GERMAN A|RMEN ARE SUPERIOR
 ID FRENCH

PARIS, Feb. 21. - French aviation authorities agree that Germany has been able to entirely transform it's aviation service since the war began, making improvements of a most i'm portant character, while it possessed certain advantages over the French flying corps at the outset
 The reasons for the superiority of the Germans in what was considered before the war a French speciality will perhaps become public in the parlia- mentary debate that is imminent. One aviator attributes the difference to the fact that while the French fol- lowed aviation as a sport, the Ger mans took it up seriously for practi- cal application to the requirements of the army. He points out that the Germans were flying at night long before the war began, while the French began their nocturnal trips only after the was was several months old

SE RIB ARCHIVES CAPTURED BY
 AUSTR|ANS

BUDAPEST, Feb. 21. Notwith- standing the utmost efforts of the Ser bians to rescue all their archives, those belonging to the ministry of state have been captured by the Aus trians and taken to Vienna. The dis covery of the important documents is due to an Austrian Red Cross nurse.
 During the Austrian crossing of the Save river, the general staff of one division quartered itself in an old cloister inhabited by monk, and an Austrian nurse. who had been cap tured by the Serbians and forced by them to cook at the cloister She had been there three months, she told the officers.
 Just after her arrival, she said, a huge motor truck rolled mp one night It was manned by fleeing Serbians who forced those in the house into a room and locked them in for six hours When they were released, motor truck and the huge cases it had contained had disappeared. The nurse was sure the truck had been unloaded at the cloister.
 The general staff immediately be- gan an investigation of the premises. In the wine cellar they finally came on traces of newly turned earth. When they excayated at this point they found 64 cases containing all the state archives.

TRIED TO THROW OUT
THE SUFFRAGE PLANK

st. Louis, June 16.-After an un-
successful fight to throw out the suf-
frage plank in the democratic plat
form as approved by Mr.. Wilson, the
convention At 800 o'clock adopted
the wh9le Platform. including piApks
On Suffrage and Alndfieanisdl by) BE-
clamation. The convention then ad-
journed sine die at 3:12 p. m
The adopted plank is as follows:
eve favor extension of franchise to
women of this country, state by state,
on same terms as men," A fight on
the suffrage plank came in the form
of a minority report, substituting a
plank which would have left the mat
ter entirely to states without any ex-
preston of opinion favoring suffrage.
Governor Ferguson, who led the fight
of anti-suffragists, declared that suf-
frage was purely a states rights
question and the wording of any ma
jority plank was a ''presumptuous
recommendation to the states on how
to conduct their celebrates"
Suffragette leaders considered the
original plank much more favorable
than the declaration they got at the
republican convention and threw their
forces into the fight in behalf of adj
ninistration leaders.
Senator Walsh's plea that Wilson
had urged the plank and to reject it
would cause discordant note in pro-
ceeding prevailed, and the minority
report was defeated.
The fight on the suffrage plank
was the first row in the convention.
The fight was led by Governor Fergu-
son of Texas, and seemed to have a
chance of success until Senator Walsh
of Montana, told the delegates that
Mr.. Wilson considered the suffrage
plank as written as necessary to the
party's success.
Roll call of states showed only one
hundred and eighty-one and a half
votes for the Ferguson substitute
against eight hundred and eighty
eight and half for the original
plank.

THE PRESIDENT WILL
REFUSE TO WITHDRAW

Washington, June 16.-President
Wilson today virtually completed the
reply to Carranza's note demanding
withdrawal. The substance of the re-
ply being written in the democratic
platform at st. Louis. The reply may
not be dispatched for several days, but
officials say Carranza has only have
to read the party's Mexican plank to
learn what the note would say. The
plank indicates that intervention can
only come if forced, respite the recent
anti-American demonstration and re-
newed border raids. The plain fnti-
nation in the plank that intervention
will not be shirked as 8 last resort
however, may serve as a warning to
Carranza officials TO think. The note
vii say thel government is pledged
to maintain troops on the border and
Mexico until there remains no posi-
bility of further raids on American
towns and ranches.

PERSHING WILL
MOVE WHEN HE WANTS

Washington, June 16.-Trevine's
threat to attack Pershing if he moved
any way except toward the border,
brought no indication tonight of a
change in the administration deter
mination to continue the campaign
against the bandits south of the in
ternational line. Pershing is author
lied to move in any direction he finds
is necessary for his purposes. While
officials make 10 definite statement IN
the absence of Secretary Baker, it is
the belief here that these orders will
not be changed. There is no fear of
a clash however, for it is not believed
that Pershing will take any steps that
might lead to serious consequences
until he has communicated with the
department. The recent Carranza
troop movement in northern Mexico,
however, led officials here to believe
he is preparing for some hostile move

very irritating cough, but it is abso-
lutely nothing serious. It is distress

condition. DR.. Derby, his son-in-law
has strapped him up so as to alleviate
the pain as much os possible. This
local condition is improving very rap
idly, and look for a quick recov-
cry in couple Of days"
