Huns Refuse To Guarantee Free Pass
age to the Polish Army.

Copenhagen, March 29.-The full
text of the German reply concerning
the landing of Polish troops at DAN
zig shows that Germany, made
point that it did not undertake to give
free access to the Polish army to West
Prussia in the armistice agreement
with the entente powers. The reply
says:
"Since the conclusion of the armi-
stice the entire situation in Posen,
West Prussia and Danzig has entirely
changed
Offering the ports of Stettin, Koe-
nigsberg, Memcl or Libau the German
government says that "All necessary
facilities for the speediest possible
landing and transit of General Bal
ler's army to Poland will be provided"
From the standpoint of railroad
facilities" the reply adds, THE routes
from these cities lead more speedily to
the goal without entailing interruption
of transportations of foodstuffs to
Poland"

would have meant if the loan quota
had not been subscribed.
In his eloquent plea to have his de-
murrer sustained, the attorney for Mr..
MacLennan told the court that every
person in Topeka was interested in
the subscription of every other To-
pekan-that the knowledge of whether
or not Topekans bought bonds was of
much more interest to Topekans-ten
thousand times more interest than
was the knowledge of the fact that
Flanagan was fighting his home town
to the people of New Orleans He
brought out the fact that If every
man in Topeka had done as Decker
did, not a dollar would have been
raised in the fourth liberty loan drive
and this community would have been
disgraced for all time.
An Individual Matter.
He made it plain that every person
in Topeka was vitality interested in
whether or not Decker and others had
subscribed because every time an in
dividual failed to subscribe it meant
that those who were doing their duty
would have to do more and would
have to assume the burdens of nom
subscribers to insure success of the
drive.
McKeever reminded the court that
both Burrow and Biby testified every
known means was used to make peo-
Pile buy bonds and that committees
were used and newspaper publicity de-
manded not for those who voluntarily
did their duty but in order that those
who were failing to do so might be
made to subscribe.
In the course of the argument men
like Decker and Flanagan were COM
pared with men in charging battle

ions and refused to go forward and

WOMAN PROVES RIGHT
She Should Have Suffrage After
Showing Self Worthy of 1t.

st. Louis. Mo, March 2e.-The
AE-erican woman has proven her
right to general suffrage, and in states
having suffrage she has proven her
self worthy of that right, Governor
Henry ]. Allen of Kansas declared
last night in addressing the convention
Of the National American Woman Suf-
frage association.
& She has proven to us conclusively
that she can be both citizen and a
woman in the highest sense of both
words" he said.
The governor paid a high tribute to
the part taken by American women
in the war.
: Il believe that one of the great by
products of the war will be the new
Status which womanhood in all the
world has achieved thru sacrifices
and suffering" he said. From this
time on, the ancient argument that
suffrage takes woman from her nat
ural sphere and throws her into polit-
Zeal activities which affect her deli
gate sensibilities cannot be used ex-
cept- by humorists. The truth which
must stand out is that her war activi-
ties have given her a BACKGROUND so
full of conclusive argument that no
reasonable man may stand against 1t. ~
Out There in Kansas.
S "Out in Kansas where woman has
had local suffrage for more than a
nuarter of q century and the right of
general suffrage for several years. she
has proven conclusively that her in
3luence in the electorate is safe and
same the speaker continued. "Po-
iitics in the state are cleaner for her
presence Every moral issue is as
sured, In the presentation both of
candidates and of issues the parties
show%a lively appreciation of the
higher standards which the presence
of three hundred thousand women
voters demands. 1t cannot be charged
that women do not take their suffrage
Seriously. In their club life they nc
longer consider exclusively artistic
literary and social questions, but study
those questions which call for political
determination.
: ANY statesman who would hold
back any longer the inevitable recog-
bition of woman's rights has lost step
With the march of great events"
? Governor Allen, in an address be-
fore the Tuesday club. attacked the
system of censorship used by the
United States with reference to letters
