sUFFRAeIsTs SHOCKED AT
 60 DAY SENTENCE
Mrs. w. J. Bartlett Gives Out lnfor-
 nation Relative to Situation.

Mrs W. J. Bartlett, who was at Fenway attending the meeting of suf- fragists at which the cases co the ar rested suffragists at Washington was ative to the organizations position on the matter:
 The picketing of the White House and the capitol at Washington was the work of members of the National Woman's party and was disapproved by the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the great majority of suffragists all over the country. Nevertheless suffragists ev- anywhere were shocked at the sen tences of sixty days imposed on the sixteen women who were sent last week to the District of Columbia Teiegrams of protest were sent Pfesdent fFom a RaTs %son 0 rhe 'osay board of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage Association joined in these pro- tests and sent the following resolu- ton to Washington:
 Whereas. a sentence of sixty days imprisonment has been imposed on sixteen women on a technical charge of obstructing traffic, and
 Whereas, these women were merely exercising their legal rights of peti- ton and protest: Therefore it Is
 Resolved, by the executive board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As
  ing the action of the Washington suf fragists in picketing the White House and the capitol, protest most ener- getically against the efforts of the authorities to suppress free speech and constitutional rights by the in fiiction of sentences so severe and so unjust; and
 Resolved that we respectfully urge the president Of the United States to protest publicly against this injustice and to vindicate our historic liberties by his public protest
 Whether the telegram of the Con- recticut Woman Suffrage Association had anything to do with the action of the president in pardoning the suf- fragist prisoners, of course 1t Is inn possible to say. But the fact remains that the pardon was granted just af- ter this telegram must have been re- ceived at the White House. It was undoubtedly one of & flood of tele- grams calling the presidents atten tion to the fact that the best preven- ton of further trouble would be the passage of the federal suffrage amend n1ent, whereby this country would be made safe for democra cy"-the cause for which the United States has gone into the war.
 The National American Woman Suf- frage Association is urging the pass age of the amendment as a war meas ure. This great association has been

 specifically state the time and place a which he is to appear for examina- tion. the first group of men to be ex- amined five days. after the date of mailing the notice, the second six days after mailing the notice, the third group seven days after.
 Every man so notified will be re- quired to appear. On this point the exemption boards instructions are as follows:
 service and notified to appear for physical examination and does not ap- pear for examination on the day set: or does not, if prevented by sickness or necessary absence from appearing on the day set to appear for such ex- animation on or before the tenth day after the mailing of the notice direct ing him to appear for such examina- tion; or does not, under the provisions file an application accompanied by satisfactory proof, for physical exam ination elsewhere than at the office of the board where by which he was mo- tif1ed to appear, such person shall be recorded as physically fit for military service"

 Indications here Saturday were that practically every man who has been selected in the first call will appear for examination as the notices to be sent out will direct. During Satur- day about every young man who Is liable for himself and was merely awaiting official notice of what he should do.
 It is a matter of great satisfac- tion in many quarters that there are apparently very few hereabouts who have not accepted their luck in the determination to go forward for what ever duty the future may hold in store for them. Very few squeals over the draft have been heard. but numbers have made the simple but positive statement: T am ready"
