WHAT GERMAN PLANNED.

During the war Ambassador PAGE
was given a letter that had been
written by an English woman who
had married a German and had
absorbed the Prussian Idea. The fol-
lowing is an extract:
England is, after all, only a step
ping stone. From Liverpool. Queens
town, Glasgow, Belfast, we shall reach
out across the ocean. ! firmly believe
that within year Germany will have
seized the new canal and proclaimed
its defiance of the great Monroe
Doctrine. We have six million Ger
mans In the United States, and the
lrish-Americans behind them. The
Americans, believe me, are, as n ma
ton. cowardly nation. and will never
fight organized strength except i'm de-
fense of their own territories. With
Nova Scotian Peninsula and the Ber-
mudas. with the West Indies and the
Guianas, we shall be able to dominate
the Americas. BY our possession of
the entire Western European seaboard
America can find no outlet for IT'S
products except by our favor. Her
finance is in German hands, her com
meroial capitals. New York and Chi
cago. are in reality German cities. II
is some years since my father and /
were in New York. But my opinion is
not very different from that of the
forceful men who have planned this
war-that with Britain as base the
control Of the American continent Is
under existing conditions the task of
a couple of months. Worlds Work
for December.

ders has been kind enough to send us
Information regarding the plans and
purposes OF this League, of which
she is the active president. The fol-
lowing should be OF interest to our

.sThe Mississippi League of Women
Vovers was organized In Gulfport In
April 1920 for the purpose OF foster
ing education In citizenship and Sc
curing improved legislation
Since it's organization, the State
League has grown steadily, now
having twenty AFFILIATED local lea
gues.
The work done thus far by the
State League has been devoted large
ly to publicity articles in the county
papers, urging women to register
and vote and to holding practical
schools OF citizenship In those towns
deserving such schools.
In September q trained organizer,
sent out from the National League,
will come to Mississippi to visit all Of
the counties to organize County
Leagues OF Women Voters and to
give the women OF our state plans

IF At the next session of the Legisla-
ture the State League OF Women
Voters will work for certain meas
.ures, such as taking the state insti-
tutions OF higher education out of

All OF our thoughtful women are
interested In such measures as these
and In becoming better trained citi-
sens, and may be expected to coop
crate with the State League.
