JOHN CECIL COX OF NEzPERCE
KILLED IN FRANCE-WITH
GRANGEvILLE BOYS.
ENLISTED HERE APRIL, 1917
First Fatality Among Soldiers Who
Were in Original Unit That
Left Grangeville.

John Cecil Cox of Nezperce, mem
Der of the old Company f, Grangeville IS
own company, now in France, has been
killed in action. His death was an
nounced by the war department in Sun
day s casualty list. The report has been
verified by message received by the
young soldier s mother, Mrs. Olive Cox,
in Nezperce.
As tribute to the memory of the
dead soldier, the American flag on the
county flag pole is flying at half mast.
Cox is the first member of Company f
to lose his life in battle. However, the
fact that he has been killed in battle,
does not indicate that all the Grange
vile boys in France are in the fighting.
The old Company E has been split into
many parts and the members thereof
are scattered in various parts of France,
mostly in the engineer corps.
Enlisted With IA Comrades.
John Cecil Cox was one of fourteen
young men of Nezperee who entered
the military service by becoming a
volunteer members of Company E,
Second Idaho National Guard, April 2,
1917. He was also one of the ten of
this fourteen who later passed the neces-
sary examinations and was, with his
regiment, mustered into the national
service. After a season of training at
Boise barracks and guard duty in Utah,
the regiment was transferred to Camp
Greene N. c., and thence to Hampstead,
Long Island At Camp Greene the Nez
perez boys were transferred to the 10th
Engineers. During the latter part of
1917, the regiment sailed for
France and landed there early in Decem
Der. Here a reorganization of the
forces found young Cox and few of
his companions in the Second U. S. En-
gineers.
Born in Philadelphia.
John Cecil Cox was born in Philadel

education principally in California, and
was also pupil in the Nezperce schools
for some time, and had finished the first
year at the University of Idaho. He
was member of the Church of Broth
rem, with which he united in early life
The character of the man he was may be
best understood from the fact that he
took the first opportunity offered to en-
ter the service of his country when war
clouds were most ominius and the call for
real men was imminent. His record in
the service was always above reproach,
and that he met his fate like an Ameri
can hero none who knew him doubt.
He was the eldest son of Mrs. Olive
Cox of Nezperce, nephew of Frank
and George Johnson, of Nezperce, Z. A.
johnson, o. Lewiston, and Mrs e. w.
Jones and Mrs. 1. II. Jorgens, of Spo

SUFFRAGE PASSED

Miss Mae offterdinger, one of the
only two women who were on the
floor of the House when the Federal
suffrage amendment was debated and
voted on. today told The Times of her
impressions. Congresswoman Jean
nette Rankin of Montana was the
only other woman on the floor Of the
House when the vote was taken.

ments of my life" said Miss offter-
dinger, who for the last four and
one-half years has been an ardent
worker for the suffrage cause. She
is private secretary to Congressman
Ralxer of California and clerk to the
Woman Suffrage Committee, OF
which Congressman Raker Is chair
man. She has been practically q lie
long resident of the District.
Indeed, 4 am almost tempted to
leave Washington and go to a city
where can vote. It's a shame women
can't vote here.

cause for about four and one-half
ysars, and you can be sure was
when the bill passed. OF course, at
the time 1 didn't realize how great
an honor it was, but ] can assure you

HOUSE Of LORDS
REJECTS PLAN TO
DENY WOMEN VOTE

. LONDON. 'Jan. 1.-THE House OF
Lords has rejected Lord Loreburn's
amendment 10 the representation OF the
people bill, by which it was sought to
exclude women from the suffrage. The
vote against the amendment was lA
10 So
The new franchise bill before the House
OF Lords revealed strong opposition to
woman suffrage. Earl Loreburn moved
to omit from the bill the clause giving
women the Parliamentary vote. After
a two days debate the amendment was
rejected
The debate showed one important con-
vert TO the women's cause in the Bishop
OF London. But Earl Lorebun. the mar
quis of Lansdowne, Baron Finlay. and
Earl Curzon strongly opposed placing
the name Of six million women on the
voting register. They argued that the
present House OF Commons, which had
been extended beyond its natural life.
owing 70 the war, had no mandate TO
decide such a momentuous question.
Moreover, it was Illogical, IL the vote
was given. to stipulate the age OF thirty
years as a qualification. Lord Curzon
argued that wherever women had been
granted the vote a stimulus had always
been given to Socialism

now to the Senate with complete con-

of the measure favorably at an early

WOMEN'SAPPEAL
TOSENSE Of RIGHT
WON, SAYSLEADER

The National American Woman Suff
rage Association today issued a state
ment, through its president, Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait, pointing out the
nOn-partisan character OF yesterdays
victory in the House.
AS an absolutely ,non,partisan or
ganization, we rejoice that it is due
to no one party that our great vic
tory was won, but TO the friends of
suffrage in all parties" says Mrs
Cats statement. 81 have always
hoped and insisted that suffrage must
be won not as a party measure. but
on the strength OF its appeal to mems
sense of right irrespective of party.
Winning in that way yesterday
women are left free to make their
party alignments, and to. carry the
question to the State legislatures on
the same non-partisan basis.
BehoIden TO None.
THE House vote leaves women pre-
emineptly beholden to neither of the
dominating parties. but deeply in
debted to both. because each brought
striking and determining influences
TO bear on behalf OF the amendment.
On the Democratic side there was the
action OF the President, the Speaker,
and four members OF the Cabinet, in
taking their stand for the amend.
ment at a crucial hour.
"ParallelinG 1t on the Republican
side there was the tremendous active
help, given us by powerful Republican
leaders, topped 10y the dramatic and
effective entrance Of MIR. Mann. to cast
the great weight of his influence into
the Republican scale just as the vote
WAS to be taken.
To all the leaders. irrespective of
party, and TO those men who came &c
vote at great personal sacrifices, the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association expresses its profound ap.
probation and extends its sinceres
thanks"
Miss Hay GrafIfIed.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman
of the Woman Suffrage Party, of New
York city, who led the women Of
New York city TO victory on Novem-
Der 6, has this to say by way OF ex-
pressing her qualification at the reIa-
tive size OF the Republican vote:
"Of 19s Republicans who voted on
the measure, only thirty-three voted
against it. That is a record for all
Republicans to be proud OF. Great
credit is due our Republican Senator,
Mr.. Calder, for the splendid help he
gave US. Much was due, too, to the
fact that other Republican leaders OF
great prominence. men like Hughes.
Roosevelt, and Whitman, stood by the
as they did.
Personally, I feel that il was Mr.
Mann's vote and influence that was
the deciding factor on the floor of
the House. Az Republican women
should be especially grateful to him"
