GRAFT IS RIFE
 IN ALL RUSSIA

St. Petersburg, March 11.-(Special) The recent seizure of the papers of a great American manufacturing concern with branches in Russia may result in such a scandal as will shake Russian society to the center

No con- cern doing business with the govern ment could escape the grafters.
 M. Stolypin is fighter and he found that in order to keep his own head he had to have absolute proof against high placed grafters and he must go to work in the usual Russian manner to get it. He not only seized the papers of the American concern but the houses of d number of high officials have been searched with the result that the prime minister has secured incontrovertible

Military strategists are now discuss ing the plan of attack to be adopted by Germany in the event of another war being waged against France. This discussion is motiyed by the Flushing Notifications and the question of Bel gian neutrality.
 One writer today suggests that Bel gian neutrality would not stop the Ger mans any more than a motor-car is stopped at a level crossing. He sug- gests that some time before war was declared small section of the German army would simulate an attack on the eastern frontier. Meanwhile the bulk of the army would penetrate Belgium and turn the French army to the north in such way as to make an attack on the rear
 The French general staff has, of course, its plan. It's main lines are thus indicated in a way which savers of n campaign conducted on comic opera lines. To the offensive screen of the Germans in the east the French would oppose defensive screen.
 Afterwards, without violating Swiss territory, the greater part Of the French army would be sent through Belfort and proceed towards the north, the ob- 1ect being to attack the German army Tn the rear While the Germans would turn the French forces on their left Hank the French would be able to per form a similar operation.
 It is thought that if this double movement were executed with nreci sion it might happen that the two armies would find themselves eychang ing places. And at the same moment the Germans would be in Paris while the French would be In Berlin. It is not forgotten however. that some movements which begin well often turn out badly. Let us hope" says the strategist. who, the reader Will have suspected by this time. Is writing with his tongue In his cheek that the Germans will find 1t impos- sible to pass the northern frontier. One must not forget" he adds, that the au 'omatie lighters they use will not be stamped"

Still more remarkable Is the reconciliation With the Imperial ottoman bank which so short a while ago was merciessiN handled by Djavid Bey, the Turkish minister of finance.

WOMAN GETTING
 RIGHTS IN NORWAY

Copenhagen, March 11.-(SpeciaL)- Norway has evidently found its ad-. vanced experiments in woman's suff- rage satisfactory and has taken another long step in the way of placing woman on a complete political equality with man.
 Under a resolution adopted by King Haakon's cabinet all public offices have been thrown open to women with the exception of places in the cabinet, the army and navy. the diplomatic service and the church.
 The Norwegian women since the franchise was granted to them have taken an active and intelligent interest in political affairs. They have been a positive force for good and if this new experiment works we'll 1t is not i'm probable that the offices from which they are now barred except perhaps the army, navy and the church will be opened to them

The French naval manoeuvres will not take place till next September, but already the subject is arousing con siderable interest owing to the report that the minister of marine proposes to hold them in the British channel, with Dunkirk as the base. Some peo- ple have traced a connection between the manoeuvres and the Flushing for tifcations, and on that account 1t Is probable that Admiral Boue de Bapey- rere may abandon the idea. As a friendly demonstration in sight of Eng land, it would be perfect anything further than that would be impolitic. It should also be remembered that the French minister has just changed the chief of the naval staff and the in spector- general in chief of the navy, these offices being now filled by Ad- miral Jaureguiberry and Rear Admiral Auvert, respectively. The whole scheme of the manoeuvres has to be studied. and final announcement must necessarily be deferred.

 Today begins in Italy the great Cammorist trial before the viterbo As size court After great difficulty n panel of 40 jurymen has been selected and from this 12 members of the jury VIII be chosen. The fear of the Cam mosists' revenge has caused nearly every one of the panel of 40 to try to be excused. but the judge has refused to let anybody off. so their only hope is now that they may be able to answer the questions in such a manner that the lawyers on one of the sides will reject them, and 1t will be necessary to call in the second panel.
 The trial vii be continued uninter- ruptedly until Easter. when possibly a weeks recess will be granted to enable the lawyers and witnesses to spend the Easter holidays at their homes. So far six leading neapolitan lawyers, includ- ing Deputy Vecchini, who defended the Countess Tarnowska. and Advocate Manfredi. who is considered the best orator in Italy. have been retained for the defense of the Cammorists.

ROW OF ONE-STORY STORES
BRINGS GOOD PRICE IN SALE
Small Business Places Prove Popular With
Investors Who Wish to Garry Valu-
able Realty With Little Cost.

Announcement has been made by the
Thomas J. Fisher Company Of the sale
of seven business properties located at
the corner Of 9th and T streets north
west. the sale being made for Percival
D. Emmert and Mrs. Eva r. Bowie to a
purchaser who wished his name withheld.
These properties are one-story stores, and
1t Is understood the consideration was
$4,000.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the development OF realty OF
! this character in the National Capital has
been particularly rapid within the past
two or three years. One-story stores have
been built in all sections of the city. and
there is scarcely new neighborhood into
which merchants have not found it posi-
BILE to gain access. because the building
of rows of new houses almost always has
been followed by the construction on an
adjacent block Of a series Of these small
business places.
spector Of buildings is not called upon
TO issue permits for the construction of
such structures, and nearly every build
ing season has seen several contractors
buSily engaged in preparing One-stoty
stores for the advent of the mercantile
interests.
Stores Often Mushroom Growth. /"
In quite few instances the one-story
stores are built upon land which appar-
emily is much too valuable to be used
solely for such improvements. but in such
cases II is almost invariably the rule that
the stores are merely temporary ex-
pedient. designed to produce an income
sufficient to pay the owners taxes upon
the land and to permit him to carry the
investment without cost and possibly
with some little profit, until the ground
is in demand for some more substantial
Improvement
| Occasionally there is heard some little
criticism Of one-story stores as a class,
because they are not to the liking of
those interests which stand for civic
beauty. It has been said that these stores
are decided detriment to the develop
ment of the city along esthetic lines, but
while it is obvious that one-story stores
are not things of beauty. and that they
add little to any neighborhood save in
the matter Of convenience to householders
in finding mercantile establishments
practically at their very doors. it may
safely be said that these little buildings
