PRAISE IS GIVEN
TO conn. PAPERS
Have Been Fair and Impartial
Regarding Suffrage News
Especial to the Herald.)

Hartford, July 2S-Apparently
there are people who need to come
to Connecticut for information as to
what the Suffragists are doing. The
newspapers of Connecticut have re-
ported very fairly the suffrage
leagues activities in war work, All
over the United States Suffragists are
taking the lead in women's war serv-
ice. DR.. Anna H. Shaw Is chairman
of the Woman's division of the Ma,
tional Council of Defense. Mrs. Cat,
at the beginning Of the war, offered
the services of the whole Of the Ma
tionalAmerican Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION to President Wilson, and the
state associations and local leagues
have nobly responded to her demand
on them. In Connecticut Mrs Hep
burn made similar offer to Govern
Or Holcomb, and the Central War
Work committee of the Connecticut
Woman Suffrage Association has
worked continuously to make good
this offer.
Yet In New York, there are read
ers of the New York Times-a strong
ly anti paper, who are under the i'm
preston that suffragists have refused
service. In a letter to the editor,
printed In conspicuous place on the
editorial page few days ago, wri;-
err who signs himself or herself
J. G. H. states that she was an &C
tive worker for woman suffrage un-
til the European war broke out, but
that she ceased working for the cause
when prominent suffragists loudly
iyo1o hof
the war and use their energies exclu-
sively for the vote" when women
deliberately set themselves aside from,
world movement so gigantic as the
present war;" she adds, they show
that they are as yet unfitted for. large
aims. I cannot but believe in woman
suffrage on the ground that az adults
should have the vote, but now be-
lieve the women to be untitled for it
and I will not lift finger to hasten
it's coming"
What pity this woman cannot have
the advantage of the fair reports of
suffrage activities in our Connecticut
newspapers. She must read only the
New York Times which delights to
report all incidents unfavorable to
suffrage and omits or minimizes +l,e
stories of suffrage service. TO do
good and efficient war work women
cannot do better than join one of the
suffrage associations, for every suf>
frage league and committee in Con-
necticut, and in most other states as
we'll. is devoting it's strength at tho
present time to one or another Of the
forms or war service-Red Cross
work, food production. food conserva-
ton Or work for the soldiers

Scheidemann Dcfics Government.

Scheidemann DcficS Government.
Copenhagen. July 2S-Philip Schei-
demann, socialist member Of the
Reichstag. gave yesterday the views
of the socialists on their participation
In the government. Herr Scheide-
mann said that if really a Parliament
tary government were formed with a
program which the socialists could
approve they must participate and
share the responsibility. If, however.
members of the Reichstag were only
to become subordinates to under Sec
retaries and chancellors they would
not accept the invitation to partici-
pate.
Herr Scheidemann said it was nee
essary to defend Germany against
Russia as long as it was an enemy but
the socialists did not desire to see the
fruit of the revolution destroyed. The
Galician retreat involved the Russian
soldier and the masses in frightful
sufferings The socialist government
was able to assign the responsibility
for this enormous misfortune to the
socialists of another school.
Herr Scheidemann set hopes for a
speedy peace upon Russian socialists
but not the maximalists. who trans
formed brother strife into murder and
Involved the country and army In
deep trouble. This should serve as a
warning and an example to the Ger
man socialists not to follow the dan
gerous advice from abroad to work
for a revolution amidst war. He said
that to attain it all sides must hold
fast to the program of the Council of
Workmen's and Soldiers delegates
and the German ReiChstag, uninfiu-
enced by military situation. He
warned against q new attempt to offer
Russia a separate peace and declared
that an announcement should be made
that Germany has no desire for con-
quest on any side and that Belgian
independence would be guaranteed as
we'll as the integrity of France.
Herr Scheidemann said that Premi-
err Lloyd Georges suspicion that Ger
many wishes to lay hand on Belgi-
UNI unfOunded because this is incOm-
patible with the Reichstag resolution
Scheidemann had previously declared
that the struggle to determine wheth-
err the people should rule in Germany
was not completed and the socialists
were demanding a government which
would act in the sense of that resolu-
ton.

LESS LAND THAN
MANY OTHER STATES
ONLY TWENTY-PER CENT LAND
IN GEORGIA is BEING
CULTIVATED.

ATLANTA, Jan. 25.-Less than %
per cent of the cultivatable land in
Georgia is under cultivation. and the
per centage in other southeastern
states is relatively low, and it is for
the purpose of attracting desirable
farmers to this section that the great
Southern Land Show is to be held in
this city from February 1 to Is, in
elusive.
The railroads. which are greatly in
terested in the objects and purposes
of the show, have given the cheapest
rates that are ever made except for
great national events like the Panama
Pacific exposition, and thousands of
visitors are expected.
Exploiting California lands by means
of land shows has been that states
most effective method of Turing de-
sirable farmers to the Pacific coast,
and the Southeastern Land Show in
Atlanta is to be modelled on similar
lines. There will be exhibits of
farms from a large number of south
eastern states, consisting of samples
and analysis of soils; samples of
crops; figures showing altitude, aver
age temperature and average rain
fall prices, etc. The accuracy of
exhibits will be guaranteed by the
land show and all lands on exhibition
will be listed for sale with the Bur-
dett Realty company of this city, so
that visitors to the show can make
immediate purchases on the assurance
of getting exactly what they pay for.
