Taken at Once as Reward
tor Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Immediate
passage or the woman suffrage amend
ment In recognition Of the services
rendered by the women Of the country
during the war was urged upon the
senate In a resolution adopted by the
National Woman Suffrage Association
The efforts OF the American women in
support OF the country's fighting forces
were described by q number of speak
ers including DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo Mrs Jo-
sephus Daniels, and Miss Jane Delano,
director of the American Red Cross
DR.. Shaw spoke of the pledge of 10y
atty and service to the government
given by the National Woman Suf-
frage Association when this country
entered the war, adding that 1t has
faithfully kept the pledge, helping in
the world struggle for the same funda-
mental principles which has underlaid
Its half century of endeavor."
Duties Greater Than Ever.
Now that the war is wOn," DR..
Shaw continued, there lies before us
vaster work than ever before, and
the cooperation and service of women
Is necessary to its accomplishment"
DR.. Shaw said the history of Ameri-
can women during the war sis the last
word. the direct and conclusive proof
Of their fitness for self-government"
Mrs. Daniels asked If American
women, after having helped so vitality
to save the world for democracy,
should not now be given a greater OPP
portunity through the ballot to make
1t a safe place in which to rear the
coming generations of boys and girls.
Miss Delane spoke of the valient
work Of American nurses at the front,
who, she said, had established new
tradition for bravery in action, many
of them having earned the highest
honors which the world has to offer"
Other speakers represented women
who have worked in various industries
during the war, each voicing an appeal
for their acknowledgements on the
ground of their proved devotion to the
ideals of American and their self-sacri-
ficing labors.
