MAY REvOLUTIONIzE MOTOR POWER

Scientific tests are still being made under authorization of congress of a wonderful device of Garabed T. Gira- gosSian, an Armenian inventor and me- chanic of Boston, which if all that is claimed for it proves true, will revo- lutionfze the motor power of the world.
 The inventor calls his device a free energy generator and it is sig nifcant that congress deemed the mat ter worthy of scientific tests. Just what the engine is, is not made known. It is claimed by the Inventor that it can drive a battleship any distance without stop for fuel for this strange device uses no fuel; that it can propel an airplane around the world with armor heavy enough to turn aside the heaviest shells, and perform other feats that seem most uncanny.
 In speaking of his invention, MT. Giragossian says:

CUSTODIAN OF ENEMY PROPERTY

Arrangements were made at a con- ference between President Wilson and A. Mitchell Palmer, custodian of ene- my property, to put into complete op- eration the provisions of the trading W1th-the-enemy law for custody of property in this country of German citizens and those of countries allied with Germany.
 Receipts of enemy property al- ready hRts begun, the first receipts be- ing drast for $1OO,OOO vountarily ten dered the Custodian, who promptly in- vested it fn Liberty bonds.
 Within short time property worth millions of dollars will Ia in the cus- todian's hands. President Wilson soon will issue an executive order which will authorize opening of branch bu- reaus for receipt of enemy property.
 The ultimate disposition of prop erty taken over by his office, MT. Palmer explained, rests with congress, which must decide whether it shall be ring the war by the custodian as a 1oru 0f Mr. pa1roo,- of cE n0n e

The Changing Times.

This war is changing all of our old est institutions. In more peaceful days the typewriter repair man came in, turned a screw. untangled the rib bon, wrote, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party" and went his way.
 But times are different. The repair man entered the office this week and wrote: "A quick movement of the en- emy will jeopardize six gunboats."- New York Evening Post.

The English Parliament has enfran-
chised the women of that country; all
over the world, except in Germany,
democracy which includes as a matter of
course equal rights for women is march
ing on.
"Of course they don't think they can
beat us, but doubtless they feel that they
can postpone the evil day. But they can't
do it long. For the Senate Of the United
States to be in the position of refusing
democracy at home while America is
fighting for it abroad would be unthink-
able"
Drives Along Different Lines.
During this brief Congressional recess,
while the Senators are Fourth Of Julying
at their homes, the two wings Of the SUITS,
the radical National Woman's party and
the safe and steady National Woman
Suffrage Association, are making their
plans for the resumption Of the drive
along very different lines. As Miss Alice
Paul forcibly said in the Senate lobby
after the amendment was withdrawn, the
N. w. P. holds the Democratic party and
most of all President Wilson responsible
for the delay in its passage. They are
therefore hot for a political fight aimed
at the defeat Of Democratic candidates
this fall unless President Wilson, they
say, puts the measure through pretty
quick.
The New York city branch Of the party
started the ARRAY Immediately after the
withdrawal with Democratic street
meetings and announced that it had hun
dreds of statements from women who had
enrolled with the Democrats, but were
going to vote against all Democratic can
didates. To date those statements have
not materiahzed. save in q sparse and
scattering way. The great majority of
suffragists realize that, even granting
that the opposition to the Federal suf
frage measure is on party lines, granting
that we ought to follow the English
method of holding the party in power
responsible, it would be well to wait
wee. This Congress does not die until
next March, and why spill the porridge
prematurely?
Miss Hay, we'll known to be Mrs. Cats
familiar, who. lives with her and orders
her groceries, has started the New York
City Woman Suffrage party on the track
of vengeance, having sworn her women to
vote against all candidates for Office I'M
less they are back of the Federal amend
ment. Though what good that will do,
since Senator Wadsworth is not up for
reelection this fall, is problematieal.
May be it will be an object lesson, have
psychological effect.
However, it is clear that even the con-
sentative wing of the SUITS is putting on
the war paint and making ready to use
its ever increasing political power to
widen the suffrage. But this wing is far
from holding the Democratic party re-
sponsibIe for the delay of nation wide en-
franchisement for women.
"There is nothing political about the
opposition" Mrs Gait declared the other
day. "The little group of men who are

MAYBE the anti-suffrage Senators
1Hl fondly dream that they laid the
suffrage ghost for good on that memoir
able June u last when hosts of women
who had worked for the Federal enfran-
chisement of their sex forty odd years
oh, well, perhaps not that long rs indi-
viduals, not all of them, but anyhow DR..
Anna Howard Shaw has, and the cause
has gone rolling on steadily and unre-
mittingly.
To resume: Maybe Senators Reed of
Missouri and Underwood of Alabama and
Wadsworth Of New York and Brandegee
of Connecticut and the rest of the tOgaed
defenders of woman's right to be Stacker
from the burdens of Government-maybe
they think they settled the question for
ever on June 81, when the suffragists
sat in the galleries and looked more and
more downcast, and the anti ladies, also
in the galleries, smiled down on their
Knights who led the filibuster tilt.
Well, let them think so for few
weeks. As Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
says, what with the war and all, it has
been hard year for Senator'S. Those
Congressman who were willing to work,
she says, have toiled like laborers working
by the piece, and they deserve little rest.
Let them lull their minds during the
midsummer recess, Graded in the sweet
assurance that nothing worse than army
appropriation bills and tax bills and the
business Of Uncle Sans taking over the
telegraph and telephone services Of the
country awaits them after their brief
vacation. Besides, being off their guard
will make them easier game for the SUITS
when Congress reassembles.
Will Find Suffs Waiting.
For they'll find Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait and Miss Mary Garrett Hay and
Mrs Maud Wood Park and Miss Alice
Paul and all the rest of the SUITS waiting
for them at the door of the Senate cham
Der and in the Senators Offices and
around the Hobbies and the Senate lunch
room and wherever, in fact, stuff can
do little boosting for the measure which
they are grimly determined shall 60
through in time for the fulilment of
Susan B. Anthony's prophecy that the
women of the United States would vote
for President in 1920. In the words of
Mrs Gait:
1.-THE little group of wilful men in the
Senate who are blocking this measure of
Justice to women are fighting with their
backs to the wall. They are in the last
trench of conservatism.
"They must know that it will become
a law. The House passed the amendment
by a two-thirds vote. A majority of the
Senate is for it, The President of the
United States has declared it necessary
war measure, and is doing all that
President can to push it through.
1.-THE Republican National Chairman,
Will Hay, and the Democratic National
Chairman, Vance Mccormick, are on its
side. Petitions from State Legislatures
and great national organizations have
flooded the Senate demanding its passage.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-07-07

in which the President is backing the
measure are better for it and them. 1t
is true, they say, that Mr.. Wilson forced
certain war legislation through by open
appeal by appearing in the Senate when
all else had failed, but that, they say, was
different. That concerned certain things
necessary for the conduct of the war.
And though the SUITS don't say so, they
realize that for the PRESIDENT to put suf-
frage through when the Administration
leaders, Simmons Of North Carolina, Mar
tin Of Virginia, Underwood Of Alabama,
are against it-well, they know it's
tough job even for man with President
Wilson's set jaw. But Mss Helen Todd
says, and she's one of the Alice Paul
crowd, too, that President Wilson has
won every fight he ever entered and he'll
win this one, too"
To Be on Hand at the Start.
1t is the intention of the SUITS to be
right in Washington the day Congress
reassembles, and while the House is busy
with the Aswen wire service resolution
and other war measures that must be
passed by the lower branch first to spring
the suffrage amendment on the Senate.
There are. good many SUITS who main
tain that it would have passed June q
even had the pros consented to pair two
Of their men with Senator Ollie James
of Kentucky, who sent that fearful anti
suffrage plea from his sick bed. This
would have deprived them Of their mar
row majority of one, but the optimists
argue that as the roll call went mex
orably On some wavering anti would have
taken fright at the prospect Of going
down in history as the man who defeated
the suffrage amendment and would have
changed from "No" to "Yes"-even as
Congressman Thomas F. Smith says that
as the roll call went inexorably on in
the House last January, and he saw how
close it was going to be, he realized that
1t was up to him to sacrifice his earnest
belief that woman should be kept out Of
the mlre OF pohflcS-lt would never 90
for q Tammany man to be the man to
defeat suffrage, and so he walled "Yes'
instead Of shouting "Nop
But there's too much at stake to risk
everything on chance like that; the SUITS
are playing safe. Time, they say, is win
ming votes for them. Mrs. Gait brings
hopeful news of the mellowing of one anti
Senator since June ~, though she won't
say which one.
The Solid South is broken. Texas
women have registered in satisfactory
numbers for the primaries, which, in n
one party State, means just the same as
elections. Forty thousand Arkansas
women have participated in a Statewide
primary, and are being welcomed into
the very heart Of the Democratic party.
"With New York won, with the West
solid white, with the South getting
speckled, suffrage is about here" says
Mrs. Gait. "That little group of wilful
Senators can worry Us for a while, but
they are beaten now and they know it. I
wish they'd acknowledge it, 50 I could

II hold the six leaders of the other side

politics makes strange bedfeilows, it
is said; and certainly anti-sufrage makes
strange bedfellows. There was never
funnier instance of this than when Sen
ator Brandegee, old line member of the
party that fought States rights-for,
while the freeing of the slaves is the thing
most bound up with the thought of the
civil war, it was not to free the slaves
that that war was fought; it was to pre-
serve the principle Of the supremacy Of
the Union-there was never q funnier
sight, 1 say, than when Brandegee rose
in his seat on June 81 and implored his
Democratic colleagues not to 60 back on
their belief in State rights, net TO vote
for the Federal amendment
"And be was heckled and ehaffed by
two Senators from States that were on

ham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson

at is one more proof, if any were
needed, that the anti-suffragist is a Ger
tain obsolete type Of mind to be found
here and there in both parties. ! don't
think, either, that the opposition Of Ger
tain Southern Senators IS because Of the
negro question. Il Is Just conservatism,
pure and simple, and that is the trouble
with the Northern anti Senators too.
There are more anti-sufrage Democrats
in the Senate than anti-sufrage Repub-
licans, but then there are more Demo
Gratis than Republicans there"
Want. Wilson to Demand It.
Alice Paul declares fervently that
President Wilson ought to 60 before the
Senate in person for the amendment,
holding that if he would do so it would
pass at once Some weeks before the
President wrote in his acknowledgment
of the memorial Of the French woman
suffragists that it was his earnest hope
that the Senate Of the United States
would pass the suffrage amendment Of our
Federal Constitution before the end of
this session" the National Woman's
party insisted that the President had only
to indicate his wishes and the thing would
pass.
He indicated them, and certain South
ern Senators made it evident that even
President Wilson's power has its limits.
It's an open secret among the National
Woman Suffrage Association brand Of
SUITS that if President Wilson went to the
Senate and read a message saying, "Pass
that suffrage amendment" it might do
more harm than good.
Decidedly suffrage leaders in and out
of the Senate feel the less obvious ways

THE NEED FOR NURSES.

Most urgent appeals are being made
to women to study nursing. Those who
must necessarily stay at home are
asked to take home nursing courses,
so they can care for the less critical
maladies in their own homes, and not
require the services of those who
could be working in army hospitals.
And of course a great number of
young and vigorous women should be
preparing for field hospital work.
Nurses have probably averaged to
earn nearly twice as much as teachers.
The work is, of course, hard, but al
most all of those who 20 into it feel
we'll repaid for their effort and sacri'
flee. If they become overtired they
are usually able to secure periods of
rest. . E&R. sf
No patriotic service can be more
helpful and necessary. Good nursing
will restore many wounded soldiers
to health and fighting ability. Many
women who are fretting because they
can't do more to help should hear this
urgent appeal.

ever been rewarded and they have
| seen their numbers Increased. and
the cause of the Master gain q
mastery in due time.
A third matter to be considered in
connection with this lesson is the
two types of people who were con.
verted and found Jesus. The first is
that of the intelligent, trustful, pure.
hearted Lydia, who needed but the
directing hand of the apostle or OF a
Christian friend to bring her into full
fellowship with Christ and make her
his devoted disciple forever The
other type is that of the brutal,
coarse jailer. HIS heart was not
ready. No ordinary preaching or
teaching would have affected him.. 1t
took. the experiences of an EARTH
quake, the supernatural. to show him
that he was a sinner, to make him
humble and ready to do Gods will.
Let It be noted that they both be-
came followers of Jesus, and believe
that the jailer at no time would find
fault with the conversion of the gentle
Lydia. He would not say, because
there was no great supernatural DEM
onstratiOn, she was converted and like
wise Lydia, the true woman that she
was, would never say that the jailer
was not truly follower OF Jesus, as
she was. 1t might here be noted that
as a proud Roman jailer, he put the
two apostles in jail without mercy,
while q Christian, he bathed their
wounds, gave them something to eat
and was tender and sympathetic. The
religion of Jesus always has this ef-
feet upon those who truly carry out
its principles.
This always gives Christian readers
thrill of satisfaction when they read
that the next day the magistrates who
had put Paul into prison without
trial were obliged to humbly come
to its doors and beg him to come
out. They had tried to same them
selves this humiliation by asking
Paul and Silas, to 60 quietly away,
1t having developed that they were
Romans, and could not lawfully be
treated as they had been on the pre-.
vious day. : I,<-s ,-r
