American women are to play an
important part in the presidential
election in 1920. The stage is being
set for them now by the steering
committees having the Woman Suf-
rage Bill in charge in both Senate
and House. Reports are coming in
to the committees from women suff-
rage organizations in all states adj
vising that they are successful in lin
ing up the majority of Congress
men who have been home on vacation
between sessions, also telling that
the new members who will take their
seats for the first time when the
extra session begins, have not been
omitted in their campaign. 1t looks
as if the Woman Suffrage Amend
ment will become a certainty within
the next few months.

The 18th Engineers

During II months absence over
seas valorous service was performed
by the 18th regiment of United
States Engineers, which landed April
20 at Boston, entraining for Camp
Devens where Rehabilitation took
place.
The 14th Railway Engineers, with
four other railroad organizations re-
cruited from the New England rail
roads was the first New England un-
it to arrive in France, and the first
American troops ever to appear un-
der arms in England's Capital,
The regiment was modified at
Rockingham Park, Salem, N. H., and
sailed on July 27, 1917, overseas,
landing at Liverpool, August IL, and
in France August 18. The 14th En-
gineers was Immediately sent into
active service at the front with the
British, there being no American or
ganization in France at that time. 1t
took part in that famous spring drive
made against the British by the Ger
mans in March, 1918, when the Gen.
trail Powers all but split the Allied
ranks. All through the winter it's
members continued activities in OPP
Grating eight or narrow gauge rail-
roads under heavy fire. The regi-
ment was transferred to the Ameri-
can army in August, 1918 and order
ed to Chate&u-Thicrry, proceeding

part of the salvage work over the
battlefelds until February, 1919,
when it was ordered to Bordeaux for
transport home.
Some of the men returned wear
ing decorations showing that while
they were not supposed to be a fight
ing unit they had at times jumped in
to scraps and have given a good ac-
count of themselves whenever and
wherever opportunity offered. Their
plucky stand at q critical period in
the big German drive of March, 1918
will long be remembered in the his
tory of the "World War"

"Spring Fever" And Common Sense
Instead of giving up and saying
you have "spring fever" it is more
sensible to take a good, wholesome
physic. Billiousness, sick headache,
sour stomach, bloating, coated tongue,
all are bannished by Foley Cathartic
tablets. B. B. Harvard, Unadilla, Ca,
writes: "Foley Carthartic Tablets
give quick relief"

omen ale held up on the streets
at the point OF pistols and relieved of

cord tor automobiles stolen is from
five to eight daily, and all in the face
OF the fact that the police force has
been increased in number and is
more vigilant than ever. Citizens
are alarmed at the crime wave.
And to cap the climax, the Super
intendent of the District of Column
oia Jail permitted colored muir
derer TO escape and also admitted
that two of his guards escorted, in
dicted for murder to his home and
there let him remain four hours so
as to participate in an Easter dance.
The Italian was returned to jail,
but the superintendent and his
guards have been discharged.
The officers and enlisted men of
the Medical Department of the Ar
my, both at home and abroad, will
be advised by the Surgeon General
that there is little prospect of an
early release from duty. Only in
case of absolute dependency, or a
necessary connection with some in
dustry of Importance, will be con-
sidered valid reason for discharge.
1t is claimed that too many releases
have already been granted in this de-
partment, leaving the service seri-
ousily short of competent doctors
and nurses to care for the wounded
overseas and in this country.
