THE ELECTION OF MRS. ASTOR

 Mrs Astor is the first to enter parliament in Great Britain and the second to be elected to that body Countess Narkewicz elected by Sim Fen vote in Ireland seated.
 Hereafter many will be chosen to fegislate Great Britain In time to the election of4a will create surprise than the election of but through countless generations the wonder will remain that it was long after arrived before he invented elections and long after that before admitted participation in those elections
 Mrs Astor appears to be gifted woman perhaps with radical tendencies Certainly she has the outlook of compro which coors conservative uerance world She against profeer and against Bolshevss gardng the latter apparently Bolshevst in another gar ment Mrs Astor may may an impression on par ament. The chances that she will Parliament the American Congress- is composed of few able men,

 Women not expected to elect super to office more than the do It is very difficult, under democratic system, put supermen into any kind office son that such man is to differ with things that received and he will have against him many groups individuals who like to go in the nice old way.
 This also proper, for representative bodies do revoluon represent people just as they moving toward and things when the people are ready to move, and not much before.
 Women being part of the people ought to have their presentaves, and these representatives ought to for the people and then especially for what the people want.
 So when Mrs Astor goes office let no one urge against suffrage that in lament may conspicuous The work of most of the males who have been to parliament the earliest days has not been conspicuous.
 Americans will wish Mrs. Astor influential career She woman American and she represents in important way the greatest of all modern reforms that reform which the other half of the people admitted equality of po tica opportunity.

 The English papers call attention to the numerous murders; specifically tc the assassination of another Dublin policeman Saturday night and point out that the government is apparent ly carrying on at the same time two policies toward Ireland one the policy of conciliation embodied in the home rule plan, which is being framed by a cabinet committee; the other a policy of repression, express ed by successive procIamations from Dublin castle curtailing certain hber- ties of the people.

In the confusion of the closing days of Congress, six United States sena- tors-it has just been learned quietly put to permane nent sleep the various bills introduced in the Senate for the repeal of the espionage acts

 News of the action reached the senate slowly. When inquiries were made by surprised senators, Senator Cumm:ns of Iowa, explained on be- half of the six that they felt that the new prohi ibitton measures needed the supplementary support of the es- pionage acts, especially the provisions regarding search warrants. There fore they voted to continue the spy bills in force.

THIS "SUB" WAS
 BADLY TREATED
 BY TANK CHASER

In his account of our Naval patrol in action in the December Worlds Work, Admiral Sims relates the fol- lowing story of what happened when a periscope had been sighted from the deck of one of the patrol boats:
 The Christaibel started full speed for the wake of the periscope; this peri scope itself disappeared under ts~ water like 8 guilty thing, and a o1s- turbance on the surface showed that the submarine was making frantic eff forts to submerge. The destroyer dropped it's depth charge, set to ex- plode at seventy feet, it's radio mean time sending signals broadcast for as sistance. Immediately after the mushroom of water arose from this charge a secondary explosion was
 heard; this was a horrible and muf- fled sound coming from the deep,
 more powerful and more terrible than any that could have been caused by
 the destroyer's ash can" An enor-
 nous volcano of water and all kinds
 of debris arose from the sea, half
 way between the Christabel and the spot where 1t had dropped its charge.
 This secondary explosion shook the
 Christabel so violently that the off1- cers thought at first that the ship had
 been seriously damaged, and a couple of men were knocked sprawling on
 the deck. AS soon as the water sub
 sided great masses of heavy bla.E oil
 began rising to the surface and com pIetely spIintered wood and other
 wreckage appeared. In q few minutes ! the sea, for a. space many hundred yards in diameter, was covered with dead hsh-about ten times as many. the officers reported, as could have been killed by the usual depth | charge.
 A day or two afterward a bat tered submarine, the U C-56, crept painfully into the harbor of San | lander, Spain; it was the boat which 1 had had such an exciting contest 1 with the Christabel. She was injured l beyond the possibility of repair. The | Spanish Government interned her for | "the duration of the var; so that i for all practical purposes, the yes 1 sel was as good as sunk.
