AMENDMENTS OFFER MENACE

+ The first day of tRe~great fight
in the Senate for woman suf-
frage ended in a drawn battle
with the suffragists bringing up
re-enforcements.
A decision in the shape of a final
vote is not expected to be reach
ed before Saturday, and despite
the claims of both sides, the issue
is still in-doubt. IL
When the fight opened shortly
after the Senate met at noon
yesterday, with galleries filled
with women from all parts of the
country, it was found that in the
large attendance on the floor the
anti suffragists were represented
in full strength, whereas four
staunch prosufrage Senators
were absent, unavoidably delayed
in their attempts to reach the Sen
ate at the time the proposed con-
stitutional amendment was to be
called up for consideration and for
final disposition.
Senator Gore Arrives.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, arrived
in the Senate at 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, and word came from Senator
Johnson, of California; Senator La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, and Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, that they
were on their way, but would be un-
able to be present in the Senate in
time to vote before late in the day on
Saturday.
The surprising fact that the anti
suffragists had been able to muster
their full strength. and that the suf-
fragists lacked three of their full
number, caused a quick change of
front on the part of the leaders of the
suffragists, who had expected to
bring the amendment to a vote before
adjournment yesterday. The absence
of a single anti-suffrage Senator or
the arrangement of suitable pairs for
the absent pro-suffrage Senator's
would have permitted decisive action
yesterday, but to have forced a vote
would have meant almost sure defeat
for the amendment.
The Senate leaders and the suf-
fragists who have conducted he fight
in Washington are confident of VIC

The world has been to a great extent of canned foods. Never before have they gained the recognition accorded them by military leaders and statesmen during the last four years; and this recognition based upon qualities which render them in many superior to food In other forms, must inevitably result in placing them in a leading position among the materials required for the worlds subsistence when peace is restored.
 Aside from convenience in handling, reduction Of loss through spoage and simplicity Of preparation for eating their character as safeguard to the health of the fighters has been a prime consideration Tn their by the military forces The selection of materials used in their preparation, the thorough sterilization protection from contamina tion enabled canned foods to contribute greatly to the remarmabe freedom from disease of the fighters in the present war; and the same qualities commend them to the people at home. Among the civilians in wartime, the widespread employment of women is preventing the od-fashioned expenditure of time and attention to the preparation of food in the home; and this also is leading increased demand for canned foods, which will continue when the present abnorm al conditions past.
