FIRST WAR INSURANCE TO GRESHAM'S MOTHER Evansville Widow Only Depend ent of First Three U. S. Soldiers Killed WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. Mrs. Alice Dodd, of Evansville, Ind., widowed mother of Private James B. Gres ham, who was killed In tho recent engage ment between American soldiers and Ger mans In France; will bo the first dependent of a soldier to receive an lncomo under the war Insurance atft. Secretary McAdoo an nounced today that the returns on tho first casualties at tho front are Incomplete and unofficial, but so far Mrs. Dodd Is tho only dependent left by any of the three soldiers who were killed. No available records show any dependent of Thomas P. Enrlght, Pittsburgh, and Merle D. Hay, Glldden, la. Mrs. Dodd, as the widowed mother and solo beneficiary of a soldier, will receive at least $45 a month, $20 a month as straight pay and $25 a month as Insurance.

Have you found your polling place? Formed your political opinions? Now's tho time, for, flushed with the vic tory of the New York suffragists, Phila delphia leaders predict that the time Is nigh for your enfranchisement, as it is righ for the enfranchisement of every woman In the country. With the landslide suffrage vote in New York the climax of tho women' tight In this country for the ballot lias been pised. Nothing remain? to bo told cf that story, suffragists assert, but tho last chapter the gathering up of tho loose ends of which Pennsylvania is one These loose ends, it Is tho consensus of opinion, will be gath ered up by the Klxty-fifth Congress, which convene.

It's been a thriller, tills talp of ihc Amer ican woman's Indomitable strURglo for po litical enfranchisement in the face of almost Insuperable obstacles. It started with tho efforts of hardy pioneer women who faced ridicule and social ostracism in order to gather recruits. Slowly and painfully the work of Susan n.

PENNSYLVANIA LOOKS TO CONGRESS What effect will the New York victory have on the women of Pennsylvania? That was tho question I asked some of tho Philadelphia leaders. "I'll tell you exactly what Is going to happen," Mrs. George A. Dunning, chair man of tho city party, replied with convic tion. "We nre all going to vote very, very soon. Nothing can keep us from it. When Congress convenes you will see. "The New York women put over the mopt glorious campaign that has even been put over by any body of workers. It was a magnificent spcctaclo to watch women of alt classes working In perfect unison with a single dominating motive. Tho Justice of our uemana maue tlielr work worth while. And what they have done nnd won has been not only for themselves, but for every unenfranchised woman in the country. "I do not believe that we shall have to wait for Pennsylvania to enfranchise us.

"The New Yoik women woiked together," slio continued : "that Is their secret. It they have any. As Mrs. Carrie Chnp'inaii Catt said, 'The enemy knows the difference be tween a hollow and a solid square.' Their square was solid. Women with millions worked sldo by side with women who hadn't a penny to call tlielr own. They had a great fine organization. There were not various little clubs or cliques or 'sets' nil working Individually and Ineffectually. "New York will bring a tremendous In fluence to bear on Congress to take a suf frage vote.

Tho figures show that a majority cf 100.000 were against suffrage." It was pointed out to Mrs. White that sho must liaxo misread, or read an early edition of last night. "I have seen tho S o'clock edition," she answered, "the figures tell tho truth." Tlie figures of the C o'clock edition show 438,320 for suffrage and 380,811 against.
