There is evidence of continued remov-

RUSSIAN IMPERIAL MANIFESTO
AGAINST BuLCARIA--ITALIAN'
SQUADRON TO join THE BLOCKADE
OF BULGARIAN COAST ON AEGEAN

French and British troops are still
landing at Saloniki to go to the ala
Of the Serbians and will continue to
do so. Greece has been officially no
titled by the Allied powers that there
will be no cessation in the debArkatlon
of men at Saloniki. So great number
of Allied troops have been put ashore
at the Greek port that it has been inn
possible to send the men promptly by
rail across the Serbian frontier and
some of them are proceeding foot by
foot by forced marches into the thea
tire of war. ~, >
Besides cutting the railway at
Vranya, the Bulgarians farther north
are operating westward across their
border toward the fortress of PROT
which commands the Orient express
railway line between Nish and Sonia.
Up in the north and northwest, the
Germans and Austrians are still push
ing forward their attacks and slowly
gaining ground over the Serbs. A big
offensive movement by the Germans
east of Rheims on front of six miles
which was preceded by heavy bonn
bardment and the use Of asphyxiating
shells and clouds of cloraine gas sue
ceeded in gaining for the Teutons
some of the French first line trenches.
Counter attacks, however, resulted in
the Germans being forced back to
their former positions with heavy
losses, according to Paris.
A further gain for the Germans
south Of Riga and the repulse Of a
Russian attack northwest Of Jacob
| stadt are the only gements Of
note mentioned in the latest German
official communication.

j THE opponents of woman suffrage
in New Jersey We're obliged to adopt
unfair tactics to defeat us. There has
been much colonizing in the large
cities and it was plainly evident to Us
months ago that it. was not the inten-
ton of the political ring to give us
a square deal. In arranging the cleo
ton law so that the ballots would be
unn lmbered it was known that that
alone would help to defeat us. AS for
the future, we are stronger than be-
fore for in all legislative work we
will be represented by many thousands
of voters or record and not merely
women workers.
We will start tomorrow with new
plans. not with the intention Of work
ing five years to get people agreed to
vote. but to obtain presidential suf-
frage at the next session of the Legis-
lature." ."- . -

THE result is just as l expected. l
hope the overwhelming defeat will set

is concerned, for all time. Suffrage
does not seem to have carried sin

Two minor constitutional amend
ments, also voted at todays election
