enclosing the resolutions adopted
by your association received.
Should the Federal Amendment
granting women the right OF suf-
frage come before Congress during
my term, / should vote In the af-
flrmative. The wonderful work
done by the women during this
war have entitled them, IN my
judgment, this privilege.
Sincerely yours.
L. HEISLER BALL.
Mrs. Thompson has sent the Senator
elect a second letter. protesting against
his decision. as follows:
Greenville, Delaware,
December i3, 1918.
Hon. L. II. Ball,
Marshallton, Del.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of Deem
Der 9th has been received, and while
j understand your chivalrous idea
as regards the vote as a reward for
war work-what about those OF us
who have worked untiring on every
patriotic drive, In the Red Cross and
In hospitals, whose sons have fought
for liberty in France, and who are
unalterably opposed to the ballot for
women?
You know only too well that were
the question OF votes for women put
to a vote OF the people, 1t would
never pass, and yet you expect to
go to Washington TO voice the will
OF the people OF Delaware by voting
for the Susan B. Anthony Amend
ment; which amendment Is a direct
stab at democracy, inasmuch as IL
forces measure favored by some
few States upon other States who
are unwilling, and is an absolute at
tack upon the right of individual
States 10 act for themselves.
The ratification Of this amend
ment would mean reopening the
question even in the States where
computed that the campaign in
each State would cost at the mini
mum $4,000.
We Americans pride ourselves that
we live In free country-that our
laws protect poor and rich, men,
women and children alike.
This is a case when the wishes
OF the people and the people alone
should be heard.
We women OF Delaware who are
opposed TO suffrage feel that we
have a right TO have our ideals
maintained. TO keep woman at her
best in the home, in industry, In
charities; she cannot perform all
her own duties successfully and
those Of the men as we'll, and that
as the interests OF men and women
are identical II is useless duplica-
tion TO ask women TO undertake the
political as well as the social work
OF the world.
Yours sincerely.

BRITISH ABUSED
BY TURK SOLDIERS
Many Prisoners Died in
500 Mile March Over
Desert
ARABS ROB BODIES
LEFT UNBURIED

NE. A. Special to The Evening Journal
LONDON, England, Dec. i4.-flogging,
killing desert marches, starvation
These are some OF the inhumanities
that British soldiers captured by the
Turks were made to undergo.
The treatment Of British prisoners
nv Turks Is revealed In White Paper
lust issued by the government. II Is
a story Of neglect, incompetence ana
torture inconceisab!e.
The police OF the Turks. the paper
says. has always been that II the great
were treated with sonS consideration,
Il mattered not what happened to the
masses. The result has been In many
cases that officers have been given con-
slderstion while the common soldiers
have been most cruelty used.
Yet not always have the officers es-
caped tho fate Of men In the ranks.
British naval officers captured az
Kut. the White Paper says. have been
confined for weeks underground In
solitude and privation by way OF al
legged "reprisals.n
From the beginning Of the war the
Turks are estimated to have taken i6,-
bs3 prisoners. Reports have been re-
oeived of the death Of 1920 OF these
men and 2,222 are reported as untraced.
Many OF these undoubtedly have per-
Ished.
The story Of the 5O0-mile march from
Samara north Of Bagdad, across the
Syrian desert In one OF the hottest
summers ever known-the summer OF
iei6-will never be told In all Its hor-
rors, says the government document,
for the men who experienced It's great
sst suffering died by the way.
Through a message from one Of
group OF officers delayed In starting by
Illness, 10 the Turkish commander-in-
chief at Bagdad, British medical
,taff was permitted TO go 70 Samara.
This group OF physicians gathered
the hundreds OF Britshers who fell
by the wayside in the FIRST stage OF the
march. No attemept was made by their
British escort 10 aid them, but they
were left where they fell. prey to dys-
entery and whatever other III befell.
Following the trail Of the marchers
every village and halting place revealed
a similar story. Many were dead, scores
were dying Their clothing, even their
boots, had been disposed Of to buy
little milk.
Only now and then an attendant was
left to look after the sufferers. Arab
villagers robbed them. Their dead lay
unburied. the bodies stripped of the
last vestige OF clothing.
Three days journey from Aleppa, six
British soldiers and a group OF Indians
had lain for three months on bare
ground, living on scraps Of food
thrown TO them as TO the dogs by
Arabs or passing caravans. or the six
Englishmen, but one was able 20
crawl the two og three hundred yards
TO watering place.
Survivors Of this forced march, put
10 work on the Bagdad railway tun-
mel In the Taurus mountains, proved
utterly unequal TO the work. They
were scattered throughout the Turkish
empire, some Of them being sent to the
Alton interment camp, where terrible
fogigngs were the punishment for
trivial offences.
The Turkish officer in command Of
this camp was removed in 1917 by the
Turkish government because Of vehe-
ment protests against his cruelty

N. Z. A. Special to The Evening Journal.
PARIS, Dec. A.-How the regimental
flag OF the Second. French Colonials
was saved from the hands Of the Ger
mans and returned TO It's owners has
just been revealed.
The flag was left in the hands of the
inhabitants OF the little village Of
Villers-sur-Semoy by Lieutenant Rou-
dlere, wounded August %, 1914, when
the Germans entered.
Nine. Warnimont and her little son
stole out at the dead of night and
buried the Gag in their little garden.
During more than four long years
the regimental nag remained hidden In
the soil.
When the war ended and the Ger
han soldiers marched out, General Aube
entered the village at the head of the
very same Colonial regiment that had
been driven from il in the grst days of
the war. Neither the woman nor the
son who had hidden the flag were
there, but the inhabitants knew that
it had been hidden and it WAS recov-
cred in the lite garden behind the
shell wrecked home Of Madame Warnl-
