During my stay In France talked
with a general upon whose shoulders
falls most of the responsibility for the
conduct Of the war. He told me that

but guns and munitions with which
they can win victories while We are
mobilizing our man-power.

colt, Food Administrator, will
speak. The restaurant proprietors,
it is said, already have entered into
the food conservation spirit with
such earnestness that all orders
have been reduced to a minimum.
While this may be all right from
their standpoint the public is to
be considered. according to those
back of the movement, and there
is a general feeling that orders
should be increased, il ever so
slightly.
Their meeting will have a mill
tary aspect, with the presence of a
military band, boy scouts in uni
form and a group of Red Cross
girls to act as ushers. While the
restaurant keepers look at the pro-
posal with much concern they say
that they have been carrying out
orders to the best of their ability,
and say that if the sandwich or
small piece of pie they put out does
not satisfy more should be ordered.

Boston, Jan. 27.-If the schemes

of Boston restaurants will be given
full value for their money. Here
after they will not have to inquire
of the waitress who serves them

Several women are back of the
movement, which was organized
here in the South End district. Many
women complained that their hus-
bands were growing thin on the

Senators Cordial to Work

Crowded off the floor of the Sem

the cloak rooms.
Party leaders are pushing the An
thony amendment ahead to a vote

Meanwhile suffrage forces are lob

Republican support OF the

Members of both parties have ex-
pressed themselves as follows:

going to do everything they can to
bring the amendment before the
Senate at the earliest possible mo-
ment. They are anxious that there
shall be no indication of obstruc-

Senator Sherman of Illinois: Re

have the resolution defeated; neith-
er can the Democrats. States al

Presidential electors will and ought
to observe the vote in the Senate

Senator McNary of Oregon de-
clares that woman suffrage calls
for Republican support because 1t
is in line with fundamental princi-
pies of his party.
IT think" he says, that the Re-
publicans should support the
amendment in a body. While sex
equality has not been embodied as
such in Republicans platforms, 1t

inception"
