questions we need to discuss.
Camp life has taught us many les
sons. Our boys who have been in the
army have learned much of value.
How can these things be made to
serve for community bctterment?
That we may study such questions
IS the above and make practical plans
Tor better community life, we have

VICTORY FOR SUFFRAGE

After a fight of forty years and
more the Women's Suffrage Party has
won its most important victory. Con.
gress has acted on the Susan B. An.
thony constitutional amendment res.
olutlon. This proposed amendment
which has been changed little, if any
since its famous authoress, long since
dead, the first drafted it in 1875 will
now 90 to the states for ratificatin. If
three fourths of the State legislatures
so decide, equal suffrage will become
part of the Constitution of the
United States.
Since the action taken by congress
the States of Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin, whose legislatures are in
session, have ratified the amendment.
In the Illinois house the vote was un-
anlmous for the suffrage amendmnt,
while the senate concurred by a vote
of 45 to |. In Michigan both branches
were unanimously in favor of giving
the vote to the ladies. In Wisconsin
the assembly voted 81 for the amend
ment and = against it, while the SEN
ate stood % for and against.
Governor Smith of New York, has
called a special session of the legis-
iaturc for June 10Th to take action
before the next regular session.
In his proclamation the governor
said:

tended to women the suffrage within

MAY ADMIT GERMAY TO
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

That there is serious consider
alton of a proposition to admit Ger.
many to the League of Nations, pro-
vided, Of course, the delegation sign
the peace terms, is the sense of all the
late reports from France.
Tine Associated Press correspond
ent at Paris sums up the situation
as follows:
The movement to admit Germany
to the league of nations is due mainly
to the desire TO avoid the possibility
OF the formation of another group
composed of rival powers, which en-
brace Germany, Russia and the old
Teutonic group.
Evidences have reached the con-
ference leaders of late that influences
are at work in Germany and Russia to
establish relations as basis for a
combination of powers not in the
league. While not regarded as i'm
minent, it was felt that the danger of
such combination would be always
