DeSlnH11B or a naL10l-WtQe movement among college undergraduates to inn press upon congress that the younger men of this country demand con- structive legislation.
 The mass meeting held under the auspices of the New Haven branch of the National Security League last Tuesday night was deemed one of the most successful gatherings in the Though strictly speaking civic af- fair rather than Yale one, both students and citizens attended in very large numbers.
 Professor Henry Farnam. "A. open ed the meeting by stating that while the League was extremely undesirous of war 1t was nevertheless decidedly in favor of military preparedness and highly endorses universal training.
 After an enthusiastic applause Pro- lessor F'arnam introduced Governor Holcomb, who then took charge of the meeting. The Governor told of the records already made by those taking the military census, stating that over one hundred thousand blanks had been filled already and put on file at Hartford.
 Hon. Henry l.. Stinson was the next speaker. MT. Stimson was the Secretary of War under President Taft and is considered one of the best informed military advisors this coun- try has ever had. The other speakers were Rear-AdmiraI Bradley E. Fisk. and Hermann Hagedorn.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

News from Midd1etown that the Post Office Department declined to aid in the military census of the ton of Governor Holcomb, Is some what startling. Request was made for access to the post office house ad

WILSON FAvoRs SUFFRAGE AZ
AN ISSUE IN EVERY STATE.
The President Praises Capacity SHOWN
by Sex In Period Of Great
National Need.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - President Wilson
gave full Endorsement to woman suf-
frage as an issue in every state.
Addressing a delegation of 100 lead
ers Of the New York state woman
suffrage party who called at the
White House TO obtain an expression
in support of the campaign in that
state. the President, in emphatic
terms. declared that woman suffrage
is one of the fundamentals Of democ-
racy whose proper settlement Is de-
mandBd by the issues Of the war. He
praised the spirit. capacity and vision
of American women in the war.
Il believe" he said. "that Just be-
cause we are quickened by the ques-
tions of this war we ought to be quick
ened to give this question Of woman
suffrage immediate consideration"
Speaking as "one Of the spokesmen
Of q great party" he pledged his
hearty support. and added:
II want to speak for myself and
say that 1t seems to mo that this is
the time for the states of this Union
to take this action.
Explaining his leaning toward suf.
frase as q state. rather than . ma
tional issue, he said:
II perhaps may be touched . little
too much by the traditions of our pol.
itics-traditions which lay such ques-
tons almost entirely upon the states.
but want to see communities declare
themselves quickened at this time
quickening.
"It Il with great pleasure that re-
ceive you. l esteem It . privilege to
do 20. I know the difficulties which
you have been working under In New
York state, 30 clearly set forth by
Mrs. Whitehouse, but, in my judg.
ment, those difficulties cannot be used
as an excuse by the leaders of any
party or by the voters Of any party
for neglecting the questions which
you are pressing upon them, because.
after all, the whole world now is wit
Messing a struggle which goes deeper
and touches more of the foundations
of the organized life of men than any
struggle that has ever taken place be
fore. and no settlement of the Ques-
tions that lie on the surface can sat.
isfy a situation which requires that
the questions which lie underneath
and at the foundation should also be
settled and settled right.
1T is almost absurd to say that the
country depends upon the women for
a large part of the inspiration Of its
life. That is too obvious to say; but
1t is now depending upon the women
also for suggestions of service which
have been rendered in abundance and
with the distinction OF originality"

Oct, 30.-The first German prisoner
of war was taken by the American ex.
peditionary forces died in an Ameri.
can field hospital. having been shot
when he encountered an American pa.
troll In No Mans Land In front Of the
American trenches. He with another
German was discovered Saturday
night by the patrol and was called
upon to halt. The Germans ran, the
patrol fired. and one of the enemy was
hit. Tho prisoner was removed to q
field hospital, where the combined ef
forts of several surgeons failed to
save his life.
The prisoner was . mail carrier, and
letters OF some value were found on
him. He explained his presence near
the American trenches by saying he
had lost his way I'm the dark.
He declared that the German sol
diers did not know that Americans
were on the front or In France, the
officers telling them nothing.
London.-The allies are cheered by
the confidence in the Franco British
armies on the western 'front.' Try az
they may. the Germans cannot break
that wall of steel. The heavy artil
lery battle is unabated in Flanders
and in sections of the Aisne front and
