WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELR, Oct. 26.--With every hour
today there grew evidence that General
Petain's stroke on the .Aisne had inflict-
ed on Germany her greatest defeat Of
1917.
Demoralized by the trip-hammer blows
of the great French machine the Ger
mans today were abandoning their guns
in an effort to retreat across the marshy
Ailstte valley and the Aisne and Disc
canal. Fighting with desperation of
men who know they are beaten the en-
emy gave way before the French wedge
until today it had been jammed more
than three miles into the pivotal base
of the German line cuving around the
western extremity of the Chemin des
Danes.
Total captures Of men reached far
more than 5000. More than 100 guns
have been taken so far. Several hund-
red trench mortars an machine guns
are now included in this count.

Indianapolis. Oct. 26.-
The Indiana Supreme court
today affirmed the decision
of the lower court and held
unconstitutional the law
passed by the last legisla-
ture granting the vote to
women.
Judges Spencer. Meyers and Larry
concurred in the decision and Harvey
disagreed. Spencer wrote the decision.
Judge Larry. althoug.4 agreeing in the
conclusion did not agree in the reason
ing through which il was reached. The
decision IS an affirmation of the decis-
ion handed down by Judge Rockford in
Marion county superior court
The decision will have vital eject
on municipal elections which viii be
held throughout Indiana early in No
vember. on account of the decision it
is probable that women viii not be able
to vote for six years in the state as
that long period is required to change
the constitution
The court declared that the constitu-
uon is so specific in setting out the re-
quirements of the voters that il the leg
islature has the right TO grant suffrage
1t has the right to extend suffrage to
persons under p and to aliens.

EXTRA!
WOMEN CAN'T
VOTE NOV. 9TH

The entire suffrage question centers
around the word male" in Section 2.
Article Of the constitution In this
section the qualifications for voters are
set out. The decision of the court also
applies to the board of school commits
sioners and declares that women shall
not have the right to vote for these Of
fees. although it had been believed that
women would be able to vote in these
cases.
Judge Spencer declared the case re-
solves itself into a question of whether
or not the general assembly has the
right under any circums tRnces to extend
the right of suffrage to any person not
provided for in the constitution.
He said: The inquiry thus suggest
ed, although of vital importance. is
purely one of constitutional interpreta-
ton and no matter how we feel or think
about the principal of universal suffrage
the solution of the question before us
may not rest or be influenced by con-
siderations of soc..~ - ~ ~, pSlitical
economy, but must be reached in strict
accordance with recognized canons OF
constitutional construction.
"As has been declared the right Of
suffrage is not natural or inherent
right but a political provision and il is
held only by those on whom it is he
slowed even by virtue Of express con-
stitudonal grant or through authorized
legislative provision" SAYS the higher
court.

FROM
NEPHEW IN
IN FRANCE

In a letter written Somewhere in
France" to Captain William McAvoy of
East Chicago from his nephew. Joseph j.
McMann, who is a member of Company
A, of the 10th United States Engineers.
Mr.. McMann gives vivid idea of con-
ditions at the front and the weakened
condition of Germany shown by the
number of mere boys taken as prisoners
by the French armies. The letter in
fuI is as follows.
Somewhere in France.
Dear Uncle:
Just few lines to let you know that
everything is coming fine l have not
received an answer from my last letter
to you; thought perhaps that YOU had
been sick. Had a letter from home last
week and some papers this week. We
now have our Y. NJ c. A. tent open and
it is certainly fine. They have an or
gan and phonograph besides plenty of
reading matter, The boys give some
kind of an entertainment a couple of
times a week. Have some very good
boxing bouts and some very good tall
ent-- l see by the papers that the Sox
have the pennant won. We get the
Paris edition of the New York Herald
here and can now keep pretty well
posted. However, I think New York
will be the champs all right. The
there a part of the letter was cut out
by the censor) is all over now. so there
will be a big supply OF lads this win
ter over here. The bunch like the
French wine as our drinking water is
poor and has to be boiled and it is not
very refreshing out in the sun The
beer is very good, not as heavy as in
the States, The German prisoners seem
to be rather surprised that the Ameri-
cans are over here. They must be kept
in ignorance of what is going on at the
front: lot of them are just kids that
have been taken from the first line
trenches and are glad they are prison
ers. They say conditions are very bad.
crops being a failure in Germany VIII
write soon again. with best regards,
Your nephew.
