Look for Congress to Act
on Suffrage Quickly


THOSE who are looking toward the
4 real characterization Of the world
during the coming months are antici-
pating determined EFFORT to secure
the massage OF the Susan r. Anthony
amendment Immediately upon the
converting Of Congress in December.
The consideration OF this amendment
during the 1918 session will mark the
fortieth anniversary Of it's introduce
ton in Congress. and will come with
new Significance at this time of in
ternational struggle.
The resolution proposing to enfran-
chise the women OF the country
througn an amendment to the Consti
tuition Of the United States was framed
by the pioneer Suffragis. some years
after she began her fight for equal
suffrage for men and women more
than half a century ago.
Her argument at that time was that
the picked men OF the country who
sat in Congress and in the legislative
halls Of the various states would be
likely to give the measure much more
intelligent consideration than could
be given IL by the rank and file OF
men at a referendum election.

Task Purely Political.

We have come to the point now,
however when we prefer Legislative
consideration to a general vote for
quite different reason We no longer
feel that intelligence is reserved for
the members OF our Legislative bodies,
But We recognize that the propa
ganda stage Of the suffrage campaign
is passed, and our remaining task is
the purely political one OF securing
action upon the merits of the ques-
ton. This action. we find, can be Sc
cured with infinitely less effort and
time and money and energy through
national amendment and its consc-
ouent ratification by three -fourths OF
the state legislatures than II can by
toilsome. fnervating. strength vast
ing effortsto secure favorable refer
endums in states where political re-
form is almost impossible.
Again. the tmelincss OF tho plea
for woman suffrage throughout the
country demands as speedy action as
it is possible to get. The present in
ternational effort toward n broader
democracy is an effort which should
be based upon a true democracy in
our own country. We cannot longer
ignore the fact that half OF the people
IN the United States are denied tho
privileges Of democracy when they
IRE denied the right TO vote. And we
are constantly confronted with the
wastefulness Of asking public service
from women who cannot back their
desires for social and economic i'm
provement with the power OF the
ballot

TWenty-four Thousand Are Required by the U. s. as Part of Medical
 Service Abroad.
ALASKA TO GIVE QUOTA
Demand Is the Heaviest Made on Any Other Profession in
 America.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Tn ob- taining 144,OO0 trained men for army medical service, 24,000 of whom must be physicians, the government will not only draw upon the conti- mental United States, but upon Alas ka, Porto Rico and Hawaii. One half of this force will be needed by October l of this year and the re. mainder six months thereafter.
 The work of raising this huge force is already under way: and as fast as shelter can be had the men are being placed in training camps at the rate of 200 a day. There | at Fort Riley, Kans. Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. >> | Two of every nine physicians of military age in the country will be required for this service, which rep resents the heaviest demand made by the war upon any single profes- sion, but General Georgas says the medical men of the country are meeting the call with a will.
 There are in the United States approximately 90,000 physicians of war age 22 to 55 years-and a re quired number will be drawn from every community proportionate to it's total number of available men. No city, town, or village, however, will be stripped of it's physicians, however anxious they may be to engage in war work. The work in the training camps covers three months. As a rule medical officers go to the camps with view to pre- pairing themselves to serve with the fighting troops. Officers too old for such service are held in re- serve for specialists behind the bat tie line.
