Woman Suffrage

Miss Mccracken. correspondent of

OF voting upon the women OF that
state. She thought voting had de-
graded women aud lowered them in

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Diplomats are to-
day discussing the question of what the
status will be of the German and British
Golfers accompanying Admiral Rogest-
vensky, when Admiral Togo engages the
Russian Baltic fleet ~ battie.
The questions are asked: Win the pow
ers recognize the right of the japanese
to sink the colliers, despite the fscs
they will be flying British and German
colors; or would a protest against such
action be lodged as in the case of the
knight Commander
It is known the first part of Admiral
Togo-s plan consists of isolating the
colliers from the Baltic vessels. 1t is
believed he would be unwilling to re-
auce the complement of his own fleet
by transferring a prize crew to the col
liers. The only alternative to such ac-
ton would be the sending of the col
liers to the bottom.
international lawyers believe Togo
would be justified in taking this latter
step At the same time they admii
there is a possibility of it raising a del
icate question. Particularly would this
be so if the Japanese were unable tt
