DER says the address. In the year
1918 no less than sixty-seven persons
were done to death without trial or any
process Of law, having ben denied the
right to day in court accorded by the
federal and state constitutions to all
citizens.
cit is well known that the innocent
with the guilty suffer the cruel infic-
tons of mob violence. Mobs have even
invaded court rooms and prisons to
seize and murder prisoners whose pun;
ishment had already been fixed. Early
in 1919, a hospital was invaded by g
mob, and the attack resulted in death
from shock of a patient that d. alfer T T
ated upon.

Foodships a Possibility.

If the "snowball" succeeds in at
tracing more and more troops as it
advances we shall in all probability
send in foodships. In that case it is a
gamble whether the knowledge of
the presence of plenty of food will
induce the rest of the red army to
mutiny against Trotsky or whether
the largely superior number of
troops at Trotsky's disposition If
they are not needed for parrying the
Kolchak and northern thrusts will
possess a sufficiently good morale
to be thrown against Petrograd.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. June q
Leon Trotsky Is massing an enor-
nous number of troops to meet the
thrust from Esthonia. Passenger
traffic on all the railways leading
from central Russia has been stopped
to let troop trains pass. The Initial
success of the Esthonian thrust was
due to surprise and the speedy land
ing Of a force put ashore under the
guns Of entente warships on the west
coast of Luga bay. No British.
French. American. Italian or Belgian
troops are in the ranks of the ad-
vancing army. the spearhead OF which
is a Russian force under Col. Balak-
hanov.
ADVANCE Is Two-Headed.
The advance is two-headed. The
southern column has been hurrying
eastward along the hamburg Gatchina
railway. 1t is now only a few kflo-
meters outside of Gatchina and is be-
ginning to turn north beelnie Tor
Petrograd. Its path. however. Is bar
red by the strong hill forts at Kras-
noe Selo. on which the bolsheviki are
reported to- be falling back. The
northern column is trying to envelop
the Krasnys Gorka fortress and cut
it off from the Oranienbaum coast
road to Petrgrad.
This anti-bolshevist thrust Is
"snowball" movement. pure and sim
Pile There is no pretense the present
force can reach. take and hold Petro-
grad by its own exertions. Every
thing depends upon the calculation
that as it advances Trotsky's troops
will mutiny and desert and that a
large proportion of the prisoners
captured will be found to be anti
bolshevist in sentiment. and will
readily side with the allies.

May Take Some Time to Ratify.

Although supporters Of the measure
were jubilant at the action Of Con-
gress and confident of final success,
there is division of opinion among
leaders as to whether the ratification
by the states of the proposed amend
ment can be secured in time for the
women all over the country to vote
in the next presidential election.
Few state legislatures now are in
session, which include Massachusetts,.
Illinois. Pennsylvania. Michigan and
Wisconsin. are expected to adjourn
this month or next. Regular or spe-
cial session of the lawmaking bodies
in Texas, Georgia and Alabama are
due this or next month, while the
legislatures of Louisiana. New Jersey.
Maine. Iowa. Kentucky, South Caro-
lima. Mississippi. Virginia and Mary
land are not scheduled to meet before
next year.
Because. of pressing reconstruction
problems. however, special legisla-
tive sessions are expected to be call
ed in a number of these states and
the suffrage amendment will be
presented. Where none are called for.
the suffragists will demand special
sessions, it is announced.
