praise of the Americans who had

days to roll up their sleeves and
hold the Germans back at Chat

that time the spirit and morale of
the English and French soldier
were low. The French repeated,

held back and when the Germans
made their final thrust the Ameri
cans were rushed to the scene

The Texas Victory

~ COMMENTING on the Texas
Y victory, Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association, said:
In some respects the Texas VIC
tory is the greatest state victory
that suffrage has ever scored.
"For one thing Texas is the first
state in the far South to give women
full suffrage; it is the largest state
in area; it had the shortest pre-
campaign period of preparation; it
met with the bitterest opposition.
Led by an impeached Ex-Governor
of Texas, the 'antis' fairly outdid
themselves in. vicious vituperation.
SO raw, so crude were they that
the Texas press repeatedly admins
tered scathing rebukes during the
campaign, and the Texas lower
house one day, finding the anti-suf-
frage brand of matter on the desks
OF members, voted overwhelmingly
in condemnation of such campaign
literature.
"ln point of area Texas, it will be
remembered, has 265,S96 square
miles. This means that YOU could
pick up the 243,327 square miles of
Great Britain, Belgium, Continental
Italy, and put them down in Texas
with a nice wide fringe of 22,569
miles hanging over, enough to let
European Turkey, Montenegro and
ce-Lorraine rattle around in.
an point Of the number Of women
enfranchised, the Texas victory is
also one Of the greatest, the total
number Of women in Texas over
voting age being close to a million
o99,166.
"Texas is the sixteenth state to
win full suffrage. All the state vic
tories have been won by the Ma
tional American Woman Suf-
frage Association, through it's state
branches, as part Of the nationals
programme to secure the passage Of
the Federal suffrage amendment. In
the result, there IL now force Of
fifteen and n half million women
over voting age back of the demand
Tor the passage and ratification of
the Federal suffrage amendment. >"

After another great war Mrs.
