forces of the nation to war, war in
which President Wilson says. I'VE are
lighting for the thing that has always
lain nearest to our hearts, democracy,
the right of those who submit to au-
thority to have a voice in their gov
eminent"
The nation is sending millions of
it's boys in response to this call to give
their lives for democracy abroad, and
at the same time it is denying de-
mocracy to half of its people at home.
Twenty million American women have
no voice in their government and
when their representatives carry to
the gates of the White House their
demand for liberty, the answer or the
government is imprisonment and the
punishment accorded the lowest Grim
inal.
Women are not asking the govern
ment to do the impossible. Congress
could eaily pass the amendment If the
president gave his support. If the
president should declare for national
suffrage he could undoubtedly 1n1lu-
ence enough votes to secure the pas
sage of the amendment thru congress,
and this victory for democracy would
be accomplished without struggle or
grief. without the loss of single life,
or any waste of national wealth.
1t is those who deny justice. who
embarrass the country; not those VINO
demand justice.
Until all women are enfranhised,
the voice of Kansas women in govern
ment is not heard.
The conference committee is pleased
to announce Miss Anne Martin, of
Nevada, vice chairman of the National
Woman's party as speaker. All loyal,
patriotic suffragists are urged to unite
in this conference at Topeka Friday
evening, September % in Memorial
hall at o'clock. If you cannot come
personally. please do what you can to
support the cause financially.

Secures Exclusive Publication Rights
for My Four Years in Germany.

The great world war has brought
forth many state papers, many docu-
ments dealing with the diplomatic ma
neuvers that preceded the war and
accompanied every crisis of the mighty
struggle. But it has remained for our
own ex-Ambassador Gerard to produce
a narrative of facts dealing with the
inner workings of the Kaiser's court,
it's intrigue, treachery and faithless-
ness-an amazing document that will
live forever in American history.
Mr.. Gerard who represented Amer
lea at Berlin throughout the world
war up to the time when Washington
severed diplomatic relations, learned
Facts at first hand. And in the famous
Black Bag" that he guarded so con-
5tantIy throughout his journey to his
own capitol, he brought the facts to
America, there to be placed before the
astonished eyes of its citizens. It is
graphic, gripping narrative, of such
'ength that it would fill an average
book.
The Milwaukee Journal has secured
he exclusive publication rights for
his series in Wisconsin. 1t will be
published in generous installments,
starting Sunday, Sept. 16, and lasting
over a period of six weeks. In order

EDITORIAL NOTE. William Lee
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeltzendOrff,
the Iatter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessor of it's innermost
secrets.
The English ''Who's who" says of
him: "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service Of Continental cOun-
tries and is considered by the govern
ment (of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says:
''Few people have been more closely as
socinted with know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than hc.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
fer the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret Information through
specially organized department with
which LeQueuz works as a voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeItzendorff became in
innate of LeQueux several years prior
TO the outbreak of the war; he has been
living In retirement In France since
August, 1914, and 1T was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations OF the
inner life OF the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the demOcracIes of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities Of the two dOmi-
nant members of the autOcracy they are
now arrayed against.
