Nor is entertainment for the men
aboard troop ship confined to ath-
letics, games and supplying reading
matter. On every boat are talented
men, going over in the ranks, or on
special missions. The "Y" man makes
it his business to get up concert
for the boys every evening, beginning
after the boxing. Sometimes the
meetings are held on deck, at other
times in the dining salon. Often but
half the boys can get within hearing,
so the entertainment is repeated for
the other half on the following even

ingly do so. The story teller is popu-
lar and the singer in great demand.

On the ship with Tom, and Dick and
Harry, was party of Red Cross
nurses, and the "Y" man was wise
enough to know that they might prove
more attractive to the Doy5, on occa-
sion, than himself. So he turned over
to them the talking machine which
was part Of his equipment and Sc
erred their aid and cooperation in his
work. He made arrangements for
them to take it down ar'ong the men
al certain hours and there trey would
put on concerts that were immensely
popular. The presence Of jolly, pleas
ant American girls was a great slim
illus to the men.
"Here comes the girls" would como
the cry as the party appeared.
The bunch would listen eagerly to
the concert, and break out with shouts
of ':Don't let them co." at each indica-
tion of an intention to leave. These
visits provided topic of conversation
for mary hours.

When Sunday came the. "Y" man
would help the chaplain in conducting
the regular services, and the chaplain
would help him when it came time for
an evening "Y" meeting. If the boys
wanted prayer meeting during the

chaplain and helped arrange he de-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

While great war issues are attract

the government we are taking time
in Washington to try out woman sui

osition than most people, especially
in the south, had supposed. 1t is not
a world startling thing that the presi
dent should endorse the measure now
pending in congress and it is not an
altogether unreasonable proposition
adopt it through resolution as they
did yesterday,
TO us it was a most natural thing
1t is one of our fine strokes for clean
er politics. When the national gov
eminent adopts it there will be marked
changes in elections in some CT oul
eastern and southern states. There
are men who exercise the ballot who

There are wcmen who will not be
over anxious to assert this new priv
lege, but it is coming and with it q
new political atmosphere.
President Wilson can well afford
to approve Of the amendment TO wo
man suffrage we may say with great
deal OF accuracy President Wilson owes
his last victory over the republicans
With but one or two exceptions, the
states where women vote gave him a
large lead in the national election But
we are not to presume that this is
at all his for favoring suffrage fol
women.
The exercise of the ballot by the
representative women of the coun ry
is a duty which statesmen are begin

thing will work wonders in old Geor

Some of our political leaders would

amounts as he finds are due under a
fair Interpretation Of the law.
There is no need of excitement over

"Of course. Why not? The old man laughed mirthlessly; then his voice changed. "Go back" he said "go back and die in the fields. Matanzas stinks of rotting corpses. Go back where the air is clean.' He swung his long lash over the oxen, they leaned against the load. and the cart creaked dismally on it's way.
 It is never difficult to enter a trap, and Matanzas was precisely that. There were soldiers everywhere, but beyond an indifferent challenge at the outer blockhouse, perfunctory ques- ton or two, Narciso and Juan Villar experienced no trouble whatever iD passing the lines. Discipline, never strict at best, was extremely lax at the brick fortinas along the roads, and, since these two refugees were too poor to warrant search, they were waved onward by the sentries. They obeyed silently; in aimless bewilderment they shuflled along toward the heart of the city. Almost before they realized it they had run the gantlet and had joined that army of misery, fifteen thousand strong. The hand of Spain had closed over them.
