WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Especial to The Bulletih.)

Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.-The feature of the week was the complete lefeat or the suffrage amendment which ~ent-d down ingloriousiy in spite of the premature claims of the miii- tants that they ''ilad votes to spare" The truth is they never had a sufficient number to carry it through and their 4laif1is were laid On the very insecure pundation that every man who had not openly declared against it was on heir side. There were several sera- ofs who had treated the ladies con- ttting the lobby with great courtesy,
 iii who had declined to enter into a iiscassion with them The senators
 stened to their arguments and in 'ar1e eases the argument antnuhted to Nreats-i4ut had not felt it necessary make the militant lobby confident. rhey simply declined to commit themselves to the ladies who swarmed he capitol. Neither did they make any lromises to the anti suffrasists. They
 mply listened. The suffragists in 'ieted in counting these men as on the
 idle of suffrage instead of doubtful, ~flc two most notable instances were lose Nof Senator Drew Of New Hamp-
 hire and Senator Benet of South 'arolina. Both these senators are fill- nq vacancies by appointment and when the proper time came they both permitted it to be known to senate ieaders that they should vote against he amendment # it came to vote, 1nd that in so doing they were fol- owing the wishes of their respective states as shown. hy past efforts to get he state to adopt a suffrage amend rnent That killed the last hone of the zufffagist and in 8 moment the sen tie chamber was echo;ns with angry words and bitter recrimination from several senators on the suffrage sida who said they had been triclSed and misled and in their wrath divulged many political secrets as to how the campaign for suffrage had been work ed. Senator Pitf1an of Nevada ac- aused Senator Shoot of Utah; Senator Lewis of Illinois stood on tip-toe and hurled words Of most remarkable length and force at Senator Reed of Missouri.
 Reed reterted in what is conceded to be the strongest suffrage speech ever made on the floor of the senate

 "Oh, it isn't my memories" Loretta

HELP BOOST THE LOAN.

. Throughout the country from coast 10 coast and border to border the peo- ple are responding to the Liberty loan n manner which shows that they gre fully alive to the importance O. going over the top in this necessary undertaking. It Is the biggest thing of the kind that has been attempted and the people have already shown that they sre going to make a re- sponse in keeping with the situation Now is the time to strike the hardes to end the war and inasfftuch as the money to back it is required ther can be no such thing as fall.
 It is time for sacrifice and every- one must be prepared to make it. Much dependence. is placed on tn large subscriptions which will be made but sight cannot be lost of the fact that 1t is equally important that the small subscribers should back up through numbers what the big con tributors furnish in large sums. There is no sum too small and non too large. and 1t is time when ev- eryone should be identified with the work.
 Enough loans have been fioatesl so that it should he thoroughly under stood that this is not cage Of out right giving but one of investment The money Is being loaned under the best possible security. 1t viii be re- paid and repaid with good rate cf interest but even though it is a case of investing the money with the gov ernmeht it means that the help whicl Is needed is soing to be furnishef thereby And with everyone who car doing his part there can be. no>hin

Whether 1t will do any good or nct lis something which will havs to be determined by results, but not $ littl criticism is being offered feEardtn the census bill which is before epn- gress and which has already )asset tke lower house.
 In accordance with the idea Of talk ing a census every ten years it will be necessity to go through that opef- ation again in 1920. The bill in ques- ton provides for that work and the criticism is not directed against the census but against the manner in which the bill provides for the organ ization to do the work for it makes it possible to return 10 the spells sys- 'tem again in connection with tils im- portaht matter, and in view of the fact that 1t comes at the same time as the presidential and congressional election f1ote thah the usual amount cf attention Is given to 1t.

She said she didn't see how such a slow boy as he was ever got to be an officer. She said she we'll remembered his turning bottle of ink upside down to see what was on the bottom, because she herself had had to mop up the ink. And she cap-

 'iEhe struck me as one of the finest

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Good m6tnihs! Have you purchased your Liberty bonds?
 , The man on the corner says: Re- Tenge may be sweet but it doesn't help to save sugar.
 ; With Bulgaria asking for peace it will be interesting to count the days before Turkey puts in like peti- ton.
 /, The hot fight which the allies aye putting up along the entire front is even causing the tar in the Pfussian tnilitarisn to run. e. The desire Of Bulgaria to get out Of the war is going 10 aggravate the case of nerves from which the people of Germany are suffering.
 In occupying with armed forces the German ships lnterned in it's harbots Chill shows none Of the fear of Ger many that Spain does.
 It looks Very much as if Bulgaria was calling for a life line while the Raiser, tied up oh the west front, shouts "Swirn. I'm cofilingl"
 " there is any city or state which needs inspiration in the loan cam pais1 they can certainly get 1t from Middletown, Worcester and Iowa.
 It requires no great ina agination to picture Austria and Turkey standing right in back of Bulgaria with one foot lifted ready to step onto the peace wagon.
 The appearance of the streets on Sunday makes it evident that the auto owners and drivers are not only re- idonciled to the gasless day but thor dhghly in sympathy with 1t.
 When inc allies desired an armistice 1t was of course to drive the Bulgar- Hans so hard that they must imme- diately agree tS surrender. And Qen- Atal Eabsfsy accomplished his purpose,

 The complaint is made by farm CTS that the boys on whose < help they have had to depend so much this year, have no mechanical abil- ity. Hence they don't at all take the place of the old reliable farm hands, If a farm machine breaks down, it takes the farmers valuable time to help the boy operator fix it up.
 While manual training courses have been put in in many places they are usually short and ineem plete. The great majority of the boys in this country leave school with little manual skill and no knowledge of mechanical contri- vances. Many people still regard manual training as a mere fad.

What a stickler Germany is for each and every provision in the rules Iof war laid down by The Hague con- vention, ana how earnestly 1t has worked throughout the war to See that fits armies respected every detail in those provislofisl
 No one knows better than Germany how studiously 1t has disfegafded and broken every rule wbieh stood In the way of accomplishing it's purpose, how it made a scrap Of paper of the sol- emnly drawn treaty with Belgium and engaged in the long list Of violations of the rights of neatrAls atd hutnan- ity in general.
 It is therefore ridiculous for Ger many to come forward with a protest to the United States against the use of shotguns and threatening to exc cute every American caught with such a weapon. Yet that is only what might be expected from such nation as Germany has shown itself to be. It is simply reiterating the claim long since made that anything which is done for the kaiser is all right But anything done in accordance with the rules of war which operates against .him is ali wrong.
 But Germany Is not frightening the United States It Is endeavorins to justify some of its past acts and oth- CTS which 1t eontemplates but the re ply by Secretary Lansing to the pro- test, which calls Gef1nany's attention

It was irnpromptu but the Illinois man had reused the fighting blood of the Missourian by his taunts, and Reed, who is q fluent speaker with a eaustic tongue, was at his kest when he took the floor to reply.

The appropriation is small compared to the needs, but it will enable the public health service to send nurses and doctors to the diff ferent states where the epidemic is
 raging. The public health service stat ed that it had not the money on hand to furnish necessary aid.
