Annapolis, Md, Jan. 13.-Whilc leaders

here on the trail of the legislators, there
is little or no hope for securing ratihcatlon

arden Eastern Shore advocate OF votes
for women, will do his best to put their
cause across, but he realizes that the
outlook is not very encouraging. III the
amendment gets eight votes IN the Senate
its opponents will be surprised. Many
Democratic leaders are unalterably op-
posed to it because il would give thousands
of colored women the right OF franchise

that would jcopardize Democratic sue

announced their Intention to vote against
the amendment. ,

Seen Through

AN ENGLISH WIFE IN BERLIN. The
Diary Of Evelyn. Princess Blucher

Diary Of Evelyn. Princess Blucher
f. p. Dutton & Co.
The diary of Evelyn, Princess Butcher,
which is now published in this country,
covers the period from August, 1914,
to February. 1919. The diarist is an
English woman who was married In
1907 to the great-grandson OF the ia
nous Marshal OF Waterloo. It's pub
lication in this country has been pre-
coded by reports OF it's sensational sue
cess in London. The reality Of this
success is very much in doubt when
the book is contrasted with the impor-
tant revelations Of people high in Ger
man counsels that have already ap-
peared
The diary has the very real merit Of
presenting an unconscious portrait OF
a woman torn between two different
compelling loves-for her land OF birth
and her land Of adoption. The I'M
portance OF what Princess Butcher has
to say is slightly initiated against by
the fact that as a woman of English
birth she was, TO a great many people,
not one to be trusted with intimate and
definite information.
There are vivid word pictures OF
Berlin In the tempestuously patriotic
days OF 1914: there is a good bit Of
cumulative evidence offered to show
that the masses OF the German people
were fooled by their ruling class there
are many interesting incidents re-
counted as. for example. the account
OF Princess Blucher's acquaintance
with Sir Roger Easement; but there are
omissions. There is good deal of in
terest in noting the failure OF the news
OF the first battle OF the Marine to
reach the German people.
