There are so many Iowa men here. some are colleeg men, and some are the poorest of poor laborers look to be. When we see them and some of these poor, desperately forlorn Arkansas peo- pie, it seems that there just must be some way to save the children from enough interested in schools to hope it sriiI come from these; that there never will be another generation as ignorant and as narrow -visioned as some of this. But all of it together is truly revela- ton and an education, to see it, and to comprehend just what life is to some people with ability and ambition and the chance and what 1t is to some without any of that

Mrs. Durr went that very day herself. and Tn two days. about one dozen of Montgomery public spirited. patriotic and able wom- en were at the hospital, doing every thing in their power to alleviate the sut- fering of the khaSi-clad lads.

 Mrs. Terrell Smith formerly Miss An- nie Holmes Anderson of this city, has rarely reached her twenties, and she, less than two months ago, became a widow. her husband dying on the fields of France. All of these women stayed at the camp and had the duties of regu- lar nurses It was most gratifying to inc local Red Cross, that they respond ed to the call for aid so promptly, ana officials at the base hospital speak Tn the highest terms of the services which thev have rendered. As the epidemic or influnza is subsiding. they all returned this week, after spending two weeks at camp.

COURIER-JOURN FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The news comes from Louisville, Ky. that the change of ownership of the Louisville Courier-Journal entailing a change of editorial management has es- tablished an attitude as strongly favor able, to woman suffrage as it's former policy was opposed to it.
 In a recent editorial the change of pol Icy was announced. With regard to suf- frage it says
 When English women first clamored for suffrage, the shock to he British temperament was severe. But, behold the British temperament today The some what ancient suggestion that American women should be given the power of the ballot caused the same sort of perplexed staring, but the march in the idea is steady, and, whatever may be urged for or against it. it is marching on.
