Six are in Serbia, where the Restitution and sickness is greatest Some of the 14 have received decorations or been cited for conspicuous service among the soldiers and refugees. They are:

 At the first call of help from Greece, pr. Reyes came to Vodena, near the Greek Serbian frontier, where she set up a hospital. She was given a handful of medical supplies ;,,4D was to supply her hospital never reached Greece. It fell victim to Q German submarine. With the crip- pied condition of transport through Serbia it was impossible for the Amer 1can Red Cross to get her the neces- sary equipment. She had no oper- ating table, no sterilizers no beds, no stoVes-no nothing except her small kit of surgical instruments and a few pounds of medicines A carpenter built an operating table of old dry goods cases. Dr.. Reyes borrowed some iron beds from an abandoned military hospital. Old gasoline cans were made into stoves, stove pipes, dishes, kettles, sterilizers and every- thing needed to aid in an emergency.
 With these nondescript furnishings and with the aid of Dr. Mabel Flood. of Elmira, N. Y. and two American nurses, Dr. Reyes opened the first American hospital in northern Greece.
 When the French and Serbians be- gan their memorable attack on the Bulgarians which eliminated in the collapse of Bulgaria, pr. Reyes was asked by the French army authorities to accompany their troops as regi- mental surgeon. The plucky Ameri- can physician served throughout the attack, treating hundreds of wounded officers and soldiers. Her work drew forth the warmest expressions of praise and thanks from the French and Serbian commands Dr. Reyes is now stationed at Monastir. Serbia, and is lending effective aid to the Ameri- can Red Cross in caring for the sick and wounded soldiers who are return ing to their homes from Austria and Germany.

M'NEEL WRITES ON
 SUFFRAGE MEASURE

To the Editor of The Age-Iierald: 1 wish to express my appreciation of your editorial of June on the Susan B. Anthony amendment. It was timely for 1 in many instances the opponents of rati- fication are raising false issues, either | ignorantly or with design to mislead. Objection is made to the second clause 1 of the amendment, wherein the Con gress, in express words, is given the power to enforce the amendment but it is said that there is no objection to the first clause that prohibits the >abridge- ment or the denial of the right to vote on account of sex. The inference is left no doubt Intentionally, that the Congress would have no power to eneforce this provision of the constitution without the objectionable enforcing clause It so happens that this enforcing clause is not attached to any of the original articles of the constitution and to comparatively few of the amendments. Does anyone
 seriously assert that the Congress. be- cause of such oversight. has no power to pass appropriate legislation to enforce the various articles of the constitution?
 Again. it is frequently argued that there would be no objection to a state giving women the right to vote by amending it's own constitution and laws
 but that the ratification of the Susan B
 Anthony amendment would confront Ala bama and the other southern states with the conditions that had to be met from the time of reconstruction up to the adoption of the present state suffrage laws.
 As matter of fact, should this amend ment he ratified. the effect in Alabama would be merely to admit women to the right of suffrage on the same basis as men, no more nor less than if Alabama should of herself grant her women the
 right to vote. There would be no ne- cessity to amend our suffrage laws be- cause of the ratification of the amend ment and surely no one at this late day will contend that the provisions of our constitution are is violation of the con stitution of the United States.
 It is surprising that racial prejudice is
 being appealed to in order to prevent ratification of this amendment. Race, color or previous condition of servitude became a part of the constitution March 90. 1870, and not in the slightest degree are they touched upon by the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
 Justice to our women and the interest of the democratic party demand the speedy ratification of the suffrage amendment. Respectfully,
 JOHN D. MCNEIL. Birmingham. June 10. 1919.
