through the senate several weeks ago,
Mr. Musgrove worked hard and spent
much money for the suffrage cause.
Mr.. Cummings will come direct from
Washington to speak before the executive
committee and visitors. He will stress
the Importance of the committee APPROX
ing the measure. and If this action is
taken by the committee the suffrage
leaders will use it to get the amendment
before the two branches of the leglS-
lature before the final adjournment on
the fiftieth legislative day. The din
ner at the Country club will be an in
formal affair, no dress suits being worn
by the men attendants, it was announced
Tuesday afternoon
That the suffra gists will continue their
fight, just as was done in Georgia dur
ing the legislature that adjourned last
Wednesday, is shown in the activities
and every movement of Mrs. Scion ia
cobs, Mrs. Bib Graves and other leaders
in Alabama They are backed by strong
leaders of the democratic party, who are
urging the adoption of the amendment on
the ground that women should nave the
same privileges of the ballot as the men
and that the democratic party will need
their votes when the amendment is final
ly ratified by the required number OF
states in the United states.
1t is now said to be the intention or
the suffrage leaders in the Senate TO
bring the question up again just as soon
as the administrati TONS revenue bill is
out of the way in the b. use. That will
be about the forty-fiifth day, it is said.

Holland Foreign Minister Declares
in Favor OF Plan for League
OF Nations.
SCHEME NOT PERFECT
Netherlands Government Considers
Its Duty Lies in saIutins Coming
of Society of Powers With
Great Satisfaction.

Amsterdam, March 26.--Jonkheer
Karnebeek, the foreign minister, made
the following statement regarding the
league Of nations:
THE Netherlands government, hav.
ing received an invitation to attend
the peace conference, while 1t is dis
cussing the league Of nations, DR..
Loder, a member OF the high court OF
appeals and Prof. w. ]. NJ. Van Ely.
singa Of Leyden university, have been
sent to Paris in order to cooperate
with DR.. John London and explain the
views of their government in this mat
ter.
Il hold the opinion that the present
draft for league of nations really de-
serves attention as a fair Introductory
step to a period in the relations be-
tween nations, opening quite new
channel for the development of the
mutual interests OF humanity.
However, l am one of those who
think the equality Of the rights of
nations, one of the most important
means for increasing the confidence of
the smaller powers in a league of ma
tons, and feel that in this direction the
plan does not give entire satisfaction.
Nevertheless, | am much inclined to
believe that the present scheme Of the
league of nations will in no way him
der its future Improvement and de-
yelopment on larger scale.
AT the same time it might be con-
sidered the duty of the Netherlands,
backed by their tradition of prosper
ing the work of international under
standing and international law, to sa-
lutte the coming Of league of nations
generally with great satisfaction and
without too much criticism"
