the identification of performers be-

room will contain a powerful Tesla

Bryan's Argument.

The statement follows in part:
LAS man and woman are co-tenants
of the earth and must work out their
destiny together, the presumption is
on the side of equality of treatment
in all that pertains to their joint life
and it's opportunities. The burden Of
proof is on those who claim for one
an advantage over the other in deter
mining the conditions under which
both shall live. This claim has not
been established in the matter of suf-
frage.
"The first objection which / remen1-
Der to have heard was that as woman
cannot bear arms she should not have
a voice in deciding questions that
might lead to war, or in enacting
laws that might require an army for
their enforcement. This argument is
seldom offered now, for the reason,
that as civilization advances laws are
obeyed because they are an express
sion of public opinion, not merely be-
cause they have power behind them.

U. S. Counsels Zapata.
Not only is the American govern
ment at this moment counseling Gen.
eral Carranza, the Constitutionalist
chief, to arrange with Francisco Carba-

full transfer of the government at Mex
leo City to the Constitutionalists with
out further fighting, but it became
known that the administration is d.
rectly in communication with Emil
ana Zapata, commander in southern
Mexico.
Zapata, according to reliable reports
to the state department, has $4,000
men, and though most of them are
poorly equipped they would constitute
a serious menace to new government
at Mexico City if they remain in revo-
luton. Zapata, who demands agrarian
reforms Immediately, made common
cause with the Constituencies and
obtained supplies from them with
which to fight the Huerta government.
1t is not known whether he will lay
down his arms in favor of Carranza.

no revenges when the army takes

informally that he intended to retire
in favor of General Carranza, the Con-
stitutionalist chief.
Mr.. Carbajal wishes only that q
general amnesty be proclaimed and
protection given to the property OF
those who opposed the Constitution
alists.
The views of Mr. Carbajal were ex-
pressed in detail to Secretary Bryan
by Jose Castellot, former member Of
the Mexican senate, who called at the
state department with personal tel
egram which he had received through
the Mexican embassy. 1t wls the
first communication between the Am
erican government and the Carbajal
administration.
The message incidentally revealed
that Generals Huerta and Banquet
are planning to go to Europe. The
communication addressed to MIR. Cas-
tellot, a personal friend of the new
president, was as follows:
"I have just taken the oath OF Of
fee as president of the republic. Gen
erals Huerta and Banquet have de-
parted for Europe. / desire to make
it known with emphasis that my only
purpose is to facilitate a solution OF
the grave problems which weigh upon
our country. I have not the slightest
ambition for myself and merely wish
to terminate the internal conflict of
our country. Please give me your i'm
pressions of the situation in Washing

Fears Proved GroundIess.

"These objections, however, honest
ly advanced, have proven impotent to
retard woman's progress. May not
the fears sincerely entertained by the
opponents of woman suffrage be found
to be as groundless as those that once
forced the widow in eastern India to
ascend the funeral pyre or as those
from the social benefits and RESPONSE
bilities which the woman of the Chris
tian world shares?
'And are not the second and third
objections above stated refuted, to
some extent. at least, by the fact that
in the states which have adopted wo-
man suffrage land in the other nations
that have adopted it, there is no agi-
tation for a return to the system un-
der which man has monopoly Of
the right to vote? Is 1t not fair to
assume that an effort would be made
to correct the mistake if woman suf-
frage had really failed to give salts
faction to the people where it has
been tried?
Rights of Mother Supreme.
"The mother can justly claim the
right to employ every weapon which
can be made effective for the protec-
ton of those whose interests she
guards, and the ballot will put within
her reach all the instrumentaAities Of
government, including the police

ans entrance into it. If the political

Of the evil influences that have oper-

Might Relieve Monotony.

Second, it is urged by some that
womans life is already full of care and
that the addition of suffrage would
either overburden her or turn her at
tention away from the duties of the
home. The answer made to this is
that the exercise of the franchise
might result in change of thought
and occupation that would relieve the
monotony.
Third, many we'll meaning men and
women affirm that suffrage would work
a harm to women by lessening the re-
spect in which she is held This argu-
ment would have more weight had it
not been employed against every prop
osition advanced in favor of the en-
largement of woman's sphere. This
objection was once raised to the high
err education of woman, but it is no
longer heard.

BERLIN. Via Amsterdam, Nov. 20.
Strong Russian forces that reached
the region of Soldau in their recent
advance from Mlawa into East Prus-
sia, have been driven back sixty miles
to the River Bug, it was announced
here today, and the German troops in
their pursuit are approaching the fort
ress of Novo Georgiviska, northwest
of Warsaw.
Though a battle is in progress along
the entire line in Russian-Poland, the
chief fighting is believed to be along
the Dzura river southeast of kutno
and west of Lowiecz. The latter town
is an important junction point and its
capture by the Germans would give
them two routes by which to advance
against Warsaw.
German military experts pointed
out today that the Russian troops
south of the Nistula would have to
fight out their own salvation in view
of the fact that the forces north of the
Nistula had been forced back to the
Bug river, and with constant pressure
being brought upon them would be
unable to send reinforcements to the
southern army.

Defeat of the Russians in three diff

I'm the battle near koprikoi we cap

days fight against the Russians on the
line of Azeb, Zagek and khoole, the
strongly fortified heights near Azeb
was taken.
Turkish troops advancing on Ba-

capturing standard, one officer, one

guns, besides quantities of provisions.
