Writing from the National capital
to friends in Seward, Mrs. C harles A.
Saizer. wife of Alaska’s Delegate to
Congress says:
“There is so much of interest just
now that one hardly know-, whore to
begin. When the i'resident speaks to
the joint session, admission to the gal
lerios is by ticket only, and usually
each Congressman has but one ticket.
When the Serbian Mission was receiv
| ed in the House the other day, Mr.
>ulzer had two tickets, so Mr. Troy
and I went over expecting to hear the
Seibian minister, but f > ud when wo
arrived there tluft Tiosideiv Wilson
had notified Congress that he had
something to say* and that he woidd
be there at noon. He came and read
his now famous peace proposals. Hi
read very slowly and distinctly, wd
every one appeared to realize that he
was very much in earnest. He wa*
repeatedly cheered, every oue '*and
;ng. Wlmn he retire*l, the Serbian
Mission came in and wer° warmly re
ceived. fhey weie lint* looking men
Iressed in khaki colored uniforms,
very much like our own soldiers. The
Minister addressed the House in un
derstandable English until he tried to
Isay ‘indefatigable.* He attempted to
say the word three times and then
veiy tactfully gave it up.

House convened at eleven or« lock with
Billy Sunday leading in prayer. He
made a splendid prayer, but talked so
rapidly that the House stenographer
! con Idn t take down all he said. Billy
never fails to tell the Ixird what he
thinks of the Kaiser. When he fin
ished speaking the people applauded.
It was the first time 1 had ever heard
a prayer applauded. The galleries
were filled to overflowing and there
were long lines of women waiting at
each door. A great many of the wo
men had brought their lunches in their
knitting bags and these stayed until
7:1 o m ihe evening when the amend
ment was passed by one vote. Miss
Jeanette Rankin made the opening
speech ii favor of the amendment.
Congressman Clark, of Florida, made
the piir.cinal speech against it.
“On the preceding Monday I had
itt< nd«nl the committee hearing on
the suffrage amendment. Ex-Scnaior
Bailey, of Texas, spoke against it. lie
used that old hackneyed argument of
the breaking up of the home and pic
tured women walking along the streets
smoking cigars. He also made the
astonishing statement that he liked to
know when he left his home in the
morning that his wife was in his
castle, but the whole wide world was
his to conquer. After him came Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Catt. She spoke for
suffrage and when she got through
the gentleman from Texas hadn’t a
leg left to stand on. It was a pleas
ure to listen to Mrs. Catt. She has
wonderful poise and is direct and lo
gical in her arguments.
“I’d like to tell you something about
the weather here. We have had as
low as six below’ zero, unheard of in
Washington before, and it was almost
unbearable. I have never in all my |
twelve yours residence in Alaska boon
;,o thoroughly cold and miserable as
luring the past three weeks in Wash-'
ington. Dr. Garfield’s closing order
created quite a fume here, but from
all 1 can gather it was very necessary]
to awaken the people to the stern
realities w’e are facing and will have
to face in the future, if the war con
tinues. I
“Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is a very
beautiful woman, very young looking,
and she knows how to dress. T saw
her at one of the joint sessions in com
pany with an English duchess. Mrs.
Wilson wore a becomingly tailored suit
of rich black material and hat to
match. The only touch of color was a
broad band of red around the hat and
a large corsage flower of the same
color. The ofYect was stunning. Of
course, 1 sat m the gallery, but ‘Son
ny’ sat with his dad in the House and
was introduced to many distinguished
members.
“Mr. Sulzer and ‘Sonny’ join me in
best wishes to all our friends whom
you may «ce, and especially to your-;
selves. IJe sure and write me all fhej
Alaska news.
“Cordially yours,
