the senate today had spent all Of the
session i'll an effort to bring some
thing out OF the chaotic condition in
which the dry bill finds itself after
the fight OF yesterday.
The bill was amended III conformity
with the policy indicated on Tuesday
and in this form recommended to

ing with the drys.
The amendments provide that
limited amount OF liquor may be kept
in the home, that the saloons shall
have period OF grace-.in which to
dispose of their stock, that the owner
OF building shall not be held liable

and that the individual may make his
own wine.

condition, they offered first an amend

refused and voted solidly to defeat
the amendment. Then another was
sent ZIP by McMullen, allowing five
gallins in the home. and this, too,
went down TO defeat. Then he sent
up his third attempt. making the
amount ten gallons, but this too
failed, the vets seemingly being de-
termined TO be consistent In their
stand even if the drys had receded
from the principle they were SO anX-

Only one vote was taken and that

BRITISH WOMEN TO
Be GIVEN BALLOT
Premier Lloyd George Makes
Declaration in Commons
in Favor of Suffrage.
AsQuITH CHANGES VIEWS

London, March 2S.-Premier Lloyd
George made a declaration in the
House of Commons today in favor
of woman suffrage. The premier said
he welcomed the recommendation in
favor of woman suffrage which was
made in the Program for electoral
reform moved today by former Pre-
mier Asquith!
The other reform measures also
were approved by the premier, who
said that in the opinion of the gov
ernment it would be national waste
iE the results of the conference at
which the reforms were outlined
should be thrown away. He favored
generous extension of the electoral
franchise by reducing to three months
the period for qualifying for voting
and besides assuring the qualification
of every soldier and sailor.
Asquith Changes Views.
Former Premier Asquith said in the
House of Commons today that the
house would not be unprepared to
hear that he and other members no
longer regarded the question of wo-
man suffrage from the standpoint
they occupied before the war. Mr..
Asquith made this statement in NOV
ing the adoption Of a plan for cleo
toral reform.
Mr.. Asquith said his opposition to
woman suffrage always had been
based solely on considerations of pub
lie expediency. The. women had now
worked out their own salvation. The
war could not be carried on without
them. What moved him especially,
he added, was the problem of recon-
struction after the war. He consid-
cred it to be a neither just nor ex-
pedient to withhold from women the
power or the right to make their votes
heard directly.
The fact that for three years there
had been no recurrence of the ode
testable campaign which had dis
figured our public life," said Mr.. As
quith, would make it impossible for
any one to say that in changing their
position in regard to suffrage he and
his associates had yielded to force
what they had refused to yield to ar,
guments. With the exception of the
actual bearing of arms in the field
there was hardly service which had
contributed to maintenance of the
cause of the allies in which women
had not been as active and efficient
as men. SIS.
New Problems to Solve.
Wherever one turned might be
seen women, who, without detriment
to the prerogstves Of their sex, were
performing Work which three years.
ago would have been regarded as
falling exclusively within the prov
ince OF men. After the war questions
would arise with regard to women's
labor actions and activities in which
the women must have voice.
Mr.. Asquitll also supported strongly
the other proposals for electoral re-
form and expressed the opinion that
the recommendation that all elec- /
tions should take place on one day
dealt with one Of the greatest reforms
which could be introduced. He un-
derstood that the life of Parliament
would be extended further until the
end of November and hoped that a
new register on the lines of the re-
forms suggested would be ready,
should an election be necessary at I
that time.
