M1 WKSTERX women who are In sym pathy with suffrage are Interest ad In the career and work of Mra Nor man Ie R. Wbltehoose, tho "little woman who put it over In New York. And now she is going to Europe, but that Is another story. Mrs. Whttehouse. chairman of th New York Woman Suffrage party. Is described as frail looking, beautiful, young, but with a spirit of steeL rh Is magnetic, baa graclouanesa of man ner, keenness of mind, ready apprecta tion and unbounded courage, coupled with good Judgment. It waa largely through her efforts, ack'd by the steadfast support of the loyal women of New York and the others who gave their co-operation, thatj New York gained equal suffrage. Mrs. Whttehousa Is known to roaoy of the leaders In the cause here and they are rejoicing at honors that have been accorded her. In a recent Interview she said: "The war has touched our private Jives, because there la scarcely one of ns who has not a husband, son or brother fighting for his country. " hen war came and we offered our awrvicea to our country, we knew it meant that we must sacrifice the Imme diate Interest of our own rause. We are patriotic women. We recognise that the demand for woman suffrage la based on love of country and a desire to serve. We realise the atrength which we have attained In New York State tbroush TO years of organised ef fort for woman suffrage. We knew when we made the offer of our services that we were the greatest oritanlied body of women In all the country, trained In service and co-operation. "In New York City alone 11.000 of our members worked in 4u0 of the cen sus registration bureaus. "We furnished an organiser for the Bureau of Co-operating Agencies of the Stale Home JVfense Bureau. We have organised Red Cross chapters where none had existed. In Warren County alone 15 chapters were organ ised by the Suffrage party. Suffrage teams raised money for the Red Cross Xund. "Suffrsge speakers were taught to speak for the liberty loan and the Suf frage party sold $4,000,000 worth of the bonds In the first Issue alone. "In mji mral rountiaa the suf fragists organized canning rluhs and sent speakers on canning and food con servation throughout the state. We have canvassed the women of the state with the Hoover conservation pledges. "We have pot fjovemment work first and suffrage work second. But In mite of all our sacrifices of time and effort we have enrolled, as suffragists. 1.011. tue women over SI years of age In this PfSte." f "Weren't you frequently asked why yoa continued to work for the vote during the warT she wss questioned. "That qnestlon came In the same form from the most widely separated districts and it always ended with the phrase, 'as the English sufTragiata did.' "This apparently simple question shows the most amazing ignorance of what the sufTragiata In England did do. of the difference between American In stitutions and those of England, and above all It shows an indifference to the great principles for which this wsr Is being fought and an unfamlllarity with the lessons , which It has already taught so plainly. "In England there were, before the war, two groupa of sufxraglsts. At the outbreak of the war the militant branch gave up their militant tactics that waa all. "The other group of suffragists con tinued their efforts to strenxtben their organisations. They advertised their existence and undertook various sorts of relief work, as auffrase associa "You must remember that the most ctlve suffrage work on the part of the English suffrsglsts bears no resem blance to the grinding work of a suf frage campaign In this country. There no appeal is made to the mass of voters. The fete of the question Is In the hsnds of Parliament. When the war began the suffrage question wss not Imme diately pending In Eugland: In fact, all efforts to hsve It considered seemed to have been blocked for an Indefinite time. "The moat striking lesson of the whole war Is the recognition by all the allied countries of the responsibility women owe to the government- The war has proved that a nation la made up of tmih men and women ami that women are necesssry even in tba de fense of a country.
