SPECULATION IN CLOTHES

Few people pause to speculate upon the importance of clothes in the gen. eral scheme of things. But the civil au- thorities throughout Italy, whose task il has been to feed, house and ciothe the thousands of refugees who poured down from the north last fall following the defeat at Caporetta, have every reason to realize this truth.
 Perugia, the capital of Green Um- bria--that beautiful old city, the haunt in happier days of visitors from every land-has housed within her hospitable gates over 2000 of these homeless ones. Some are in private houses and palaces given up for their use. Others are in public buildngs-a good many in an im- mense school building turned over en- tirely for this purpose. Not many weeks ago the American Red Cross offering to assist the civil authorities in their care of these unfortunate ones, who, through no fault of their own, were

"The President does not share the view that woman suffrage is irrelevant ana extraneous at this critical period in our history but takes the time to point out that America will make effective war only when she has been inspired by such reforms as he thinks are involved in the giving of the ballot to women.

Wilson is showing III the fight for woman suffrage:
 The correspondence, which is made public by Senator Shields with the per mission of the White House. follows: sTha White House, Washington: "My Dear Senator I feel so deeply the possibilities latent in the vote which is presently to be taken by the Senate that I am taking step Whicn in ordinary circumstances l would not | feel Justified in taking, and ask you very frankly if twill not be possible for YOU to vote for the amendment l I feel that much of the morale of this i country and of the world will repose | in our sincere adherence to democratic 1 principles. will depend upon the acton l which the senate ldhtS III thio fo" | critically important matter.

 "One of the most striking instances I have encountered in the signed peti
 tion," said Mrs. Nesbitt. was an old
 lady of 70 years who told me that she
 could neither read nor write, but that
 she had lived through the civil war
 and she knew what women could do
 and she wanted them to have the vote.
 Another case was where a mother of
 10 children hesitated to sign the peti-
 tion but when I asked her if she didn't
 want a clean city to live in where dIs-
 ease and pestilence would be eradi-
 cated so that her children would grow up healthy citizens, and if she didn 1 want good schools and all the civic advantages necessary for her chil- drens welfare-she very soon realized conditions and gladly signed the peti- tion
