Three Women
To Seek Seats
In Parliament
Next General Election In
England Will Find Several
Women Candidates.
QUEEN E1AEE

London. Eng, May 4.-There will
probably be three women candidates
for seats in parliament at the next
general election. In addition 10 Miss
Nina Boyle who intends to contest the
Keighley division, the Independent
Labor party has added the names Of
Miss Margaret Bondfield and Mrs.
Philip Snowden, wife Of Philip Snow
den. member Of parliament, TO the list
of available parliamentary candidates.
Miss Nina Boyle has notified the
home secretary Of her effort to secure
nomination as. parliamentary candi-
date for Keigh1ey and has asked
whether II it is not permissible for
women TO stand for parliament It is
not equally inadmissible for women to
be sworn in as police and whether il
would not be possible to challenge
any arrests made by these women
Miss Boyle says Ibis reply to that
question is that the answer can oaly
be determined authoritatively by a
court Of law. That is Just how par
lament always evades responsibility
for the laws it makes and whenever
the laws are brought into question,
without exception IL throws its re-
spOnsibility on the law courts"

Influence OF Japan

Toxic. Japan, May Some misgiv-

States as affecting Siberia have found
expression in the Japanese house OF

Japan should pay close attention to

Manitsu Tanaka in a speech in the
house recently. This activity, he said.
might be designed to obtain rights
and interests Of various kinds Tan
aka said he believed that If America
attained its object a hard blow would
be dealt to the interests Of the Japan
csc empire.
He thought that American sympa-

her ambition to implant her influ-
ence there by utilizing the present
opportunity for investing her large
capital in an extensive area OF Rus
sian territory, to exploit Russia's vast
natural resources and to help forward
Russia's civilization. To speak
frankly. he believed that another OBJ
ject Of the United States in showing
sympathy to Russia might be to check
the advance Of Japaneze influence
northwards-
The speaker also referred to a ru-
NOR that the United States was try

said he believed America coveted for
its economic value and perhaps be-

nor the same moral impOrtance-that

In order TO attain that end the
Americans reelected Mr.. Wilson, one
would say almost instinctively, at the
moment when the fiercest struggle in
history between autocracy and de-
mocracy was raging. They have put
in his hands nit only the safeguard
ing Of the direct interests Of the
United States, but also. and I should
say, above all the defence Of the
principles Of liberty. justice and de-
mocracy.
From the first days Of August, 1914
the world has understood what the
stake was in the struggle which Prus-
sianized Germany deliberately flaunt-
ed before the democratic powers OF
the entente But that comprehension
was never so clear as on the day
when the greatest and most perfect
democracy Of our planet Joined the
allies. not for territorial gain. but
to safeguard the essence Of its in

traditions Of Washington and Of

Wilson'S Command to Kaiser.
On that day woodrow Wilson. son
Of a simple pastor, faced the king of
Prussia, successor to Frederick II,
disciple Of Bismarck and Of MOltke.
I see the great citizen confronting
the German kaiser and seem to hear
his voice, resOlute and clear, crying
out: stop! Haiti"
And I see 1O0.OOO.OO free citizens
standing behind him crying more en-
ergeticaally still: Back Go back
whence you camel" And all the allied
democracies from that moment have
taken renewed courage. The South
American states all viii finish by join

America VIII Not Stop.
Ireturn from the United States with
the firm conviction that America viii
not stop in midchanneL She hopes
that she viii not have to. To bring
back her flags without having had
them lit up by the fires Of victory
would signify-and one senses it
strongly in certain spheres-nOt only
stagnation, but decline. That would
be at the same time a general check
for humanity The Americans, no
more than the other allies, do not
wish, and will not accept, such
thing.
One Of the reasons for the success
Of my mission, and not the least, was
because on all occasions I insisted on
the necessity Of continuing to push
the war until complete and definite
victory was achieved and because /
urged the necessity Of ignoring all
pacific suggestions made by Germany,
representing as I do a nation which
has suffered and which suffers more
than any other from the war, and
which relatively has made more sac
rifices.
