SUFFRAGE BY DEFAULT.

1t looks as if woman suffrage is
going to win in the end "by default"
In the graduating class of the Lam
caster high school this year there
was one boy, and, if we mistake not.
nine girls. Colonel Springs and
other speakers of the occasion men,
toned the fact that every year there
is one boy, or one or two boys. or
two or three boys, never an equal
number with the girls, in the grad
uation class. Education is admit
tedly an essential to advancement,
as applied to an individual, to a
community, state or nation The
girls. therefore, are going far ahead
Of the boys and is the time coming
when the women will have to con-
troll for lack of intellectual ability
on the part of the men? Voting at
the polls is only small part of the
responsibilities carried with the en-

until final graduation, together
with the minimum OF boys. leads
! The News to the belief that the wo-
men are right. and that the time will
come, If not already here, that the
women will be better fitted than the
men.
Colonel Springs, in the course of
diplomas, said that he could use a
dozen young men who had high
school education in the different in
dustries in which he is interested,
land he deplored the fact that only
one boy was included in the pres
ent class. 1t really looks like a case
of the survival OF the fittest, and If
local conditions should apply gen

will come to the women.

cials see a frantic admission from
Berlin that the submarine has failed.
American armed power is rolling
overseas in ever increasing force,
despite the utmost exertions of the
undersea pirates off the coast OF Eu-
rope M
Now the raiders have crossed the
seas and lurked for days near Amer
ica's greatest ports. They no doubt
were sent to sink transports but
here again failed. Blocked off the
troop ships by convoy craft, they
have turned in fury against defense
less coasters. In all the record of
destruction they have written, the
raiding party has struck at no vessel
bound overseas and therefore arm
ed for fight. Only ships that could
not hit back have been attacked. The
only one OF half a score of vessels
probably sent to the bottom that had
amy real military value in ship or
cargo was an oil tanker.
Secretary Daniels went to the cap
itol during the day to tell members
of the house naval committee that
the raid was designed to frighten the
American people into demanding
the return OF war vessels from the
other side. He gave assurance that
congress need have no apprehension
as to protection of the American
coast, and that there will be no re-
call OF forces from the war zone.

General Foch, it is conjectured, is
biding his time to make a stand and
throw in his reserves on ground of
his own choosing, though it Is notice
able that the French are putting up
a more determined fight and the ad-
vance of the enemy appears to be
permanently checked. A counter
attack in force, which is always in
prospect but generally avoided as
long as possible in defensive war
fare, aimed at wearing out the
strength of the offensive, may drive
back the Germans to the point of
the beginning of the new offensive
and perhaps beyond.
The armies now are we'll into the

Lancaster county tell The News that
crops are good, both in quality ana
quantity, and with such conditions,
most everybody is willing to swelter
under the hot sun for a little while.
Hot weather brings the evils re-
sultant from uncleanliness, and
typhoid fever and perhaps other
diseases often are prevented by
keeping back-lots and alleyways
clean. Waste or filth should not be
thrown out indiscriminately to the
back lot and there permitted to de-
cay Lime or disinfectant should be
used wherever necessary. "An
ounce of prevention is far better
than a pound of cure" and the life
of some child and possibly the lives
of some grown people may be saved
by proper care of the premises. The
city, The News is informed, will fur
rish all the disinfectant needed free
of cost and little effort as a pre-
ventive measure pays a mighty good
dividend.

THE WAR.

Events of the past few days on the

at first, seemed to think that the
enemy was advancing just as if moth

Hun Friday made some 10 miles in
the face of the French above Sois-
sons, and made some 30 miles in the
first week of the renewed offensive
Careful observers believed the ad-
vance would be checked after per-
mitting the enemy to spend as much
of it's force as possible and Sat
urday, little or no gains were made
by the Germans. In the beginning
of the renewed offensive Monday of
last week, the Hun advanced about
five miles; Tuesday, seven miles;
Wednesday, another seven miles;
Thursday, two miles, and Friday
about eight miles, to within about
90 miles of their farthest southwest
of 1914. when they were driven
back from the Marne. All of these
advances are guaged by a drive in
the center of the allied lines, ex-

The amount of guns, material and
prisoners lost by the allies is not
yet known, and, therefore. compar-
isons of the thrust below Laon with
that in Picardy cannot be made on
approaching a satisfactory
basis. What it has cost the enemy
in killed and prisoners. likewise. Is
not known. And therefore, the cost
of the advance to the enemy cannot
be compared to the value. The in
formation coming from London is
that the British and French have
not lost an unreasonable number OF
captured, though it is conjectured
that the losses of guns may be Sc
rous.
In the operations around Scissors,
twenty divisions of the German
army were massed against seven of
the front, the allies have held their
ground and in some instances have
