~ cannot understand how any suf-

to the suffrage cause. l consider the
the past winter, and particularly at
the present time. the greatest obstacle
now existing to the passage Ut The
federal woman suffrage amendment
in congress-"

Millions of women in the United
States feel humiliation ove the fact
that Jul allies. Russia, Great Britain
and Canada. have either liberated
their women or promised to libera,s
them from the political disabilities
world around. We feel that u men
In congress should not wait another
minute to submit to the legislatures
the federal amendment for woman
suffrage.
Nevertheless. we are not in the

that has been used by the White
House picksts to announce u humil-
iation to our visitors from over the
sea. We consider 1t unwise, unpatri-
otto, and most Improbable to the
