A VOICE FROM NEW YORK.
Time of War Does Not Call for Con-
sideration of Equal Suffrage
Dro1acitiOn


Rochester Post-Express: 1t is much
to be regretted that the legislature
weakly permitted the resubmission of
the suffrage question this fall. only a
year after it was so decisiyely defeat
ed by the voters of the state. Never
before were so many matters of vital
Importance demanding the best
thought Of mankind. Never before was
there equal urgent need of all that
every man and woman can do to light
en- the crushing burdens Of the ma
tons. Never before was woman's
work in such demand. and never be-
fore were the noble women of the
country working so feverishly, deyot-
eddy to assuage the sorrow and soothe
the pain of a world in the throes. And
yet at this crisis of the ages when
humanity is in such desperate straits
that millions lack for the barest needs
of life and furnishing thousands are
dying week by week, women from
every part of the union will overrun
our state for the next two months and
90 ranting and railing the length and
breadth of it clamoring to be allowed
to do mans work while refusing to do
their part Of the work this universal
calamity devolves on womankind.
While tens of millions OF men are
daring and bearing everything that
freedom may not perish from the
earth and while tens of millions of
women are enduring everything and
laboring to the limit of their powers
to alleviate the unexampled misery OF
mankind. these stridulous lime-light
seekers go traipsing through the coun.
try quoting in justification Of their
refusal to do charitable or useful work
the words Of their leader Lucy Burns
before the house judiciary committee,
1T is astonishing" declared this WON
an, that we should be asked to do
Red Cross work. Suffrage comes first
and we must devote all our efforts to-
wards freeing the women of the Uni
ted States" Other leaders, Mrs. Gait
among them, take the same ground
t.'Have a card printed" she told the
suffrage convention of 1915, Saying
that we suffra gists are obliged to give
ourselves and our money to suffrage
work"
! But this attitude Of the suffragists is
/ rot surprising in view Of the fact tina,
at the outbreak of the war their or
/ ganization ignored the proposal OF
Mrs. Dodge, then president of the
woman's association opposed to suf
frage, for a truce upon the subject in
order that all the women of the coun
| try might unite in Red Cross and other
relief work. That proposition did not
and does not appeal to the womer
! who want the vote; hence we have
| had the unseemly spectacle of sutfrag
! lists from all over the country gathered
at the nations capital to heckle ano
| harass the president while earnest
womanly women throughout the LAND
with different conception of theil
( duty are devottng all their surplus
| time and strength and money TO re
| lieving the woe of the world 1t is
only fair to add, however, that this
attitude of the suffrage leaders quoted
! is not representative of all the women
in the movement. Many earnest suf
! fragists here and elsewhere have
| thrown themselves heartily into Red
Cross and other relief work.

APPEALS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Correspondence OF the ASSO. Press
Copenhagen. Oct. 11.--Appeals for
subscriptions to funds for the pur-
chase of Christmas presents for the
soldiers in the trenches are appear
ing in the German press. The Ger
mans have learned Dy experience 20
make an early start in organizing this
all-importan feature of soldiers life.
Many of the larger newspapers are
conducting special funds for Christ
mas and almost every town is making
subscriptions for it's soldiers Appeals
for funds have been issued by various
army corps.
The presents which do so much to
maintain the spirits Of the soldiers in
their dreary life at the front usually
consist of small Christmas boxes for
the individual soldiers, containing
small articles Of comfort, necessity or
amusement.
The value of this stimulant to the
morale of the troops is so recog-
nizAd by the military authorities that
of gifts rank with NUM-
tons as regards urgency of transporta-
ton Just before Christmas.

No DIPLOMATS.

Correspondence of the Asso Press
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nov. IS
Germany has had no diplomatic rep
resentative in Argentina since Count
Luxburg received his passports. The
German Government is without menas
of appointing a minister
The secretaries and attaches at the
German Legation in this city have no
diplomatic standing being merely
clerks to the accredited minister or
charge d'affaires. When Count Lux
burg received his passports from the
Argentine Foreign Office, he could not
invest the secretary Of the legation
with the rank and diplomatic char
acter of a charge d'affaires, as he had
never been presented to and recog-
nized by the government in a diplo-
matte capacity.
Moreover. If the German Govern
ment should attempt to put the lega-
ton in charge of persons who are al
ready in the field, it Is not considered
likely here that the Argentine Gov
eminent would accept either as min
lister Or charge d'affaires any of those
persons who have followed Count Lux
burg in the capacity of accomplices or
who have simply been his instru-
ments.
Therefore, ay diplomatic relations
between Germany and the Argentine
Republic will hvae to be carried on

Facts About the Sugar Situation

Our Government has asked you to use sugar spar
n&ly. We believe that the people Of this country
will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar
supply when they know the facts.
These facts are follows:
More than twothirds Of the Of Europes
sugar supply is within the present battle lines This
has resulted in greatly reducing the production Of
sugar in Europe.
England and France and other countries have been
forced to 50 for sugar to Cuba.
Ordinarily, nearly all Of the Cuban sugar comes
to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for
home This is not the

Favorable There

This has been a week of real
summer weather and the grain
has taken on a rapid stride
toward filling and many fields
have even began to turn to the
ripening stage, especially barley
and rye In this vicinity there
is little to complain about as to
lack of rains and weather condi-
tions, and prospects at this time
are favorable for a fairly good
crop. Some sections of this
state have not been blessed with
the moisture we have had here,
so the farmers and land owners
here should feel grateful for
