ALETTER FROM

"Lllaison," the official paper of the
Coast Artillery School, Fort Monroe,

In the first place, never get on a

aggressive look. In France, as in
America, they have the local and the

WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE
VOTE

Women of this generation can
scarcely measure the difference in
their status and that of their grand
mothers. 20 years ago the first con-
vention was held in this country to
demand educational, civil and political
| freedom.
Women of today can hardly realize
that at that time no married woman
had the right to possess her own
property.
All she possessed before marriage
and all that she received afterwards
passed into the control of her hus-
band. Though she might have in
herited a large estate the law denied
her to make a will Her husband
alone could dispose of it.
1t was a common thing for hus-
bands who had received large proper
ties from the families of their wives
to make wills leaving the wife only
her ''dower" CT q life use of Is of
that property. Sometimes she would
be left more under the provisions that
she would not marry again.
Only one half dozen poorly paid oc-
equations were open to women, and
the wife was denied, by law, to collect
her own wages when she was per-
mitted to earn any. She occupied
practically the legal status of slave.
I'm glad to say that most men have
been better than the laws they made.
No colleges, except Oberlin, were
open to women, and no high schools
admitted them. The discrimination
against women in the days of our
grandmothers is almost Incompetent
sible. The father was sole guardian
of the children and in case of divorce
they were given to him. He could
will away from the mother her I'M
born child.
1t was to break down this iron will
of law and custom that a national suf-
frage association came into existence.
AS a result of the organization many
of the unjust and cruel laws have
been changed, and women today enjoy
educational, civil and legal privileges
for which other women gave their
lives and their fortunes.
No woman in the United States has
vote today; no woman has right
to her property or her wage, no wo-
man has right to her children; no
woman has a right to a high school
or college education; owoman has a
right to enter professions, who does
not owe that right to the toll and self
sacrifice of three generations of wo-
wen who constituted the working
force of the suffrage and prohibition
women
This association has not only Sc
cured the emancipation of women in
our own country, but it has inspired
the same movement in other coun-
tries. 1t called together the suffrage
workers of the world in 1902 and or
ganized an international suffrage al
lance. Only s countries then had suf-
frage associations to respond to the
call. Now there are 26 countries in
line, and eight have extended full
suffrage to their women.-J. c. p.

latter are a cross between a row of

Getting up to the Front is fifty-fifty
between hoboing it through Texas and
running a circus. There are, posi-

you are going to get to Flanders, and
then you doze off until your brother

THE TWO DESPOTS

The essence of democratic liberty Is per suasion.
 The bolsheviki is partisan of force. He is an even worse enemy of true democ- racy than the monarchial autocrat, for while he IS as willing to use force to rule the will of men as a czar or kaiser, the force he lets loose IS not disciplined or controlled even by himself. The monarch ical or militant despot may use disciplined military organization to enforce his will; the bolshevik uses a mob. One uses dam to hold back the waters of popular freedom The other sets ungovernable flame at general destruction.
 The bolshevik the mob autocrat, and the kaiser, the military autocrat, are both deadly enemies of true democracy and true democratic freedom.
 Bolshev;sm, wherever it appears, under whatever name, relies upon force. In Rus sia 1t has slain men and women who dis agree with its dogmas, as ruthlessly as any Caesar. In the French terror 1t did the same a century and more ago. In Ger many it demands that great class of cdu- cated, responsible, industrious citizens be refused representation in the government, and it will prevent them by slaughter. These disfranohised citizens include the lawyer. physician, teacher, clergyman business man, down to the smallest shop keeper-in fact all the classes which do not work with their hands, whatever their intelligence, character or service to organ

ized society and civilization as it has devel- oped up to our day. The bolshevik would bar all this vast body of knowledge, ex perience and character from any part in the government, silence its voice, seize its pos sessions, rule it with rod of iron. In Rus sia the bolshevik regime has slaughtered the middle class without pity or justice. It pretends to do this in the name of justice and progress. In reality it is turning hu- manity back into the jungle.
 The bolshevik and the -militarist auto crat are united in another essential. They are both believers in their own divine right.
 Lenine, the fanatic, believes he Is com missioned by the superiority of his intel lect and moral nature to force his will on all who disagree with him. There is no differ ence, except in statement, between this claim and that of an absolute monarch to his right of rule The kaiser has his divine right The bolshevik has his divine dogma. Both are inconsistent with freedom and true democracy which make all equal in rights and rest progress on reason and the triumph of reasons appeal over the human mind.

THE DOOMED ARMADA

Somewhere on the swelling bosom of the North Sea, an armada of the once proud German nation has met or soon will meet the all-powerful, conquering grand fleet of Great Britain, together with representa- tives of the sea power of America and France, to complete the surrender in fact of the greatest number of war vessels, the most powerful set of floating fortresses, ever given up by any nation in the history of the world. Unless the terms of the arm istice have been disregarded, each of the vessels will be but shell of its former fighting strength; all were to have dis armed before they left Germany's harbors.
 Upon receiving these derelicts, which represent practically the total strength of the formerly powerful Hun navy, the com mander of the great fleet Is to direct the course to a port or ports not yet desig- mated Upon their arrival, the vessels are to be interned with only watchmen on board.
 Germany has left few vessels, of an obsolete type, sufficient to give her rating as a third or fourth rate power, but in them selves an emblem of the depth to which has fallen the naughty realm of the Prus- sian king who dared consider himself the annointed of God, who dared assume the title of the All-Highest, who dared to dream and plan and plot for world con- quest, who plunged the world into the deepest misery known in the history of man.
 Wilhelm Hohenzollern, whose house of cards, even though bound together with segments of steel from the treasure house of Alsace-Lorraine, has crashed to earth, has passed from power. Socialism has sur planted the absolutism of the Prussian war lord Bolshevism appears to impend dan gerously. Where the end may be, none may predict at this time. But with the passing of Germany's navy, which at the beginning of the great war, ranked second only to that of Great Britain, another chap ter in the history of the titanic struggle is closed, and at its closing, well may the sons of Freedom, Liberty and Equality rejoice.

WILSON AND PEACE

The announcement of President Wil- son that he intended to sail for Europe to attend the international peace conference, at which will be determined the terms to be imposed upon the humble central pow CTS, created little surprise in America even though by making this decision he depart ed from precedent laid down by his pre- decessors. President Wilson has shattered other precedents, and to use rather vul- gar expression, has gotten away with the play in beautiful style" When he read his message before joint sessions of con- gress, a precedent was overturned with a crash that echoed throughout the nation.
 The president has allowed it to become known that he intends to leave immedi- ately after the convening of congress and probably will be absent for a month or more. Further, 1t is made known from those near MT. Wilson, that he will go at the express invitation of the British and French premiers, to lend the assistance of his mature statesmanship to the task of steering the ship of peace over the perilous course of the early days of the conference.
 President Wilson, the acceptance of whose ideas of an equitable peace by the leaders of both sides, made the present arm istice with Germany possible, undoubtedly will be an invaluable aid to the statesmen of allied nations in framing the peace terms based upon his conditions. He, bet ter than any other, can interpret his exact meaning, though on account of his pre- else phraseology little was left to doubt and only in one or two clauses was ambigu- ity found At the preliminary conferences and at the peace table, his assistance will be invaluable.
 That is the meaning of the visit of Will son, the statesman The visit of Wilson, the president and man, to Europe has still another meaning. In his person is found the recognized leader of the ideals of liberty as conceived by the masses of Europe, mil lions of whom died on the battle field in order that liberty might survive. In his visit to London, in his visit to Paris and again in his visit to Rome, the sons and daughters of those ancient countries will see a good omen He will be feted and lauded as few men have been in all his tory. In him and through him, America can be proud of the place she has assumed in the family of nations, which is that ot leader.

WHAT HE WAS CELEBRATING

There was one outburst of joy that was not lost when rejoicing was going on all over the nation several days ago following a premature report of the signing of the armistice It was in Topeka, Kansas. The celebrant was an old negro. He was not disturbed and did not share in the general chagrin and anger few hours later when the rumor which sent the whole country to rejoicing had been denied.
 He did not care a continental whether the armistice had been signed or not. He did not know what an armistice was. He hadn't heard anybody say anything about any armistice. He thought that the whole country was celebrating the election of republican congress. He remembered af- terwards seeing lot-of hilarious democrats whooping it up along with the. rest of them and he thought it little strange that they should gloat over their defeat. But he reasoned that even a democrat might change his mind and habits, and reform.

GRAND CANYON IS AT LAST ID BE MADE A
 NATIONAL PARK
AFTER THIRTY-FlVE YEARS CON- GRESS IS TO PLACE NATIONS WONDERLAND FOREVER UN- DER CARE OF UNITED STATES

The Grand Canyon of Arizona at last is to be made into a national park. For years the canyon has been quite generally regarded as a park, but officially it is a section of two national forests, game refuge and a national monument.
 Tt has never been managed as Q part of the park system, and has never been susceptible of develop ment as such" says the house public lands committee, in reporting favor. ably a senate bill that would dedi- cate $50 square miles-600,0 900 acres in northern Arizona as the Grand Canyon National Park This mag nificent gorge should now take its place as a link in the national park chain which already includes most of the nations wonderful and extraordi- nary natural features"
 First Bill in 1886
 It was 32 years ago last January that the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park was intro duced in the senate by the late ex- President Benjamin Harrison, then a senator from Indiana. Since then the proposal has been presented to con gross from time to time.
 Tt appears that there never has been a valid objection advanced against it." declares Secretary Lane, in a statement favoring the project. Nor can such an objection be urged, because the Grand Canyon belongs to the federal government and any at tempt to thwart change in it's status, which would distinctly rebound to its advantage, must be by some private interest"
 Private Development
 Private resources have accom- panied limited development. Thou sands of tourists visit the canyon an- nually, but due to the lack of roads, trails and side-trip destinations, the throngs have little opportunity to en- joy in full measure the marvellous grandeur of the region.
 Less than 400 of the G00,000 acres that the proposed legislation would place in the park are now in private ownership, these being held in small parcels near the rim. Obviously, the greater part of the land lies within the enormous gulf, measuring at some points 20 miles across the top. Suf- ficient land is to be included back of the north and south rims to make pos sible road development and to care for camping and hotel facilities.
