SUFFRAGISTS UNDAUNTED BY
TEMPORARY SETBACK

That the National American Wo-
men Suffrage Association Is up to its
full fighting strength, despite the
temporary defeat Of the Federal
Suffrage Amendment in the senate
by a vote of SO to 81. is evidenced by
the statement made by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the
national suffrage body. Immediately
following the memorable session OF
the senate.
I'VE are stronger today with the
right and the president, and 81
senators on our side than We ever
were before" said Mrs. Gait. We
would rather be defeated with the
president and the So than win with
the - who voted or paired against
our measure. Where the president
stood yesterday the nation will stand
tomorrow. We are disappointed but
whatever of heartache is ours IL not
on our account but because the
senate has shamed out nation before
the world.
There is no power on earth that
can defeat Woman Suffrage in this
country. We march forward with the
same unflinching courage which has
sustained the suffragists of America
for fifty years. We are glad the vote
was taken. We know now exactly
how to place our work."
No one has been more closely in
touch with the suffrage situation at
Washington than Mrs. Helen II.
Gardener. vice-president OF the
National American Suffrage Associa-
ton, who made the following state
ment, regarding President Wilson's
stand on the Federal Amendment:
Having been the one whose duty
and privilege II has been to deal with
the White House for the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion. for the past two years. have
known how sincerely and earnestly
the president has been with us. I
have known that he held the cause of
woman suffrage very near his heart.
] have known OF very many instances
In which he has helped us both in the
states and In the national fight. l
have known that he has not allowed
the conduct OF the picketing group
of women to influence him In the
slightest degree. even when congress-
men gave 1t to him as their own ex-
cuse for opposing suffrage.
nave known that he hesitated to
take this anal step until the last
minute because he hoped that the
senators. like the members In the
house. would see the vital. funda-
mental issue at stake for democracy
the world over and pass the amend
ment without his final public appeal.
1T stirs our hearts to their
depths to know that we have in the
White House a man who has the
vision and the courage to face the
leaders OF his own party before the
high court Of civilization and demand
for American women that justice lie
done or else that they dare vote 20
place him as well as women at a
signal disadvantage before the world.
He knew that they had rejected his
private appeals. But he knew that
right, and he dared stand for the
right"

marched from the train to the ship
and climbed aboard. Time has passed
SO rapidly for me that II seems only
about three or four months.
Paris is all lighted up now and acts
like a real city full of life and busi-
ness. Our work is about the same, II
ANYTHING little more busy, but that
can't last long. The reason for the
increase is the French firms are get
ting hustle on to complete their
orders SO as not to have them can
celled.
! hauled and shipped two car loads
of material today and finished about
o'clock this afternoon. That is about
the usual run Of work for me. | have
great times at the Depots getting
stuff that has come in for us and
making shipments. Lots of fun with
only a limited supply of French and
their system is so awfully complicated
hear from Ernest Manley quit
often and also Alfred Seymour; they
are all right and glad it is about over.
Now Dad, last Of all little news;
| have been made sergeant, also
