Mrs. Josephus Daniels Speaks at
Luncheon at Suffrage Quarters.

hhfranchisement of women is so near
at, hand and so certain of speedy ac
cofnpilshment that it is really a waste
OF time to talk about it, asserted Mrs.

tary of the Navy. speaking at a tea

duced by Miss Mary Garrett Hays, and

ITO desire thing very much and
to do everything possible to bring
that thing about" she said, means

to pass. Women have desired suffrage
with all their hearts and have worked
for it for many years, and now it is
very near at hand"

bill the compositors and pressmen

First of Heavy Spring Fogs.

The first of the heavy spring fogs
came yesterday. For the greater part
of the day the river for much of it's
length was shrouded in a mist blanket
so thick that objects a hundred feet
away could not be made out.
The fog prevented number of sail
ing craft from leaving port and forced
the steamers to move with caution and
a constant sounding of whistles. These
fogs are likely to come at any time at
this season of the year

ARE MEN TOO. PARTICULAR

A prominent gentleman remarked
to US that he loses faith in the female
part Of the community when he sees
one of the sex out in summer weather
with furs over her shoulders or carrv-
ing them on her arm. Really, he said.
it showed lack of common sense
which is, indeed, sad judgment from
one who thinks so well of the women
He went on to,remark that he gets so
disguised with that sort of camon-
flage that his faith in woman suffrage
begins to weaken. Of course, it is not
right for him to 60 to that length. for
it he did he would rule out the men
for other and worse things. But we
do think that if wearing, fur canes
in summer would cause one brother
to offend, the suffragist should not
wear furs in summer while the world
standeth. And she shouldn't. IF she
could hear the fun that is made If
her and the ridicule directed toward
her she would consign her furs to
the cedar chest. "
Another gentleman sitting near
said, Eyes, and I am against the
women, too, because of the little tufts
OF hair they wear to hide their ears
That is as big nonsense as summer
furs. We agreed but said. "You
must remember that some women

The high aims of America and her
allies are we'll expressed in President
Wilson's greetings to France on Bas-
tile day:
GAS France celebrated our Fourth
of July, so do we celebrate her Four
teenth, keenly conscious of a COM
radeship of arms and of purpose of
which we are deeply proud. The sea
seems very narrow today, France is so
close neighbor to our hearts. The
war is being fought to save ourselves
from intolerable things, but it is also
being fought to save mankind. We
extend our hands to each other, to
the great peoples with whom we are
associated; and to the peoples every
where who love right and price jus

secrate ourselves once more to the
noble enterprise of peace and justice,

lea is happy to do honor to that flag.
