the American Red Cross has crossed
the Rhine into Baden at Huningue
(Huningen), placing the first Ameri-
cans on German soil. The place
where the river was crossed is q
short distance north of the Swiss

The German soldiers accepted
American flags and officers cleared
the roads for the Red Cross trucks
and insisted that the Red Cross work.

German soldiers councils in Ba-
den are selling German arms and
supplies. The population. which is
revolutionary, is in complete con-
troll. Ragged and famished Italians
almost raised the roof of the Red
Cross canteen with cheers when the
Americans opened the place.
The Red Cross delegation left
Switzerland for Alsace. Friday, TAX
ing with it a truclload of supplies.
Two hundred Italians were fed. A
canteen was established at st. Louis.
Ten thousand Germans, passed the

Senators who opposed the Anthony
amendment on the last vote in the
Senate and in every State where a
Legislature meets the same process
will be adopted as in New Hamp-
shire.
An interesting situation is pre-
sented in Louisiana. Senator elect
Gay is alleged to be a suffrage sup
porter, but at the recent election
Louisiana voted mo" on suffrage by
the astounding majority of 1900
after a strenuous campaign by both
suffrage organizations. He may take
the mandate of his State as his guide
in the Senate, and it is this which
renders the situation adverse to "the
cause" and has precipitated the
nationwide effort to force action in
the Senate this winter.
1t is apparent that the new Senate
will have a suffrage group large
enough to jam the amendment
through in quick time, but the suf-
frage leaders greatly fear a falling
off of the suffrage sentiment of the
House.

ment see now only one conversion
necessary in the Senate to accom-
plish the adoption of the Susan b.
Anthony amendment With this
end in view they have begun back
fire campaigns in the home State
of anti-suffrage Senators, particu-
lal.ly where Legislatures will soon
meet, hoping to force the one nee
essary gain. If they do not succeed
in getting the amendment through
the present Congress it would have
to be passed again in the House.
In New hampshire in particular
bitter fight has been started. The
National American Woman Suffrage
Association and the National Wo-
mans party are conducting earnest
campaigns in that State hoping to
force instructions for both Senators
keyes and Moses. 1t is, however,
only on Mr.. Moses that pressure can
apply in the present Congress for
unless stopped by the proposed Dem
ocratic contest Moses will be seated
in a few days. Mr.. Moses so far
has not committed himself on suf-
frage. He is suspected of being op-
posed by reason of his personal
affiliations in national politics and
in the recent campaign he was OPP
posed by the suffragists who favored
the election of Jamison, Democrat,
and worked for HIM.
The newly elected Republican
successor to Senator Wiley (Mo),
MIR. Spencer. will support suffrage,
but this does not represent a gain.
There were, however, thirty-four

But the gorge of Elliot rose. The
man, after all, was a lawbreaker,
menace to civilization. He was q sur
yivor, by reason of his strength, from
the primitive wolf-pack. The very
look of his hard, gray eyes was dOmi-

rebel heart that if Macdonald wanted

The rich, soft, young voice with its
Irish brOgue died away. The little au-
dience paid the singer the tribute of
silence. She herself was the first to
speak.

namesake of mine, Mora O'Neill, wrote
It," she explained.

We for singing it," Macdonald said SIM

Later in the evening the two dinner
guests walked back TO the hotel to-
gether. They discussed casually the
cost Of living in the North, the raising
of strawberries at Kusiak. and the best
way to treat the mosquito nuisance,
but neither of them referred to the
Macdonald coal claims or to Sheba
O'Neill.

selecting only effective details. There

Macdonald looked at him with a
wary steadiness. Some doubt had
found lOdgment in his mind. Before
he could voice it, if, indeed, he had
any such intention, Elliot broke in
