THRIFT AND SAVINGS STAMPS

There is absolutely nc reason
for cashing a single Savings
Stamp before maturity. The
single Savings Stamp will grow

as your twenty stamps, and the
government will redeem 1t on ex-
piration for S.. Just as it will re-
deem your twenty Savings stamps

that you can ill out these cards

FIVE WOMEN ARRESTED

Washington, Jan l.--Riotous
scenes were enacted tonight in front
of the White House when soldiers,

in Lafayette Park by "Sentinels" OF
the National Woman's Party as a pro-
test against the failure of the Senate
to pass the Equal suffrage resolution.
Women carrying banners were
Knocked down by the charging crowd
and their emblems destroyed, while
an urn in which the watch fire" was
burning was destroyed. After the
police had restored order the women
started a new fire In one of the big
urns in the yark and five OF them
were arrested by the polic5 for this
violation OF park regulations. They
refused to furnish bond and we're
held for a while at a precinct station,
Later they were released by the police
and told 10 appear in the police court
tomorrow morning At the Woman's s
Party Headquarters it was said to-
night that since the women had not
furnished any bond they would not
appear for trial.
During the afternoon the women
burned copies OF speeches delivered
by President Wilson in Europe, and
as the last one was destroyed the
"sentinels" unfurled a banner bear
ing an inscription denouncing Presi
dent Wilson as false prophet Of
democracy" a dozen soldiers and
sailors instantly surrounded the ban
ner and shut it from the view of the
crowd Of several hundred persons.
