"The people of all countries now have
learned foreign affairs are their vital
concern and are demanding. with ever
increasing iusistence. that international
obligations be not contracted behind
their hack,
Their eyes. have been opened to the
necessity Of cooperation between all
nations but they insist this cooperation

Another and more important result
we may hope for Is that the habit of
mutual confidence will automatically
cause ornaments to disappear"

PLAN WORLD
TRADE CONFAB
Conference to Discuss Means
of StabiIizing Exchange.

] WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Four big
problems of industrial finance are await
ing discussion by world conference of
bankers and business men proposed by
"a committee of noted Americans, headed
/ by ]. P Morgan.
4 Government officials. who displayed
skeen interest today in the proposed con-
3ference, outlined the four problems thus
Re-establishment of the currency of the
lformer bel1igerent countries on a strictly
gold basis.
Setting up an international clearing
house.
Stabillzing the relations between gold
and silver exchange.
Establishing commodity standard for

All of the questions are intimately con-
ynected with the world problem of high
lcost Of living, officials said. and with the
squestion of taxation, International COM
merce, unemployment, trade balances and
International credits.

throughout the state by means Of what
were known as the rainbow fiers.'
'In 1917. Mrs. Richard F.. Edwards
of Peru was elected president and the
hea duuarters were moved to Peru. The
presidential suffrage bill OF 1917 had
just been passed, and the immediate
work of the league S4yas the registration
of women for the expected vote This
was accomplished with surprising Sue
cess. As "a result not only the ardent
suffragists, but all of the women who
had registered, were indignant when,
later, theA bill was declared unconstitu-
tional. The women went into the or
ganization work with undaunted cour-
age, however, and started again to build
for the success which followed two years
later when the 1919 legislature passed
every suffrage measure submitted to 1t,
with a large majority vote, before the
session was half finished.
NThree hundred league were or
ganized in the state, 200 of them in less
than two years. District chairmen
were appointed for every district, and
every county was organized. Indiana
came to the front In the national or
ganization as one Of the important suf-
frage states and one of the best organ
lied The amount of work that has
been done even since suffrage has be-
come a popular cause has been enor-
nous. although the moral courage
needed has not been so great as in the
DAYS Of the pioneers. But the culmi-
mating effort Of the campaign, under
Mrs. Edwards's presidency, and this
year, under the leadership Of Miss
Helen Benbridge, has been a tremen-
dous work.
1T is fitting that Miss Benbridge
should be president of the organization
at the moment of victory, as she has
been the most consistent and ardent
suffrage worker in the state through
out the present period of the history Of
suffrage AS organization chairman OF
the lea que she made her way into dis
tricts that had never heard Of suffrage,
and by her winning smile, good humor
and ready wit, she made friends for the
cause and friends for herself. As presi-
dent of the league her sane judgment,
political sagacity and absolute fairness
have been telling factors in the final
success"

HISTORY OF INDIANA .
SUFFRAGE FIGHT

The long fight in Indiana for suffrage,
which was placed before the state leg
islature today, is related in a statement
issued today from the headquarters of
the Indianapolis Woman's Franchise
league. 1t is as follows:
Suffrage history in Indiana divides
itself naturally into four periods The
first period, the period Of the first pio-
neers has one outstanding figure. Mrs.
Zerelda Wallace mother Of the author of
Ben Hur.' She became a figure of ma
tional prominence, and gathered around
her in a small group of believers in the
cause she represented, even in that early
day.
Early In the history Of suffrage in
the state, too, was George Julian, who,
as representative from Indiana, intro
duced the first suffrage resolution in
congress.
Indiana was first again in suffrage
when in the early sos the first state
suffrage organization of the United
States was organized In this state.
1.-THE indianapolis Suffrage society in
1872 was the first local organization
Capt. and Mrs. Horace Mckay and Miss
Laura Donnan were the organizers OF
this society Other members included

prominent business man and member of
the firm of Stanley, Harlow Hamlin,
was testifying, got away with Mr.: Har-
lows fur hat.
Believing himself secure before the
court, Mr.. Harlow, before going to the
witness stand Invested himself Of hat

rick until he bought himself new head

Jazz Satan's Music,
Minister Declares

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 49,
Satanic and diabolical music" was what
Rev. James H. Quinn of st. Mary's
church called the jazz playing of Provi-
dence orchestra hired to play in local
dance hall. He said complaints had been
made 1Eeferring to the orchestra as play
ing Anmoral, unfit and devilish music,
and added:
,eThese immoral wretches, after the d.
vision of the spells, would leave the city,
having made an evening of debauch for
the young people of Fall River"
Father Quinn said that he had been
successful in having barred this dance,
which was to have been held in a hall in
his own parish, near the church itself.
He took the matter up with the police
shd the orchestra was indefinitely barred
fEom the city. II
