Civilized

"FRANCE IS THE ONLY CIVILIZED* COUNTRY WHICH HAS NOT ACCORDED THE VOTE TO WOMEN."

Thus reprovingly flaunted a poster which careened through southern France last week on top of a bus. The bus was paid for by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, respectively august and flamboyant U. S. feminists. Within the bus jounced many a French suffragette.

Madame Marthe Bray, president of the French Women's Suffrage Alliance, sat by the chauffeur, directed him to halt at localities judged fallow for stump speaking. The response of the southern French peasantry to this whirlwind "missionary tour" in behalf of women's suffrage was reported "cold."
