Hollweg

Berlin. Mar. 2s.--Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Iloliweg may decide to
grant electoral reforms In Germany
looking toward increased democracy
In the empire before the end OF the
war. according to significant hint
contained In the Cologne Gazette to-
day.
The Gazette declared that the chan.
celior's speech OF March II in which
he declared In favor OF an extension
OF popular control and promised such
a readjustment after the war should
end. was not made as q result Of the
revolution In Russia. because II was

ready been taken against Germany.
Whether he will go so far as he did
In regard to the armed ship resolu-
tion and abandon his committee
leadership to Senator Hitchcock Is

committee is working on state Of

has read his message.

gress
In addition to outlining the course
OF events which has led up to the

IOWA WOMEN MAY.
VOTE Upon SUFFRAGE If

Des Moines. Mar, 2S.--A referen-
dun vote by women exclusively on
the equal suffrage question is pos
sibility for Iowa. The state senate
today, without word OF debate. and
by vote of S4 to Z, passed a Joint
resolution for such referendum at
the regular state election in 1918.
When the question OF re-submitting
the women suffrage issue to the male
voters of Iowa passed the senate last
week, majority OF the members
signed an agreement to pass
woman's referendum resolution. Both
propositions must be acted upon by
the house Of representatives and in
case of the state constitutional am
ehdment for equal suffrage also by
the next legislature,

Bringing NAVY TO
FULL man STRENGTH

Washington. Mar. 28.-President
Wilson has taken all the steps within
his power to bring the navy to its
maximum man-strength for the pres
ent. He may still ask congress that
q be raised to 100000 men.
He still has several ways open
whereby he can bring the land forces
to greater strength. though specula-
tion is that he WIN get his main in
crease by asking for volunteers. or
by having congress pass a compulsory
training law.
The means whereby the larger
army could be obtained are:
Increase OF the militia from $780,
600 men to full war strength-450.-
600.
Increase OF the army from 120, 900
to war strength-l7O.0 .000--by bring
ing company units to their entire
quota.
Increase Of the army by adding at
once all the annual increments desig-
mated by the last army bill. This
would give 215.000 in all.
Call for volunteers.
Have congress pass universal SER
vice measure which would probably
be so shaped as to furnish 500. 900
youths.
Just what is in the presidents
mind is not known. Military men
say, however. that as plans are now
shaping the war department is con-
sidering its enlargement measures on
the idea that "the bitterest struggle
this nation has ever known may be
our part"
These men say the country ought
not to be misguided In its view that
real war--and not merely police
work---must sooner or later be the
portion OF the big force which will
probably be demanded of congress
next week.
The question OF army recruiting is
kept in the background of public at
tention for the moment, so that the
navy may be brought to full strength.
Nothing must hamper getting the
full navy strength, and getting 1t
now, authorities say.
