As the British election campaign Progresses, reports from many parts of the country emphasize the accu- racy of one prediction made at the outset—that the women would take a | bigger part than ever before. Not only are the 41 woman parlia- mentary candidates drawing big au- diences, but the wives, daughters and sters of the male candldates are king to the platform in their be- half with great success, while the various political organizations are finding it difficult in some case to employ all the woman volunteers anx- fous to join in the fght. In some populous constituencies, woman helpers have been sent out in batches of 50 or more for canvassing tours, calling at every house until the whole constituency is covered. The audiences at wmany political meetings contain & large percentage of women, who sometimes outnumber the men. This has been noted gspe- clally in Plymouth, in one district of which Lady Astor is conducting a lively campaign for re-election. e Seaplane Fall Fatal. Ensign Willlam A.
