MILLION
 W0l.1EN TO VOTE

New York, March 13-NIore than 12,OOO 900 women in the United States over 21 years of age are eIigibls 10 vote for the next president in 25 states where women may vote, ac- cOrdiug to an estimation by Mrs. Car rie Chapman Catt. president of the National Woman Suffrage Association and president of the International Suffrage Alliance.
 This estimate was given in call to the women voters of the United States to join forces with the Ma tiouaI American Woman Suffrage Association at its Golden Jubilee Con yenion 10 be held in St. Louis, March 24-29. Fifty delegates rom each voting state are invited to join the delegations at St. Louis from the 1000, 900 members of the National American Woman Suffrage Associa- ton.
 The National American Woman Suffrage Association has invited wom- en voters to a National convention in
 order that they may organize nation ally and unite their forces with those of other lands" said Mrs. Catt.
 There is an obviously important national program for women voters. The great diversity of laws which
 concern women and children in our several states is a continual menace
 to the safety and welfare of the un-
 fortunate and uninformed.
 The laws os the states could be
 unified and Improvements added even in the states more liberal in their
 laws, if women voters would agree
 pon a proper constructive program. It is a fact so obvious that it needs no demonstration that if one section of the country is much behind the times
 in education and legal protection to women and children, it's civilization is bound to prove a deterrent inf1u- ence over the whole nation. There fore, it becomes the duty of all for
 ward looking people to see that the laws of the whole nation are unified and that the standard by which to
 measure the proper program for each state is the code of laws of the most advanced states.
 Women voters should contribute more to their nation and to the world than they do when acting from a localized viewpoint. Those who live

LONELY OFFICER
 IS IN GERMANY

Coblenz, March Correspondence of The Associated Press) a great castle on a hill and with a count and countess and their four daughters as his nearest neighbOrs dwells today the lonesonest American in all the Occu- pied territory of Germany. He is Lieutenant John W. Scott, of Detroit commanding Company k, 2Sth Infan- try on outpost duty at the stepping off place of the Coblenz bridgehead where it skirts a beautiful valley stretching away toward Berlin.
 Just across the hallway from the quarters of the Lieutenant on the sec
 ond floor of the castle, Count and
 Countess von Walderdorf have been allowed to remain by courtesy of army officers. But the Germans keep to themselves, looking upon the Americans as invaders, and an army -fraternizatio order prohibits Lieutenant Scott from visiting them. On the first floor of the castle fifty American soldiers have their beds and mess and a large living room where they play cards and enjoy each others company during the long win
 ter evenings and tell of their war ex- . periences, and of all the wonderful things they intend to do when they
 get home again. Lieutenant Scott sper1s his evenings, alone, devouring
 book after book.
 Visitors are few at this furthermost
 outpost across the Rhine twenty
 miles from Coblenz. During the day the Lieutenant makes his rounds visiting one sentinel after another, always alone. At the foot of the hill crowned by the castle of Nolsberg is the village of Nolsberg of which . r mander, but he talks to the towns people only on questions of business. And so, day after day, the Lieutenant
 meets no one excepting, his soldiers and the civilians on routine matters
 of the day.
 The meals of this IoneIiest of Americans are served in his quarters
 where he dimes, alone. with giddy green warrior tapestry figures gazing
 down upon him from their places on
 the walls just where they were hung something like three hundred years ago. The figures of one panel picture
 a gay and jolly party and all the others suggest companionship in some form.
 The officer has a telephone which reaches to MOntabaUr, the First Divi- sion headquarters but its use is re- stricted to business only. There are other conveniences too including cleo tric light and running water and a.
 wonderful stove reaching halfway to
 the ceiling and at the bottom the old
 German makers name and the date l764. But to the lonely Lieutenant
 even the fire in the stove sometimes seems almost cold.
 Lieutenant Scott's nearest Ameri-
 can officer neighbOr is five or six miles away out across the eight thou
 sand acres owned by the Count. Af-
 ter dark visits are out of the ques-
 ton. And so when overcome by lone someness. and weariness from read ing, the Lieutenant tumbles into a seventeenth century bed which stands in the same position it has been all these years And within easy reach is the telephone by which he knows
 eventually will come the welcome news for which so long he has been longing We've been ordered home!'

AIRPI,ANE is WRECKED.
Accident in Springfield (vt), But No
body Is Hurt-Struck Air Pocket
After Rising zoo Feet.

Upon striking an air pocket Saturday
afternoon the airplane with which En-
sign Il. A. Terhunc of Swampscott,
Mass, made exhibition flights in Spring
field July 4 was forced to earth with
Aviator T.. II. Parkin and n passenger,
Harry r. Latin of that place, who was
making flight with him. The machine
was wrecked, but no one was hurt be-
yond a few scratches.
Ensign T.. A. Terhune had been taking
passengers up all the morning, the first
being no less than the distinguished
artic explorer Russell w. Porter, who
had been in the far north II times, once
or twice with Perry, and has survived
many hairbreadth experiences. The Sec
ond was Mrs. Walter w. Slack, wife of
the head of Gilman & Sons and chair
man of the Fourth of July committee.
Then G.. F. Sanderson, superintendent
of the Colonial Power & Light company
took flight, and at this time Lieut..
T. II. Parker, who had been sent from
Boston, arrived on the grounds to re-
licve Ensign Tcrhunc, who was getting
worn out with all that he had been
through in his hard trip of the previous
day
Lieutenant Parker is n military avia-
tor of excellent record, and the fact that
the accident occurred on his fight in
no way reflects on his skill. Harry u
Latin, secretary to Hon. James Hart
ness, was his passenger, and when they
were about 200 feet from the ground
they struck an air pocket-a dead spot
made by meeting of two different cur.
rents through which the machine
would not rise. Next an extra violent
downward current caught them and
forced the machine to earth.
Although strapped in>their seats, both
men were thrown out, and Mr.. Latin
never knew what happened until he re.
vived on the ground The plane was
broken in two just behind the real
cockpit; the propeller was broken and
both wings were smashed. 1t was in.
sured for all that it was worth and goes
to the scrap heap.
Had they not been so near the earth
Lieutenant Parker is confident that he
could have worked out of the current
without coming down, and no accident
would have occurred.
The airmen left for Boston and
Swampscott Sunday by the prosaic but
substantial earth surface line of the
Poston & Maine.
