CLAIM RIGHT TO VOTE.
German Suffragists Discuss Terms of
New Insurance Law.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


BERLIN, September 10, 1913.
A crowded meeting. mostly composed Of
women, was held under the auspices Of
the Greater Berlin Woman's Suffrage So
ciety, to discuss certain supposedly am
biguous paragraphs of the new Imperial
compulsory insurance law, which comes
into force January l. Under this law,
novel as the fact may seem, domestic
servants, including farm hands. con-
cierges (here known as house porters).
charwomen laundresses, nursery and or
binary governesses, and private teach
ers, are for the first time brought under
the system of compulsory national In
surance.
These classes of workers have hitherto
been insured either in private insurance
associations or in the local insurance So
cieties tortskrankenkassen), under mu-
nicipal, not state. control. The Berlin
suffraGists attach Importance to the
proper Interpretation of the new law. as
they claim 1t gives a right to women
also to vote for members of the boards
OF the new imperial insurance societies
0andkrankenkassen), inasmuch as IL ex-
p.icitly grants such right TO the employer.
Leading juriSts on the other hand, are
Of opinion that the term refers only to
male, not female. employers, though adj
m.ttedly the latter possess the t.Slt 40
APPOINT ana dismiss servants. Moreover,
at present servants. a. Well as Employ
ers, have the right to vote for members
of the boards of the ortskrankenk: 9sen.
and from this the suffrasists draw the
conclusion that employees. female as Well
as male. who are compelled to join an
insurance society. thereby acquire the
right to vote for members of its board Of
management. 1t is proposed to discuss
other supposedly ambiguous or obscure
provisions of the new act at a great suf-
fragist public meeting to be called shortly.

NEW BRAND OF POTATO
FOUND IN NEW ZEALAND
Tuber Declared to Be of Blight
Proof and Frost Resist
ing Quality.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
AUCKLAND. n. L.. September a. 1913.
new blight-proof and frost-resisting
potato has been discovered by Mr.. John
Harris of Ohura road Raetihi. n. Il.
The discovery is said to be the most inn
portant one In agriculture for many
years. and the agricultural department
OF the New Zealand government has in
vestigated the phenomenon and admitted
that the properties claimed for the new
potato arc beyond question.
Mr.. Harris has been experimenting with
potatoes for years, and sometime ago he
noticed a healthy stalk growing among
a crop of Northern Stars and III Dora
does. all of which We're affected by
blight. He took UP the root OF the
healthy plant, and. finding Ii In a per-
feet state, began to experiment.
Known as the New Era.
The result Is that n potato now called
the New Era has been grown. The plant
was carefully nourished and tended. and
for several seasons a new crop was
propagated from the seeds of the previ-
Gus crop. The variety has been placed
under the closest observation, but on no
occasion has there been the slightest
trace OF bllgnt or disease caused by
frost, though the crop planted next to IL
has been blackened by severe cold and is
even now badly affected. So strong ts
the growth OF the new variety of potato
that some Of the tops can he extended
to a length of seven feet The tubers
are the color OF lemons. and from ten to
eleven pounds of tubers are being taken
from a single stalk. The average yield
Is about nineteen tons per acre.
Admits It Has Quality.
Mr.. Bayliss of the government agricul-
tural department has made an inspection
Of the growing crop. and though he has
formed no theory to explain the origin
Of the New Era, he admits that the po-
tato is really frost-resisting and blight
proof. A frost in the district where the
new potato was found is no small af-
fair. The land Is 1000 feet above sea
level, and the cold is often SO severe
that potato cultivation has been stopped.
The new potato Will give a great impetus
to the potato cultivation Of the dominion.

Anxious to Develop
the Water Power.


Anxious to Develop problems which
the Water Power. both nations
The residents on each side Of the bound
airy are anxious to develop their COM
mon water power to their own adj
vantage, each under the authority of
it's own government. .The fountain
head which supplies all boundary
waters must be regarded as interna-
tional. whether 1t Is located upon ono
side Of the boundary or the other.
Therefore the United States govern
ment cannot authorize the use OF
waters within It's own borders when
the drainage of British territory is af-
fected by that use. and Canadian in
terests must be restrained when they
conflict with the development Of an
American industry affected by a COM
mon water supply.
The commission recently held a meeting
in Kenora, Ontario, at which hearings
were gwen to all the interests affected
by the boundary waters. This meeting
was informal in character. but 1t is re-
garded as having far greater significance
in the history Of both nations than the
greatest bgttle could have had. 1t will
make possible the settling of difficulties
which, under former methods would have
called for battle. 1t was decided that no
just settlements could be recommended
until a typographical survey of the en-
tire territory could be made by compe-
tent surveyors. This survey has been
going on throughout the summer, and will
continue until cold weather makes tie
work impossible. 1t will be resumed next
spring when the weather permits. The
EXPENSE Of this survey is to be borne
jointly by the two nations. Each sup
plies survey party. but the work is
being carried on with spirit OF absolute
harmony and cooperation. This survey
is one OF the most difficult and unpleas-
ant ever made. The surveyors follow
small streams In a canoe. as long as the
streams are navigable. then they abandon
the canoe and wade In the water, and
sometimes are compelled to wade hip
deep in swamp to make the required
measurements. TIE cost SO far has been
over &3O.OO0. but no estimate has been
made as 10 the expense Of completing it..
The chief engineers of this surveying
party will report their progress to the
commission at the session in Ottawa.
