Taking Mems Places.

m ELGIUM, with all her merits, has not
TX been so free and progressive in poit-
lD) ical matters as some countries with
a less heroic record. Things are moving,
however.
The Belgian government is not yet ready
to give the ballot to all it's women-indeed,
it has only just granted universal suffrage
to males over q. We need not criticise the
delay in giving Belgian women equal rights
lest the rebuke fall likewise on our own
government. Suffice it to say that the par
tial woman suffrage law now enacted pos
sesses a rare degree of interest because 1t
is so rare a recognition of human justice.
We have become accustomed during the
war to women taking mems places. In all
nations it is customary to speak Of the
woman of the family taking the mans
place when he is killed in battle. But the
expression is usually intended only in an
economic sense. The woman becomes the
bread-winner. Generally her political
status remains unaltered.
Belgium has changed this. The woman
now takes the mans place politically. She
takes up the citizenship rights that be-
longed to him. The soldiers widow is
given the ballot If the man was unmar-
ried, his mother received the ballot. And
the same message of justice is melted out
to the wife or mother of civilian shot by
Germans
Surely any belligerent country which is
not yet willing to enfranchise all it's women
can not do less than follow Belgium s
example.

FEW weeks ago there came back
a to our shores young soldier who
carried In the pocket of his army
olive drab shirt a soiled. badly creased
scrap of paper which he will probably
hold as one OF his most precious pos
sessions during the remainder of his
life. 1t IL q receipt for So live Germans
And the 81 Germans mentioned In the
receipt were only half OF party OF 1o4
captured by tho young Yank and his
buddie.
The holder Of this unique receipt Is
Priv. John z. Rawlinson. formerly of
Kingsville, Tex. and the buddie who
figured with him in the big haul Of
boohe prisoners was Priv. Eugene C..
Reynolds of Brooklyn. N. Y.
According to the story told BY Rey-
nolds. It happened this way: On Sept. rs,
during the last great drive Of the allies,
Rawlinson and Reynolds went over the
top with their unit. In the confusion
and smoke OF the battle they became
entangled in some of the barbed wire of
No Mans Land, and were separated
from their companions. They wandered
around for awhile In the direction OF the
Hun trenches, and finally got mixed
up with some men of another unit who
were ''mopping UP" in . captured Ger
man trench.
A sergeant was in charge Of the mop
ping up party. and noticing a supposed
~ empty trench just beyond that looked
suspicious, detailed a squad to 60 over
and investigate. The squad never came
back So Rawlinson and Reynolds. who
didn't belong to the hopping unit and
were not under the command OF tho ser.
geant exactly. decided that they would
90 over to the mysterious trench OH
their own hook and see what was doing.
I'VE twisted through the communica-
ting trenches" said Reynolds. and all
of sudden we came on to party of
nine Heinies. They were evidently feel
ing pretty secure, for thor arms were
stacked and they were busy packing
away bread. Immediately We opened
