,WOMEN'S CLUBS HELP
THE W0MEN'S HOSPITAL

Women's clubs throughout the coun-
try are becoming interested in the
plucky little hospital unit, stated by
women, which has recently. sailed for
France to work behind the lines for
the restoration Of women and children.
The Colony Club OF New York city
has donated a motor truck, and SorO-
sis, the Oldest Incorporated woman's
club In the United States, has given q
present to celebrate it's fiftieth birth
day. The present is a $4,000 ambu-.
lance to. 60 to France with the hospi-
tai unit and run on errands Of kind
ness for the French children and their
mothers. Civitas, a large Brooklyn
club, has presented another ambulance.
Both bear on their sides the legend,
"Women's Oversee Hospitals, q. S. A."
with the Red Cross and the emblem Of
the: hospitals.
A fifty bed hospital will be stationed
behind the lines in n of the most
devastated areas In France. While It
will be at the call of the French War
Department for the a of the mill
tary wounded, it's direct object IL to
build up the broken down women and
children who have suffered from lack
of care during the occupation of their
towns by war forces. IL -:
I'm a cablegram received from Doctor
Finley the dire need of the French
people for the help to be secured
through the hospital Is set forward in
q startling sentence OF two-"Great
need for unit. Civilians taken. many
miles for hospital treatment. Must do
much surgery; need specialists, ambu-
lance service, several d~ispensaries."
It will be recalled that the French
High Commissioner, Monsieur Tardieu,
was most hospitable to the idea of the
unit from the start.
The fund for the upkeep Of the hos
pital was formally assumed by the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage As
sociation at its forty-ninth annual con-
vention in Washington, D. c., last De-
cember. The hospital was then adopt

ENFRANCHEE WOMAN NOW,
SAYS new YORK SENATOR

"From now on every woman must be
directly affected by a vast majority OF
the activities of government" said
Senator Calder of New York, speaking
on the floor Of the United States senate
on March IL. III we are convinced
that democracy is sound in principle, II
we are determined to protect and ex-
tend and perpetuate the system, must
we not concede to women the right and
must we not ask them to assume the
obligation Of assisting to direct the
course of the state and ration?
"There are those who claim that this
is NO time to consider the question Of
woman suffrage, but the question Of
! suffrage at this time Is not only the
right of women, but 1t Is also a ques.
ton of wartime efficiency for q coun-
try struggling in the throes of this
great world war.
Men and women today are ready, as
they have never been ready before in
history, to give themselves, their life's
blood, the things they hold nearest and
dearest, for a cause which is greater
than personal gain, a cause which
means freedom to the world.
There are those who say that wo'
men do not want to vote; that when
I they have the vote they do not use it.
"The fact that women do want thu
vote was proved by the signature Of
the 1,O2O,215 women now in the pos
session of the New York State Woman
Suffrage Party.
THAT wolnen who have the vote
use it is evinced by the fact that II
no suffrage state has suffrage ever
been regretted or revoked after it once
was given to women that in every sui
frage state labor legislation has ad
vaneed with a steady and parallel
growth"

I sincerely hope that the measure may
become law.

Take first hand testimony on this
question from the. states where women
vote. Do not let; yourself be. deceived
by anti-suffrage gossip.
The following answers from COVER
nors and secretaries Of equal suffrage
states have been received in answer
to the question, ":Does woman suffrage
greatly increase election expenses and
make additional taxation possible"
. WYOMING.-"Woman suffrage has
not increased taxes in this state nor
cost of elections"
COLORADO.-"Only increase In
cost of elections what naturally &C.
crues from added number to elector-
ate" . T.. '.. .~
DAHO.-"Added election expense
infinitesimal."
Observation-Disclosures expenses
only increased by slight cost caused by
effort to keep voting precincts under
$50 voters"
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cost of

little"
OREGON.-"Woman suffrage has
increased election expenses only so far
as naturally they would increase pro-
portionately to increase in number Of
voters"
KANSAS.-"Increased cost Of cleo
lions Insignificant"
Acknowledgements cost of cleo
tions through women voting not worth
considering"
MONTANA.-@'The argument of in
creased taxation because Of woman
suffrage is absurd"
NEVADA.-"Slightly increased cost
for printing additional ballots and
compensation for election clerks"
In considering this question 1t must
be remembered that women pay their
full pro rata share Of the taxation for
election expenses and that they have
heeh doing so for more than q century
while deprived by law from casting .
