A QUESTION OF DEMOCRACY
dl
Thinks It Demanded By Issues Of
War——Addresses New York Dele-
gation In Names Of Party
and Himself,
Washington. — President Wilson
gave full indorsement to woman suf.
frage as an immediate issue in every
state,
Addressing a delegation of 100 lead-
ers of the New York State Woman
Suffrage Party, who called at the
White House to obtain an expression
in support of the campaign in that
State, the President in emphatic terms
declared that woman suffrage is one
of the fundamental questions of demo-
cracy whose proper settlement is de-
manded by the issues of the war. He
praised the spirit, capacity and vision
of American women in the war.
“1 believe,” he said, ‘that just be-
cause we are quickened by the ques-
tions of this war we ought to be quick:
ened to give this question of woman
suffrage our immediate consideration.”
Speaking as “one of the spokesmen
of a great party,” the President
pledged his hearty support and added:
“lI want to speak for myself, and say
that it seems me that this is the
time for the states of this union to
take" this action.”
Explaining his leaning toward suf
frage as a state rather than national
issue, he said:
“1 perhaps may be touched a little
too much by the traditions of our poli-
tics—traditions which lay
tions almost entirely upon
but I want to see communities declare
themselves quickened at this time and
show the consequences of the quicken-
ing.”

Farming Without Hands.
London Tit Bits tells this story. Jean
Ledrans, a French peasant, was mo
bilized ut the outbreak of war in the
artillery. Being known as an expert
grenadier, he was chosen to train ree
cruits in bombing. While giving in-
struction, a grenade he held burst,
killed six men, snd wounded Ledrans
in five places. He lost his right eve
and both his hands were blown off.
Immediately after his recovery, the
peasant girl to whom he had been en-
gaged married him, and he settled on
his fatherin-daw’s farm. This brave
son of France, who lost his hands a
little over a year ago, is now able to
write perfectly well, to drive a horse
and cart, drive a plow, hoe and dig in
the fields, and harness and unharoness
a horse. All the appliances which he
uses on both stumps of his forearms
have been devised by himself,
