nance committee has announced that
three out OF every four citizens have

nority have contributed again and
again. W Mashington's share OF the fund
is $4,000.

WOMEN ARE GAINING
CONTROL OF ENGLAND

(By International News Servfce.)
London, June 0-The British ship Of
state may be steered by the hand OF
women unless severe restrictions are
imposed in the woman suffrage meas
ure. Advocates of universal suffrage
were Jubilant today over the passage
OF the final reading Of the clause IN
the electoral reform bill dealing with
woman suffrage, but the opponents
made gloomy predictions.
1t was pointed out that there were at
least 100000 more women than men
in the British isles at the outbreak
of the war. and since that time the
number has been greatly increased
due to the losses on the various battle
fronts. Unless restrictions are put IN
the suffrage measure eliminating many
women as voters, the female element
OF the population will control the cleo
tions and consequently the govern
ment.
