gaining at Bulleoourt north OF the
Scarpe river The fighting there con-
tinues with undated violence. Field
Marshal Haig reports.
Here what amounts to hand to
hand struggle has continued for two
weeks. sometimes advancing and some
times retreating, but always netting
slow but sure gains for Haig's legions-
The German wireless recently said;
This is the twelfth attack on the
mass of craters which represent Bulle-
court since April II. IT, however,
the English are bent upon possession
Of this heap of ruins they will have
to repeat the attack for the thirteenth
time"
In effect, the village now is virtually
all British not needing the German
admission that the thirteenth assault
was complete in its conquest. The
Germans twice have frenziedly coun-
ter attacked the British holdings in
the Hindenbufg line through the edge
of the village, leaving many dead as
they staggered back defeated.
The British are almost impercepti-
bly, closing in about Lens in much the
same manner, with almost continuous
fighting: reported.

FORCED INTO THE WAR

1T is plain enough how we
were forced into the war. The
extraordinary insults and aggres-
sions of the Imperial German
Government left us no self-re-
specting choice but to take up
arms in defense of our rights as
a free people and of our honor
as a sovereign government. The
military masters of Germany de-
MED US the right to be neutral.
They filled our unsuspecting COM
munities with vicious spies and
conspirators and sought to cor
rupt the opinion of our people in
their own behalf.
Much as we had desired
peace, it was denied us, asd not
of our own choice. This flag un-
der which we serve would have
been dishonoured had we with
held our hand. Woodrow Will
son, President of the United
States.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS

The following appeal has beer
sent out by the National Wo
mans Suffrage Association tt
the people of Arizona.
1.-The day of the deliverance Of
women from the long years OF
political bondage is at hand, anC
we, who have given our money
and efforts that your women
might be free, now ask that you
reciprocate and help us to open
the door which leads to victory
for all the women of our nation.
"Mrs. Frances w. Munds, of
Prescott, who served as State
chairman of the Suffrage Cam
paign Committee when the wo-
men of Arizona obtained the bal
lot, and Mrs. Bette White, of
Douglas. also an active member
for suffrage, have been appoint
ed by the N. w. S. A. to solicit
funds in answer to the above ap-
peal.
'The N. w. S. A. not only
financed the suffrage campaign
In Arizona, but sent us DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, who made a
speaking tour of the State and
won many votes for the suffrage
cause. This is the first appeal
for funds which has come to
Arizona from the National Asso-
citation and should certainly meet
with generous response.
'The money obtained will be
used to help finance the great
suffrage drive that will be made
in congress at the coming De-
cember session, when it is con-
fidently expected that the feder-
al amendment which has received
the endorsement Of all political
parties, will be passed. This
amendment will then come auto
matically before the following
and each successive legislature
of the states until ratified by
three-fourths of them when it
becomes national law.
When this method of submis-
sion is obtained, it will do away
with the present tedious method
used in several of the states,
such as having it passed by two
and sometimes three successive
legislatures before it can be SUBJ
mitted to a vote of the people.
active suffrage organizations
will be maintained in every state
until ratification of the federal
amendment is obtained.
"Since it is estimated that for
every man sent into active mill
tary service there must remain
five other persons engaged in
producing, supplying the neces-
sary war equipment, and that
three of the five so engaged will
necessarily be women, equal
suffrage has now become a war
measure and it is confidently pre-
dicted that as matter of expe-
diency the various states will
ratify national suffrage as soon
as it is submitted to them, in or
der to release the two million
suffrage workers for service in
the various branches where they
will be so badly needed during
