NEWARK, N. j.. October 1s.-The
first great eastern fight on the far
flung battle line of woman suffrage is
today only twenty-four hours away. At
6 o'clock tomorrow morning the polls
throughout the state Of New Jersey
will be thrown open to determine at a.
special election whether Votes for

Presidents Declaration an Aid.
President Wilson's declaration for
suffrage, reinforced by thorough and
vigorous campaign waged by organi-
zations and workers, Is expected by
suffrage leaders to carry the day for
woman suffrage in his home state Of
New Jersey. Their. victory Is sure,
and by comfortable margin they
state. On the other hand. those op-
posed to suffrage are inclined to laugh
at these claims and assert that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to en-
franchise women will be buried under
an avalanche of votes
More than $50 speakers and other
workers were active in the deld to-
day, their automobiles carrying them
through the sections where the fight
will be hottest, into even the smallest
towns and hamlets. In the big cities
the campaign was similarly intensified.
From many vantage points. including
thousands of street cars. cartoons and
picturesque posters pleaded silently
with voters to cast their ballots for
woman suffrage.
Party Lines obnterated.
Less spectacular. but none the less
thoroughly organized. was the cam
paign conducted by opponents to suf-
frage. Party lines have been obliterat-

publican leaders are working both for

workers feel that both organizations
are quietly opposing them. but there
is no open evidence that this Is state

:TEUTONSATTACKING
!. SOUTHEAST Of RIGA
Petrograd Thinks Action In
tended to Divert Attention
From Other Fronts.

LONDON. October 18.-In the eastern
theater Of the war the Germans again
are attacking the Russian positions
southeast of Riga, but Petrograd COM
mentators regard this to be purely a
demonstration calculated to distract
attention from the Dvinsk region and
Galicia. which have gained greatly in
Importance with the Balkan develop
ments.
1t is clear that although the battle
which Gen. Ivanon Is fighting continues
with varying success. the Germans
have been unable to establish them
selves on the eastern bank of the River
Stripa.
Preparing for Winter.
Along the Russian 'front.'" says the
Morning Post Petrograd correspondent,
the Germans everywhere have begun
preparations for winter. 1t is believed
their warfare will take on a purely de-
fensive character as soon as the fight
ing for Dvinsk is decided.
The trenches are being deepened and
widened and lined with concrete. They
are provided with field railways to the
rear, while comfortable underground
quarters, which are fully protected
against the rigors of the weather, have
been prepared for the men. These
works already are completed in several
districts. notably around Mitau and
south Of Riga! Zeppelin hangays have
been erected at Kovno."

ATHENS, October II. via Paris. Octo-
ber As.-According to information from
a diplomatic source here. the army of
Gen. Won Linsigen. which was original
ly intended to be thrown by the Teu-
tonic allies into the Serbian theater of
war, was forced to return to the east

troops have occupied the Bulgari-
an town of Strumitsa, fifty miles
north of Saloniki, according to
official kilograms from Athens.
This follows closely upon news
that Serbians, with allied assist
ance, have repulsed Bulgarian
attack at Vilandovo, turning the
advance of the Bulgars into re-
treat beyond their own border.
Thus the Anglo-French-Serb-
ian action in the Balkans has
leaped out of the field of surmise
into vivid foreground Of fact,
and is asserted by London mill
tary observers to have been
crowned at the outset with sue
cess.
Strong Dramatic Qualities.
This arrival Of French troops at the
psychological moment when the Ser
bian struggle with 10000 newly ar
rived Bulgarians at vilandovo and Hun
dovo still hung in the balance. has dra-
matte qualities which for the moreEt
have completely eclipsed the military
exploits In other theaters.
The chief military Importance Of the
allied-Serbian success is the defsa. of
the Bulgarian project Of cutting thu
Saloniki-Nish railroad. which is known
to have been the Bulgarian objective.
It is not clear whether British troops
co-operated with the French In this
operation. but message from Athens
stating they had left Saloniki Saturday

Gates they at least were near the
scene of the nghting-
Giving Indirect Help.
Russian and Italian help thus far has
been only Indirectly exerted by increased
aggressiveness against the Austro-Ger-
mans, which makes a further detection
of Teutonic forces to the Balkans i'm
practicable.

tenegro, dated October IL and delayed in
says that attacks delivered
the preceding day by the Austrians

thought, uses up some part of this en-
ergy. During rest and sleep the supply
is Increased By the blood which gets the
needed elements from the Air we breathe
and the food we eat.
Your nervous energy Is like bank &C.
count. If you,use it up faster than you
add to it you overdraw your account.
Neurasthenia Is the name given TO ner-
vous bankruptcy. It means that the
power to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up 90 that it
will increase the supply Of needed ele-
nento to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a

BECAUSE they supply to the blood the ele-
