WOOD FOR CONSUMPTION;
VOLUNTEER SERVICE
TERMED AS RIDICULOUS

In a recent speech at Boston Major
General Wood said: "If we are to
be part of the war our men in our
uniform must be at the front. 1t is
no child's play. We shall send liv-
ing men and bring them back dead
but never until this is done shall we
fulfill our ddty. You cannot let some
body else do your job and have a
clear conscience.
"a volunteer service, however de-
lightful in theory, is ridiculous in
practice. Only 5000 men have been
enlisted in two weeks and leave it
to you to estimate how long it will
take to get an army of million
men"

firmative side. and lost the decision.

official statement has recently been

real obstacle in the way of peace be-

people to govern themselves, and dis
claimed any desire for further ter

Now United In Support OF Suffrage TO
Go to People for Decision
In 1918.

Springfield, Ill.-Friends of the pro-
gram for constitutional convention
in Illinois for revision of the basic law
OF 1870, are already actively at work.
The Fiftieth general assembly, after
various previous attempts, enacted q
joint resolution calling for submission
of the question in 1918.
Among the chief advocates Of such
convention are the suffragists, head
ed by Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout of Chi.
cago, president Of the Illinois Equal
Suffrage association, who are conf
dent that a suffrage clause fully en-.
franchising women can be written into
the new Constitution.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch Of
Evanston, who fought hard at the last
session Of the suffrage association to
have that body go on record in favor
of an attempt to get a suffrage amend
ment to the present Constitution, has
now, it is reported, agreed to give
her support heartily to the constitu
tional convention campaign.
Mrs. McCulloch's action is said to
have united the suffrage forces of the
state which for a time threatened to
split into two opposing camps,

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullmans car. She
and her mother left the city early In
the evening, each occupying big cush-
loned seat in the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they We're to-
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in a bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up'
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which She
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for a time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma, If we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
TO sleep?"
"That man." and the rest in the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.

EMBARGO ON SOME FOODS
Animal Fats, Vegetable Oils and Soap
Also included in List, owing to

feeds was declared by the exports ad.
ministrative board. The commodities
include food grains and feed grains,
oil cake and meal, animal fats, vege-
table oils and soap, caustic soda and
certain machinery. The embargo, it
is said, is because of diminishing sup.
plies and to meet the actual needs OF
America.

SEEKING NO LASTING PEACE

London.--Any peace worth having

OF territorial bargaining to be embod-
led in protocols and pacts, and still
less in an arrangement imposed by
either victors or vanquished which
sets at defiance the historic tradi-
tons, aspirations and liberties Of the
peoples affected.
Premier Asquith made this declara-
ton in addressing a mass meeting at
Leeds under the auspices of the war
aims committee. He described the
German reply to the papal note as
teeming with ''nebulcus and unctuous
generalities," but giving no indication
that Germany will take any practical
steps to open the road to real and
lasting peace
