With the British Armies in finn
Iders, Nov 7.-Canadians held tight to
the British victory at Passehendaele
today.
They stood their ground all through
the night, hanging to the entire vii
lage in the face of heavy artillerying.
The Germans had orders direct from
Hindenburg that the ridge positions
must be Immediately retalden. The
enemy massed tremendous forces for
those attacks, several times-but on
every occasion British observers
caught hint of the menace and Brit
ish guns promptly put down such q
fearful barrage around the regained
land that the enemy was checked in
his tracks.
British artillery today was bonn
harding Roulers, key to the German
line Of Communications to the coastal
submarine bases.
Capture Of ,Passchendaele in yester-
day s great push brought the British
lines to within five miles Of the rail-
road center.
From behind the lines British heavy
guns Immediately began their pulver-
izing of Roulers. The bombardment
was unceasing today.
Capture of Passehendaele and neigh
boring villages puts the British on the
very top of the Passchendaele ridge
and with only small remaining bit
of the high land still in the enemy's
hands. He was clinging desperately to
this today.
High American army officers saw
the British go over the top in the vic
torioua assault.

Brown declared to the United Press,
"The New York delegation in congress
will be in favor of suffrage hereafter.
That means forty-three votes in the

President Wilson is steadily working to-
ward a national suffrage amendment.
We, by our victory in New York, have
made it easier for the president to sup
port this legislation.
"There is no doubt but that the
amendment will go through at the next
session. A reputation Of suffrage now
would be a reputation of the ideals we
are fighting for in this war. But votes

"Women, however, will be found in
smaller public offices in increasing num-

-as a result of our victory. And you
must say one thing for women-they
are always honest in office"
Mrs. Brown was asked whether she
believed the votes of women in New
York would make impossible another
Tammany victory.
"I wouldn t like to venture that, -
she replied, "but women are always
conservative in their voting"
Mrs. Brown said she believed Mayor
Mitchell was the conservative in the
