THE SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE

Reservations now represent the
second line of defense for the
Senatorial opponents of the
League Of Nations and the treaty
of peace. They took their stand
on amendments. but despite their
heavy use of poison gas and in
cendiary weapons-racial and re-
ligious issues among them-they
have been forced to retreat, with
ranks broken and great rhetorical
losses.
Behind reservations now the
obstructonists are crouching,
half STOPPING, to facilitate their
racing farther rearward when
emergency presses. And back
they must go; back to final ac-
ceptance of the treaty and the
League of Nations as the people
want it. There will be new bonn
bardments from these enemies of
the treaty. That is inevitable.
They will deliver counter attacks
and hurl oratorical bombs in vast
numbers at the President and the
other supporters of the treaty
But iii the end they must sur
render their position on reserva-
tons as they have already with
drawn from their stand on
amendments.
Won Hindenburg made his
greatest drive-we learn from
Ludendorff-when at last the
conviction of ultimate defeat pos
sessed him. Senator Lodge, pu-
tative leader of the Republican
defeatists, was most truculent as
he was on the point of falling
back. These forces of futility
fought for some forty-five amend
ments. They compassed none.
They now begin to battle for res
crvations.

To the Editor OF the Evening Capital:
but they wish TO be counted at the
in your paper to comment on paid
advertisement which appeared in last
evenings issue?
The article states that 1--WE are
ceasing to be a Democracy"-We are
just beginning to have real Demo-
crazy, as matter Of fact, and it is the
group of people who are responsible
for the advertisement who are at
tempting to block the way.
Women, that is the most of those
who are striving for the justice and
protection which the ballot will give
them, do not crave power in politics.
but they wished to be counted at the
polls. and what if their voting should
increase the taxes bit, have not some
property-owning women helped pay
the expenses of holding elections long
enough without having any direct in
terest in them to entitle them to some
additional expenditure now? 1t is alb
solutely false to say that "suffragists
always fight against having the ques-
ton submitted to the people" Their
first efforts in Maryland were In that
direction--to get referendum SUBJ
'mitted to the people and the ants OPP
posed that during three sessions of the
Legislature. Now when the question
is that of ratifying. the Federal
Amendment, the poor Inconsistent an
tbs want to pretend to favor a referen-
dunn to the people. One could respect
them if they would be honest enough
to simply say they oppose suffrage for
women. no matter how it is obtained
But, Mr.. Editor. suffrage for women is
a foregone conclusion now. The. bal
lot is within her reach. She has only
to prepare to use it. and be it said to
her credit she is already on the way
with such preparation. All over the
State there are groups of women read
ing books on good citizenship, and
studying the history or our govern
ment. Even here in conservative An
napolis..a local patriotic Organization
is being lectured to on the Constitu-
tion-getting ready for intelligent,
conscientious citizenship.
The saffragists have fought a good
fight for all womankind. and are en-
titled to the reward of their labors,
and very soon the men will be very
glad to welcome them to the elector-
ate, where the highest ideals, the
calmest spirit, the wisest judgment of
all of her citizens will be needed toll

bred yards in advance of the COM
pany's position. Ignoring all warnings
as to the danger involved, he and
another stretcher bearer crawled to
the shell hole under violent machine
gun fire and found that the man was
so severely wounded that he could
only be carried on litter. Although
the wounded soldier attempted to dis
Suade him from so doing. Private
Stockton returned to our line. secured
litter and proceeded once more to
the shell hole in direct view of the
enemy and under the most intense
fire from machine guns $50 yards
away. He succeeded in reaching the
shell hole safely, but as he was plac-
ing the wounded patient on the litter
he was instantly killed. Private Stock
ton was a son Of Rev. J. A. Stockton,
