WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEBATE

Dispute in House Regarding Allowing
 Fair Sex to Vote On Excise and
 Other Matters.
 | Hartford, April 1S-The question of woman suffrage on excise matters, in municipal elections and for presiden- tial electors, which have been much discussed by the general assembly were put before the house today when the unfavorable majority reports were taken up as the special order. The galleries were filled with women and there were no vacant seats on the floor.
 MT. Peasley of Cheshire, the repub- lican floor leader, opened the debate for the majority report.
 MT. Coe of Cromwell, the only com mittee member to favor suffrage and who made the minority report, fol- lowed with an argument for the bill after MT. Burke of East Hartford had withdrawn, at the suggestion of Speaker Heaiy. a motion to limit de- bate to five minute periods. MT. Shaw of Bedding spoke for suffrage as did MT. Hazeh of Haddam, who secured over MT. Peaseley's objections a mo- ton for a roll-call when the vote is taken. The general debate which was then begun lasted nearly two hours.
 With an explanation by Senator Klett and endorsement of it by Sena- tor O'Sullivan as a good bill, the senate today adopted the measure which is intended to end the practice resorted to by certain attorneys of seizing a person on writ and lodging him in jail, in cases in which damages are sought for assault, breach of promise, islander, and in some phases of litigation over labor matters.

but follow his instructions to the let ter. t5-
 As soon as the result of the bat tie between Soissons and Rheims was .known the order was given to attack. Punctually at 4:45 p. m. the French infantry went over'' well supported by powerful mass of artillery. They swept forward in magnificent style and in two hours the first line system had been captured. Later news came back that the French soldiers were carrying all before them and taking prisoners by the score. They seized Mont Carmillet.. Mont Haut and all the crests commanding the region. !. From their new positions the French nov look down upon Moron villiers and Nauroy. This Moron kvilliers chain of hills was regarded Nby all French soldiers who had been in the section as impregnable and it's dpture caused, the livliest. satisfac- ion to everybody. The seventy-fives followed up the infantry rapidly and were soon in action. They caught large bodies of the enemy, massing with the object of making diversion, and decimated them. According to onlookers such carnage had not been seen since the action of Charme Gap atsthe beginning of the war.
 On the right wing the struggle was equally to the advantage of the French, Auberive on which the left wing of the Champagne offensive of s19a5 broke fell speedily, as we'll. as the surrounding works. The French made especially good progress north of Auberive.
 At certain points the advance was close upon four, miles in depth. The latest news reaching Aris says the bat tie continued we'll into the night, the Germans counter attacking without success, and the Frcenh reconstruct ing the trench systems under cover sof their artillery.
 According to information from re- liable source the double offensive of the British north of Arras, of the French on the Aisne disarranged the German plans. Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. it Is declared, was pre- pairing an offensive against Riga and ZNNher against Italy while on the westSSn front, he we considering an aftemI< on Calais on the one hand and on Paris on the other. The allied western offensive spoiled all these by compelling him to bring large part of the effectives intended for the Rus sian and Italian fronts.
