WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DISPLACED BY THE
army BILL T0DVY
Bitter Wrangle Is Finally End
ed by Decision Of
Chamberlain

Washington, June 27.-By a practic-
ally unanimous vote today the senate
took up the woman suffrage amend
ment to the constitution, after having
temporarily blocked it.
Senator Poindexter, continuing a
statement which Senator Lodge had in
terrupted by demand for the regular
order of business, declared suffrage
for woman is now accepted by even the
most hardheaded men as "wise and
justifiable"
Senator Reed, Missouri, an oppo-
nent of suffrage, began a fiibuster in
the senate against vote on the suf-
frage resolution. Reed announced he
was prepared to talk indefinitely on a
motion of Senator Jones, New Mexico,
to sidetrack the army bill for further
consideration of suffrage.
At 2 p. m. the suffrage resolution
was automatically displaced by the $l2,
000,000,000 army bill, the unfinished
business of the senate. But for some
time debate continued unchecked on
suffrage until Senator Chamberlain,
in charge of the army bill, and a
friend of suffrage, demanded the army
measure be taken up and suffrage laid
aside.

Definite Indications Of Bet

Dramatic Appearance Of Rus

|. Press Comment
By Ed L. Keen

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, June 27.-Alexander Keren-
sky, Russia's "man of destiny" told
friends today there are definite indica-
tions that order will speedily be re,ss-
tablished in Russia with the aid Of
the allies and America, resulting in the
creation of an "east front" again.
He said il is positive that Russia is
ready to join the alies, as soon as the
yoke of bolshevism is thrown off.
The dramatic and unexpected appear
ance of Alexander Kerensky at the la
Dor party conference yesterday raised
many questions concerning his future
actions and his connection with the al
lied policy toward Russia, which may
be explained in his speech befGe the
conference today.
81 bear witnes that the Russian peo-
pie viii never recognize the Brest- Lii
tovsk peace treaty, which aims at ths
annihilation of Russia,' Kerensky de-
clared in his address before the confer
lence.
~ consider the bolsheviki as Ger
man pawns, Russia has lost practically
all the freedom she won Through the
revolution. She has gone back 20 the
same czardom., W
The Mail says the government did not
invite Kerensky to England, but that
he asked the right Of asylum as pri-
vate citizen.
However," continues the Mail, cit
Is wondered whether Kerensky brought
an invitation for allied intervention
from the Russian moderate socialists. ("
1t is reliably reported that Ksrensky
favors Intervention by all the allies
even though one country furnishes most
of the troops-under the slogan "Fight-
ing Germany, while not interfering
with Russia s internal affairs,
Kerensky is said to believe that al
lied intervention will unite the present
warning factions opposed to the bolshe-
wiki and is reported to have intimated
that Russian military assistance is pos
sible, If It was used only in defensive
way.
