WOMEN Will
CAMP PAICN FOR
FEDERAL LAW
Richmond Suffrage Workers
Do Not Believe Courts
Ruling Means Defeat of
Suffrage.

Richmond suffragists, despite the
decision of the Indiana supreme court
denying women of the state the right
to vote, are far from being discour-
aged.
They are now pinning their faith on
the early passage of a federal amend
ment giving women the privilege Of
voting.
President Wilson has declared that
this is a good time for voters to ex-
press their sentiments on the suffrage
questions at the polls He recently
told a party of women suffrage work
ers, speaking as an individual, that he
hoped the campaign for woman's votes
in New York would be successful
Now for the federal amendment" ;"
Richmond women say.
Action Is Not Defeat.
A number Of the women, interviewed
Saturday regarding the law held In
valid Friday by the Indiana Supreme
court did not consider the edict the
defeat of suffrage.
However several of the suffrage
workers pointed out long delay would
be encountered in any attempt to OBJ
tain an amendment to the state con-
stitution giving women the right Of
ballo and said they pinned their faith
on the early passage OF the Federal
aBTAHdmeut. =
At the State W. c. r. u. convention
held in Anderson last week, Mrs Rich
ard Edwards Of Peru. president of the
State Woman's Franchise League was
very optimistic over the passage Of the
law and felt sure that Indiana women
would have partial suffrage.
Other delegates to the convention
however we're not quite so optimistic
and seemed to feel they were facing
defeat.
That Richmond women we're more
than eager for suffrage is shown by
the large number of women in the
various precincts who signified their
intention of voting at the city election.
In the fourteenth precinct the In
spector found that only eight women
out of 100 did not intend voting on
November 6.
Express Their Views.
Richmond women expressed the fol-
lowing views Saturday:
Mrs. Millard Markle, president of
the Richmond Woman's Franchise
League: 1T surely is disappointing
but we will start an educational cam
paign for federal amendment"
Mrs. s w. Hodgin: Il felt almost
positive the suffrage law would be
declared invalid but nevertheless /
am not discouraged"
Miss Martha Whitacre, president of
the Teachers Federation: II am not
at all surprised. feel that the liquor
element is back Of this
Mrs. M. F. Johnston. member of
the Woman's Franchise League of
Richmond: Tn a way I am not very
much surprised. I have just returned
from Fort Wayne where attended the
state convention Of the Federation of
Women's clubs and was in conference
with number of important suffrage
workers Of the state and they all seem
ed to feel as If the law would be made
invalid. 1t means we must do our
work all over again and 1t also means
Richmond wome nmust assist in every
way possible
Mrs Harlow Lindley: ''I am afraid
the women had too much faith in our
Legislators. We will get suffrage how
ever sooner or later"

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. 27.-American troops
are in the first line trenches on the
French front. The artillery fired the
first shot Of the war at o'clock on
the morning of a recent day at a Ger
man working party. There has been
intermittent artillery fighting since
The helmeted infantry marched in,
without the knowledge of the enemy,
on the same night through the rain
and mud. The French soldiers in the
trenches welcomed them enthusiastic-
ally. The nearest enemy trench is
several hundred yards away. The sec
tor Is one of the quietest on the front.
It has not been taken over by the
Americans, being under the control of
the French troops.
The Americans have shelled German
gun positions and troops, the enemy

of the first American shell fired is to

The case Is now In the possession Of
General Sibert. The shot was fired
by red haired gunner as his COM
rades in the rank and the assembled
officers cheered. Later luncheon in
the field was attended by the Ameri-
can and French artillerists in celebrba-
tion Of the first American contact with
the enemy.
The gun used In firing the first shot
was one of the famous French 75's. On
the second day the French shelled a
German battery position, which was
located by sound and the enemy rcpli-

Roads Were Muddy.
Standing in little almost deserted
shell wrecked village well within hos
tile gun range and few kilometers
from the trenches, the Associated
Press correspondent watched the
troops marching up In a driving rain
over roads covered with sticky mud.
The artillery had been firing all day
and as a result the impression was CIV
en- that there was considerable more
activity on this front than there had
been for some time.
1t was soon after lul1s in the firing
and in the dark that the first machine
gun hauled by Missouri mules, the
drivers swathed in ponchos and with
shrapnel helmets over their eyes,
came UP on the road beside a dark
canal. There was long line of these
and then came some infantry rolling
kitchens giving oft a savory odor of
warm food.
