MRS. .MARsHALL FIELD
 SAYS WOMEN WILL
 YET GET THE BALLOT

SEATTLE Mrs. Marshall Field, widow of the noted merchant, is a Seattle visitor for day or two. ar irving here last night with some friends and registering at the New Washington. Mrs Field, who was left an estate worth about $9o,OOO,- 900 manifests cordial interest in the affairs of her sex.
 A fixed belief in the high standard of American Womanhood is one of her chief characteristics and she de- clares that there arc no heights to which women of this country may not rise.
 CT am firm believer of the worth of American women" she said last night. q am not a suffragette either, but ] do feel that universal women's suffrage Is bound to come to Amer ica sooner or later. Many of my close friends are suffragists, and. Of course, on that account am interested in the successful fight the women of Washington made for the ballot. Wo- men everywhere are doing great work and especially Is this true in Europe at the present time. Should any misfortune such as war happen to this country you would see the noble acts and deeds of the women of Europe duplicated in America. There are no cleverer people in the world than American women and there are no heights to which they may not rise"

 Now that tho war business is bet ter understood the general situation begins to show a stability that has been foreign Co it Apparently the only question is at Go what would happen should cessation of hostili- ties occur But the success Of the Germans thus far means prolonga- ton of the war. and a consequently foreign demand for munitions.
 This business is assuming larger shape than is generally supposed. We should witness a veritabla boom with the absolute knowledge as to where the money would come from to make actual payments. This is the only drawback today.
 The weakness in sterling exchange continues a feature and it Is based purely on demand and supply. ES- 1orts are made at times to support the rates, but the selling pressue is too great. Bankers are much inter ested In renewed reports of the plac- ing of British. French. Italian and Russian credits. and early develop ments on this score are anticipated.
 The Mexican situation bids fair to be cleaned up by diplomatic interyen- ton. Evidently the Administration has a broad plan Which may succeed without the necessity of bloodshed and with the backing of the countries in South and Central America.
 There is less disposcition to criti else the sensational advances in the war stocks. Enormous profits have been accepted there are enormous profits on paper and yet there seems to be no danger lurking anywhere The whole market in fact is inclined to broaden.-(Boston News Bureau)

SIavs Out of East Prussian Port
Allies Land Troops on
Turkish Soil.

London, March 25.-The big battle
of the moment is in progress between
Dukla pass and Uzsok pass in the Car
pathians, where, in their official COM
munication the Russians claimed to
have captured a number of Austrians
and to have made a general advance
Austrian correspondents declare this
battle is likely to continue for some
time. 1t is possible that the Russians
viii use part of the troops released by
the fall of PrzemysI in an endeavor to
bring the battle to an end.
The Austrians have developed a
fresh offensive in Bukowina, to which
territory they some days ago sent re-
Inducements and have, according TO
their account, driven the Russians
back towards the frontier and removed
the immediate menace of Czernowltz-
On the other extreme wing of the
eastern front the Germans have reoc-
cupied Memel with the assistance OF
their warships, which have since bonn
barded the roads by which the Rus
SLAMS were falling back The Germans
also apparently have checked the Rus
sian advance on Tilsit.

to penetrate the straits the mine
forces must be well supported on land.
1t has been known here for several
days that strong detachment OF
French troops was on its way to the

SUSPECTED A GERMAN SHIP
Washington Officials Believe Oden-
waId Was Planning to Arm at
Sea-HeId in Port.

Washington, March 23--The Ham
burg-American liner Odenwald,
stopped from leaving San Juan, Porto
Rico, Sunday, by shots across its bow,
is being held under recent congress
sional resolution empowering the
president to prevent supplies going
from American ports to ships of the
European belligerents at sea-
1t was learned here that the Oden-
valid was warned that she could not
leave San Juan until the port officers
had an opportunity for a thorough in
spection. Permission for that was re-
fused.
Officials here feel convinced that
the Odenwald, while not loaded with
supplies of coal and food that are
usually carried by merchantmen, may
have intended to fit out on the high
seas with guns and ammunition as
an auxiliary cruiser like the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich now lying at Newport
News Officials in Porto Rico sus-
pected the Odenwald was planning to
take that course. Had the United
States consented to her departure un-
der the circumstances, it was held by
the state department that it thereby
might have created another Alabama
case.

U. S. MAY SEIZE ODENWALD
Breach of Neutrality at San Juan May
Call for Maximum Penalty
for Germans.

Washington. March 24.-Proceed-
ings under the neutrality resolution
adopted in the closing days of the
last congress will be brought against
the captain or owners of the Ham
burg-American liner Odenwald, halt
ed by shots across its bow when it
attempted to leave San Juan, Porto
Rico, without clearance papers last
Sunday. That was made known yes
terday at the White House.
Attorney General Gregory said as
he went to the cabinet meeting that
he had not determined whether action
would be brought against the captain
OF the owners, but that definite steps
would be taken within the next few
days.
Forfeiture of the vessel to the Unit
ed States is among the penalties which
may be imposed in case it is estab-
lished that it attempted to leave port
without clearance papers to carry
supplies of any kind or men to a
belligerent ship at sea.
All the facts in the possession OF
the treasury and war departments
have been communicated to the de-
partment of justice. 1t is understood
that the acting United States attor-
ney at Porto Rico has been instructed
to prepare the case.

ENGLISH GOLD COMING BACK
Bank of England Sends Shipment of
100000 to Pay for War
Supplies.

New York, March 24.-Another
break in foreign exchange quotation
yesterday between New York and Lon
don brought the rates down to the
lowest within the memory of the old
est brokers. The decline was fol-
lowed by the announcement of the en-
gagement for shipment here of $780,
600 from the gold holdings of the
Bank of England at Ottawa, Canada.
This is the largest amount in one day
since the return movement to this
country began and brings the total up
to $24,SO0,0 600, representing nearly
one-third of the gold sent from the
United States to Ottawa during the
early months of the war.
The disturbed condition of the ex-
change market is attributed chiefly
to the enormous purchases of war sup
plies in this country by the govern
ments of the allies.
Exchange on Paris moved yesterday
to its lowest record, as regards the
purchasing power of French money
here.

FEDERAL GAME LAW is VOID
Judge Pollock Knocks Out Migratory
Bird Law by Decision in
Kansas Case.

Topeka, March 22.-In decision
just filed with Morton Albaugh, clerk
of the United States district court,
Judge John c. Pollock of the federal
district court holds that the federal
game law, generally known as the Mi
gratory Bird Law, is unconstitutional.
Judge Pollock holds that the United
States Congress has no jurisdiction
over the game in any of the states, and
that the separate states only, and not
the federal government, have the right
to enact laws for the regulation or
protection of game.
The case in which the decision is
written originated in Fort Scott.
George L. McCullagh, a banker of Ga
lena, Dexter Sapp and H. B. Savage
were arrested on complaint filed by
Fred Robertson, United States dis
trict attorney, on charge of shooting
ducks out of season and in violation
of the federal law. A demurrer to the
complaint was entered by the defend
ants and the present decision is in
ruling on this demurrer.
The decision is of interest, not only
to the sportsmen of Kansas, but to
those of all other states.

VICTOR COMP ANY LOSES SUIT
New York Federal Judge Decides That
Patentee of an Article Can Not
Fix Prices.

New York. March 25.-The right OF
a patentee under the Patent Law to
fix the price at which a patented
article must be sold at retail was de-
MED by Judge Hand in decision yes
terday in the United States District
Court. A suit brought by the Victor
Talking Machine Company to restrain
R. H. Macy & Co. from selling phono-
graphs and records at a lower price
than that fixed by the Victor company
was dismissed by Judge Hand. The
Victor company sold none of its pat
ented articles, but disposed of them
under a license system at a stipulated
price to the ultimate customer. The
Macy firm refused to be bound by
this plan and Judge Hand ruled that
the Victor company had no recourse.
