WOMEN VOTING
in NORWAY NOW
ALL THOSE PAYING TAKES ON
INCOMES OF OVER $40 ARE
PERMITTED RIGHT OF SUI
FRAGE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Christian1a, Nov. 28.-After an exfs-
tence dating from 1885, the Society for
Suffrage for Women has been dis
solved, there being no longer any rea-
son for It's activities, since women In
Norway have now obtained equal
rights with men in the matter Of vot-
ing in city, county and state elections.
In 1896 women paying taxes on in
comes Of more than 1920 a year we're
granted the vote in city and council
elections, and In 1907 the same privi-
lege was given them in state elections.
In 1910 every woman over % years Of
age, who had never been q public
charge or sentenced in the courts. was
granted suffrage in county elections,
no matter what she earned, and in 1913
the Storthing without debate unani-
mcus1y passed law giving women
common suffrage in state elections.
There has never been any militant
suffrage agitation in Norway; the
women leading the movement have
worked quietly and made Roadway by
means Of pamphlets and lectures
Leading men in the political world
have helped them without noisy dem
onstration of any sort.
For many years women have been
members Of city councils and county
boards, while they have not been
prominent as leaders in reform mova-
ments, they have proved themselves
less apt than men to become profession
al politicians who hold office for the
sake of personal profit. A couple of
years ago one of their leaders held a
seat in Parliament for a few months
as a substitute for a male member, but
since then there has been no other
women member 1t will doubtless be
few years before women acquire the
experience to be represented in pro
portion to their mum 1ers. AT present
about thirty five per cent. of the cleo
torate are women. The majority of
women voters continue to cast their
votes for men.

press than Emile Sapin, who, at the
age of a, has received the decoration
of the Order Of Leopold and the Cross
OF the Legion of Honor. lie Matin con-
fesses It could not believe all the bril-

man, who was a private when war was
declared, and who was made a cor
pora1 only a month ago, but that It has
investigated through inquiries not only
of Sapin himself, who La now in a
Cherbourg hospital, but also OF many
others and it cheerfully recognized the
following achievements:
First, during the siege Of Dege.
Sapin was in the fort Of Loncin.
Climbing a tree and concealed by it's
leaves he killed an entire battery Of
heavy artillery said to number AZ
men. It is claimed that the com
handing officer of this battery reached
the foot Of the tree revolver in hand
only to fall as the rest had fallen from
bullet sent out Of Sapin's rifle.
Second, two weeks later, he person
ally captured the flag of a regiment Of
Hussars whose Colonel he also shot
Third, near Louvain, sent out in
company Of six other men, Sapin sue
ceeded in capturing 20 soldiers in
Guiding one officer.
Just how it has proof Of such
achievements LIE Matin does not say
but it adds that Gen. Loe of the Belgian
army and two Cabinet ministers have
personally gone to Cherbourg to con-
graduate Sapin, who is not danger

AMERICANS ARE
SELLING SHOES
AGENTS OF SHOE MANUFACTURE
Frs ARE IN ENGLAND LOOKING
OVER THE FIELD.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Manchester, Nov. 28.-The Guardian
calls attention to the fact that agents
for American shoe manufacturers are
already in England studying the SIT
uation brought about by the extraor-
binary demand for shoes to supply the
troops, and the paper predicts there
will be another invasion of American
shoes unless English firms keep their
prices low and make unusual efforts
to meet the immediate demand for
marching boots of all sorts.
So far the British Government has
been forced to take almost any sort
of boots 1t could obtain for it's troops
It was impossible at the outset to stick
to regulation service boots and condi-
lions do not improve to a marked de
gree in spite Of the fact that most
manufacturers are working extra time
AS much Of the best box calf used
In high-grade mems shoes came from
Germany there is a dearth Of this
sort Of material. 'fKips" the leather
from which the uppers Of standard
army boots are made, are double the
price they were before the war.
