Drove Tim Betts down to Lifton & went in to Launceston with him.

Did shopping & went to meeting of Suffrage Society. Had to preside, and as it was the first one I had been to for 2 years felt rather out of touch with it all. Miss Willcocks spoke & told us of the work of the N.U.W.S. & of the Hospital Units which have been sent out to the various fronts.

She told us that the American Commission of Inquiry had published the following approximate figures of both the military and civil population in Europe during the war.

4 Million soldiers had been killed.

20 million civilians and of that 14 million had been killed in Poland alone. No children under the age of 7 were left alive there.

The devastation is the country is too awful to think of. We hear so little of Poland & these figures did not appear in the Press.

She went on to appeal to us who were wishing for a vote to educate ourselves in matters both social & political & commended our Launceston Society for keeping up its numbers & continuing its existence. So many small Societies have gone under since the war broke out.

Came out to Lifton by 4:40 train. Had tea at the Musgraves & walked home in the dark.
