Charleston, W. Va, March 1.-THE
West Virginia Legislature ratified the
federal suffrage amendment. Final
action on the amendment was taken
by the Senate in adopting the ratifica-
tion resolution of the House of Dele
gates by a vote of 10 to II.
The vote of Senator Jesse A. Bloch
from California to Charleston to vote
on the amendment, was effectual in
breaking the deadlock between pro
and anti-suffrage forces. Senator A.
Il. Montgomery was not permitted to
vote, his seat having been declared
vacant.
The final vote ON the Anthony
amendment was taken after one OF
the most dramatic sessions ever wit
messed in either house of the Legisla-
ture. For several hours suffrage lead

effort to gain definite advantage

across the continent for the occasion
Crowded galleries We're kept in or

the battle apparently swung in favor
of one side or the other. AT first oc
eupants of the galleries took more in
terest in Senator Bloch, who was re
garded as a considerable sensation by
the West yirginians
Shortly, however, interest in the sen
ator was thrown into the background
due to issues featuring the contest
These included the action of the Sen
ate in declaring vacant the seat O.
Senator A. H. Montgomery, deprivin,
him of the vote which would have de

luton of the lower house, withou
amending the Senate rules, one wcel

own resolution on the same subject.
Halls and corridors in the statehous,
were thronged with spectators, includ

wore yellow flowers as well as men
as Il token of their allegiance to tht
suffrage cause.
\ few minutes after adjournment
hundreds of men and women startet
a demonstration in the corridors, many
of them having concealed tin horni

Here is the authors comment on
the seating of the Japanese delega-
tion: ut was conceded on all hands
that Japan had long occupied the
place of a great power, both politi-
cally and in a military sense, but
Japan had never before entered the
council of the great powers on terms
of equality for the consideration
OF Europe's internal questions and
possibly later on. with voice as
to America"
And there is much food for
tive to the initial participation of
another country in the tangled af-
fairs of Europe:
This is the first time that Amer
lea had taken the direction in
councils of European powers on
affairs of distinctly European
character This is distinct
ly flattering to the personal pres
tige of the President, but back OF
the personal element is the stern
prospect that the United States has
now definitely embarked in the di-
rection and leadership OF European
internal questions" How Europe
felt about us, is made clear in an
incident which took place before
the arrival in Europe of the Presi-
dent. At a conference between
Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Col
onel House. the European states
men made 1T very plain that, the
war having been won, the time had
come for Europe to regulate its own
affairs. They were willing to con-
cede we had been OF assistance in
winning the war, put thought 1t
might be well IL the United States
return to her traditional policy OF
detachment from the internal af-
fairs of Europe. Despite such COM
plications as were due to the in
ternal disorders of Russia, the Ad-
riatic dispute, indemnities, and the
desire to partition the German CO.
lonial possessions, the President
succeeded in having the covenant
adopted by the council. History
records many leagues, finely adjust
ed balances of power of much
promise, but always a Brennus
cast his sword into the scale and
the resultant wars swept league or
alliance into occlusion. Whether
the League OF Nations can succeed
where history records the failure of
the Holy Alliance OF 1919, the AL
lance OF 1915, or the Three EN-
perors' League, remains to be de-
termined.
