PARIS, Oct. 22.-Among Deputies of
all shades of opinion. the impression
Is that the German reply to President
Wilson betrayed more than previous
communications the state OF deprcs-
sion and the Generalization OF the
German people as the result Of the
Allies victories.
Nowhere Is there evidence. accord
ing TO opinion here. of a genuine
desire on the part OF Germany to
accept the only way in which peace
can be concluded. Feeling is wide
spread that the German General Stuff
is desirous OF getting an armlstico
at any price in order to reorganize
its reserves.
The Germans are hoping by their
discussions OF an armistice TO sub
stitute Gen. Porshlng for Marshal
Foch as the military leader who will
state the terms. the Petit Journal
says. This newspaper adds that IL

Correspondence
Votes For Women.


EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo-, March 1, 1917
To the Editor Of The american:
No doubt many OF our friends in Maine,
who, like myself, were much disappointed
at the defeat of woman suffrage in that
State at the Septem Der election, were more
than pleased at the splendid victory
achieved for that great reform movement
in the empire state in November, and by
such tremendous majority.
1t seems almost toe good to be true that
the resolution for an amendment TO our
national constitution, making equal sui
frsge the law of our country, has received
the affirmative vote OF the necessary two
thirds OF the lower House OF Congress,
and now awaits passage by the Senate,
when it surely will receive the signature
of President Wilson.
In consideration of the magnificent
work rendered the empire and the world
by the six million OF its noble women
now doing the work OF men in her mu-
milton factories and other industries, the
United Kingdom has given to them the
right to vote, and thus justice has at last
prevailed there.
1t is doubtless true that, had ii not been
for the votes OF its women, the selective
draft or CONSUMPTION measure would have
been defeated in the recent election in
Canada, with the great province Of Quebec
voting almost solidly against it. 1t is
being made more and more evident that
not only the work, but the votes OF
women, are needed to make the "world
safe for democracy"
Certain it is that in the very near future,
all over this broad land OF ours, woman
will be given the ballot, and we are sure
she will use 1t for the best interest OF all
the people, as she has done in the progress
sive states OF California, Washington,
Oregon and Kansas.
That highly respectable but rather Sc
leet body of ladies known as anti-suf-
fragists need not become alarmed at this,
for the law very probably will not oblige
them to exercise the right when given
them, although the best law would be one
obliging each voter to pay a fine Except
in certain csses) for falling to cast the
ballot.
Let us hope that national prohibition
and equal suffrage may both soon be
realized in our great country, being the
two reform movements bound to prevail,
standing as they do for justice and human
rights.
"New occasions teach new duties, time
makes ancient good uncouth,
! He must onward. ever upward, who would
keep abreast OF truth.
See the campfres CLEAN before us, we, our.
| selves. must pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayfower and steer boldly
thro' the desperate winter sea,
Nor attempt the futures portals with the
past's blood-rusted key"
&C. p. DELkTrTRR.

Magazine and Book Notes.

Everyone interested in the war, every
service, viii be grateful for the message OF
cheer that is given in the March American
Magazine by Surgeon General Gorgas and
Private Peat. Surgeon General Gorgas tells
in an interview what the chances are OF
getting hurt or killed in this war, and his
facts are indeed cheering. Private Peat,
the famous soldier-lecturer, tells in a won
derful article "Why We Come Smiling
Out of He'll" His story is inspiring and
thrilling.
The March Woman's Home Companion
is crowded with articles and stories Of de-
lightful variety, interest, and value. Bes-
sic Beatty, weli-known newspaper wom-
an from the Pacific coast, has written for
it the intimate story OF Russia's women
soldiers. The inspiring career OF Anna
Case, the Metropolitan Opera star, and
Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson's discussion
OF the office positions now open to women,
are well worth reading. This is the first
spring fashion number and contains. be-
sides Coles Phillips drawing OF q Jenny
design on the cover, several pages OF the
J charmingiy smart new styles and fabrics.
On the patriotic side are articles ON max
ing war gardens, conserving fuel, saving
gasolene, and keeping bees, as well as the
regular helpful 'Soldiers APP page.
