was made to the Connecticut senator's

susan B. Anthony constitutional
amendment to give women the right
10 vote, by a delegation of about 30
connecticut women, representing the
National Woman Suffrage Association.
VINO met the Connecticut members
yesterday in Senator McLean's office
Inc suffrage amendment, it is ex-
pected, will be voted on in the House
on January and in the Senate soou
afterwards.
congressman Freeman and Merritt
told the suffragists that they favored
the suffrage constitutional amendment
ana would vote for it, The other
members did not tell their inten-
tons.
Senators Mclean and Brandegee
ana congressman Lonergan, Tilson
ana Glynn are opposed to the An
thony amendment and will vote
against 1t. They take the position that
suffrage is matter which should be
left to the people of each state to de-
cloe. Several favor permitting wom-
en- TO vote, but believe the ANTHONY
amendment is the wrong wav to
bring it about.
1t appears likely that the Suffra GO
amendment will be defeated bv Com

WHY ALIENS
OUTDISTANCE
AMERICANS
Hunger for Land Ownership
One of the Features of
Making Citizenship

Some people are never satisfied I'M
til they own piece OF real estate
They want a corner Of Gods earth
that they can really call their own,
from which no man can drive them
SO long as they pay their debts
1t is a very healthful and whole
some instinct. yet in the hands of
undeveloped people it makes trouble.
The Mexican revolution was largely
due to the land hunger of the peon.
The Russian peasant is so upset over
his chances to get some land that he
can't fight for his country.
After the war great numbers Of
aliens will come over here with the
hope to acquire bit of soil. Among
our own people there is too little land
hunger. Artisan populations dislike
to tie themselves down to any one
spot. They want to be free to pick
up and go the moment a better job
calls them. This works against the
country. and against the improvement
and Identification of town life.
The alien that comes in here will
take on some heavy burdens to get the
title to land. He will pay down a
small percentage of real money and
sign up for a heavy mortgage. He
works early and late with help of
wife and children. and spends next to
nothing for clothes or sports. He
gets there, understanding many of the
native stock who are held back by
higher standards of living and more
cautious spirit.
Any scheme to induce our people
to take up the ownership of more
land looks good.
When a man settles down to pay of
a mortgage he esta blishes himself as
a substantial citizen. The more he
improves his place the more he helps
on the community. People should
have good courage about it. They
should reflect that land and buildings
will never be likely to bring less than
now. If they pay down a small
amount of cash, their equity on the
property is likely to double in a few
years.

ORANGEMEN SEE
REASON AGAINST

Dublin, Dec. 13-The Grand Orange
Lodge of Ireland met here yesterday
and issued an address to the Orange

confidence of the representatives Of

I'VE arec onvinced that the state

satisfactory if the services of Irish
men had been boldly claimed in the
early period of the war;" says the adj

Orangenen are urged to be patri-
otto, under self-restraint and ready to
assist in preserving peace if desired
The meeting adopted a resolution
calling attention to the attitude Of the
Nationalists during the debate in the
house of commons on the represen-
tation of the people bill as further
proof Of their desire to exclude Union

BRITISH SOLDIERS
ARE OPTIMISTIC

Dondon, Dec. 13-J. H. Thomas,
head of the National Union of Bail
waymen of Great Britain, who has
just returned from a visit to the
British front in France, has sent the
following report of his visit to the
members of his organization:
at would be untrue to suggest that
our soldiers do not wish the war to
end. Clearly they do. They would
be less than human if they did not
having regard to what they have ex-
perienced. But it is also true that
the feeling uppermost in their minds
Is that there must be no repetition Of
this hell, that their children must not
experience what they are now ex-
periencing, and that therefore we
must have a peace that will be con-
elusive and lasting, Everywhere
among officers and men alike, there is
a very marked optimism that shows
clearly that they fell themselves
