Women Voters m Arkansas.
 (New York Tribune, !

0.J
 Of the many recent grants of par tial suffrage to women. that in Ar kansas is the most curious. There by bill just signed, women are to have equal rights with men in party primaries. They must pay poll taxes, swear to support party candidates and otherwise possess the qualification cxacted of male voters
 The logic of this seems tritie strained. particularly the requirement. that the newly enfranchised women swear to support their party nom inees. which they may not do with out the right to vote at elections. Yet they gain practical advantage, for the primaries in that state are. in ef- feet, the elections. Last fall the vote for presidential electors was: demo- cratic, 112,OOO; republican, 49,OO0: for governor, democratic, 122, 900; republican 43,000.
 Thus, the women who participate in the primaries and exercise their new rights will actually aid in determ- ming sthe personnel of off1cialdom, and it seems reasonable to expect that after a short time full suffrage will come to them. In any case, this break in the ''solid South," with it's notorious prejudice against woman suffrage, Is an indication of the growth of the movement to enfran- chise women.

German Public Improved Physi-
 cally Reichstag Is Informed {

London, March 22.-The health of the German people is surprisingly good and infant mortality is lower than in peace time. according to vics- Chancellor Helfferich, as quoted in an Amsterdam despatch from Berlin 10 Reutera The vice. e-chanoellor, nd- dressing the Reichstag, said in part, according to this despatch:
 Our fears regarding the possible effects of restricted food supply are unfoundcd. Moreover. the health of the people is surprisingly good and infant mortality is lower than in peace time. N
 Our industries have fulfilled all ex- pectations. The railways have worked splendidly. The war boards have proved themselves equal to their gi- ganttc tasks. Much of what has been found by these boards to be useful can be employed in peace time. Tho criticism has been made that we did not start our economic mobilization Tn time. but none of you could have conceived the possibility either Of such a radical outcropping of inter- national laws by Great Britain and her reckless measures against neutraf1 or such powers of resistance on the part of Germany.

Tale Of Two Continents.


 The interesting story told by the Providence Journal of the experiences of a'German girl in this country. who was denounced to the authorities in Berlin by professor of chemistry in a New York educational institution as an enemy of the Germanic cause, Is important because it is the first case of it's kind among the multitude of Teutontc plots. The "mouchard," as this species of police spy is called in France and Germany, is familiar ad- junct of despotic governments. In France he fourished under the mon archy and the empire, when 1t was hardly safe to breathe ones own opinions in @ cafe, restaurant or draw ing room.
 In Germany only recently a former employe of the war ministry was de- nounced to the government by his most intimate friend for saying that the foreign office had caused docu- ments to be stolen from the admiralty in order to compromise Admiral von Tirpitx. This German girl of whom the Journal speaks came here from Dusseldorf as a teacher of German at Bryn Mawr. It seems that Americans raised a fund to provide < for such teachers from Germany, who are se- lected by the German government. In her intimate social circle the young lady-she is only twenty-one-occa- siOnally referred to conditions Tn Germany, which she described as terrible. She told how glad she was to escape them and to live here.
 where privation and suffering like that in Germany were unknown. Her
 remarks came to the notice of the German spy employed in an Amert- can university, and he promptly de- nounced the young lady to Herr Ministerial 1trelstor Schmidt'..in Ber- lin. His letter, which was sent in- ! closed to a friend in Stockholm was intercepted on it's way over, presum- ably by the British authorities. He was a very much surprised professor | when told that he had been found out. He made a lame explanation which will deceive no one.
 The time has come when every spy of this character must be rooted out of an American environment. Ameri- canism and spy service for Germany are incompatible in the free air of America Public sentiment will ap- prove drastic measures taken with ! these gentry. Their continued pres ence in our institutions of learning ! constitute an insult to the whole American people.

The Capture of Gomez. (New York Worldly

The latest revolution in Cuba will hardly survive the defeat and capture of General Gomez and his staff by the national forces. Ostensibly begun in the interest of Zayas, the unsuccessful candidate for president last year, the rebellion has been led by Gomez, and there can be no doubt that his pur- pose was wholly selfish.
 When Gomez was president, 19OS- IS, he made record as turbulent demagogue that has since helped him in his military activities. 1t was he who in the last weeks of his term. when the government was about to pass into the hands of the conserva- lives, headed by the present President Menocal, persuaded the congress to pass an amnesty bill which was a curiosity in legislation. Going far beyond forgiving political offenses, it provided for a general jail delivery and undertook to give immunity to certain ccrruptionists who feared prosecution by the new administra- tion.. On the vehement protests of the Washington government, the measure was finally vetoed and afterward re- enacted in proper form.
 President Menocal represents the new Cuba of constitutional rule, re- spect for life and property and sub- mission to the will of the majority. President Gomez. except when he was in ofice, has always stood for the old Cuba of revolt, of disorder, of dis respect for law and of instant resort to arms as a cure for every grievance. Naturally, he has rallied to his side the ignorant. idle and vicious. Tn this instance he may have had German support As . whole, Cuba is we'll governed, immensely prosperous and inclined to peace. With Gomez In, custody, its disorders should soon end

Immigration Gaining. (Cleveland Leader,)

Gradually but surely immigration is increasing. It is still far below the normal level, but it is steadily mov- ing upward, and it is much above the lowest, point touched after the war began.
 Last year the number of immi- grants entering the United States was 356,5S7 In 1915 the arrivals num- bered only 26S,67S. The increase was nearly 97,000. It Is necessary to take account also of the emigration of both years. It was a much more im- than it was in 1916.
 The emigrants of 1915 were 2S4,- 636. Last year they number only 164,784. The net gain through im- migration was about 190,0OO in 1916, whereas in 1915 the emigrants out numbered the immigrants by 26,0O0. It will be seen that the conditions changed radically in the direction fa- vorable to the United States at a time when the need of workers was very urgent.
 If this country is forced into the war the gains through immigration will naturally be affected materially, but the influence of the new 4immi- grafton law is likely to be much more important. Between the harder tests to which the immigrants must be subjected and possibilities of the for eign relations of the country, the outlook for immigration Is, not so good as the record of last year. But Q return to the loss suffered in 1915 is improbable.

Medical Men for the Army:
-ew York Medical Journal

(New York Medical Journal)
 An army of 5OO,00O would require the services of all the medical officers which we now have in the regular army, the National Guard and in the Medical Reserve corps, absorbing our entire supply of trained medical off, cers. An army of 5,00O,00O would re- quire the services of 35,000 medical officers, who would have to be taken from civil life not only without any training. but without any men to train them, for the first 500,0O0 ordered to duty would employ all the trained military medical officers now in the United States and still fall far shcrt of the required quota. These figures do not take into consideration the needs of the navy, which are al- most as great and quite as urgent as those of the army. A consideration of these statistics should make plain the necessity for g. widespread and immediate enrolment in the medical reserve corps. <. 84ss <
