The Undoing of France.

The French Chamber has passed the
governments bill to extend the term
OF military service from two to three
years. This will enable the French
war Office 10 increase the size of the
army so as TO keep pace with that of
Germany.
Under the present system France
had only $4,000 soldiers available for
use in Europe. Germany succeeded in
having the Reichstag make provision
last spring for $4,000 men. Such dis
parity worried the French government,
hence the three years system by which
the army is brought up to a total OF
$4,000 men.
Still. it must be a bitter reflection to
every patriotic Frenchman that even
under the three-year service France is
unable to keep up with Germany under
only two-year system, and this means
the adoption of further and more
stringent measures to have the French
army in numbers somewhere near that
of the arch enemy
1t is quite certain that country with
a small and stationary population can
not keep up with one having a much
larger and rapidly growing popula-
ton without continually resorting to
extraordinary means. The cardinal
fault in France is what Col. Roose-
welt so emphatically warned against
race suicide" her low birth rate. I'm
less this is remedied by the Cooper
alton Of patriotic men and women by
more and more fruitful marriages, by
closer attention to the duties they
owe their "chere patrie," a further ex-
tension of the military service may
soon again be needed, and such
process repeated until agriculture, in
dustry, and commerce shall have been
drained of their virile energetic men
in order to keep the barracks well gar
risoned.
But what if exhaustion sets limit
A few more such victories of the
ministry of war will spell undoing to
poor France!

discussed at the convention can be
kept by the women after the session
remains to be seen. In the emergency
CALI to the convention, issued two
weeks ago, the case is thus stated to the
members OF, the national council:
A critical situation has arisen in the
national suffrage movement; your help
as women voters, is urgently needed.
In the Senate this session, for
the first time in our history, United
States constitutional amendment en-
franchising women has been unani-
mously given a favorable report by
the Senate Committee on Woman Suf-
frage. The amendment is now before
the Senate. Now is the time to press
favorable action upon it.
1t is added that the House Commit
tee on Rules will hold an informal
hearing on August "a, on the PROPOSE
ton TO create House committee on
woman suffrage, and the call urges
the members to be present at that
hearing. At the campaign headquar-
tiers here list has been compiled show
ing that twenty-five Senators favor
woman suffrage, that three oppose it,
while thirty-three thus far have not
committed themselves. Most of the
Southern Senators are against it. Ii
will take a two-thirds vote in each of
the two Houses TO pass a constitu-
tional amendment to be submitted to
the States for ratification. This means
that siXtyfour Senators would have 10
vote in favor of the resolution.
Apparently the hurry call to the
100000 women voters has been issued
to consider ways and means for con-
verting the requisite number of Sem
ators to the cause.

MINORITY MEMBERS
SUGGESTIONS MAY GO
IN CURRENCY BILL

| Representative Hayes, a minority men,
Der of the House Committee on Currency
and Banking. has made a suggestion in
| regard to the government Of proposal
| savings and trust departments of national
| banks, which, it is said. will be a part OF
the administrations currencq bill! as laid
before the House.
The plan offered by Mr.. Hayes for the
regulation of those departments OF ma
tional banks, should they be authorized
| by the pending bill. is a modification of
the California State law. under which
banks operate commercial, savings. and
| trust departments. Its basis is a require
ment that the departments. though con-
Quoted in the same or adjacent buildings.
| shall be operated distinctly and sepa-
rately.
The plan of Representative Hays con-
tains these provisions:
That a national bank may combine
subject to the approval of the Comp
troller of the Currency. the business of
commercial bank with that of a savings
bank or a trust company.
That bank opening a departmental.
trust company or savings bank must ap-
portion such of its capital stock and sur
plus to each of said departments as the
directors may direct, in any case not less
than $500: or, in lieu of such apportion-
ment, the capital stock may be increased
That the bank shall maintain a law
full reserve in each department: for the
commercial department. a reserve as
provided in the national bank act, as
amended; for the departmental trust
company. the part of the capital ard
surplus apportioned to this depart
ment; for the savings bank. a cash
lawful money reserve not less than 4
per cent Of all its deposit liabilities.
That the bank shall maintain sepa-
rate and distinct money reserves, keep
ing deposits with other banks sepa-
rate as assets Of the respective depart
ments from which they are made.
That no department shall receive the
deposits of any other department
That the bank shall keep separate
books and accounts, cash, securities,
and properties for the several depart
ments.
A penalty of a fine of $4,000 or two
years Imprisonment is provided.
Other provisions offered by Repre-
sentative Hayes specify the kinds Of
securities for investments that may be
made with the deposits Of the savings
banks departments. the regulations as
to realty investments being especially
important

IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES
DRAWN AGAINST SULzER
New York Legislative Leaders Prepare
to Institute Proceedings to

COMMITTEE IS NOT AGREED

Albany. y. Y, Aug. 10.-Articles Of
impeachment declaring Gov. Sulzer I'M

York State were drafted today by leg
islatiye leaders in conference with Eu-
gene Lamb Richards, counsel for the
Frawley committee at Saratoga.
Gov. Sulzer will exert every possible
force in resisting removal. and as his
first move will issue a statement to-
morrow answering charges made be-
fore the Frawley committee. Louis
Marshall, the Governors chief edyiser
stayed at the executive mansion to-
night.
The Frawley committee has split on
the advisability OF bringing impeachment
proceedings. The majority favors i'm
parchment, and the committee report
Will carry that recomme ndation. but the
minority advocate criminal prosecution,
with no action by the Legislature.
These were the chief developments to-
day in the scandal involving the Cover
nor's alleged misuse OF part OF his cam
paign funds in Wall Street stock gam

The split In the committee was signi-
ficant, the minority claiming that i'm
parchment would fail because. under
Suffers call for the special session Of
the Legislature. no mention was made of
a committee Of investigation. and there
fore the Frawley committee Is illegal
Despite this argument the Tammany
leaders declare they can muster the
votes necessary for Impeachment. and
intend to do so.
Albany, Aug. io-Gov. Sulzer at mid
night issued this statement, after a con-
ference at the executive mansion:
Il deny that 1 used any campaign con-
tributions for personal use.
II deny that / speculated in Wall
Street or used money contributed TO:
campaign purposes to buy stock either
in my own name or otherwise.

STOMACH UPSET?
SOUR? ''CASCARETS"
Gently cleanse and regulate your
Stomach, Liver and Bowels
while you sleep.

That awful sourness, belching
of acid and foul gases; that pain
in the stomach, the heartburn,
nervousness, nausea, bloating af-
ter eating, feeling of fullness, dir
illness and sick headache, means a
disordered stomach, which cannot
be regulated until you have re-
moved the cause. 1t isn't your
stomach's fault. Your stomach is
as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they immediate
ly cleanse and regulate the stom-
ach, remove the sour, undigested
and fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the consti-
pated waste matter and poison
from the intestines and bowels.
Then your stomach trouble is
ended. A Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning
q 10-cent box from any drug
store will keep your stomach
sweet; liver and bowels regular
for months. Don't forget the
children--their little insides need
a good, gentle cleansing, too.
