PROMISES AID TO
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
[RepubIican A. p. leased wir.1


LONDON, Marci, 30.-Premier Lloyd
George told a deputation of women
suffragists yesterday that the govern
ment now is framing an electoral re-
form bill in which the recommendation
of the speakers conference in favor of
woman suffrage will he incorporated,
but, he added, the Interpretation of the
recommendation will be left to the
house.
A majority OF the majority members
of the government, said the premier,
would support woman suffrage and he
did not doubt, an overwhelming ma
jority of the house. He urged the wo-
men to be content with the present linn
itatiOn of the vote to women aged thir-
ty or alternately 35, as recommended
by the conference because otherwise
there was no hope of general consent.
The premier added that limitation
was illogical and unjustifiable, but eX-
pressed the conviction that once women
We're enfranchised they would eventu
ally get the same franchise as men.
The indications are that the women
leaders will adopt the premiers advice.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst says she is
satisfied in view of the fact that the
bill is an emergency measure and is
willing to let the house of commons
decide.

WAR Time IMPORTANCE
OF CAMBRIA EXPLAINED
National Geographic Society spe-
oially Notes the Railways Radi-
ating From the City.

THE vast Importance to both belliger-
ents of the town of Cambrai, 121 miles
northeast of Paris and 90 miles south
east of Arras, is due in very large meas
ure to the railways which radiate from
1t in spokelike fashion, as from the hub
of Il Wheel" says a war geography bull
lctin issued from the Washington head
quarters OF the National Geographic So
eiety.
Seven railroads meet and cross each
other at this little city of 10000 inhab-
itants which clings to a slope rising
from the right bank OF the River
Scheldt. Fully to appreciate the value
of this military depot one needs only to
realize the territory which its railroads
cover If we should draw north and
south line through the town. four of its
railroads would be found branching or
in an easterly direction and three to the
west.
Course of the Main Lines.
THE two main lines on the eastern
side extend to Valenciennes, twenty
light miles to the northeast, and to
Busigny. sixteen miles to the southeast.
The latter line passes through Caudry,
a town of 1900 inhabitants. and after
reaching Busigny, turns in a southwest
erly direction to St. Quentin. The two
less important lines are those running
to LIE Cateau, sixteen miles distant with
important wooden and spinning mills.
and to SolesmeS. a n-manufacturlng
town thirteen miles away.
The lines of the western sector run
northwestward to Douai, sixteen miles.
away; westward to the village of Bois-
leux. a station on the important Arras-
Amiens railway line and southwark to
st. Quentin, on the Somme, and to
Chaulnes. this line branching east and
west at Roisel.
"Cambrai lies to the north and slightly
east of Paris, 121 miles distant by rail,
via st. Quentin and Busigny, and 1z8
miles by way of St Just, Chaulnes and
Peronne.
Before the war the town was quite an
important manufacturing city, with ex--
tile factories. OF course. Its chief dis
tinction from an Industrial standpoint is
the fact it was here that Baptiste sCou-
taing. the weaver, is supposed to have
made the first cloth which now bears the
name of "cambric, in honor of the town.
and the fine muslin called ,"batiste"
which commentaries the achievement Of
the weaver. 1t was in the fifteenth CEN
tury that cambrfc was invented.
Cambria occupies an important place
in medieval French history. 1t was here
that the famous League of .Cambraf
was formed in 1903. the members of
the league being Pope Julius II, the
France and Ferdinand. King. of Ara
gon. The primary object of the allies
was the overthrow of Venice, which
would have been fully accomplished
had not mutual jealousies defeated the
chief aim OF the alliance.
