TSURGA, Japan, Nov 8-Strong-

burden of keeping Russia supplied

and Canada.
At the docks here, the principal
port of exchange between Japan and
Russia, and the halfway point be-

They smoke cigarettes and sing as
they work. Bare-legged, with short

and packages that would seem certain
to bear them down.
Many of the supplies for Russia's
armies pass through this port and the
women dock laborers add one more
picturesque touch to the natural
scenic beauty of the harbor Of Tsur-

SUFFRACELAW
HELD invalid
In Indiana Because Constitution
Defines Voters as Male
Citizens. y

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 8.-The state
supreme court has ruled that the In
diana woman suffrage law is invalid
because the state constitution defines
voters as male citizens''
The court held the question before
it to be constitutional only and did
not take up the contentious OF the in
terests attacking the law that to per-
init women to vote would cause great
additional expense and much confu-
sion.
In it's decision, the court said the
right Of suffrage was not natural
or inherent right, and was a matter for
the people to decide in their capacity
as creators of the constitution or or
ganic law. Discussing the argument
of the lawyers for the women that
the legislature could give women the
privilege Of voting regardless of the
provision of the constitution that
electors must be male citizens. 21
years. old or more, the court said If
this contention was correct the legis-
lature could pass a law permitting
persons less than FL years old to vote.
Opponents of woman's suffrage are
hopeful that this decision.. wilr result
in setting aside similar legislation in
states whose constitution limits suf-
frage Notwithstanding. North Dakota
is cited as one of these states.

National Defense Committee Re.

Approves Conclusions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s-Govern-
quickly relieving the housing problem
which in many communities is him
dering war work, is recommended in
a report to the national defense coun-
Gil by its committee on housing. The
report, made public Saturday, has the
approval of President Wilson.
In it's report, the committee, of
which Otto NJ. Eidlitz. a New York
architect, is chairman, says:
1.-THE testimony and records OBJ
tanned by the committee on housing
clearly indicates that with few ex-
ceptions, the government contracts for
ships, guns ammunition and other
war materials have thus far been
made with little or no government
provision for the housing necessities
incident to a rapid and large increase
Of labor
'"The situation may be we'll in
stanced by one New England manu-
featuring city where 16 concerns are
engaged upon war contracts. It was
disclosed that nearly 10000 additional
men, for whom there now exists prac-
tically no living quarters, will be re-
quired by Jan. if the plants are to
run to their full capacity.
zone great steel company, already
mainly employed with government
contracts, has. extensive additions to
its present plant approaching COM
pletion. The testimony disclosed that
unless immediate provision be made
for necessary housing, the possible
production Of guns, gun carriages and
other munitions will be curtailed
fully one-third.
MANY communities and individual
industries are now taking care of
their own housing requirements.
Others, where there is serious con-
gestion, are preparing to do so; but
there are a number which will need
financial assistance in house building
if full production capacity is to be
had.
"In general, the. committee on
housing is convinced that under pro-
per safeguards the government
should give quick financial aid to
such Industries or committees as can
clearly demonstrate their right to re-

PERSECUTION
IS UNAVA|L|NG
Union Te|egraphers Again
ThWart Western Unions e.
forts to Break Strike,

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-The Western
Union Telegraph company did it's ut
most to defeat the strike of union
telegraphers against the Great North
Western Telegraph company of Can
ada, says the Commercial Telegra-
piers journal. The Western Union
endeavored to rush several hundred
strikebreakers across the border, but
it's effort failed because Of the prompt
action of immigration authorities on
both sides Of the line.
''While asking the United States
government to exempt telegraphers
from war service because they are
needed to- carry on. the work Of the
nation," says the Unionists' journal,
"officials Of that company had no
scruples about ordering large num-
bers of their aggregation Of scabs to
make an expedition into Canada in an
effort to prevent esta blishing living
wage.
1.-THE Western Union Telegraph COM
pany is powerful institution. The
management believes it has unlimited
power, and so far as the telegraphers
are concerned the management is
right. Just how long this will con-
tinue to be the case is an important
question for. every telegrapher in the
United States and Canada, since the
eventual freedom of our craft de-
pends upon the answer.
"When men and women dare not
organize for fear Of losing their jobs,
when an employer has the power to
determine what natural rights en-
ployes may enjoy there can be no real
freedom, the: worker becomes his
slave.
"The Western Union has been
baked in its efforts to destroy our in
dustrial freedom. In spite Of the
years through which we have been
prosecuted by the. officials of that
company, we still stand ready to do
battle for the greatest heritage that
man can enjoy: Liberty, freedom and
democracy-three ideals that can
never die"

The lyCEUM.

'The Italian Battle Front" the first
official war films of the Italian gov
ernment, which will begin a weeks
engagement at the Lyceum theater
next Monday, November IL, playing
matinee daily at 2:30, one perform
ance at night at $3.50, were photo
graphed on the firing line under the
direction of the supreme general staff.
They show that Italy has an enor.
nous army numbering 100000.
This army is composed of hardy, fear
less and never-say-die fighters. The
Bersaghlieri, the Alpini and the Nea-
politan regiments will compare in
brilliance Of fighting attainments with
with those of any other country now
engaged at war.
That to oppose the Austrian affens-
i've in the Trentino two years ago she
modified a new army of half a mill
lion men, completely equipped it,
and moved to the front in seven
days.
That, were her trench lines care
fully ironed out, they would extend as
far as from New York to Salt Lake
City
That, instead Of digging these
trenches she has had to blast most of
them from solid rock
That she has mounted eight-inch
guns on ice-sleds nearly two miles
above the level Of the sea, and in po-
sitions in which a skilled mountaineer
would find it perilous to climb
That many of her soldiers are living
like Arctic explorers in caverns of
ice and snow
That, in the lowlands of the Isonzo
river these same soldiers have fought
in water to their waists, while the
water for the armies fighting In the
trentino has had to be brought up
from thousands of feet below
And, most important of all, that
she has kept engaged some forty Aus
trian divisions (about 100000 men)
a force sufficient to have turned the
scale in favor Of the Central powers
on any of the other fronts.
To sum it all up, one might quote
the words of E. Alexander Powell,
the famous war correspondent, who
said after his visit to the italian front:
AFTER what have seen over there, I
feel like lifting my hat in respect and
admiration to the next italian see."

FOR new POLAND
Hereditary Monarch y Of Catholic
|aith;; Diet to Elect First
Ruler.

BERLIN, via London, Nov. S.-The
constitution of the new Polish state
is a document contai ming nine para
graphs and ISL articles. Prof. Cybi-
chowski Of Warsaw, who was COM
missioned to make the draft, which
was approved by former state coun-
Gil, states that the charter contains
the following provisions:
Poland to be an independent con-
stitutional state.
In view of the fact that an over
whelming percentage Of the popula-
ton is of the Roman Catholic faith
it is ordered that the ruling house be
of the same faith.
Catholicism is. prescribed as being
the official religion to be recognized
in connection with state functions and
official ceremonies. Beyond that full
freedom of religious belief is vouch-
safed.
The state is to be a hereditary
monarchy, the diet to elect the ruler
and control the dynasty's affairs and
successorship. If the king marries
without the consent of the diet he
forfeits his crown. This provision is
intended to preclude the possibility Of
a feminine member of an unfriendly
power attaining the throne.
The king is obliged to reside con-
stantly at home and is not permitted
to be represented through a substi-
tute. authority or be sovereign Of an
other state at the same time.
This disposes Of the rumor that
Emperor Karl will be proclaimed king
Of Poland.
Parliament will consist Of two
chambers, the lower house to be
elected on the basis of a. general Sc
cret diet ballet Of one deputy to
every 10000 inhabitants. Half of the
senate will be elected, the other half
to be appointed by the king. Deputies
will serve five years and senators ten.

[AKESEAMEN WIN
RECOGNITION OF:
THEIR DEMANDS.
Discharge Book SJs1em|s Abo|-
ished By:FedefaI Shipping
Board,

In the abolishment Of the welfare
plan and the discharge. book system
put in operation by the Lake Car
riers' association, the Lake Seamens
union has won a great victory, accord
ing to a Communication received
from Secretary v. A. Olander of Chi
cago. These questions were the
principal issues, the non-settlement Of
which, resulted in strike order
being issued for Sept. 1. The =abol-
ishment was brought about through
an official order of the federal ship
ping board. =:
The letter from Mr. Olander. states
that Robert p. Bass, ex-governor OF
New Hampshire, was selected by thei
federal board to investigate the well
fare plan and the overtime question,
and, as instructed visited many lake
ports, talked to officers and repre-
sentatives of the affiliated unions:
He reported the result of this investi-
cation before a meeting of the off,.
cials Of the board at Washington and
as a result the discharge book sys-.
tenn was abolished
1t was also decided by the board
that certain features of the discharge
book system were of value to both
the management of the shipping in
dustry and to the men from which
crews are drawn, and to preserve
these fea lures the board is of the
opinion that system of certifi-.
cates''is possible substitute for the
discharge book system. This certifi-
cate. system follows the line suggested. |.
to the board by the members of the
union to meet the claim by Lake
Carriers that discharge books were
really based on discharges issued in
deep water trade, and means separ-
ate discharges issued under the sup
ervision of the government on all
vessels.
The matter of overtime work and
pay is under further consideration by
the board, which desires to work out
and put into effect a plan for taking
up and promptly adjusting grievances
as they may arise. Believing that the
Lake Carriers association, the ship
ping companies who are not members
of the association, and the men en-
ployed on both classes Of boats have
an interest in the decision of these
matters the board has invited repre-
sentatives of these interests to be
present at the meeting of the board
at Washington on Nov. 13.
It is expected that at this meeting
the questions under dispute and which
caused the trouble early this fall
will be cleared up satisfactorily to
everyone concerned.

BUCKWHEAT RECIPES.

The present high price Of flour has
given everybody the desire to use all
available grains for food. Buckwheat
has always filled the mind Of the
housewife as only griddle cake mix
ture, when in truth it may be used in
many ways to save on flour. Its nu-
tritive properties are nearly the same
as wheat, it contains less protein
but has slightly higher carbohydrate
content and more fat than wheat. AS
it is slightly laxative in it's tendency.
1T is especially valuable to a large
number Of people. And the .surpris-
Ing thing about buckwheat is that it
makes a good breakfast cereal and
may be used for breading fish, chops
and such foods. One great disadvan-
tage which can be easily overcome is
Its habit of Jumping, so it must be
mixed with coarser grains or cold
water before hot water is added or the
Jumps will have to be strained out.
Buckwheat Mush.-Take two cup
fuls of milk and two and a half cup
fuls Of water with two teaspoonfuls
OF salt. When boiling stir in cupful
of buckwheat mixed with a little of
the cold liquid, stir and cook until
smooth. Cook in a double boiler 80
minutes.
Buckwheat Brown Bread. - Take
four cupfuls Of buckwheat flour, one
cupful of wheat flour, and a yeast
cake dissolved in a half cupful of
1ukeWarm water, two cupfuls of milk.
one cupful Of molasses, two table,
spoonfuls of shortening and tea
spoonful Of salt
Buckwheat Gems.-Take a cupful
each of buckwheat flour and wheat
flour, one tablespoonful Of melted but
ter, one egg, a cupful of milk, a half
teaspoonful of salt and four teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. Mix and bake
in hot buttered gem pans.
Buckwheat Cookies.-Take a half
cupful of shortening, one cupful of
sugar, two eggs, and one and half
cupfuls Of buckwheat flour Mix we'll,
roll out, cut in shapes, sprinkle with
