"The world owes more to small nation
allies than the large ones realize", said
Mrs. I'ankhurst to a large audience In
Taylor Hall on Friday afternoon, Febru-
ary 25th. For this reason, she said, she
came to America to plead for relief work,
by which the Servian nation might be
saved from annihilation.
"We want the moral support of Amer-
ica," she said, "for small countries,"
The gallant spirit which has made Servla
fight for liberty "in order that she may
civilize herself", she continued, makes It
Imperative that Servla should not be

UP QUE8TION OF SELF GOV POLICY
The question of accepting the resigna-
tion of R. Cheney, '18, from the office of
Treasurer of the Students' Association
for Self-Government was still undecided
at the end of the long meeting on Monday
night. After hearing Miss Cheney's rea-
sons for resignation and the five possible
grounds for refusing or accepting this res-
ignation as outlined by the President, M.
Russell, '16, the Association voted to con-
sider, for better understanding of the
main question, the attitude on honor-
reporting.
Reporting Voted Not Compulsory
As a result of the whole discussion It
was decided, first, that members of the
Association other than the officers should
not be required to report offenses of In-
dividuals against Self-Government. Sec-

ciation removed every check upon offend

the possibility of others reporting them.
It was said that such a radical result
had been brought about by the confusion
of a split ballot and not by the general
desire of the Association. C. Kellen, '16,
therefore moved that all members of the
Association, both as officers and as Indi-
viduals, be held responsible for seeing
infringements reported, but. since such a
notion involved the repealing of the reso-
lutions "already   passed.   It   was   not    in
