Germany staked all on the U.boats

that the news of further disintegraton
at Petrograd has brought no great shock.

leved in Washington that Eerensky
will withdraw to Moscow and, as tho
revolt seems to be confined TO Petrograd,
a return of the Government to the ancient
capital might very well give the Premier
the support of the bulk Of his people.
Cut off from the rest of the country,
the Petrograd revolutionaries, being re.
mariably few in number, would lose their
grip on the city populace when Isolation
began to threaten it with starvation.
Kerensky considered the advisabilty OF
abandoning Petrograd to the Bolsheviki
several weeks ago. but he has evidently

SUFFRAGE FOR PENNSYLVANIA
~ Nc NdiLor 81 the Erenina Ledner.

y "c Tudoi " tHt EGSHHU Leu0eT.
Sir-Now that the great Empire State has
been won for woman suffrage, is il not high
time for Pennsylvania TO redeem itself?
These are the days of an enlightened
democracy and surely our nation can no
longer tolerate the Acknowledgement of a
large part Of the women. Womans place is
at the ballot-boN more so than ever Then
why should not Pennsylvania fall into line9
True enough, our reactionary Legislature
went so far as to refuse to pass the equal
rights amendment, so that the voters will
not even have the opportunity of voting for
suffrage for several years. But the Federal
amendment is most certainly coming up at
this session of Congress. To pass It then
would multiply the energy in our drive for
world democracy. This is the time to mar
shal the friends Of political freedom 1t is
a task in which Pennsylvania's Congress-
men and United States Senators can do
their bit. VIII they do less than announce
themselves at once in favor of the Federal
amendment and then start in to turn the
opinions of whatever national legislators
are opposed to political equality? Let Penn
sylyanias men lead the way.
JOSEPH L. COHEN.
Philadelphia, November 8.
