WOMEN TO SWELL
list OF VOTERS
Registration Officials Say Equal Fran
chIse Means 1900 More
In Reno

1t Ia estimated by registration offi-
cials for the city election that the en-
franchisement of women win result In
about 1000 more voters qualifying to
vote for city officials than appeared on
the books Of the last general election.
The estimates for the total increase
over the figures of the last election are
between 1,400 and 1900.
The registration books will be open
ed April 8, with George Brysan, police
Judge, acting as registry agent. He
VIII be provided with a deputy. and Sol
Hip probably will serve in that capa-
city the appointment to be made by
the city council.
Sol Hip has made a casual examin-
alton Of the registry list OF the last
election and estimates there are 3,358
persons recorded who are entitled to
vote at the coming city election. This
will make the total number Of persons
entitled to vote approximately $500.
Hip is copying the register Of the gen.
eral election for use In the city cleo
tion.
Any person whose name appeaIJ on
the register for the last election Is en-.
titled to vote at the city election, pro-
vided he resided inside the city limits
at the time he registered. To be en-
title to register. a person must have
resided In the state six months and In
the county 80 days.
The laws governing citizenship will
afford some strange cases relative to
women voting. For instance a woman
whose husband Is not q citizen, will
not be entitled to vote, although she
is a native American. Likewise, a
woman OF foreign birth whose hus-
band 10 a citizen. will be entitled to
vote whether she Is naturalized or not.
A single woman Of foreign birth, how
ever, must have gone through the pro
cess OF naturalization before being on
utled to sote.-Gazette..

national Law.
tsy .sseet.rsp sssss,


BERLIN, Feb. 8. by wireless to
London.-The memorandum Of the
German government concerning a
blockade OF British waters states:
''The British war measures are a
continuous violation OF international
law. Great Britain placed objects
which were not OF any use In war on
the list of ,contraband articles and
even dismissed the question of con-
trahand by selling all objects destined
for Germany and by taking away Ger
man property from neutral ships and
Germans Of military age
found on neutral ships.
"All. these measures have for their
object the maintenance of British in
terests, the destruction of German
economical life and the starvation OF
the German people.
Neutral powers are contenting
themselves with vain protests against
Great Britain's Illegal and injurious
measures and are even, under pres
sure Of England, issuing orders pro-
hibiting the export and transit Of
goods to Germany.
Germany, therefore, is obliged
energetically to protect her life and
interests by declaring blockade. A
fortnight's delay will give merchant
ships the necessary time to make ar
rangements"
