WHETHER WOMEN
SHOULD PROPOSE
-
Leap "Year Draws Forth Rapid
'Fire of Comment on Age- s
Old Question in
Society.
Of course women should have the
right to propose..Thy should have
that right not only during leap year,
but in any other year. Having that
right, or maintaining tat tliey have
it, it is more likely than not that
i their march toward .the new free
dom will win full recognition of the
ew plank in their platform.
. These are some of the conclusions
from the discussions of leap 'ye'ar
'With which the year 1920 has
opened in London.
- The Evening News "views it with
alarmi"
"Since last year," says the News,
"women Have acquired the vote,
women have been made into J. P.'s
and a woman sits in Parliament.
"VVjll the emancipated sex make
; a combined onslaught on the more
valuable of man's remaining prerog
atives and leave him nothing but
the second that of paying jointly
incurred bills?"
The paragraph, possibly, was
written by a mere man. .
Female Testimony Differs.-
The testimony, of the women on
the right , of proposing differs with
the interviewed.
"Nowadays men seem "to be so
shy that it wifl become necessary,"
says Miss Shirley Kellogg,- mu
sical comedy star ' and wife of
Albert DeCourville, the producer.
"But shy men make the bestvhus
bands." "Certainly not." says "Olivette," a
women writer. "For women it dis
poses of all the romSnce of mar
riage and rbs them of their most
effective taunt. 'Well YOU chose
me, old dear.' "
And front Miss Rosamund Smith,
treasurer of the Society for-Equal
Citizenship:
-"Many vomen will feel different
about proposing, but there is no
reason why a wemian should not
'put the question.'
Aather Unfair Now.
'It is rather unfair that men
should always suffer the humiliation
of being refused."
"There .should be an equality be
tween men and women' says Miss
Underwood, secretary of the Wom
en's Freedom League, "and as
women are becoming more and
more independent economically,
why should not they propose and

BRILLIANT
VICTIM OF
Rev. Dudley B. A s h f o r d,
Noted Preacher and Lec
turer, Well Known on
Three Continents, Was Or
dered To Give Up Work.
Reverend Dudley B. Ashford is
en extraordinary , man. Although
still on the sunny side of forty, fie
- has crowded more service to hu-
manity into a few years than most
men accomplish in a life-time.
Soon after his graduation from
Harley College, London, England,
he was ordained minister at the fa
mous New Court Congregational
church, London. A short time there
after he was selected to present the
cause of Congo Reform, and Afri
can Missions before the. people of
"Norway, and toured that land with
such success .that he was-greeted
hy enormous crowds at every meet
ing - .
In 1908, under the auspices of
the Colonial Missionary Society, he
was sent to New Zealand and for
three years labored as a mission
ary among the Maoris, where his
experiences were novel and "thrill
ing. In 1916 he returned to England
nnd served for three, years at Wood
Street Congregational church, Car
diff, South Wales, the biggest Con
gregational church in the British
Empire. It was while hera, that he
fell one of the early victims of the
great 1918 flu epidemic, an attack
from, which he had not fully re-'
covered when he accepted a call to
Jrt'SS te?J?SWt
church, St. John's, Newfoundland,
where his forceful preaching soon
, attracted record congregations.
The strain of this work upon his
undermined constitution proved too
severe and he suffered a nervous
breakdown, from which now, how
aver, he has completely recovered.
Jtfoved by a desire to serve his fel-
low men, he has recently written a
letter that tells how he was re
- stored to heaUh and strength.
Mored By Gratitude.
This letter, addressed to The Tari
lac Co., Atlanta, Oa., is an eloquent
expression of gratitude and is as
follows:
"Gentlemen: Your medicine,
known as 'Tanlac,' has been such
- an inestimable blessing to me that
I feel constrained to write and tell
you so. In October, 1918, while a
minister, of the Wood Street Con
gregational church, Cardiff, South
Wales, I had a severe attack of the
Spanish influenza,-from the effects
. of which I never fully recovered. I
lost twenty-eight pounds in weight
and was unable to recover my usual
energy.
"Then, in February, 1919, I be
came the -minister, of the Queen's
Road Congregational church r.t St
John's, Newfoundland. My minis
try was attended with great cue
cess, but the strain- proved, too great
for me and I had a serious break
down. My nerves seemed to go all
to pieces and -my digestion became
so deranged that I could eat scarce
ly anything. My heart gave me a
tot of trouble; it was an effort to.

"Certainly not?" says the Hon.
Mrs. Dennis Wyndham, daughter of
Lord Incheape and a well-known
film actress. "If a man bad any gal
lantry tie could not refuse u a
woman proposed to him, and a mar
riage binder such circumstances
could .onlv lead to disaster."
' Up to the Women.
Mrs. Gertie Wentworth-James,
the authoress, wins for original
mental research into the subject.
"Women whj) do men's Jiwrk,"
She says, "and earnmen's incomes,
should have men's privileges. There
fore, if they, wish 'to propose they
shoulifdo.so. i
"All the same, if a man wants a
woman he will ask her. If he
doesn't is there any satisfaction in
trying to make him think he does
by . suggesting that he should be
come her husband?
."Also, the flattering pleasure of
being wanted is surejy one of the
great compensations for x being a
woman and if we propose we miss
all those sweet assurances which are
as much a feminine need as choco
lates, silk stockings and scent."

New York, Feb. 29. If there is

Predictions of Lord Fisher, Admiral of English Fleet,
- Coming True English Are Warned That Present
, Fleet Will Be Worthless in hort Time Inven
. tions Must Stop or Next War Will. End Mankind.
By CHED WORTH PAINE.
Wha Predlcte That the Naviea ef the Fa
tore wfll Conal.t ef Strange Flying
- and Diving Ship.
In 1868 Admiral of the Fleet Lord
Fisher, then a young lieutenant, sent
to his commodore a reasoned state7
ment proving conclusively "that
masts and sails were damned as the
motive power of warships."
The memorandum was printed
and circulated and was immediately
condemned by all the "stick-and-
string" admirals. Lord Fisher -was
solemnly rebuked by the first, sea
lord of that day.
It must have been nearly 40 years
afterward that, while-sailing about
the English channel, I encountered
the training squadron in which the
young hopefuls of the royal navy
were still being instructed in the use
of ntests and sails.
Foresaw Submarine Menace.
In January, 1914, Lord Fisher, al
most the only fighting man in any
country during the period of the
great war to whom the word
"genius" can be applied, wrote a
memorandum demonstrating thel
auumiai ic menace.
- He had drafted similar statements
so far back as 1903 and 1904. It is
absurd to call them prophecies.
They were the product of brains and
vision.
JLord Fisher's paper remained se
cret, but on June 4, 1914. Admiral
Sir Percy Scott wrote a letter to the
press about submarines in which he
said among other thingthat "sub
marines and aircraft have entirely
-revolutionized naval warfare." He
was instantly derided y five ad
mirals, a host of other "experts"
and innumerable newspapers. No
one ventures to deride Lord Fish
er and Sir Percy Scott today.
British Fleet Obsolete.
Within the last month these two
great seamen have publicly warned
the nation that our present fleet is
obsolete. . x s ,
Lord Fisher insists that the war
has shown us that Britain is on the
verge of a far greater revolution in
naval warfare than was caused by
the intrtfduction of steam. The war
ship of the future must be able to
get under the water out of the way
of aircraft
Sir Percy Scott maintains that the
surface battleship is practically dead.
She can be destroyed by aerial tor.
pedOes launched from the air.
- In spite of all the lessons of the
last five years, these declarations
have caused another outburst of in
credulity. How slow-witted we are,
while centuries thunder past us in a
year.
The Coming Wonder-Ship.
The coming warship will be able
to dive, to skim the surface of the
sea at almost incredible speed and
to fly. Already we have craft which"
can move on the waters at the rate
of 71 miles an hour. v
The germ of the new vessel is dis
cernible in- those Wonderful little
skimming craft, furnished with to)y
nedoes, which wrought such havoc
in the bolshevist squadron at Kron
stadt not lnS a-
ihey are small today, out tney
will grow.' Nowadays both guns
and new types, of warships rapidly
increase in size. As soon as a fresh
kind of shio is a success the con
structors get to work and buitd big
ger ones, v '
Look at the steady process of evo
lution which followed the introduc
tion of the "first tiny torpedo boats.
Look at the way submarines grew in
size and armanent during the war.
These new warships will have
wings which will fold against their
sides, like the lee-boards of a Dutch
galliot, when they submerge. Straits
held by an enemy will no longer stop
them, nor isthmuses, norwnine-fields.
They will rise from the water and
fly over such obstacles.
Can Pass All Obstacles.
In a few years', time an episode
like the attempt to force the Dar
danelles will be entirely unnecessary.
Should such an operation be ordered
the attacking squadron will ascend
into the air 'and fly over the Straits
into the Sea of Marmora. The Sue
canal will be crossed in a single
swoop, and it will be the same at
Panama.
"Impossible, you say? Hearken
to Rear Admiral Adair, well known
on the Clyde, who said in the
house of commons so recently as
December 15: "I believe" that in a
very short time thdre will be craft
perhaps as-Jbig as a destroyer, nor
mally floating on the sea, and steam
ing at a high rate of speed, perhaps
getting up'-to. 70 miles an hour, but
when the occasion arises spreading
her wings and traveling ISO miles
through the air."
Of course there will, but I do not
think - Admiral Adair went far
enough. He did make his flying
warships submersible. He also said
that he did not foresee "a battle
ship aircraft." He clung to the con
ception of large surface-fighting
craft, fitted with deck armor "to
keep off bombs", and presumably
aerial torpedoes. Faith in these
waddling monsters dies hard.
Aircraft Masters of Ships. ,
Five years ago torpedoes were"
discharged from aircraft. This year
it has been demonstrated that air
craft armed with torpedoes can suc
cessfully attack a fleet Sir Percy
Scott says that the development of
aerial torpedoes makes it necessary
to consider the. question carefully
"before we.even think of building
another surface battleship." I would
add that no battleship cart long sur
vive such an attack from the air
unless it can either fly or dive, or do
both.
I 'see no reason whw these new
warships should not ultimately far
exceed a destroyer in size. We think
too much in grooves. Our imagina
tion is still clogged by the idea of
ponderous armor and weighty en
gines. We made no allowance for
the extraordinary advances now be
ing made by the science of metal
lurgy. Who knows how soon we
may not discover an alloy combin
ing extreme lightness with great
power of resistance and explosives.
.Unless mankind calls a halt in the i
J - i ,
devising of means of destruction, 1
am convinced that civilization must
perish, and perhaps in the. end man
kind also.
Lloyd George said that there wer?
terrors at the" end of tlfe war-which
no one dreamed of at its beginning.
"Disceveries were mate which, if
used, would have produced horrors
indescribable discoveries by our
selves, discoveries by the French,
discoveries by the Germans." If war
began again, he hinted, it might pro
duce something far worse than the
Dark Ages. It might lead to uni
versal annihilation. ,
What did he mean? Here is ont
thing. Just before the armistice
British experts made a gas so
lethal that 5 per cent of it mixed
with 95 per cent of the atmosphere
was fatal.
Connect that fact with the swift,
improvement of aircraff 'and the'div
ing warships which will fly. over the
land. - )

Showdown in Pact
Fight Expected Today
(Continued From First Page.) -
Senator Hitchcock, however, iscon
fident that he commands' a sufficient
number of democrats to defeat the
treaty withthe Lodge reservation,
to which the president Objects.
Senator Sherman and one or two
other "irreconcilables" have inti
mated that Vthey might vote for the
treaty withl the reservations : and
there is speculation 'tonight on the
possibility that with democratic de
fections- enough votes may be found
to ratify the pact with the1 Lodge
reservations and thereby put
squarely up to the president the
question of accepting the -action -of
the senate or pocketing the treaty.
Wilson Gives Argument.
If the treaty should fail of rati-'
hcation by the senate again the ques
tion of obtaining peace by other
means would recur in more insistent
form. With the league of nations
questions headed for the "solemn
referendum" of the presidential elec
tion, Senator Inox's proposal to
ratify the treaty withv the exception
of the coveifanf would receive seri
ous consideration or if tHis should
not prove feasible Senator Lodge's
alternative to declare peace by reso
lution. The anomaly, of the" situation is
tiut tne preyiaent xnreaiens to rejeci
the treaty. b '.cause of the Lodge res
ervation to article ten, although it is
nbip other than Mr. Wilson who has
furnished the most telling argument
for rctentiAi of this reservation
without modification. ;
Tiie president denounced the allied
Adriatic settlement as immoral- and
unjust and threatened to withdraw
the treaty with its league of nations
covenant under article ten of which
the United States would be obliged
to maintain these unjust boundaries.
This substantiated the arguments of
the' supporters rf the reservation re
lieving the United States of such
obligation. ,
