EXPECT SUFFRAGE
TEST THIS MONTH

Suffrage leaders in and out OF the
Senate are looking forward to the
test on the proposed suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution which they
expect about the end OF this month.
Consideration of the amendment
September &c having been agreed on,
suffragists are anxious for a vote
as early as possible after that date.
No agreement on a date for actual
voting has been reached. The suf-
frage leaders have been anxious to
secure a vote before the election, and
they believe they will realize their
wishes.
Canvasses of the Senate show the
Situation as between the suffragists
and anti-suffragists is close, but SEN
ator Curtis, who is taking a promi-
nent part for suffrage and who has
canvassed the situation carefully,
says the amendment will win.
The influence of the President in
favor OF suffrage in recent months has
been a factor. Another factor in
bringing on a vote is the recent ac-
tion of the Republican caucus OF the
Senate, which went on record for a
vote this session.
For political reasons. Democratic
leaders do not like to take the re-
sponsibility of blocking a vote under
the circumstances.
With suffrage likely to be unloaded
from the shoulders OF Congress this
session and with bone dry" legisla-
tion expected. solons are expressing
qualification that they are about to
be relieved of two of the most
troublesome propositions they have
had for years.

BRUTAL TRICKS Of
HUN ARE EXPOSED

WITH THE BRITISH AMERICAN
of The Associated Press).-German
deviltry seemed to know no bounds in
the last days of the fighting on the
British front after the Hindenburg
line had been shattered. They attached
grenades to the bodies of dead Huns
left behind in the German retreat. so
that when the bodies were lifted the
grenades exploded, killing or wOunding
the bearers.
Near the town of lie Cateau. num-
Der of Australian stretcher bearers
We're killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German dead
from the field in front of an American
machine gun position. Thereafter no
Australian would put hand on a dead
German. In some cases the bodies
were dragged to their burial places by
means of a long rope which allowed
the stretcher bearers to keep out of
range Of any exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon the plan OF making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance a Boche prisoner WAS
summarily shot because he refused to
remove the body of one of his dead
companions. An examination OF the
body later led to the discovery that it
was mined. The German was aware
of this fact and refused to touch it.
In one small town evacuted by the
I Germans, many of the beds We're found
to be mined. An American officer
/ tired and worn by long and hard fight
ing, sought rest on a lounge in a room
I previously occupied by a German Of
T ficer. The lounge blew up and he was
instantly killed.
/ Another fofficer picked up a pair Of
field glasses left by the Germans and
was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands and blew
away part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making internal
machines mines and time fuses. and
there We're scarcely an area where the
electrical and engineering experts oil
the allies did not find some new form
of their fiendish ingenuity.

PREPARE PLANS FOR
1919 INFLUENZA PEST

CHICAGO, Dec. PLANS for com
batting another influenza epidemic
which is expected to sweep the country
in 1919 viii be considered by health
authorities from all parts of the United
States, Canada and South America at
the forty sixth annual convention of
the American Public Health associa-
ton which opens here December 9.
Members of the association say that
all the influenza epidemics since 1929
have been recurrent for from two to
three years after the initial outbreak
For this reason leading authorities feel
convinced that the visitation of 1918
will be repeated in 1919 and probably
in 1920. Also it is pointed out that in
previous epidemics the second and
third outbreaks have been more viru-
lent and attended by a higher mortality
rate than were the initial manifesto
tions.
1t was early in 1918. according to
DIR. w. A. Evans, former health COM
missioner of Chicgo, that the now So
called Spanish influenza made its ap-
pearance in Spain. Now Spain is hav-
ing its second outbreak. according to
DR.. Evans more virulent in form and
attended by an alarming death rate
methods used in combating the 1918
epidemic in the United States will be
thoroughly considered and plans out
lined for meeting any future emergen-
cy. Among those who will present pa :
perS and take part in the discussions
are Major W. H. Welch of the National
Medical corps: DR.. E. c. Rosenow OF
| the Mayo foundation; Dr. Herman
Biggs, commissioner of the New Yorl,
state department of health, and DR.. A
J. Mclaughlin assistant surgeon gen
eral of the United States public health
service.
| Besides consideration of influenza
many subjects of general interest per
/ tanning to public health during the re-
! construction period will be taken up
/ There viii be discussions regardine
