Just as his steady pressure west made
the evacuation of the Strypa front in

between eighty and a hundred miles
into Austrian territory since he took
Czernowtz, he is still profiting by his

the Austrian armies before him do not

hours, he will get Halicz and be in
position to turn the Austro-Germans
out OF Lemberg by the menace he car

Britain Must Give Votes
To Women, Says ASQuith
Any Reform of Franchise Will Have to Include Them
Premier Tells Commons-Declares Their Arguments
"Unanswerable Delays Action.

London, Aug. 14.-Any new bill for
franchise reforms in England must in
clude votes for women. That is the
opinion of Premier Asquith, implied in
his speech before the House of Com
mons to-day.
The Premier announced the decision
of the Cabinet that the undertaking of
new franchise and registration reforms
in the midst of n great war was too
complex and controversial problem.
At time, said the Premier, when the
war had reached a happy, promising
stage, and when it more than ever re-
quired the absolute concentration of
the government, it was impossible to
consider the large questions involved
in a revision of the franchise.
General enfranchisement has been
brought face to face with another prob
lem. What are we going to do with
women" he asked.
Women's Case "Unanswerable."
He was bound to say, the Premier
went on, that representatives of the
women had presented to him a perfect
ly unanswerable case. They we're con-

not succeeding. The Italian onrush
along this stony plateau, almost every
yard of which is fortified, stands as
one of the most striking achievements
of the entire campaign.
Not Sparing His Men.
Cadorna is sparing neither men nor

undaunted by the stiff resistance they

tent TO abide by the present franchise,
but would urge their claims II the
qualifications for the franchise were
altered.
Dealing with a suggestion that the
franchise should be extended to all
soldiers and munitions workers. Mr..
Asquith said there were the grsvest
difficulties in the way, and that there
were serious objections from military
viewpoint to holding a general election
among the troops in the field.
Urges Giving Combatants Vote.
After brief criticism by Sir Ed
ward Carson, who urged that every
combatant, irrespective Of age, was
entitled to vote. and contended there
was no reason why the women's claims
should stand in the way of giving all
combatants a vote, the House passed
the first reading of the bill extending
the life of the present Parliament. A
separate bill, bringing into force new
register on the basis of present quail
ifications, on May 81 next, will be in
troduced in the House tomorrow.
There is no doubt one of the main
reasons for the governments avoidance
of the franchise problem was the
threat of the women that they would
refuse to recognize any change in the
franchise in favor of fighting men
which failed at the same time to recog-
nizc women's rights.

British Statement.

London, Aug. H.-The official
statement issued By the War Office
tonight says:
The situation is unchanged along the
whole British front. The usual hostile
Smelling has occurred along our front,
more particularly directed on the
Nametz Wood, Pozieres, in the neigh
borhood of Arras and on our trenches
north of the Observation-Disclosures
road.
West of Pozieres a successful bomb
ing attack resulted in the capture OF
a hostile machine gun and some pris-
oners. The enemy exploded mine
west of the La Folie farm, which did
little damage.
Our flying corps carried out yester-
day much successful work, acting with
our artillery and infantry. Several
bombing raids were made, including
three separate attacks on hostile
aerodrome. One of our machines is
missing.
An earlier announcement read:
Last night to the west of Pozieres
the enemy gained a temporary footing
in a portion of the trenches captured
by us yesterday. Otherwise there were
no developments on the British front
between the Somme and the Ancre.
South of the Ypres salient we. car
ried out a successful raid without IN
curing any losses ourselves: There has
been further mining activity. We
forced an entry into German gallery
at the bluff north of the Ypres-
Canal, and after exploration blew in
considerable length. We captured some
of the enemy's mining stores. We also
successfully exploded mine near Cor
