Crowder's work or fight" regula-
tions In a letter to Governor Her
rington OF Maryland, made public
here tonight, the president indorsed
adoption by other states OF the
Maryland compulsory work law, un-
der which the work or fight prin-
ciple is made applicable 10 all men
between the ages or Is and 80.
General Crowder also has APP

that 1t not only will give greater ef-
feet 10 his new regulations. but VIII
further aid the country In Its task
of winning the war by reaching men
below and above the draft ages.

realization OF his RESPONSIBILITIES as
participant in this war.
Upon our entrance into the war
| called upon our citizens TO mobil-
ize their energies for its prosecution
in every way that was possible The
response was exceedingly gratifying.
The slogan work or fight has
everywhere been taken up as a sat
isfactory expression of the spirit of
the people. The instances of fail
ure TO appreciate It's force and sig
nificance have been few. 1t is only
natural however, that those few
cases should excite the feeling that
the spirit of the community should In
some way be enforced by law upon
| those who were not willing to CO.

had made possible the effective op-
GRAFTON Of our selective service law
and has found expression also, In
your compulsory work law.
THE memorandum which you
have prepared points out how wisely
Maryland has acted In this matter

OF Maryland and other states"

WILSON AGAIN URGES
SUFFRAGE ADOPTION
wants senate to Pass Resolution at
This Session to Submit Amend
mcnt TO Nation for Ballot.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Presi
dent Wilson again has thrown the
weight OF his influence into the bal
ance for the federal woman suf-
fsage amendment. He expressed to-
day the hope that the senate would
act favorably at this session on the
resolution for submission of the
amendment to the states, passed by
the house last January, after he had
gwen his endorsement.
When a delegation headed by Mrs
carrie Chapmann Gait, president of
the National Woman Suffrage asso-
cation, and DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
honorary president, called at the
White House today, the president
read to them reply to a memoria.
presented to him from the French
union fer woman suffrage.
The French suffragists asks Mr..
Wilson TO proclaim the principle OF
woman suffrage one Of the funda-'
mental rights of the future. His
reply4ollows in part:
II have read your message with
the deepest interest, and / welcome
the opportunity TO say that / agree
without reservation that the full
and sincere democratic reconstruc-
ton OF the world for which we are
striving. and which we are deter
mined TO bring about at any cost,
viii not have been completely or
adequately attained until women are
adrnitted to the suffrage, and that
only by that action can the nations
Of the world realize for the benefit
OF future generations, the full idea;
force OF opinion or the full humane
forces Of action.
THE services of women during
this supreme crisis of the worlds
history have been OF the most sig
nal usefulness and distinction. The
war could not have been fought
without them, or its sacrifices en-
dured. 1t is high time that some
part of oltr debt OF gratitude to them
should be acknowledged and paid.
ami the only acknowledgement they
ask is their admission to the suf-
frage. Can We justly refuse Il?
As for America. 1t is my earnest
hope, that the senate Of the United
States will give an unmistakcable
answer to, this question by passing
the suffrage amendment TO our fed
eral constitution before the end OF
this session."
Senate leaders have promised
vote at this session.
