WOMEN HAVE WON
FIGHT FOR BALLOT
SUFFRAGE is ENDORSED BY BRIT
IsH PREMIER AND WOMEN
MAY VOTE.
Franchise Reforms to be Granted IN
Recognition Of Sacrifices and SER
vices of Women Of England
In World War.

Lopdon.-After an interesting De
bate on March % the house OF COM
mons by majority of 279 expressed
approval of legislation on the lines OF
the speakers conference recommenda-
lions for franchise reform.
The small minority against such
measure represented not the actual OPP
ponents of reform but rather members
who were DESTROYS of postponing leg
islation of such a contentious charac-
ter until after the war.
The great feature of the debate was
the frank acceptance by ex-Premier
Asquith and Andrew Bonar Law, chan
cellor of the exchequer, of women's
right to vote as a result of their war
sacrifices and services, and Premier
Lloyd Georges whole-hearted accept
ance OF the conference recommenda-
ton. He was even willing to go still
further and make the qualifying pc
Rod three instead of six months.
A small party in the commons ex'
pressed their continued opposition to
women's suffrage, but their numbers
were too small to carry great weight
The nationalists announced that they
would support Mr.. Asquith's motion.
AS the result of the debate the gov
eminent, as Mr.. Bonar Law announced
will proceed with legislation to give
effect to the recommendations of the
conference.

BIRMINGHAM's GROWTH

From the Anniston Star.
 It was with genuine pride that the people of Alabama read of Birmingham s splendid response to the call for Young Mems Christian association funds, Red Cross subscriptions and liberty bond pur- chases. In this respect Birmingham proved that her people can get together when it is necessary, and if the organi- kept together. there would hardly be a limit to the development of the Magic City.
 At present when Anniston is contem- plating an enlarged membership for the Chamber of Commerce, we may well it was in that city recently that the newly organized Civic association set a new record, having secured the largest number of members of any similar or ganization in the south. Two thousand names were enrolled in a very few days ately equal number in as short a time. The Civic association has taken over the rooms of the old Birmingham News paper club, and there will be found no finer headquarters in the south for ad- vanta geously advertising city. Birmingham is attracting capital to the south and to Alabama, and Anniston will reap a reflex benefit from the Magic City,s growth. We have no envy of her, therefore and we rejoice in her new pros- poets for industrial prowess

TOBACCO IN THE TRENCHES

From the New York Medical Journal.
 Some of the clergymen of Los Angeles object to the distribution of tobacco among the soldiers at the front by the Red Cross society. While the grounds for this objection are not stated in the newspaper reports they can easily be- inferred. It Is hardly likely that they will carry any weight with the Red Cross authorities.
 The intense nervous strain imposed ly the conditions at the front in the pres ent war requires that everything possi- ble should be done to allay nervous irri- tatlon Amusements for the men when relieved of duty at the immediate front are recognized as an important factor in preventing neuroses. Many of the men in the army are confirmed smokers, induce a degree of nervous irritation which will materially initiate against their efficiency. It would be the height of folly, both from a medical and a mils itary standpoint, to deny tobacco to the men at the front
 Much to their credit, the women of Los Angeles who are prominent in re- lief work practically unanimously favor providing tobacco along with other com forts for men at the front.

Overalls May Be
 Worn Ad LiaiGug7n

A MOTHER wartime crisis was GA met and successfully passed in Kansas City. Women employees of the Kansas City Terminal Coach company threw up their hands with horror when it was reported that they would have to wear overalls-bifurcat lose their jobs.
 Post haste the president of the Woman's Trade league and prominent clubwomen sought out the district manager of the Pullman company, which controls the coach company. This official, with rare presence of mind, said, "They may wear overalls, but it isn't compulsory"
 The women objected to overalls chiefly, it is said, because they feared such garments "would, in a manner, unsex them. They are obliged to work
 lthe yards where there are ten men to every woman and they fear they no longer would be respected"
 Some of the negro women have been wearing overalls and the spectacle presented by the fat ones was thought to be better adapted to motion picture comedy than the stern business of keeping the nations wheels turning while menfolk go to war.
 It is gratifying to know that wom- en who take the places of men in the industrials will not lose their regard for appearance, particularly in the matter of dress. After the war is over and the Kaiser is sent a-packing the utilitarian garments which so many women are wearing nowadays Will De relegated to the past ana Dame Fashion will be challenged to do her worst-or best-along strictly feminine lines.
 Dr. Michaelis says history will appre- ciate von Bethmann- Hollweg's work. History is going to devote about one paragraph to von Bethmann- Hollweg. 1 and the chances are it won't be compli- mentary.

small,. work in France

Readers of The Age-Herald have, no doubt, noticed the difference in the hu- man interest aspect of the Associated Press stories recently sent from Amer ican headquarters in France" said C.. NJ Stanley. "They are written by a master reporter-probably the best in the entire Associated Press service.
 "The writer is Robert T. Small or Bob Small as his friends call him. Small has long had a reputation as one of the best writers in the service, but he is an all round man. He was for several years superintendent of the southern division of the Associated Press stationed at Atlanta, and later at Wash ington. Prior to that he had handled presidential campaigns, politics. descrip- tive stories and, in fact, every class of reporting.
 His assignment in France gives him another chance to cover news which he loves much better than the routine of his office duties.
 Small is son of the Rev. Sam Small, and he married a daughter of Ad- miral sigsbee. Incidentally. Small is a very intimate friend of Fritz Larkin of Birmingham"

BIRMINGHAM,s FLAG

From the American Lumberman
 The following paragraph from the Blr- mingham (Ala) Age-Herald indicates something of the state of mind of the people of that great southern city with respect to the preparedness campaign. The liberty pole" used to be a common sight in almost every midwestern village less than half-century ago; why should It not be restored to its position? Flags on school and other public buildings are all well enough, but they do not take the place of the lofty liberty pole erected for the sole purpose of swinging Old Glory to the breeze. Will you move for liberty pole in your community? This rom the Age-Herald: 'Birmingham. after it's parade and its flag raising of yesterday, Is immensely happy. Bdr- mingham turned out, and Birmingham saw patriotism, heard patriotism, ac- ttaily felt patriotism as it entertained General Leonard Wood, heard him speak. saw him assist in raising old Glory to lofty heights, and witnessed such sight as has never before been seen on Birmingham streets Birming-
 ham doffs its hat to Joe Saks, chairman Q. the parade committee; O. H. Martin sen, chairman of the flag raising com
 mlttee; the Italian societies, the various
 fraternal orders, civic bodies, Red Cross societies. suffrage and women's sections; Col. T. o. Smith, grand marshal of the | day, and his aides. The parade was a | decided success"

WHY JoACHIMf
, New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
 That rumor from Amsterdam that Prince Joachim, the Kaiser's sixth son, is his fathers choice for the succession, has not yet been torpedoed to finish
 Why Joachim?
 Joiakim, we find in Holy Writ. was shortened from Jehoikim. and means Jehovah has set up.''
 Ye learn from Nehemiah, chapter 12, verse 10, that Joshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib. and Ella shib begat Joiada
 Even that doesn't tell us much. But the ways of the Kaiser, like the reason ing of most Germans are past under standing
 But from the second book of Kings we learn more.
 And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah, king in the room of Josiah. his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim and took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
 'Jehoiakim was twenty and five years when he began to reign and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he ex- acted the silver and the gold of the peo- pie of the land, of every one according to his taxation to give it unto Pharaoh nechoh.'
 The Chronicles of>the Kings and the book of Daniel also contain references to Joiakim, principally condensations of the foregoing, but Jeremiah closes the chapter when he says:
 They shall not lament for him, saying. An, lord. or ah his glory! He shall be buried with the burial of an ass drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jeru- salem"
 The great lamenter had no outcries of grief for the young ruler who perpetu- ated the evils of his fathers. Again we are compelled to ponder ''Why Joachim?'
