The question is sometimes a why the suffragists are not evam where combining with the National League for 'Woman's Service. The suffragists had a magnificent organi- zation ready for war service before the National League came into exist- of | ence. Both organizations occupy ex- actly the same position in resard to the government and in relation to the central committee appointed by the Washington government of which Dr. Anna . Shaw is chairman. In some places where the suffragists were not strongly organized, suffragists form the majority of the members of the local branches of the league, as they do aisp in many piaces of the local In other places, and fact in the sreater part of Con- necticut it was much more effective to use the suffrage organization and invite other women to join them in war service work. In other places again the suffragists form groups to work under neutral reagership. As regards war service work the suffra- gists are anxious to. cooperate with all other women who are interestsd in doing the same kind of work. At the same time suffragists everywhere are not iforgetting that the first call of patriotism is the completion of our democracy through woman suffrage. Senator ITrving H.
