pedition occurs.
AS the Tommies are busy men steal
ing. the Germans are kept on needles
and pins. Since the Allied counter OF
fensive turned the Crown Princes
march on Paris into harassing rear
guard action, II is known that the
enemy has spent many anxious mo-
ments
Captured documents show the Ger
man high command is issuing order
after order in an effort TO stir its un-
derlings to guard against surprise oper-
ations.
Further evidence has been obtalner
indicating the postponed offensive
against the British may come soon, as
Ludendorff is known TO be under
pressure from home to do something
before his initiative is lost completely

NOW FOR SUFFRAGE

Louisville. Ky.-The change in
ownership Of the Louisville Courier
Journal. entailing a change in edi-
torfal management. has established an
attitude as strongly favorable to
woman suffrage as it's former policy
was opposed To 1t. In an edito-
RAJ, the new management OF the
CONFECTIONERY announced its change
with respect to woman suffrage,
but II has not published it's views on
prohibition. With regard to suffrage.
1T says:
When English women first ella m
Iored for suffrage. the shock to the
British temperament was severe. But,
behold the British temperament today,
The somewhat ancient suggestion that
American women should be given the
power OF the ballot caused the same
sort of perpleked staring. but the
march of the idea "a steady, and, what
ever may be urged for or against il. it
Is marching on, The war Is bringing
women a TO face with civic prob
lens They are revealing a positive
interest in the affairs OF state. This
interest will not die when the war
