the Constituent Assembly the supreme
right of citizenship conferred upon
them by the revolution.

years in the Reichstag, but limited to
men, viii now be shared by more than
21000,0Q0 German women, or about
55 per cent Of the electorate.
German newspapers contain numer-
Gus articles written by women on their
unexpectedly speedy enfranchisemcnt
and OH the tasks and duties awaiting
their sex in the reconstruction of the
shattered Fatherland. Characteristic
cally the predominant note is not so
much joyous recognition of the new
responsibility as rather a kind of
mildly awed amazcment at this partic
ular by-product of the cataclysm.

The attitude of many may be summed
up in the phrase: "Ach, mein Gott.
but this is really so sudden" AS a
female writer puts it in the "Vossische

"That which we women had vainlv
sought for decades-the political, en-
franchisemcnt of our sex-has come
to us as a thief Creeping in the night
N the darkest hour of the fate that
we as members of the German people
have to bear on to the bitter end"
writes Marianne Weber in the "Frank
furtcr zeitung."
I'VE women will not conceal from
ourselves the fact that we conceived
this attainment of true democracy in a
different fashion, . 1t is unut-
terably sad that our political freedom
was first born out of the collapse of
our national hopes, the ruins of our
statehood.'

Proclamatlons regarding the "ad-

by the Poles, who also have regular
war reports. In the meantime the Sol
dlers' and Workmen's Council at Essen
IS reported to have forbidden agita-
ton for the raising of troops for home
defence, and the Brunswick govern
ment has forbidden their transporta-
ton in that section and is said to
have disarmed many Of them. At a
meeting at Breslau it was reported
that the Czechs have an army of 800. 900
men on the border and threaten an
invasion.

In the "Berlner Ncuestc Nachrich-
