- EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES 
At this time the men and women 
of our country are thinking with sor- 
row of the European war, with all its 
horrors. Especially are the women 
shocked and distressed that five or six 
“civilized” nations, in our modern 
day, are engaged in this “ancient bar- 
barity.” Suffragist papers and speak- 
ers are calling attention to the fact 
that the women have not been con- 
sulted, as to these wars, though they 
must be, in the long run, the chief 
sufferers; women must even go to the 
wars as Red Cross Nurses; and in 
many cases they must pay the taxes 
of war. Aside from the cruel injust- 
ice of this, we believe that if the wo- 
men had been consulted it would be 
a very different story. All fine Hoth: 
ers, and all women with mother- 
hearts, would vote against war, if 
they had a choice in national matters. 
We believe with the late Baroness 
von Sutner (who won the Nobel 
Peace Prize) that when we have a 
universal woman suffrage wars will 
cease. 
Our suffrage workers, like all other 
Americans, will feel the mental and 
financial depression of this bad time, 
and the movement may suffer some 
delay,—for war, whether foreign or 
domestic, always interrupts progress. 
But on the other hand, we urge with 
all earnestness that to get the women 
of all these United States voting, as 
soon as possible, will be one of the 
best ways to save our country from 
another war. 
We also call attention to the news 
that the Militant Suffragettes in Eng- 
land have announced that they will 
cease militancy at this time. (A fact 
of which the papers have taken little 
notice.) ‘And we American Suffra- 
gists urge that all American women 
and men shall be non-militant at this 
time of crisis,—and at all times!

MANCHESTER EQUAL SUFFRAGE 
LEAGUE 
Members of the league and all 
other Suffragists in Manchester are 
reminded that Saturday, August 15, 
is being observed as Lucy Stone’s 
birthday, or ‘Sacrifice Day,’ when 
all suffragists in this country are ask- 
ed to make some self-denial offering 
for the cause. Especially, the Nation- 
paign Comm.) Hull House, Chicago, 
an appeal for the “melting pot,” which 
means that every woman suffragist 
is urged to send some article of gold 
or silver, (her personal property), 
however small or however hard to 
part with, to swell the great offering. 
These articles may be sent directly to 
Miss Jane Addams (Treasurer Cam- 
paign Comm.) Hall House, Chicago, 
Ill. With Miss Addams’ indorsement, 
this plan needs no further comment. 
The committee will also accept mon- 
ey, of course, but they explain that — 
“women in general do not handle 
much money”; also it is thought that 
the personal offering means more. 
Further information may be obtained 
from Miss Louie R. Stanwood, Man- 
chester. 
It has been found impossible for 
the Manchester league to hold a meet- 
ing on the 15th. But there will be a 
meeting at Mrs. Leach’s Tea Room 
on Monday evening, August 17, at 8 
o'clock, to which all who are inter- 
ested are cordially invited. At this 
meeting the new Manchester mite- 
boxes will be on sale, with other Suf- 
rage novelties and literature. These 
mite-boxes, etc., may also be found 
at the Tea Room on and after Aug. 
15. 
The League will also co-operate ‘n 
helping v. ith Mr . Farry Russell's big 
suffrage rally on Friday, Aug. 28. 
Through the efforts of the state of- 
ficials, Manchester is using a power 
spraying machine, equipped with 
1.000 feet of hose and available in 
fighting forest fires and in other 
work. The machine is ten-horse pow- 
er and is a valuable adjunct to the 
fire department. Other sprayers have 
been loaned to Beverly and Essex. 
This is the apparatus used in connec- 
tion with moth work along the North 
Shore.
