Field Marshal Won Hindenburg re-
Gently issued an order that Passchen-

that if it were lost it must be retaken
irrespective of cost. so today's battle
bids fair to be most sangunary.
The Canadians started from line

German artillery concentrated east of
Passchendaele shelled the Canadian

Never before has Santa Fe had an
election quite like that of today. The
secret ballot and voting booth were a
novelty to most of the voters, and in
several instances, voters refused to en-

at them. Women as well as men
worked at the polls or drove automo-
biles which brought the voters to the
polling places. Despite the hard
work, 1t was difficult to get out a
heavy vote. The Santa Fe chapter Of

That prohibition scored a sweep

amendment was adopted beyond doubt
by decisive majority.
Tax Amendment Apparently Lost.
Returns on the tax amendment

WOMEN JUBILATE
OVER GREAT VICTORY

New York, Nov. 6.-Women in this
city, rich and poor, who have stood
together in the fight for suffrage, to-
night shared each others unbounded
.nbilation at the headquarters of both
the state and city woman suffragt'
parties, where returns were read
amid scenes of enthusiasm at times
approaching hysteria.
For several hours after the polls
had closed steady stream of motor
vehicles brought anxious women eager
to learn whether suffrage would
again be defeated, but as the night
wore on and the returns began to
show gains everywhere, anxiety turn
ed to joy.
State headquarters was packed with
richly gowned women who feasted on
the returns posted. Each bulletin an
nounced was the occasion for indis-
criminate hand shaking, kissing, en-
bracing and congratulations of the
most voluble kind. AT the city head
quarters there were similar scenes.

greeting from Mrs. Carry Z. Chapman
Gait, for more than a score of years
champion of woman's suffrage,
Now all we've got to do is to roll
down the other side to complete vic.

States" she added.
Organization and intensive work
were responsible for the victory, Mrs.
Gait declared.
In her enthusiasm over the early
returns DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. a
suffrage worker for forty years, came
to the city headquarters to cheer the
women who had spent hours watching
the polls. She said she could scarcely
wait for morning to have a huge dia-
mond added to thirteen others set in
the Susan b. Anthony pin she wore
at her throat.

These returns showed an average
plurality of more than fourteen votes
for suffrage in each of the district
reporting. If this proportion should
be maintained by the districts unre-

Takes Dark View of Future,
He Says,


Copenhagen. Nov Elm the midst
of the general eXultation in Germany
over the victories on the Isonzo and
Riga fronts and the demands for re-
vision of the peace program in ac-
cordance with the new war map, Ger
man business classes are beginning to
obey the Injunction to consider the
commercial map as well. An increas-
ing amount of attention is devoted by
the newspapers to the growing diff
culties of re-establishing German for
eign trade after the war. Articles in
several newspapers, even Of pam
German views, are found almost every
day in which it is pointed out that
diplomatic breaks with China and
Central and South American repub-
lies, instead of being a source of
amusement on account of the military
unimportance of these nations, mean
the loss of Germany's hardwon COM
mercial position in these markets and
increase the difficulties Of rebuilding
foreign trade after the war.

ficulties will be virtually insuperable

of restricting public initiative. Some

and state there must be financial as
sistance in the post bellum offensive
against foreign markets.
The thought that German shipping
might be barred or restricted In the
ports of Germany's present enemies,
which has long been scoffed at by
shipping and export experts, now has
come home to the business world as
real menace. Discussions of peace
conditions, even in the most virulent
pam German war organ, emphasize
the necessity of again procuring for
German shipping the most favored ma
tion treatment in foreign harbors,
which was formerly enjoyed as vital
condition of the settlement after the
war.
Looking out for Trade.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the reform of the British consular
service, and the demand Is voiced that
measures be taken without delay to
bring the German consular and trade
Intelligence service up TO date and
that all preparations be made during
the war so the German trades may
have favorable start In the race to
secure raw materials the instant
peace is concluded.
The situation is realized with
especial keenness in Hamburg, where.
In repe ated articles by business ex-
perts the government has been warn
ed that the plans to promote the re-
covery of German exchange and keep
down prices by establishing an official
purchasing monopoly would merely
result in rival nations securing the
scanty world supply of foodstuffs and
raw materials.

Washington, Nov. 6.--Formal an

between the United States and Japan
in regard to China was greeted in dip

the momentous events of the war

the prosecution of the war against

the United States as regards Mexico
The text of the notes has been

Not an Armed Alliance.
The complete accord reached be-

it was authoritatively stated, does not
mean that an offensive and defensive

two countries such as exists between
Japan and Great Britain, although
both nations do pledge themselves to

Emphasis was laid in official dis

the agreement. TINS is the declara.

to the acquisition by any government
of any special rights or privileges

This, it was explained. was precise

United States by this declaration
bound themselves to see that China

MORE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY FOR
 RUSSIANS

PETROGRAD. Aug. % - Rapid pro gress is being made by the commis- sion newly appointed to reform that part of the penal law of 1902 which deals with violation of the principle of religious liberty conversion to an other religion by violence or threats and "perversion" to another religion by fraud or undue influence. !, The basis of this law was a distinc- tion, first, between orthodox and non orthodox Christians, and second, be- tween Christians generally and Mo hammcdans and heather. Voluntary convc sion from orthodoxy was pun ] ishaIlc under certain conditions. whereas voluntary conversion to or 1 thodoxy was not punishable. For con. version to orthodoxy by violence or
 threat the penalties were mild and. in practice were never enforced; and non Christians virtually were not at all protected against violent conver. sion
 The law now under consideration re. cognizes the complete liberty of all ] Christians. To emphasize this prin.
 riplo, the projected law abollshes the legal use of the word "heresy," and re
 places the legal term "perversion Iwith conversion"
 The new law will protect citizens against forcible conversion by impos. ing a penalty of Imprisonment not ex- Iceeding three years. The law will
 further deal with certain extremist sectarians such as the Skoptsi and others. which mutilate themselves and
 have even burned one another alive
 For such offences the penalty is i'm. prisonment in a fortress.
