SEE HOPE IN RUSSIA
Speech by Lloyd George Endorsed
by Leading Papers

London, Sept. 8.-The morning
papers In their comments on the
speech yesterday of Premier Lloyd
George see hope of a rejuvenated
Russia and the failure of the U-boat
warfare to starve England, an dunani-
mously reiterates that it is idle to talk
peace until German militarism is
crushed by force of arms. The Times,
under the heading Keep On" says:
1--WE are fighting for the greatest
cause for which men ever fought, for
the prize of victory is the freedom of
mankind, and the penalty of defeat
or compromise is permanent sub
jugation to the yoke of militarism"
The Chronicle declares that the
allies great and small must keep
their shoulder to the wheel until the
menace is finally eliminated" the
paper adds:
There are some poole in all coun-
tries who talk of "a drawn war but
that is really one result that cannot
ensue in any event.
The Post says:
Ito neglect to take even the small
est precaution against military re-
surgence is wickedly to betray both
the dead and the living"
The Telegraph asserts that the
prime minister takes the only view
that is fair and reasonable of Russia
and 1--WE must look forward with hope
to her recovery and the great part
she will play before the war is over"
Referring to the premier's remarks
about the United States strenuous
preparations the Telegraph says:
1--WE know what it portends." The
speech, the paper says, was IAN all
passionate invocation to his country
men to be true to their own resolve,
to win this war, and with it all that
we are fighting to secure"

That no permanent deputy city

Captain Harry Hargreaves U. S. A.,
was admitted this afternoon by City

authority to appoint a deputy. The
city clerk stated that he has decided
that whoever is engaged to act as
deputy clerk is to hold the position
only until the conclusion of the war
and the return of Captain Hargreaves
to whom he has promised the job
again on his return.
City Clerk Thompson states that he
is having considerable trouble in
getting a man to take this temporary
appointment. He thought Clarence
Seelye was going to accept it, but ap-

mind, he states

An Expensive Hat.
(Bristol Pre- IS.

A clever contributor to Newspaper
dom brings out the essential folly and
unfairness of the abomnible tipping
sytem. He shows that his three dollar
hat has cost him over SIS in the
course of year through tips. The
practice is a nuisance anywhere and
everywhere, as a restaurant proprN-
tor in New York admits. He has
posted signs which read: I'VE pay our
walters good living wages If you

biles, go TO it, -..-.,...,..,..-.-.

Early Efforts for Suffrage.

Early Efforts for Suffrage.
IT have not approved all the meth
DDS recently adopted by women in the
pursuit OF their political liberty: yet,
Mr.. President, the committee on suf-
frage OF the United States senate was
formed in 1889, when was one year
old; this same Federal suffrage
amendment was first introduced In
congress in 1878; brave women like
Susan H. Anthony were petitioning
congress for the suffrage before the
Civil war, and at the time Of the Civil
war. men like William Lloyd CARR
son, Horace Greeley and Wendell
Phillips assured the suffrage leaders
that If they abandoned their fight
for suffrage when the war ended the
men of the nation out Of gratitude
would enfranchose the women of the
country. And If the men of this coun-
try had been peacefully demanding
for over half a century the political
right or privilege to vote and had
been continuously ignored or men
with evasion by successive congresses
as have the women, you, Mr.. Presi-
dent. as a lover of liberty, would be
the first to comprehend and frogive
their inevitable impatience and right
eous indignation. Will not this ad-
ministration, reelected to power by
the hope and faith of the women of
the West, handsomely reward that
faith by taking action now for the
passage of the Federal suffrage
amendment?
I'm the port OF New York during
the past four years billions of dollars
in the export and import trade of the
country have been handled by the
men Of the customs service. Their
treatment of the travelling public has
radically changed, their vigilance
supplied the evidence for the Lusi-
tania note, the neutrality was rigid
ly maintained, the great German fleet
guarded, captured and repaired. sub
stantial economies and reforms have
been concluded and my ardent in
dustry has been given to this great
office Of your appointment. But now
I wish to leave these finished tasks,
to return to my profession of the law,
and to give all my leisure time to
fight as hard for the political free
dom of women as have always fought
for your liberal leadership.
ut seems a long seven years, Mr..
President, since I first campaigned
with you when you were running for
governor of New Jersey. In every
circumstance throughout those years
1 have served you with the most re-
spectful affection and unshadowed
devotion. It is no small sacrifice now
for me, as a member of your admin
tstration, to sever our political rela-
tionship. But think 1t Is high time
that men in this generation, at some
cost to themselves, stood up to battle
for the national enfranchisement of
American women. So in order eff
fectively to keep my promises made
in the West and more freely to go
into this larger field of democratic
effort, I hereby resign my office as
collector of the port of New York, to
take effect at once or at your earliest
convenience.
Yours respectfully,
DUDLEY FIELD MALONE"
