tion from Fort Smith interested in the proposition was expected yesterday to confer with Attorney General Ar buckle on the subject, but they did not come.
 The attorney general gives it as his opinion that he act is constitutional and that women may vote in any city or state primary hereafter, provided they have paid their poll taxes. The question that has been raised is whether the legalization of primary elections does not carry with it all the restrictions placed upon the electorate. including that of "male citizenship" :" MT. Arbuckle holds that the suffrage law comes within all constitutional re- quirements, but admits that there is a question that may have to be deter mined by the courts. Up to the pres- ent time, however, the question has not been seriously raised to such an extent that it is likely to be taken into the courts.

While French military authorities declare that France under the circum- stances could never accept a plebiscite, they doubt seriously if that form of solution will now ever be proposed. They base this belief on the fact that since the beginning of the war, Ger many has changed half a dozen times her various proposals for solving the question. In spite of the steps being taken to insure a plebiscite being fav- orable for Germany, the latter, appar- ently already convinced that this me thod would not be acceptable, is sug- gesting newer and apparently more liberal solutions.

MARKET RECOvERS
 PART OF LOSSES
European News Causes Net Ad- vance of II to 22 Points Continued Reports of Scarcity of Ocean Freight.

New York, Nov. 9.-The cotton market was less active today and re- covered part of yesterdays losses on continued bullish average of Southern spot advices, somewhat more cheer full view of European politics and cov- ering. January contracts fuctuated between 2668c and 26.95c, closing at 26.92c. The general list closed steady, at net advance of II to 2 points.
 There was some further Wall street liquidation at the opening, which evil dently reflected continuation of yes trday's selling movement. First prices were steady, at an advance of 5 points to a decline of { points, and the offer ings were readily absorbed. Liverpool and domestic trade interests were free buyers, while some of yesterdays sell lers seemed to be covering on reports of a good spot demand and a we'll maintained basis in the South. De- cember sold up to 27,62e and March to 26.50c, with active months generally showing net advances of about 15 to 25 points. In the case of January con- tracts this made a recovery of just half a cent from the low level of yes terday afternoon. Demand then tap- cred off and there were reactions to about the low point of the morning, under scattering liquidation, which was probably promoted by continued reports of scarcity of ocean freight room and the failure of Russian or Italian news to show any decided im- provement. But the offerings were comparatively light and the market turned steadier again late in the after noon on rumors of British successes and bullish weekend figures. Last prices were within to points of the best.
 Cotton closed steady.

GERMANY COLONIZING
 ALSACE AND LORRAINE
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
 Correspondent

With the French Armies, Oct. 28. (By Mail. )-Secret information from Alsace and Lorraine reaches the French military authorities daily, rela- tive to the steps now being taken there by the Germans, to render it cer- tain that if a plebiscite were held to decide whether the two provinces pre- ferred to belong to France or Ger many. the result would be in favor of the latter.
 Although at the time Germany an- IneXed Alsace and Lorraine she de- clned absolutely to allow the question to be submitted to a plebiscite, she now appears very anxious to have the ultimate disposition of the two pro- vinces settled Al that manner. In the meantime active steps are being taken to see that Alsace and Lorraine are inhabited, at least at the time of the proposed plebiscite, by German ma jority.
 According to the information reach ing France, a steady colonization has now been going on for some time past. German families are being moved into the two provinces and settled there until the ultimate fate of Alsace and Lorraine is disposed of at the peace conference.
 Germany is also pushing to a quick lcompleton the liquidation of all the great manufactures and other indus tries owned by French capital or by people of known French proclivities. Many of these properties are valued at millions of dollars. They are being sold to German shareholders and con- cerns by the German government at values fixed by the latter Presumably in the end the French owners will re- ceive back portion of the proceeds.
 Tn this way Germany is seeking to wipe out not only the French popula- ton but all influence which the latter might exert
 For some time past Germany has similarly been exerting a control upon the Protestant church in Alsace and Lorraine to the same end. Pastors of known French sympathies are being suspended from their offices and sup planted by ministers known to favor German. Some have even been inn prisoned, and others obliged to resign from the Metz Concistory. The presi- dent of the Directory of the Augsburg Confession was even destituted and replaced by Baron von der Goltz

C1NHRh REPORT 0F
 KERENSKY OVERTHROW
State Department Receives Mes sages From Ambassador Fran cis, Confirming Report of the
 Fall of Kerensky Government.
Tinted Press Special.

Tinted Press Special.
 Washington. Nov. 10.-Cablegrams from Ambassador Francis in Petro- o,ad received by the State Depart nont confirmed the overthrow of the eKrensky government.
 nne message dated November 7th, another on the Sth, confirmed dis natches telling of the arrest of cabinet members and of the bombardment of the winter palace by the cruiser Aurora.
 Ambassador Francis messages made no mention of loss of life and said Patrograd now was quiet.
 The only other information the State Department had was in tele- cram stating that all American Red Cross workers in Russia are well.
 The department said nothing so far had developed upon which this govern ment can base any alteration in its present policy toward Russia. Until responsible new government is es- tabhshed, the United States will take no action.
 The Bolsheviki- -Maximalist group who gained control of Petrograd, are reported unoflicially to have formed a cabinet headed by Lenine and Trotsky.
 The exact whereabouts of Premier Kerensky is still mystery.
 The fact that Ambassador Francis was permitted to get his messages through over the wires controlled by Maximalists and Bolsheviki may mean -Aat .hev will soon seek official recog- nit01 Of the United States. Such recognition will depend upon the sup port granted the new government by the Russian people.
 The ambassadors messages do not confirm the report that Moscow is also held by the revolutionists, although the American consul's wire to Francis from Moscow may come through later from pctrograd.
 Tho Russian embassy predicted the Bolshevjl-MaXimalists would prob ably form a new cabinet with Nicholas Lenine as premier and Leon Trotsky as minister of foreign affairs.

When PuIImans Were New.

The real birth of the Pullman car
dates from the closing days Of the war

Journal (Sprlngfield) Of May 80, 1865.
is to be found the following:
I'VE are reminded of prophecy
which we heard some three years since
that the time was not far distant
when a radical change would be intro
duced in the manner Of constructing
railroad cars; the public would travel
upon them with as much ease as
though sitting in their parlors and
sleep and eat on board of them with
more case and comfort than it would
be possible to do on a first class steam

NEGLECTED. FOODS.
Their More Liberal Use Would Be .
Help In Home Economy.

Among the foodstuffs that American
housekeepers have scarcely utilized are
turnip tops, radish tops, mustard plants,
sorrel and chick peas among the vege-
tables and the cheese product that can
be extracted from whey.
The greens mentioned may all be
cooked like spinach or they may be
made into delicious cream soups, as
they have been for centuries by Euro
pean housewives. Enough sorrel grows
in the average vacant lot in every city
TO make many purees or cream soups.
Chick peas are as nutritious as beans
and when served in broth are just as
tasty. They also can be made into
PURGE.
Radish tops and mustard leaves make
a cheap and appetizing salad.
Professor Mary +. Rausch in lee
ture ut the University of Washington
gave some hints about home economies,
one of which was that foods in shallow
pans cook more rapidly than in deep
pans, thus saving gas. Another was
that not a scrap Of fat of any sort need
be thrown away, but all should go into
a double boiler and be tried out for use
in frying or as shortening for pastry

CONVEX LENS OF THE EYE.

made instantly and without mental eff

the simplest Of experiments.

straw against the face of the sun and
