NATIONAL WOMAN'S PARTY.
Conference to Be Held in Vicksburg,
Friday, June LIST, at 4 O'clock.

Conference to be Held IN VlckSburg,
Friday, June LIST, at 4 O'clock.
Vicksburg, Miss, May 30-(Special)
On Friday, June first, at four
o'clock, a meeting is to be held in the
parlors of the Hotel Carroll in vicks-
burg which is Of great interest to la
dies over the state. It is to be the
conference of the National Woman's
Party, the vigorous young suffrage or
ganization which works exclusively
for the immediate passage through
Congress of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. For the present, the hotel
parlors have become temporary suff-
rage headquarters with gay purple,
white and gold flags, and busy women
making plans for the meeting. There
is also a large banner which bears the
text of the amendment "The right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on &C.
count of SEX" A number of Vicks-
burg ladies, as we'll as ladies from
other parts of the state, including
jackson, Gulfport and Rolling Fork,
plan to attend.
The meeting will be a suffrage tea
and conference. The chief speakers
will be Mrs. st. Clair Thompson of
North Carolina, Southern Field Sec
tary for the Woman's Party, and Miss
Beulah Amidon, a Carolina voter and
one of the Woman's Party organizers.
The Woman's Party has national
headquarters in Washington. 1t oc-
cupies the old Cameron House, just
across the Square from the White
House. 1t maintains an, active
lobby in Washington and has branches
in forty four states. It is expected
that Mississippi will become the forty
fifth state in which an active demand
for suffrage for American women is
voiced. At the meeting Friday an or
ganization will be formed and a state
committee chosen.
Suffragists are much encouraged
over the present outlook. Since No.
vember seven states have extended to
their women the right to vote in nat |
ional elections. Our allies, England |
and Russia, are enfranchising their
women because they have found that
in war time, when the men are away, |
women need the ballot as the weapon |
Of civic protection. President Wilson
has written the Rules Committee, urg- |
ing the immediate formation of a Com |
mittee on Woman Suffrage in the
House. Such committee already ex.
lists in the Senate.
The federal amendment, which will
submit thu question Of votes for wom- |
On to each state at the next session
Of the legislature. It leaves each |
state free to pass whatever property |
or educational qualifications local con- |
ditions make necessary, but IL applies
these conditions equally to men and |
women. and gives women q voice in |
their government. By the federal
amendment plan, women are not com. |

HARMLESS OlD 'FRFNGHMAN' 4 SPY
 IS RECOGNIZED

ac cunning of the German intelll- s1lce office in being able to keep spies ia France and the method in which they are unearthed is illustrated by this story from France:
 Must have been pretty village once," observed the intelligence off cer.
 Yes Makes you hate the bally war doesn't it" replied the subaltern at his side
 A French village had stood on the spot Now all that was left were few masses of tumbled bricks with here and there the remains of a wall showing its jagged outline above the waste of shell craters. \ little way apart lay a great pile of masonry where the chateau had stood, and leading to it could be traced the skeleton of it's once stately avenue of trees. Black ened and torn by shells, they now raised their shattered trunks and limbs to the sky or sprawled in ruin upon the mud.
 Scene of Utter Desoation
 A scene of utter desolation. There was life enough, tho, at the chateau, for it's cellars housed the headquarters of British division, and cars and motorcycles and orderlies came and went continually along the road.
 Then, as the two officers watched, a figure different indeed from the alert ones in khaki. was seen moving slow ly to and fro in what had been the chateau garden.
 Who is that fellow?" said the intel ligence officer.
 "Oh, it's an old French civilian. Used to own the chateau. Huns shot his wife. He buried some stuff there, he says. Papers, all right, you know. Got permission, from the French and from general headquarters to come here. Nice old chap; I've asked him to have dinner with us tonight"
 I've got to raise dinner somewhere myself" said the intelligence officer "Righto We'll find you some.

Thanks So long till then" was the reply, and the !E.eiigence officer went his way
 Recognized Him as Spy
 The old Frenchman told many stor- es during dinner of the coming of the Germans and Of their cruel blood lust, and no one could withhold pity from this worn man with the look of infinite weariness in his eyes.
 Finally the intelligence office rose 50 long. you chaps. I've got some maps to do. Thanks awfully," he said, and was gone.
 Five minutes later he reappeared with a sergeant and five men and ar rested the old Frenchman.
