of the woman suffrage resolution,
probably tomorrow, is expected to
pave the way for three day re-
cesses of congress while senators
speak for the Liberty loan and rep
resentatives look after their politi-
cal fences back home.
The suffrage resolution comes up
in the senate again tomorrow with
prospects of definite action. either
by final vote and it's defeat or its
withdrawal. Chairman Jones of the
woman suffrage committee said to-
night no plans had been made other
than to call up the resolution again
and decide, after a final poll Of
forces, whether to press for vote
or have it laid aside.
With the suffrage question set
tied, the senate has little left on its
immediate calendar to interfere with
the Droposed recesses.

The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna,

available as to whether we shall try
to enter Cambria. but it is certain
we are in a position to make that
town untenable for the Germans.
O~ guns are trained upon the city
and if their fire is withheld, it will be
from desire not to damage the
town unless it is absolutely neces-
sary.
Prisoners say that with the ex-
ception of the western outskirts
Cambria is in a habitable condition.
Up to 3 o'clock Saturday the
prisoners collected by the first and

pendent, who has just returned from
trip to the front, visited many vii
lagos and found the peasantry re-
joicing at their deliverance from
The bolsheviki. Most of them were

cent Of the Russian population. One
OF the older men of a large group
doing military construction work for
the allies and acting as the spokes-
man, said:
Money is no good to US and we
are glad to work for the food the
allies are giving US. The bolsheviki
stole our cows and everything we
had. Now we are happy.
"We know we are like children.
We need good, kind people like
the allies to protect US. We hate
the Germans because we know from
our brothers in the south and west
that they are cruel. They took our
lands, grain and cows"
Americans returning to the Dvina
front with bolsheviki prisoners
brought stories of new cruelties and
murders. They told of one instance
where the mutilated bodies of three
British sailors who had become sep
arated from their command had been
found.
Most Of the prisoners brought

Danes Ridge. The German posi-

ment.
French Headquarters on the
Aisne, Saturday, Sept. 29.-(Reut-
er's.)-The Germans have begun a
retirement from the important Laf-
faux Malmaison plateau, from which
the Chenin Des Danes runs east
ward to Craonne, and the sources Of
the Ailette.
After fighting desperately for
weeks to retain the approaches to
the massif OF St. Gobain and Laon,
the enemy is abandoning them.
This group of heights for four years
has formed the central pillar of the
German line in France. The strate-
gy of Marshal Foch compelled the
enemy. as it did on the Marine, to
withdraw his center before the allied
attacks to the north and the east
forced him to move back on the
wings. The retreat is one of the
first and direct results of the French,
American and British offensives OF
the last three days.
