WOODEN HEADS IN ARMY.
New ORR Time

The army is a very peculiar and
sometimes an amusing subject, writes
w. Y. Morgan, still in France. 1T
does some big things remarkably well
and then L does some comparatively
small thin%s in ridiculous way. Our
divisional show has one bit of stage
play that seems to me to be wonder
fully funny and especially character
istic of the army. In the scene an
hotel porter carries a trunk across the
stage. The label on the trunk drops
off, and when its disappearance is
noted the porter carries the trunk
back to the label" Then Mr.. Morgan
draws an off-stage parallel which is
not SO funny:
Last December, when supplies
were short with us, when fuen were
confined to their billet because they
had no shoes and were shivering with
cold and dying with pneumonia be-
cause they did not have proper cloth
ing or fuel when the Y. NJ. c. a. was
unable to get TRANSPORTATION to bring
the desired supplies from the coast
to the army; at such a time l knew
of the army sending drivers to Brest
to get one hundred and fifty large
trucks and driving them all the way
across France to the second army at
Toul, the trucks absolutely empty, and
the warehouses at Brest filled with
goods so badly needed by the second
army. Such errors as these are what
bother me, and they are the fault of
our entire lack of preparation

SUFFRAGE WINNING.

The wonder soon will be why any
United States senator or representa-
tive refused TO vote to give the states
an opportunity to express an opinion
upon a woman suffrage amendment
1t is not long since the present pres
ident sidestepped when his support
was sought by committee of repre-
sentative women. At that time he
said he would not speak as he did
not wish to commit the democratic
party. He was the recognized leader
and no stand upon the question had
been taken
During the session of the last demo-
cratic congress the suffragists were
unable to secure the requisite major
lily. The support was mainly from
republicans, although the president
had been converted TO favoring suf-
frage and openly declared for t after
it became evident that 1t was polite
ally dangerous TO longer remain
silent
senator's who favored suffrage were
elected to insure passage of submis-
sion of an amendment. The presi-.
dent was emboldened to cable to the
senate recommendation for suffrage
legislation. The republicans submit
ted Il house resolution for suffrage
on the first day of the session, and 1t
went through with rush on the sec
ond day. with but three hours of dis
CUSTOM The democrats in the house
with Champ Clark as cheer leader al
most made the bic republican major
ity unanimous.
The Missouri man cndeavored in his
speech upon the amendment to give
the cue to the party congressman by
presenting the subject as duty be-
cause the president had cabled his
wishes. But the house was over
whemingly for the resolution. one of
the republican leaders chided the
Missouri congressman with the fact
that there had been at the last ses-
sion plenty of talk about suffrage, but
no majority had ever been given in
favor of it,
The senate will lose little time in
taking favorable action upon the suf-
frage amendment. Already CON
scientious directors to suffrage are
announcing change of mind, and sew
eral new members who were nom
committal have suddenly found voice
to join in the chorus.
1t will be not all surprising to see
every state legislature approve of the
suffrage amendment.
