STATE SUFfRACISTS
HOPE FOR BALLOT

Delaware suffraglsts are jubilant
over the fact that President Wilson
has suggested that a special suffrage
committee be appointed in the House
similar TO that which has already
been appointed in the Senate. This
suggestion. coming from the Presi-
dent. is considered by suffragists the
country over as significant.
At an executive meeting OF the Del
aware Equal Suffrage Association, to
be held at the home of Miss Agnes
Y. Downey tomorrow evening, the
Presidents suggestion will be dis
cussed and plans will be made where
by the representatives in Washington
from this State can be interviewed and
urged to lend their support to the
Presidents suggestion, which, it is
thought, will be a long step toward
securing the passage OF the Federal
amendment.
Suffragists are also delighted az an
address made by President Wilson
recently before a group Of labor
! leaders, during which he said: THAT
when men and women are equally adj
mitted to those rights (the right TO a
voice In the government we have the
] best safeguard of justice and peace
the world affords. There is no other
safeguard"

THAT JEWISH CHARITY BAZAAR.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Your paper has always been gem
erous in giving publicity to anything
worthy Of public support, and l should
like the opportunity, through your col
umns, to call attention TO nation
wide effort upon the success of which the
lives of at least three million people
depend.
Although the columns of our news
papers and magazines during the past
two and half years have been crowded
with reports OF devastation and suffering
in Europe, | make bold to say that u
majority of the people of tins country
have heard and read the least OF the peo-
pie who, it may be said without qualiii-
cation. have suffered and are suffering
the most. Living, as a majority OF
the Jews of Europe do, in the zone OF
actual warfare. where the armies Of the
bellieerents have been back and forth
three or four times, leaving destruction
and desolation in their wake, the plight
of over three million Jews beggars de-
scription. Their homes have been COM
pletely DESTROYED and their means OF
gaining a livelihood have vanished.
Thousands of non-combatant men,
women and children have already per-
ished from actual starvation and expos
IRE. The funds which have been raised
have been used for the purpose of fur
nishing these homeless and helpless peo-
pie with a single meal per day, consist
ing of barley soup and crust OF bread
hardly sufficient to keep body and soul
together, and we have been told that
there has not been enough to supply
them with even this small portion, many
being compelled TO be turned away after
having wanted in a line { '- hours. In
order 20 keep these three million souls
now on the point Of starvation, alive. it
is essential that not less than ten mill
lion dollars be raised during the present
year. campaign for the raising Of
which sum has been in progress for
some time. A local committee, under
the leadership of David Snellenburg. is
endeavOring TO raise Delaware's share,
and. in addition to soliciting contribu-
tions, is preparing for a charity bazaar
to be held in Turn Hall during the week
of June IL.
Work sudh as this, where the lives of
millions are literally at stake should
know no creed and no race. and | am
confident that the people of this com
munity, without regard to race or creed
will deem it a privilege no less a duty
to assist the local committee at the ba'
zaar or through personal contributions
I in this work of humanity.
Yours very truly.

Wounded nine times during his

badly Clipped but the citadel still

War. He was hit twice during that

It was in Samoliland that he re-

Commanding a force in Flanders in
the early days of the Great War the
General had his left arm shot off. That
laid him up for while but he came
back and was wounded next as com
mander OF q Gloucester corps at La

Then there followed three more
woundings occurring at various points
on the Western front.

"And that is what the Allies are

Exactly. They are fighting for the
right Of free peoples TO live as they
want, unmolested by powerful neigh
bors; they are lighting to end war for
all time. The overthrow OF the Ho-
henzollerns and the Hapsburgs would
ensure that right"

soon be restored between the Allie,
