The call for the convention is as
follows:
1.-The past year in Minnesota has
been the most tragic in it's history. 1t
has seen it's sons march away to the
great war, many of them never to
return. In common with the rest of
the world, a dangerous sickness has
spread over its cities and towns and
countryside, claiming hundreds of VIC
TINS. And its GROWING and peculiar
woe has been the forest fires which
have devastated some of our fairest
land, which destroyed a thousand lives
and the homes Of thousands Of our
citizens.
1--WE. are a stricken people and vet,
in spite of all, it is a time for thanks
giving" .: >
1.-The Great War is over: Our Min
nesota boys have played a. noble and
thrilling part in 'averting the danger
that threatened civilization. Those
left in the fire swept regions are maxi
ing a brave stand against the forces
of Encouragement and despair. They
are rebuilding their homes and taking
while our citizens are ral1ying to their
assistance with sympathy and energy.
"A Strong determination and zeal
has arisen to build a Better civiliza-
|.tion. Women will be partners with
men in this reconstruction as they
have been in the sorrows and labors
that are past.
"They will need nightly the too1-
the ballot-that will make their aims
and opinions effective, that will give
power to the viewpoint of mothers and
teachers and industrial workers.
THE end of the long road of OUR
suffrage association is in sight. sur
cause is. gaining momentum day by

war, our victory, when it comes, will
come suddenly.
Three states-Michigan, South Da
kota and Oklahoma-have rolled up
great majorities in favor of suffrage
amendments; and in Louisiana, the
first southern state to have a referen-
dunn vote on woman suffrage, the
amendment received favorable vote
throughout the state only to be de-
feated by the vote in New Orleans.
1.-THE Federal Suffrage Amendment
is pending in the United States senate
having been: passed by a two-thirds
vote in the house of representatives.
The recent elections indicate the final
passage of the amendment in congress
before many months.
1--WE must see to it that our Mime
sofa Legislature does its share in help
ing to enfranchise the women of the
country by duly ratifying the amend
ment"

PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE
An Interruption To The Peace Pro

port Upon The Block That
Has Occurred.

Petrograd.-The chances OF sep
arate peace between Russia and the
Central Powers being effected seemed
remote, because of what are regarded
as Germany's unreasonable demands.
Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign
minister, and his associates take the
stand that the Baltic provinces are In
reality under military pressure while
they continue to be occupied by Ger
many, and that their votes with re.
spect to peace must be ignored.
The Russian delegation upon its re-
turn from Brest-Litovsk laid before
the Council Of Commissioners at PET
orgrad Germany's demands, which
caused amazement and the declaration
that the council was not favorable to
acceptance An elaboration OF the
German position In. letters and state
ments which followed the general
statement of terms showed that tho
Germans hold that Poland, LithuaniA.

peace terms proposed and insist that
they shall not vote again.
The Germans also explained.

many cannot evacuate Riga, Libau

otherwise Germany's enemies might
assist Ukraine or other disaffected sec
tions in opposition to the Central
Powers.

turned to Petrograd and reported to q

committee OF Soldiers and Workmen's
Delegates and the Petrograd Council
Of Soldiers and Workmen's Deputies
the progress of the negotiations with
the AustroGermans at Brest-Litovsk.
NJ. Kameneff, member of the Rus
sian delegation, read the German
terms, which he characterized as
showing the positive annexation plans
OF the Central Powers, and he de-
clared they were unacceptable in their
present form. He added that the
terms had not been discussed.
'If after the resumption of negotia.
tions," the delegate said, "the Ger
mans insist upon these terms Russia
will conclude peace not with the Ger.
man imperialists, but with the repre-
sentatives of the people, the Social.
lists of Germany"
