Every American state should adopt
similar legislation.
Only the states can do il, as congress
has nothing to do with franchise rights.
At the same time congress has no

the war and the return of the soldiers, as
has been done in France and England.
Some of the northern states which
we're in the union during the Civil War,
have laws providing for soldier vote.
The state troops voted in the field.
In the Spanish War soldiers from these
states voted in Cuba or the Philippines,
and last year many of them voted on the

But these troops were organized in
state units and differed by state officers.

A Valuable Political
Hint From Canada

Canada has enfranchised large part
of her women--to suppress political
slackerism.
In the next Canadian elections every
wife, mother or sister of Canadian sol
der overseas will cast the vote of her
soldier, whether he be alive and well, in
the hospital or buried somewhere in
France"
At the same time, new laws allow the
soldiers in France and elsewhere TO vote.
The politicians who opposed conscrip-
ton in Canada and counted on the i'm
mense Stacker vote of Quebec to return
them TO office are up against this new
political expedient, born of 4 nations
necessity.
Canada has adopted woman suffrage
as military measure.
What a comment on the old-time anti
suffrage argument that it would imperil
national existence because women would
not vote for armies and naviesl
The Canadian legislation conveys a
valuable political hint TO America also.
A year from now, when a new con-
press ID elected. some 100000 Ameri-

You Have Seen Them
Go By, Several Times
Did You Feel the Thrill!

These are stern, heart-tearing times.
Down the street, behind band and
Civil war veterans and Spanish war
veterans and city dignitaries and so on,
come some hundreds of our new soldier
boys, OFF for their environments.
They are uniformed, their guns are
at shoulder, their side arms rattle, their
kits are on their backs.
They are to win victories.
They are to add new glories to the
nation.
They are to have place in fame and
history. You feel the glory of a right
Gus war.
You cheer.
You want to wave flags.
You boil with enthusiasm.
It is great to be an American.
It is great to have such fighters for
the cause.
Aren't they brave-looking, warrior
looking
How can we fail to winl
Following these ranks of uniformed,
equipped, almost ready young men come
other ranks of our new soldier boys, I'M
uniformed, unarmed, in variety of hats,
suits and shoes, just as they came from
home.
You can almost see where mother
brushed a coat, or where sister tied a
necktie, or wife chung about a neck.
You don't want to cheer or wave flags.
Your enthusiasm gives way to seri-
BUSINESS.
You don't think of victories, fame,
the national strength, che justice of the
cause.
You notice that the motherly looking
woman beside you in the multitude of
spectators is crying behind her hands.
You realize that the bloody roadway
of war leads right up to the chair at
the family table and the place in the
Preside circle.
Heroes all, whether in khaki OF
cheviot, heroes leaving all behind, while
homes miss them miss them awfully.

PATROLS ACTIVE ON
FRENCH BATTLE FRONT

Paris, Dec. 23.-The announcement
Of the progress of the campaign issued
by the war office today reads:
Between the Disc and the Aisne
patrols were quite active In the
neigh borhood Of Juvincourt the Ger
mans attempted to raid our small
posts but were repulsed with consld-
cradle losses.
"Other enemy attempts in the sec
tor of Godal, north of Courcy and
north of Bezonvaux gave no other re-
suits than to leave prisoners in our
hands.
"In Lorraine our reconnoiteriag
parties captured a few Germans near
Limy. The night was calm every
where else.
"In the period of December 1t-20
inclusive, fourteen German airplanes
were brought down by our pilots;
three others were forced to land in a
damaged condition inside their own
lines. In addition three enemy ma
chimes were brought down by the
fire of our special guns
