Nearly a million horses and more
than a quarter of million mules is
the export record of the United

compilation by the National City
Bank of New York, made on re-

mortality among American horses in
the war zone, shows that the num-
ber of horses exported from the be-
ginning of August 1914, to the pres

stated value of the horses exported

DANISH WEST INDIES.
New Suffrage Problem Now Confronts

The purchase Of the Danish West In
dies presents a new suffrage problem to
the congress Of the United States be-
cause the women Of the islands now
possess rights Of equal suffrage to those
OF the men.
1t is probable that a separate govern
ment for the islands will be provided.
Marked opposition has been manifested
to plan to include the islands i'll the
Porto Rico government. Senator Shat
roth of Colorado recently conferred
with Senator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, concern
ing the legislation necessary for the
| Danish West indies. 1t was decided
| that nothing should be written into
the Porto Riean bill concerning the
newly acquired islands both because of
| opposition there and because, in SEN
ator Stone S opinion, the actual pos
session of the islands will not come
about for several months.
| With reference to Danish West In
dian legislation, officers of the Nation
al American Suffrage association take
the position that the United States, the
first country to declare that govern
ments derived their just powers from
the consent of the governed should
permit the women of the islands to re-
tain their existing suffrage rights.
These rights, denied to women in
many states of this country, were
granted to the women of the Danish
West Indies b. the kingdom of Den
mark
:" think no existing privilege should
be taken from the people of the is
lands" said Senator Shafroth, chair
man of the senate committee on
Pacific islands and Porto Rico. q dc
not know that bill affecting the is
lands will come to this committee but
| favor granting these islands the mos
liberal privileges consistent with oul
possession of them.
Pending the actual framing of legis
5 iation for the government Of the IS
/ lands, the name of which may be-
changed to the Dewey islands, othe
members of congress take the position
that republic cannot consistently di
minish the suffrage rights OF new
peoples who come under its control.
E The women of Denmark enjoy full
suffrage The parliament granted
them municipal suffrage first and, attic
