II, he said.
Senator Benet had been counted on
by the suffragists. His speech was a
hard blow to them. He emphasized
the fact the South did not want wom-
an suffrage. and declared he spoke
without reference to party, but be-
cause the question was one of prin-
ciple.
This was the maiden speech Of Sen
stor Benet, and his earnest eIoQuence
made a decided impression.

Senator Smoot at once arose and
pointed out that Senator Pittman.

had deceived him as to the Repub-
lean strength for suffrage, had told
the Republicans there would be
thirty-one Democrats for suffrage, in
GLIDING Senator Benet in his list He
asked what Senator Pittman, who had
played politics" Friday, had to say
now.
After further discussion, the Senate
went into executive session and then
quit until Monday. Unless there is a
shift, the amendment will drag along
indefinitely and will not be voted on
at all this session, or before election.
Senators supporting suffrage are
divided on q proposition to force the
amendment to a vote. Senator Jones,
in charge of II, does not want a vote
unless the amendment is going to
carry. Senator Cummins and some
others say the amendment should be
forced to q vote anyhow, and the
Senate put on record, as that will
get results most quickly. 1t does not
look now, however, as IL the amend
ment will be allowed by the Demo
cratic leaders to go to a vote and be
defeated.
Senator Martin of Kentucky, is
credited with being opposed to the
amendment, and the ants are nov
laying claim to thirty-five votes. They
need only thirty-three to prevent sub

 The chateau had been used as an advance hospital under direction of the French Service de Sante. Major Tarnowsky and Major Morehead, two Red Cross doctors, were in charge, the personnel being French. When the enemy came within six kllometers the French authorities ordered the evacuation of the place, the patients being removed at night in canal boats.
 The two Red Cross doctors were at their wits ends. Thelr labors were circumscribed by human limitations. There were just four hands and no as sistance of any kind.

A can of condensed milk would last Il baby n week, for one spoonful, put ln d cup of boiling water, was sufficient for a feeding, and so, to many Stcilian family the terms America" and "con- densed milk" will always be synony- nous.
 Last February . list of fifty families of Italian soldiers was given to the Red Cross workers in Italy. The fam files were carefully investigated and registered and the milk was given to them for the little children, especially the babies. Mothers came for the cans and were grateful beyond expression.
 But with the coming of warm weather It was necessary to give out the milk daily, as it would not keep sweet. The mothers brought their own containers, and the milk was pre- pared, sugar added, and they were in- structed carefully as to its use. Abso- lute cleanliness of receptacles was in- sisted upon, and the homes were wis ited in order to make sure that the milk rations were being backed by healthful conditions.
 Aside from the saving of the lives of the children, the soldiers are happier and they are better soldiers now that they know that their loved ones are being cared for by the Crossa Rossa.

self alone, for we should garden for
pleasure only and II we stray far from

best flowers you may, not necessarily
the best kinds, but the best of their

grow a splendid geranium than a sick

This great commerce fleet, Mr.. Hur-

the history Of the world, and involving
the expenditure of more than five bill
lions of dollars, will link the United
States to South and Central America
by weekly steamer service which will
enable the Latin-American countries to
utilize their unlimited natural re-
sources in the freest competition
with other nations. 1t also will bridge
the Pacific for the transportation of
the products of Japan, Russia, China,
Australia and the orient, and will con-
tinue to promote Americas trade with
Europe.
