IS NOW CALLED KAISERBERG
Germans Give New Name to Town OF
Czenstochows in Russian
Poland.

Petrograd-You will loo, in vain
for the city of Kaiserberg on the map
of Russian Poland and little will you
suspect that this name stands with
the Germans for the ancient city OF
Czenstocbowa, but Kaiserberg 1t is at
present. and the inhabitants are
forced, under threat of severe penal
ties. to speak OF il as such.
This is another proof of the Ger.
mans tactful policy toward the Poles
whom the invaders are supposed to

RESOLUTION ON SUFFRAGE.
Lines Offers Measure to Attest Eff

Denver.-If adopted by both Houses,
Senate joint resolution No. /, intro
duced by Senator Matt Lines of Canon
City, will place the Twentieth General
Assembly on record as attesting to
the efficacy of equal suffrage in Colo
rado and refuting statements regard
ing its operation here, which, it is
charged, are being made in other
states. Senator Lines resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas, The question of woman
suffrage has become an important is
sue in many states of the Union; and
Whereas, Woman suffrage was
made a part of the organic law of the
state of Colorado more than twenty
two years ago; and
Whereas. The operation and effect
of woman suffrage in this state is be
ing made the subject of misrepresen-
tation in other states where the ques-
tion is an issue.
Therefore, We deem it to be our
duty to say that experience has
demonstrated that woman suffrage is
not only just recognition of all be-
fore the law, but has proven in all re-
spects materially helpful to good gov
ernment, tending toward greater pat
riotism and higher moral standards
among our people, and, to a notice
able degree, has inculcated higher
respect for the majesty and supremacy
of the law"
