' , ' we nave ettectea a consouaanon of the three great suffrage journals, and the first issue is due June 1. The name of the new paper is to be The 'Woman Citizen."' 1 Mrs. Livermore appealed to the men to' grant unlimited woman suff rage now, as a war' measure, saying: "The women need protection now when they go into the munition plants and into the big factories to produce the war supplies. We want protection for , the children also, in order that there may not be an increase of 30 per bent in juvenile crime as there has .been in England since the war be gan." Mrs. Draper Smith presided. Mrs. M. M. Claftin, Lincoln, -president of the Women's Christian Temperance union, gave her experience in march ing in the Wilson inaugural parade when she said, "Womanhood was out raged and decent manhood was out raged by the slurs hurled at us from .the crowds of men of the lower classes, negroes and white alike from , the sidewalk."

P.- Reynolds of the Central Labor union and of the State Federation of Labor, said the position of organized labor on the suffrage question had at no time been In doubt, and that organized labor had long - ago expressed itself as favorable to suffrage. A Mrs. W. E. Barclay, president of the State Woman Suffrage associa tion, urged the men, as a patriotic act now, not to force the women to spend their energies and money in a cam paign for suffrage in 1918, but rather to grant it to them that the energy and moral and spiritual force of the women might be expended in Red Cross- work, and other good move ments to alleviate the sufferings of the war instead'of on a campaign to . gain that which should be their right birth. .

V THE BEE: OMAHA,' MONDAY MORNING, MIRAGE INTERFERES 1 WITH MANEUVERING British Tjroops in Sinai Often Mystified Same as Sol diers of Joshua and s Alexander". Correipondenea of Tha Aaaoelatcd Praia.) Cairo, April 30. "Operations had to be temporarily suspended owing to a mirage," says an official communica tion from the Diala front, describing a minor strategic movement there It is a reminder Jhat. despite modern war inventions, there is" at least one front where world-old conditions still play a dominating part. Thirst, heat and mirage are among the most im portant factors to be considered in far-eastern campaigning, just as they were twenty centuries and more ago. Although the wny ana wnereiore 01 the mirage is better understood now than then, the British troops in Sinai and- Mesopotamia have frequently been held up, -and mystified by the vi sion of lakes and trees, just as were the soldiers of Joshua or Alexander. On the occasion referred to in the communication, the mirage was of minor character, preventing reliable reconnaissances, un a simitar occa sion some time aco. it produced the effect of the appearance of big Tur Jcish reinforcements which necessitat ed caution until their phantom char acter had been established. - Mirages seriously interfered with Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, and it was due to the investigations of a French scientist who accompanied that expedition that they were first 'raced t tricks of atmospheric refrac- tion. British Consular Service Will Be K Put on New Basis (Correipoitdmco of Tha Aaaoolatcd Praia.) London, May . The British dip lomatic and consular services seem likely to be completely reorganized after the war. Many of these pissts promise to be filled by ex-officers of the army or navy and the feeling seems to be growing that the chief qualification should be service in the war. , -'-., ... . At present these services are either, not operating at all, as, for instance, in enemy countries, or are at,Tiigh pressure and under abnormal condi tions, in the allied or neutral coun tries. With the close of the war there will be the big task ,of refilling the vacated embassies, legations and con sulates of the belligerent countries and to find new men to replace the overworked and harassed officials in the latter. Those who favor the infusion of pew energy into the diplomatic and consular services, after the war and who believe that the men who have offered up their lives on the firing line should be given preference advo cate starting preliminary training for them at once. There is a movement on foot to make preparations to draft a selection of officers into embassies and consulates without delay for im mediate service when the war ends. It is pointed out that there is al- ul a!arge .namb"rt unfit or dis abkd officers in the hospitals and rest carfips who cbuld, while recuperat ing, be given a preliminary1 test and if fc1 at'sfctory they could be the subjects needful to The diplomatic equipment.

Good German Text of . Shakespeare is Wanted (Corraapondeneo of Tha Asaoclated Praia.) Weimar, Germany, April 30. A call for a German poet who would give Germany a lasting and correct rendering of Shakespeare was made here at 'the annual meeting of the German Shakespeare society. Coun cillor Martersteig, director of the Leipzig theater, made the plea. He lamented the absence of good trans lations oft Shakespeare in Germany and said that he hoped that after the war a German rendering of Shakes peare's work would be allowed to il luminate the German stage as be-"j tore, as the irresistible C-erman spirit could not endure to be fed on Shakes peare during the war.

DATES FOR SHAYING ARE NOME THING Barber Win Makes Appoint ments With Customers Ap pears Down in Massa- r -chusetts. The patron loses a good deal of time in the barber shop, and this fact has. been recognized by a progressive member of the trade in Rockland, Mass. This ornament of his crak has given his shop and village a place in the sun by proposing that barbers make appointments with their patrons, just as do doctors and physicians. . The idea is excellent on paper, and many a man who depends on a barber to shave him, would rejoice if it could be be realized. It also might; as the Rockland man believes, increase business for barbers, helping them to withstand the onslaughts of that mod ern plague of the trade, the safety razor. A Question is. however, wheth er the barbers would ktep their ap Scarcity of Implements May Bes Bad Hindrance Manufacturers Unable to Se cure Metal for the Produc tion of Some Necessary Articles, : "There are probably n&t a dozen two-row corn drills on" the open mar ket in the state of Nebraska at this time," says. Prof. L. W. Chase, head of the department of agricultural en gineering at the University of Ne braska. C He remarked jokingly that nsnv is the. time to corner them and make a fortune. .. "Two-row corn arillsr however," he says, "are, not the only farm imple ments lacking at this time. All ma chinery is scarce, and , some of . it absolutely unobtainable'." .

The reason is because manufacturers are unable to obtain materials, such as steel and iron, the output and manufacture of which is now under the direct supervision of the federal government. "Finding themselves unable to ob tain metals with which to make clows. cultivators and other implements the manufacturers then resorted to wood, reverting to primitive methods.

American Raisin is " Popular in England (Correspondence ot Ttoe Associated Pres..) London, May 13. The American raisin is now attracting attention in England. The food experts are telling the people what good food it nv and are agitating for its removal from the list of prohibited imports. Official fig ures are given to show that one pound of California- raisins is equal in nourishment and body-building quali fies to one and three-quarters pound of beef.four pounds of potatoes, four pounds' of milk, four and'three-quar-ter pounds of fish, six pounds of ap ples, or two pounds of eggs. Bee Want Ads Produce Results. to Work on Farms "Out overClhe state the farmers have anticipated the shortage by pur chasing quantities of machinery months before needed and that is why there are so few corn drills on the market. The scracjty of new ma chinery will result in hundreds of dis carded implements that have been al lowed to rust in the weather, being put to use again." , May Be a Drawback. ' . This shortage of farm implements is looked upon as just one more of the many drawbacks already in sight to- the growing and : Harvesting of a bumper crop, so badly needed this year on account of the world war into which the United States has at last been dragged along with the rest of the civiltied world. For some years farmers have been complaining of in creases in the price of farm machinery, and it is now possible hey will have to pay more for machinery than ever. Implement men point out, however, that even though implements have gone up a little they have by no means kept pace with the rapid ad vance in the price of other products and particularly not with the phenomi nal rise in the market price of the pro-, ducts of the farm which are grown and harvested with these implements.
