BROTHERS ALI,

MO ONE who has kept informed of the
achievements of fighting men in the
war will be deeply interested in the contro.
versy between Doctor Mckenzie and Mr.
Delaplaine over the comparative fighting
qualities of the educated and the unedu-
Gated soldier. Mr.. Delaplaine insists that
the Fifth Warder, accustomed to street
brawls, fights better than the university
graduate. Doctor Mckenzie disagrees
with him.
The two kinds of men have fought side
by side in the American and English
armies, and each has discovered that the
other had admirable qualities which he
had never before suspected. In fact they
discovered that each was man at bottom
and the accident of education or ignorance
affected their fighting qualities very little,

KILLED BY THE FOLLY OF ITS
FRJENnC

! THE folly OF the English miltants
delayed equal suffrage in Great Britain
for years. The same kind of folly on this
side of the ocean is doubtless responsible
for the defeat of the suffrage amendment
In the Senate yesterday afternoon.
The militants have been behaving fool.
ishy in Washington ever since the Senate
voted down the amendment in October.
They have been picketing the White House
and burning the Presidents speeches and
their associates have planned to Use the
same tactics in Paris by stationing pickets
at the entrance to the Murat mansion.
occupied by Mr.. Wilson, and by making
AS much of a nuisance of themselves as
they could.
Yet the suffragsts gained two votes in
the four months since the last Senate vote.
The amendment had ffty-three affirmative
and thirty-one negative votes on October l.
Yesterday there We're fifty-five affirmative
votes and twenty.nine In the negative. A
change of one vote would have been enough
to send the amendment to the Legislatures
OF the States for ratification. II is prac-
tically impossible to get the proposition
before the Senate again before it adjourns
'i 1l -
This means that even if it should be ap.
proved by the next Congress early in it's
session it cannot be ratified by the States
for two years, as the Legislatures which
meet biennially are in session this winter
and will have adjourned before the new
Congress meets.
The eighty.four votes cast were divided
equally between the two parties. but eight
cen Democrats voted against suffrage,
while only eleven Republicans opposed it,
And thirty-one Republicans supported it
and twenty.four Democrats. Thirteen of
the hostile Democratic votes were polled
by Democratic Senators from TIE Southern
States, although there was one affirmative
vote each from Mississippi, South Carolina
and Tennessee.
There is stronger suffrage support in the
Republican than in the Democratic party.
Consequently the friends of the amendment
can look forward to the next Congress with
reasonable hope that it will consent to it's
submission TO the States.

Made lovelier where the distance dima.
Robed by her tiring-maid, the dusk,

And all her rudenesses are gone;
