SWEEPING SUCCESS OF THE

MANY QUESTIONS
German. Army Losing Ground
and Said to Be Also Losing
Faith in Kaiser.

Washington, April 14.-The in
ternational war council to assemble
here within the next week and to
which Great Britain and France are
sending eminent statesmen, soldiers
md sailors, was stated officially to
have very largely for it's purpose the
enabling of the United States to
avoid the mistakes and difficultiee
which beset the allies when they en-
cred the war.
American officials in all depart
ments will have the opportunity, II
vas stated, to meet the foreign com
nissioners personally, discuss with
hem the immense lessons taught b
The war, and consider the broad prin-
pies whereby the United States can
marshal its forces for the great
struggle with the minimum waste
and delay.
1t is realized everywhere that this
country faces stupendous task in
converting nitsslf, almost overnight
from a peace basis to a universal
military, naval, industrial and agri-
cultural mobilization, The problem
IS to fill all these separate and un
expected demands without having
zach cripple the other. The entente
nations, particularly England, were
faced at the beginning of the war
with similar questions and learned
to solve them only by bitter exper-
ence.

HER ADDRESS Is
LOUDLY APPLADED
A Convincing Array Of Argu-
ments Forcefully Presented
BY Speaker.

On last Friday evening DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, honorary presi.
dent Of the National Women's Suf-
frage Association, maze a brilliant
address before the I dent body, the
faculty and many people of the town.
DR.. Shaw spoke in a clear, eloquent
and forceful manner. She proved
that franchise should be extended to
women, since our government is \
republic "by the people, for the peo-
pie, and Of the people," and since
women are people. Her reasoning
was sound, logical and convincing.
Her illustrations were very clever
and original. The message she
brought was of interest to all, for 1T
included the most vital issues of the
present time. DR.. Shaw traced brief
ly the origin and development of the
movement for universal suffrage in
different countries and in different
parts of the United States. She gave
the principal arguments used by anti
suffragists, and refuted them in a
decisive manner. The good results
that have come about from women
having the right of ballot IN Western
states were given. The two ways of
securing franchise were mertionec
One is the national method and con-
sists of having an amendment to the
United States constitution passed by
a two-thrds majority of Congress;
the other method is for the state leg
.islature to give the right of ballot to
women. The latter is the more de
sirable.
Dy n.aans Of the wonderful eharn
of her personality, as well as by the
logic and appeal of her address Dr.
Shaw he'd the fascinated interest an
appreciative attention of her aud
ience throughout the lecture.
At the close of the address a bou-
auet of beautiful roses was present
ed to DR.. Shaw by Miss Matte Pc
cues in behalf of the Equal Suffrage
League of the |. |. & c.
All who had the pleasure Of hear
ing DR.. Shaw will agree that her lee
ture was one of the very best Ly-
ceum attractions of the season.

With Other Editors


A New York Judge has taken a step in
the right direction by warning saloon
keepers Of that city against selling liquor
to chauffeurs, but, unfortunately, he does
not nave the authority of enforcing more
drastic measures. Ii is probable that more
than half the JOY riding that %endangers hui
man life is INDUCED in by people who are
feeling the effects of alcoholic stimulants
and should be debarred from the roads
and streets. Probably the best means for
reducing the amount of reckless driving by
people in various stages of intoxication
would be to invoke the law which gives the
Judge authority to impose a fine for dan
gerous and reckless driving. even though
the speed my be n moderate one. Ere
quently a man with very little 10 drink will
take chances that he would shun when
sober, and il is these chances that cause
the majority of accidents. The most eff
fective way of stopping JOY riding Is TO take
the joy out of the driver.-Beaumont Jour
