amendment at this session of congress.
 Miss Anna c. Levitt. for years a well known leader in suffrage work, and secretary of the local branch Of the National Womans' Party, said:
 Democracy is fearful and wonder full thing, as it is now being inter preted in America. One million men drafted ito fight and die to establish democracy abroad, while less than one hundred men in the United States senate deny this same liberty to fifty million American women on account of party interest Were it not so serious, what comedy could be written and staged. For honestly, is it fair for men to Impose so many civic ohliga- tions on women and accept so many public services from them, and then refuse them voice in their own gov- ernment?
 Mrs. William E. Vaughn, state chair man of the South Carolina branch who is visiting her parents, MT. and Mrs. Marshall Kenyon. of Grove street while still hoping for a favorable vote on the amendment next week, said that if it failed to pass the indigna tion and resentment of American wo- men would be proportionate to their sacrifice and labor for their own and the worlds democracy.

 He made no attempt to resist arrest and came willingly with the local of ficers, who locked him up at the police station here.
 Champagne planes drinking intoxi- cants as the cause for his trouble. When questioned he admitted having obtained liquor in Worcester soon af- ter leaving Camp Devens and also said that he had obtained liquor in this city, but did not know the names of the men who purchased it for him. He was quizzed at some length Fri day and finally a certificate showing that he was not a wilful deserter in the strictest sense of the term was issued as a report to be handed over to the officials at Camp Devens. An other fact in Champagne's favor was that he had continued to wear his uniform during the period that he was absent from camp.
 He has kept 6ut of sight from most people during the weeks that he has been in his part of the county, but his presence finally became known to per sons who were sufficiently interested to report the matter to representatives of the government.

 While subscriptions were pouring in Friday in this town for war savings stamps there occurred almost an ex- haustion of the supply of the stamps, so subscriptions had to be taken with a promise of future delivery.
 One man appeared at the postoffice looking for a thousand dollars worth ofTthe little securities, but the office was not prepared to supply that many. Similar conditions were reported from other towns in this district.
 Chairman Clifford H. StarlSweather, of the stamp committee for Daniel son, was well pleased Friday with the manner in which the people were re- spending to the call to register and purchase securities. It was taken by the public generally as an obligation, and the total of money pledged to the government here will be a surprise when the figures are announced. which probably will not be before Monday. Tn the big manufacturing plants throughout the town the operatives wer8 doing themselves proud. Can vassers found that it is no longer diff ficult to sell war securities. for much Of the misunderstanding and appre- hension that existed in the minds of many persons when the first issues were offered a year ago have been swept away.
 Today the spirit in this district is little less than exalted. Backing the boys in the trenches has become a habit and hundreds of persons are limited in their subscriptions only by their financial ability to purchase.
