SUFFRAGE NOTES
FURNISHED by the Southern States
Woman Suffrage Conference

Must have been interesting in the
Hackensack, y. j.. courthouse when
subjects OF seven foreign powers swore
allegiance to the American flag. One
OF the new citizens was an Oriental
wearing huge green turban. He was
a solemn looking applicant and insist
ed that turbans were the proper head
gear when taking the oath. After
much protesting he finally consented
TO replace the turban with green
skuli-cap and he was duly made a
sovereign citizen of these United
states. He will be privileged to vote
on the question of giving American
women the right of the ballot when
the measure is submitted in New Jer-
sey. It must afford considerable COM
fort to New Jersey men to tnow that
this x-turbaned, erstwhile- Oriental is
now in q position despotically to mould
the destiny OF the native born edu-
Gated New Jersey women. There is
hone, power and possibility Of political
advancement for the green turban, but
the democracy OF Jersey balks at JUS
tice to women. The Oriental may
change his views of mans subsection
in government, but the turban ideas
still prevail in Jerseys attitude toward
women.

North Carolina.

strong campaign for suffrage is
being carried on before the Legisla-
ture now in session in North Carolina
in favor of a bill for the submission OF
an equal suffrage amendment. There
appear to be excellent reasons for be-
lieving the Legislature will agree to
submit the question to the voters, and
in this event a vigorous State cam
paign will be instituted. The Raleigh
dispatch says arrangements are now
being made to have a man who has
been high in the councils to the DEM
ocratic party appear before the Legis-
lature and urge that body to vote for
the submission OF the amendment"
North Carolina has been Democr1tc
in it's partisan allegiance for forty
years, and can now confirm its devo-
ton to Democratic mandate as we'll
as principles.

two in advance. Florida can show her
sister States some methods. One Is
the team work of Booster Clubs. Not

No More Likely to Abandon Fight Than Is the
 United States.
SLAVS ENCOURAGED
 BY WILSON'S WORDS
Prompt Recognition of New Demo- cratic Government. and Presidents Reference to Revolution Make
 Deep Impression.

Washington, April 23-Fnrther en- Gouraging reports from Russia came today in dispatch to the state de- partmcnt, telling of the effect of President Wilson's war address, and declaring that Russia, under the new democratic government, is no more likely to abandon the war without achieving her object than is the United States.
 Recalling that one of the impelling causes for the overthrow of the im- pcrial regime was the belief that it was planning a separate peace. the dispatch said the revolution would expedite the defeat of Germany and the establishment of general peace.
 The prompt recognition accorded the new government by the United States gave encouragement and help to the council of ministers and their supporters, the department was in- formed, while President Wilson's al lusian to the Russian revolution in his address to congress made a deep and lasting impression on the people of Russia.
 The address has been translated, to- gether with other of the presidents utterances on Americas participation in the war, and is being widely circu- lated in pamphlets.

TOUGH ON BROAD
 PHASES OF WAR
Formal Conference Not to Begin Until Arrival of French GommiS- Si0ncrse Now Expected in
 Few Days.

Washington, April 2' Great Brit alnS war commissioners spent today 1 m tn" American capital receiving every mark Of consideration and couy-
 tesE within the gift of the govern mCnt.
 1 Foreign Secretary Arthur James l Balfour formally was presented by Secretary Lansing to President Will I son in the morning, and was the guest of honor tonight at the most notable dinner in thc White House in Q generation. During the day he was | presented to Vice President Marshall and lunchcd With French Ambassador ! Jusscrand
 Meanwhile other members of the British commission called upon of iicials of departments with whom they will confer on details as to the plan for concerted action in winning the war.
 MT. BaliOur, after three -fourths Of an hour conference with Presidenr Wilson, remarked that the trip had been justified by that meeting alone. While no formal negotiations were entered into, President Wilson and MT. Balfour are known to have touch ed broad phases of the situation in such way as to give each an in- sight into the others personality and viewpoint, and establish the utmost confidence and concord.
 The official prediction was made that no formal conferences will be held until the arrival of the French commissioners, expected now within few days. The British commission announced that it's purpose in com ing to this country was purely one or cooperative service, and gratitude, and that from now on the direction of the conference would rest largely with the American government.
 Dinner Devoid of POmp.
 The White House dinner was a very simple affair, and there were no toasts nor speeches. It was served in the state dining room and the table decorations were spring flow CTS. There was no music. Mrs. Wilson and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones. President Wilson's cousin, were the only women present.
 After dinner, members of the Brit ish mission arrived for the formal reception, and for more than an hour American and British officials re- mained talking and smoking.

Intensive Fighting Starts in

BERLIN DENIES
 BRITISH CLAIMS
|Official Communication Announces At. tacks Broke Down With Heavy
 Loss-AerOplanes Resume Actiyi- ties, Many Machines Destroyed.
Associated Press SummaryD

(ASSOcldJGO 'FTSSS Cul1lIIldTy.)
 Again the British have begun a pe-
 riod of intensive fighting from the re-
 zion of Lens southward to the Havr- Iincourt wood. and. according to the
 London war office, have been suc-
 cessful at various points, capturing #important German positions. In ad-
 dition, 1,200 Germans were made pris-
 oners in the first days fighting of the new offensive.
 Both north and south of the Scarpc
 river, the British have materially ad-
 vanced at several points toward
 Doua. North of the river, the vil- l lage of Gavrelle and positions 2h miles south of the village were cap l tured, while south of the stream the British took line of German l &trenches on wide front, south and
 east of Monchy le Preuz, and captur- l ed Guemadde and another village. Further to the south the entire vil-- l Haze of Trecaulte and the greater l part of the Havrincourt wood no V i are in the hands of General Haig's forces.
 On the northern en-: of the battle
 line, additional progress has been
 made west of Lens, seemingly placing fthat important town in great ieop- 1 ardy.
 The last Berlin official communica- l ton dealing with the fighting of
 Monday says the British offensive on
 the Arras front broke down with heavy casualties. Berlin admits the penetration of German trenches on a front of 300 yards, southwest of Lens,
 but says the British later were ex |pelled.
 Northeast of Soissons, between the Aisne and the Cemin les Danes, the |French further advanced their line I but elsewhere on the French front |artillery duels have predominated. Sunday night the Germans tried without success to penetrate French positions, notably east of Craonne, |n the Champagne, near St. Mihiel, Iand in the Visges mountains. The return of good weather to the western front has brought renewed |aerial activity, and on Monday French armen shot down sixteen German |alrplanes. A similar number fell prey to British aviators. while 15 |others were driven down out of con- |trol. Anti-aircraft guns destroyed another German airplane and seven kite balloons.
 Berlin reports that German airmen |1lred down II enemy machines, and Idestroyed four captive balloons. The British war office admits that seven British airplanes failed to return to their bases.
 Heavy artillery duels are taking place in the Lake Doiran and Cerna rlVer bend regions, on the Macedonian ront. Paris reports the repulse of IIeutonlc allied reconnaissance be- tween Tervena, Stena and Sokal, in this sector.
 The Germans evidently are pre- Iparlng for the drive on Petrograd Ithat has been expected in the Russian capital for some time. Warships con- Veylng transports are reported un- |offlcially to have left Libau, on the Baltic sea, for unknown destinations. meanwhile, the Germans have renew ed their attacks on the northern part o1 the Russian front in the Ala river region.
