Side, and Mrs.
Charles S. Pettengill on the East Side.

ENGLAND TOLIMIT
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
TO MIDDLE AGED
Premier Admits Governments
Plan Is Illogical and
Unjustified

London, March S0.-Premier Lloyd
George told a deputation of woman
sudragists yesterday that the govern
ment now is framing an electoral re-
form bill, in which the recommenda-
tions of the speakers conference in
favor OF woman suffrage will be incor-
porated, put, he added the interpre-
tation of the recommendation will be
left to the house \ majority of the
members of the government, said the
premier, would support woman suffrage
and, he did not doubt, an overwhelm-
ing majority of the house. He urged
the women to be content with the pres
ent limitation of the vote to women
aged 80 or, alternatively. SO, as recon-
mended by the conference, because 9TH
erwise there was no hope Of general
consent.
The premier admitted that the lini-
tation was illogical and unjustitiable,
but expressed the conviction that once
women were enfranchised they would
eventually get exactly the same fran
chise as men.
The indications are that the women's
leaders will adopt the premier's ad-
vice. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst says
she is quite satisfied in view of the fact
that the bill is an emergency measure
and is willing to let the House of
Commons decide.

ernor.
Members of the state committee are
now making up lists of men in their
communities to serve on the local units
and it is expected that the work will
be rushed. The Governor is receiving
suggestions of many names for such
committees, which are being turned
over to the men in charge of the
county organization plans.
Many Meetings Scheduled
Governor Brumbaugh left for Phila-
delphia to-day to meet with Chairman
Pepper and other members of the ex-
ecutive committee in regard to plans
for developing the work. Tomorrow
he will attend the patriotic mass meet
ing with his staff. Monday the whole

Il am getting ready to name addi-
tional members of the committee so
that it Will be representative of the
best thought of the commonwealth

ernor. The organization of the units
will be undertaken as rapidly as pos
sible.'

Ex-Governor Stuart Accepts
Ex-Governor Edwin :. Stuart to- day
sent a letter to Governor Brumbaugh
accepting membership on the state
wide committee in which he said: Il
accept the appointment and will serve
on any committee or in any capacity
in which / may be of service to my
country and my state"
The Governor has received a num-
Der of acceptances from men who were
out of the state when invited to serve
in which they pledge their aid 1t is
likely that the additional men will be
selected and announced early next
week.
Two Local Committees
1t is possible that under the plan for
placing of more than one unit in n

of Harrisburg and borough of Cteel-

regions. Cumberland will have one

SUGGESTS RAISING
TAXES FOR ROADS


TContinued From First Pagel
recognizing the. need of extensive road
and bridge improvements to meet the
increasing traffic, have no funds avail
able to do the work. Each year after
expenses for maintaining the county
are met there is a balance of approx
mately $50, 900. This is used for re-
placing of old bridges with modern
concrete structures. This leaves no
money for road improvements which
are also necessary.
Would Add $4,000
County Solicitor Philip S. Moyer
does not believe a loan could be sub
mitted to the people if the money il
would provide is to be used for road
work, and together with the county
commissioners will consider the ques-
tion of increasing the tax rate.
BY adding one-half mill at least
S45, 900 would be provided, which add
ed TO the additional 100000 surplus
usually on hand, would give a fund of
SIS. 900 for road and bridge work.
If the rate is increased one mill,
100000 would be available it was
pointed out.
Although the question hasn't been
taken up officially by the commission
ers, the information given by Commits
sioner Hatfield has been carefully con-
sidered in connection with the needed
improvements.
Because of legal difficulties which
Solicitor Meyer predicted might follow.
II is not probable that a vote will be
asked on a loan for the road and
bridge work, it is expected.

tered and hdndreds of pounds of food
stuffs destroyed. Women who entered
the shops to make purchases were seiZ-
ed, their clothing torn and their par
cells taken from them and thrown into
the street.
The rioting began early yesterday
and was kept up until the markets
closed late at night 1t is said that
a boycott of all Kosher butchers in
the city has been planned for to-day.
and to prevent rioting such as took
place last night, when more than fifty
persons were arrested, police officials
early to-day sent mounted and motor
cycle squads TO the congested dis
tricts of the west side where crowds
are likely to congregate.
1t was said by the police that the
disturbance was not due so much to
the inability of the rioters to buy
food as to their desire to lower prices
by keeping others from obtaining it
and thus increasing the supply.

THE RENAISSANCE.


 The great war. notable as 1t is among wars, may not occupy a greater place in the history than the record of the renaissance in human affairs which its activities have induced and will continue to engender says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 The war has awakened timld hu- manity from its east an dlethargy. and driven 1t from it's rut. Men are no longer afraid to depart from GUS tom and convention. War, in three years, has completely outgrown the old system of warfare. Army officers who have devoted their lives to acqulr. ing It's arts are as ignorant of the new methods as the civilian. Men no long CT hesitate to lay aside custom, and venture upon untried methods in every department of human activity. The old bonds are being severed , man is footloose and free. entering with courage and confidence upon the new era. Medieval Germany fits lily into the new order; the logic of events has condemned it's archaic govern ment, even though the armies of the allies have not yet accomplished it's overthrow. The kaiser is struggling against the power of a world move ment stronger than any weapon that man may devise.
 Though we have yet but touched the fringe of war, 1t Is reconstructing the whole system of American life, in commerce. in industry and in the lives of the people, Revolutionary changes that have been foreshadowed these many years are being made without protest or friction or interruption of business. We are rubbing the fatness from our eyes and awakening to new life, to new opportunities. When the war is ended America will be trans, formed, facing the future with new hope. new power and new light.
 Every dreamer visions the future in the light of his own hope; but men propose, and a greater power disposes The world not only hears the clash of arms, but 1t hears the clamor oI many voices. Russia, called upon tC lreconstruct its national life, lies para lyzed by it's conflicting and chaotic forces. and demonstrates to civiliza tion that anarchy is not the liberty that the world craves and fights for Meanwhile the mills of the gods grind on, regardless of mans uncertain and groping purposes.
