confess to being a convert. For seveial years after finishing my col?
lege and professional training and entering the ministry I was an anti.
The suf.r-.f7e movement is srrply one expression of the modern fight
for political and industrial democracy. It is one of the last of the long
series of battles tor the complete emancipation of mankind. In the case
of thil tight, as in the case of every tight for an extension of democracy,
the foes to be foi'ght and overcome are those of ignorance, prejudice
and selfishness. If it xvere a mitter of convincing people by rational
argument, worn ?n suffrage would have xxicn out long since, but this, like
every democrat!; reform, involves a surrender oi privilege, widening of
viewpoint, overthrow of traditions and customs. Hence the bitterness
of the fight and the postponement of victory. Nothing, however, in the
long run. can stop progr?s?, the progress of democracy, and nothing,
in the long run. can stop the triumph of woman suffrage.
Indeed, in view of what hns been accomplished in the last five or
six vejara, I am persuaded that the tight for woman suffrage will be
practically completed in this country long before other and dearly
sought causes of democrr:y are carried through. We advocates of
woman .uftrat-e may be of good cheer. Victory is already at hand.

treaty obligations to Serbia. Then
Greece's decision to abandon her ally
had completely alteret! the situation,
xvhila a substitute plan of action ha?i
not yet been determined on, except in
general terms, by the Allies. Such B
plan, t.ord LaUBdoWBS said, depended
on th? report of (ieneral Monro, the

of the relief force believed before to

river islet of Dalen there are two vll- ?
luges, which at the present moment are
of primary importance in the struggle
for Riga. One, Repe, two and a half
mile, south of Dalen, is in Getman ,
hand?, while the other, Klange, on the
bank of the river, i? held by the Rus
?ians.
The Germans here are trying to
force theiy way to the l?let of Dalen,
i so a. to command the railway leading
to Riga. The Russian? at Klange are
rr-.-ting this move tl inly an the left >
bank and maintaining a tierce fir? i
against the German impetus. In case!
their attempt should fail here, the Ger- !
man? are ready to take ad*.antage of
any opportunity that may offer itself
I at Olai, farther west. Again, to ?>eeure |
' the.r flank they are keeping us a pretty
stead) artillery tire near Shlok
Bat 'he main struggle Is ?round .
Dalen, and on the left bank of the river ;
south of the railway station at I'ex
kuell. which lies eighteen miles south- '
? east of Riga, on the Dvina, six desper?
ate attacks of the Germans were beaten
off by the Russian infantry and artil
Iciy.
It is not worth svhile discussing the
theory whether the Riga operation ?s |
. demonstration mtemled to divert at
: tention from Dvinsk. The Germans
want Riga very badly and are trying
their harden to get it. If, in the mean?
time, the operation serves the pulp?se
i of a diversion, that svould be to the
advantage of their . tmtegy.
Hut the RassiSBS, while firmly re
fisting at Riga, show no signs of al?
lowing themselves to be diverted from
Dvinsk. where the Hermans have again
brought up reinforcements and annul- '
1 nition. and have rer.c-sved their at?
tacks. They have succeeded in 8_-|
tablishing themselve? in the blackened j
ruin? of Illoukst, twelve mile, north- !
we?t of Dvinsk. They will iirobably
try to force -the Dvina here, but con- i
ditions are not wholly In thetr favor, i
| The RassiaaS hBve the advantage of an i
I ample cover in the shape of a forest
! ? -tending between Illoukst and Dvinsk.
j and on the edge of t'u? forest they
have already clucked ?lie Germ?n, ad
i vanee. If, toto, th?' Germans ?hould
? come to the river, th?-;, would be ex- ,
Meed to a terrible Russian Are. The '
! Russian? are, moreover, steadily main- '
taming a counter mstMBB-TS to the,
I south of Dvinsk. Here the capture of
e_.h obscuic village may be uinm
nortant in itself, but in their sum the?e
capture? denotf th?- laeioteat approach
of the Russian? to the railway on which
the whole German operation againat
Dvlr.sk is absolutely dependent.
The haste, of the German? to force
the Dr?as is now intelligible. Snow
is falling and \< inter la -ftting in early.

Iaord Lorehiirn aske?i whether th?i
nispatch of troops to Sal-mica had
been determined upon? xvith the ap?
proval of the naval ami military
i.dvisers and whether the govern?
ment could give assurance that full
provision had baa made fur the
communications of this force and for
its supply of men and material t??
the satisfaction of the naval and
military experts. I.onl l.oreburn
?ni?i he understood the government's
dciire that the matter should not be
debated at the presert time, but
pointed out that there .mis a reason
for asking the question.
"We are disappointed in the Dar?
