WOVEN UiNT
The BALLOT
IN RUSSIA
Interest in Question of Their
Share in Public Affairs
Growing in Russia.
GRANTING OF BALLOT
rs NOT PRACTICABLE

n T. PETERSBURG, Russia, April
1S.-Interest in the women's
question is rapidly growing in
Russia. and during the winter a large
number Of meetings nave been held in
St Petersburg with the object of adj
YOcating the claims of women to
greater share in the conduct of public
affairs.
The claim to the vote is frequently
discussed, but since Russian conditions
are especially unfavorable to the ex-
tension of the franchise to women, the
pOlitical issue is usually treated merely
as a phase in the general question Of
the enlargement of the area of wom-
ems work for social betterment.
At largely attended meeting,
Madame A. TyrkOva, a well known
Novelist and one of the leaders of the
women's movement stated briefly the
aims and ideals of Russian women in
the present state Of their conflict.
Russian Women Privileged.
Madame TyrkOva pointed out that
for many years, Russian women had
been in privileged position as COM
pared with their western sisters. III
matters of property they had enjoyed
considerable independence, and higher
education had been secured for women
IN Russia long before it had been ac-
CURED in most of the countries Of
western Europe. In the struggle for
political reform women fought side by
side with men, on absolutely equal
terms But the very privilege enjoyed
by Russian women had given them a
false sense of security. They were dis
inclined to regard the women's ques-
ton as especially interesting to them.
They forgot that they were the heirs
of a worldwide and age long tradition
of 1nferiOTity which was wildly IL
Illustrated in the customs Of savage
tribes in relation to women But with
the relaxation of political oppression
the women's question had forced itself
to the front in Russia.
Pleads for English Sisters.
Madam TyrkoYa pointed to the Eng
l1sh suffrage movement as an illus
TratiOn of the straits to which the best
women were driven in a highly civil
lied society when the conception Of
the essential inferiOrity Of women was
embodied in an intricate network OF
usage and custom. She also pleaded
for a more reasonable and tolerant at
utude to the English suffragists, who
in Russia were too frequently con-
demned wholesale
Speaker Sounds Warming.
ouffragism, she said, was a warning
that Russian women must organize
and intelIgently review their own po-
sition. More especially, she urged,
they must remember that modern civ

Efforts Now Made to Bring
Navy to Full Possible
Strength.
ALLIANCE SOUGHT
WITH GREAT POWERS

~ ERLIN, Germany, April 1s.-The
K German naval authorities are
Il concentrating their attention
more closely than ever on the work Of
bringing the naval strength up to a
very high standard both as regards ef-
ficiency and numbers in a few short
years, by 1920, it is expected that the
personnel of the navy will number
100000 officers and men.
To supplement this active" force
there will be a reserve force of 1875, 900
trained men and it is feared that the
strain on the financial resources OF
the country, great though they are,
will be severely taxed in the main
tenance of such 3 vast naval strength.
However, the German parliamentary
financiers have no great miSglVlngS
on that score they have never yet
failed to raise all the money they re-
0ufred and they have the happy
facility Of discoveringg new forms Of
revenue whenever occasion demands.

Attempt To Gernanize
Switzerland Cause Of
Disauietude in France

Paris. France. April 1S.-There is a
growing feeling of disquietude IN
France over the very apparent at
tempt to Germanize Switzerland and
the area Immediately bordering on the
German frontier. For the most part
the cantons of Switzerland are French
sDeakfng. but to the great astOnish-
ment of the Swiss pOpulace the fed
eraT government has recently given
German names to two places IN Ine
.Jura- and has allowed German schools
in the country to receive subsidies
from Germany.
The government has given an as
surance, possibly by way Of allaylng
public fears, that everything possible
win be done to prevent any cause of
differences OF to interfere with the
constitutional guarantee for the
French language. This, however, has
not had the soothing effect hoped for
and nearly all the municipalities, led
by Berne, are calling upon the gov
eminent for the very thorough fulfill
ment of their undertaking.

Vienna, Austria, April 1S.-Declaring
that "Germany's hand, which grasps
everything nowadays, reaches from

the Increase in Russian military prep

He began by declaring that, despite

Count BObrinsky then spoke Of the
commercial treaty with Russia which
will come up for renewal in the year

Russia's difficult position to get

TREATY
IN THE SACRED
TIBETAN CITY.
English Expedition Has
Thrilling Experience in
Hostile Country.

Washington. D. c., April 18-The
perils of a mission into hostile coun-
try, through treacherous mountain
passes, to negOtiate a treaty with
people who refused TO enter into any
negotiations, are described in a COM
munication to the National Geographic
society. at washington, D. c., by sir
Francis Younghusband, who headed
the famous British mission to Lhasa,
Tibet Sir Francis is now paying his
first visit to America after having
spent more than 20 years on the from
tier and in the hinterland of India.
Instability along the Indian from
tier and the approach of a rival power
in Tibet drove England into the latter
country, explains the soldier diplomat.
It was suspected that secret negOtia-
tons were being carried on between
the Tibetans and Russia, which would
work to the detriment of England with
her vast interests in India. Finally, no
progress having been made by at
tempted long distance negotiating,
since the Tibetans refused to negoti-
ate, 1t was decided to send a party to
the sacred city of Lhasa itself. The
escort of sir Francis at the start was
200, but later the detachment was
swelled to 1900 native indian and 500

Many Dangers and Hardships.

'I thought at one time I had gone

where else, so long as it was valid,
