When I talked with, Mrs. Austin yesterday, just before her departure for her California home, she told me frankly that she believes | the young woman voter quite the most interesting item in the political | sum of to-day, the most bri “Our young be going away to fight,” dirs. Austin pointed out, “and ft is fh the hands of our young women that the soldiers must leave the country, for I believe that tn a) very short time women will be vot-| ing everywhere in America, To us| now opeus the greatest opportunity | fn the world, the opportunity to| make democracy at once spiritual | and practical.
