A RETURN OF COURTESY
By PATRICK Tha in the LOnd Irish


 sives lit the horizon. Against the light K wood stood out dense and dark.
 "We go right through here,' said the corporal He was a low-set man, a splen- did soldier and very daring. The men went into the wood. When they came out on the other side they couldn't find the village.
 T think that we're too far to the right" said one of the men. If we make left we'll come across the dump in no time''
 The men turned to the left and walked for some 10 minutes, but no village came in sight. Suddenly the corporal ripped against something and sprawled to the ground. He got to his feet again, splut- tering. M
 "I tripped against a blooming Ger7 man." he muttered Must have been |, dead for sometime He smells. But arc we on the right road? 1 don't think so"
 He held his peace for a moment as a starshell went up in the air and lit the wood and its surroundings. Right in front. about hundred yards away. ruined village could be seen.
 ''Ah! that's the place." said one of the men Its so hard to tell where you are when it's dark. But I do re- member that Boche, corporal stumbled against him when we were coming up here
 The ration party entered the vil- lage. The houses were practically lev eled to the ground but the cellars were occupied. Lights burning in the base ments glimmered up through the shat tered streets.
 Where is the dump?' asked one of the men.
 "We'l soon find that out" said the corporal Here's a man coming to- ward us. One of the A. s. c. I sup pose.'
 The man approached, walking hur- riedly. a pail in his hand. He came close up to the party.
 Hey, chummy" said the corporal, bending toward the man "Where-- Then strange thns happened. Quick as lighting the corporal reached out and gripped the man by the throat. The bucket dropped to the ground
 Not word" said the corporal in hoarse threatening voice. If you do I'll choke you dead. Do you under stand English?"
 "Ya, I understand" gasped the man. You choke me. Kamerad.'
 The corporal turned to his men, but did not relax the grip on the Ger mans throat
 "Bayonet to his back. and if he speaks drive the steel into him."
 The men did as the corporal or dered. The German, freed from the grip on his throat, breathed deeply
 Now, show us the way out of this" said the corporal. fixing his eyes on the enemy. We want to get into the English lines. Get us there as quick as hell or you'll be for 1t. You should know this place better than we do"
 The German knew the way and, be- ing courteous man, he went with the ration party and directed them to the dump without delay. But British soldiers are never outdone in gen erous action. When the German had finished his task they suggested that he should go to England their coun- try. where, far from the alarms of war, he would be made welcome and fed and clothed at the expense of the hospitable English people. The Hun appeared to welcome the prospect with enthusiasm, took them at their word and went.

At the Front, June 10-(Special Corre- spondence )-To get lost was quite an easy matter, for in the vicinity of St. Quentin there are very few trenches. An onlooker finds it difficult to know where the German lines end and the English begin.
 The trench alley of demarcation Is a thing of the past. Now the natural folds of the earth conceal a platoon of men, the shell-crater is a lurking place for a machine gun, and the farmhouse, bat tered and ruined, that stands in the fields, is a nest of snipers A Tommy wandering about, may stroll into the farmhouse to find a German sniper in possession; an absent minded Roche may saunter into a shell-hole and find him. self confronted by the snout of an Eng glish machine guns. The villages in the vicinity, all ruined, are as like as two bullets, and it is quite impossible for newcomers to tell which belong to the enemy and which to us. Now when the ration party got lost But listen:
 A fresh battalion had just come up and relieved the men who were holding K wood and it's neighborhood. The men who took possession assorted. themselves in their particular shell craters, buttoned their overcoats around their ears and placed their rifles the ground near to hand. The night would be a cold one. An officer came to the lip of a shell-crater and looked in.
 T want a party of you fellows" said the officer. .Rations The dump is in the village we've just passed through, be- hind the wood. Five men and a cor poral Is there corporal here?"
 Yes, sir" said one of the men.
 Well, corporal, you take the party, said the officer. 'Half-right from here, behind the wood you'll find the dump
 Ten minutes later the party went back for rations The night was very dark, the sky was overcast with heavy, black clouds, and not a star was visible. Away on the right an artillery duel was in prog ress and lurid flashes of bursting explo-

WILSON AND THE TICKETS.

As the editor of the Woman's Citizen remarks: Ut is fact that there remains in America one man who has known ex- actly the right attitude to take and main- tain toward the pickets. A whimsical smile slightly puckered at the roots by a sense of the ridiculous, polite bow, and, for the rest, a complete ignoring of their existence. He happens to be the man around whom the little whirlwind whirls the President of the United States"
 We urge the rest of the country to take example from him, in its emotional reaction to the picket question.

THE LAST WORD ON FIGHTERS.

THE LAST WORD ON FIGHTERS
 When the picketers, to their own de- light, and to the disgust of every pa- triotic suffragist, came into the limelight, there arose a most natural desire on the part of the friends of suffrage to have the millions of women composing the National American Suffrage association denounce publicly all activities of the so-calied woman's party. Such repudia- .tion was necessary and in keeping with the dignity of our organization.
 In accordance with such a policy the executive board of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association passed the following resolution:

 England received S9s per cent of an buttCl exported from Sweden in 1914, amounting to S2,SoS tubs. It dropped to s7,376 tubs in 1915. and. according to official statistics for 1916, just issued, went down to 55S tubs last year. Ex- ports to Germany and Austria increased from less than 10000 tubs in 1914 to 47,152 in 1915, and 57.3s9 in 1916. The domestic consumption increased greatly in 1916. due propaby to the falling off in the fabrication of margarine. Prices were roundly 50 per cent more than in peace times.

A sHoRN SAMSON.


 The bill giving suffrage to women in England has only passed the House of Commons. Why is the victory spoken of as though it were complete? Doesn't a bill have to pass the House of Lords and receive the seal of the King to become a law?
 It is true that the electoral reform bill has only passed the House of Commons but the triumph is as secure as though the English woman had already cast her first ballot for a member of Parliament. The House of Commons is the controlling power in England The House of Lords is like a hen -pecked husband-a Samson shorn of his locks. The sheering occurred in l91l and Samson perforce was his own barber-subjeet to gentle persuasion from without The House of Lords lost their legislative power when the Parliament act of 1911 took away the power of veto. By the terms of this act a bill although voted down in the House Of Lords, be- comes law if passed a certain number of times in the prescribed way by the House of Commons. Thus the legislative power of the House of Lords resolves it. self into a power to delay rather than defeat the passage of measure really desired by the House of Commons.
 The equal suffrage bill is favored In the House of Lords, however as well as in the commons, so that there will be no delay in it's passage. As for the sig nature and seal of the King: It has none of the significance attached to the sign ing of a bill by the President of the Uni ted States, because the judgment of an other individual does not enter into the matter. "The King can do no wrong" says tradition. Very well" says the Eng fish democracy, then the King can do nothing" Every act of the King must be countersigned by a responsible minister of the government, and a minister is a representative of the majority party In Parliament, which put the bill through in the first place. That is why the women of England rejoice in victory practically complete.
 PRIMARY ELECTION EXULAINED.
 What is meant by primary election?
 Political parties in the United States are extra legal. The constitution is si- lent concerning them Washington ad- vised strongly against the development of party machinery. ct, from the first election until today. parties have been the most necessary and efficient methods of conducting nominations for every office in the United States from the President down to the county road supervisor.
 In spite of their supreme importance, party politics were absolutely unregulat- ed for a hundred years. It Is only in the present decade that they have become g subject for legislation Nominations for public office were made formerly in party conventions, local state and na- tional, conducted, particularly for local offices by the political ring" It has been said that the government of the most democratic people in the world had re- solved itself into three bosses on back room sofa.''

RESOLUTION OF B. E. s. A.

hESOLOIlON OF D. E. D. A. Be it resolved that the executive board of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage as sociation publicly condemn the militant methods resorted to by that organiza tion known as the woman s party.
 Furthermore, be it resolved that the association reaffirms it's loyalty to the present administration, and that copy of these resolutions be sent to the Pres dent of the United States.
 NO KIN.
 But yet there remain group who can not seem to realize that the woman s party is, indeed, to quote the splendid cartoon in The Age-Herald, No Kin" to the great mass of loyal suffragists. There is a temptation on the part of everyone to denounce and denounce again the silly antics of the woman's party. In so doing the loyal patriots of this country very ironically play into the hands of the agitators themselves. The patriots pay for the publicity accord ed these unpatriotic women, whose one desire is publicity.

 corruption the device of conducting pri- mary elections was instituted by state legislation. Primaries were first adopted in Alabama in 1903. A primary election is an election for nomination of a candi- date to run for public office. Only members of the party may vote at the primary election, but since each party holds an election this gives the vast ma jority of voters a voice in the choice of nominee. The general methods of con ducting primary elections are regulated be each state, but the details are left to the parties, and the expense as well.
 Primaries are, of course, of utmost im- portance in the south, where one party is in control. To southern suffragists, pri- mary elections spell Arkansas! For Ar kansas the state legislature has admitted women to full rights and privileges of all primary elections. This amounts sub stantially to full suffrage, but the wom- en of Arkansas are working now to have equal suffrage written into the new con stitution. Alabama suffragists are like poor children, gazing in at shop win dow at Christmas tune, when they con sider the possibilities of their neighbor's constitutional convention to be held in September.
