Flags of 90 nations waved before
the Senate of the United States on

all these nations have given full or

Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zeal

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait appeared
at the Senate hearing, in behalf OF
the Federal Suffrage Amendment,
fanked by these 22 flags, as a con-
crete illustration of the fact that in
no country except the United States

freedom by referendum to a general
electorate.
Since January 1, 1917 the franchise
has been conferred upon the women

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A few weeks ago, the president
of the Committee of Civil Assis-
lance, Signor Adolfo Appolloni,
made this appeal to the Italian
Minister, Signor Boselli:
THE women deserve the admir-
alton not simply of Rome but Of
all Italy. Let US pay to women
the same honors paid to men who
are fighting. Considering that our
ancestors placed women in the
highest positions, surrounding
them with the greatest respect
and privilege in the institution OF
the Vestal Virgins, we should also
give them higher status. that
they may with enthusiasm and de-
votion, minister to the dearest
and noblest of institutions-our
country"

A year later General ST. Clair led an
other expedition composed of regu-
lars and militia numbering in all l4OO.
The results Of the revolution were
again ignored and St Clair was de
feated by a nearly equal force Of In

Convinced by these events that a
better policy was required Congress
in 1892 adopted what was in fact a
universal military service act in that
it REQUIRED the enrolment Of all able
bodied men between the ages Of is
and As years.
Il laid down the democratic doctrine
that every able bodied male citizen
owed military service to his country.
Congress did not however. make
adeqfate provision for arming ana

each should within six months provide
himself with musket. a sufficient
bayonet. a belt etc. etc.
