WORLDS BOOK OF 1917
Pre-eminent In the Matter Of Meet
Inc Reference Demands.

The year 1016'was one Of important
records in war abroad and in peace,
industry and legislative progress at
home. Among students, teachers,
newspaper men and general readers
there will be daily, and sometimes al
most hourly occasions for reference
to the dates of events, the text OF new
laws or other documents, the statis-
tics of trades, finance or elections.
This SURPRISING importance OF the
twelvemonth just past places a fresh
accent upon the fact well established
under tests of other years, that the
World Almanac and Encyclopedia is
the American publication pre-eminent
in the matter of meeting reference de-
mands of everyskind.
In the 1917 issue OF nearly 1,200
pages, this annual presents the last
yord\ of the calendar hour for the
first and last of its uncounted con-
suItants. 1t runs the range of events
from pugiIism to Presidentmaking,
from politics to preaching, from autoj
mobiles to agriculture, from records
of destruction to records of construc-
ton.
In the pages given to war are a
Chronological table of battle events
abroad, the Kaiser's peace proposal.
President Wilson's note to the bellig-
erents, a list of peace societies and
movements, the text of our own Army
Bill, details of American prepared
ness plans, texts Of peace treaties,
and contributions to relief funds.

NOT 4slLLY" sUFFRAGIsT
Or. Mary Walker critieises White
House "sIIent sentineIs."

DR.. Mary Walker has no hesitancy
in saying that while she's a suffragist
she's not "silly" one.
Dr. Walker was at the White House
yesterday afternoon, and to get there
she had to pass between the silent
sentinels" posted outside the entrance
gates. She wanted an opportunity to
tell Secretary TumuIty just what she
thought about such proceedings, but
the lstter's engagement list was rath-
cr crowded.
This is what ] wanted to tell the
Secretary, and asked him to transmit
il 10 the President" DIR. Walker said.
81 want him to know that while I'm
az the head OF the suffrage movement
in America, I'm not 'suffraSerte.
1 want him to know that decry such
acts as the .sentinels are committing
in front of the White House.
I'm surprised that something
hasn't been done to stop the Congress
sidnal Union from their picket duty
before this These women should not
be allowed to stand out in front of the
White House and provide laughs for
the hundreds of passers-by.
Il am a suffragist, but oppose any
such methods. do not believe the
suffragists ever will be able to gain
their point until they cease such tao
tics"
