SENATOR FLETCHER AND Wo-
MAN SUFFRAGE

Somewhere in France, Jan. 80 1919.
To the Editor Ocala Banner
In a letter to Mrs w. o. O'Neal of
Orlando, printed in late issue of the
Palatka News. Hon Duncan r.
Fletcher, Florida's senior senator,
says: ~
Il do not think it unfair or
reflection on the women of Florida
to insist that they shall get their right
to vote precisely as the men got theirs
through their state constitution.
do not think it a reflection on the wO-
men Of Florida to oppose the federal
government controlling the elections
in that state The RICH Of the state

tors and to control the elections is
absolutely fundamental and if that
right is taken away from them, there
is very little left of state sovereign
ty. am not ready to centralize all
power in the federal government. and
deprive the states Of those which they
reserved from the beginning"
Our senior senator appears very
punctillious about state sovereignty.
yet am told that he voted for the
federal prohibition amendment which
embodies identicallv the same prime
pie as the federal woman suffrage
amendment as to police powers. etc.
Having crossed the publicon on the
prohibition band wagon. why make
flesh of 0na and fowl of the other"
Why now strain at a gnat having
swallowed a camel?
The senator most graciously AMI
generously says that he is in favor
of women getting their rights to vote
precisely as the men get theirs"
Pray. senator. how did the men get
theirs?
You tell US through the state con
stitutions. IS that not 4 superficial
and not altogether sufficient an
answer? Does it go deep enough into
the matter?

rious state constitutions? The men
was it not? How came them to give
that right 70 themselves and not n
the women? Does our senator pre-
tend TO claim thst it is a divine right
vouchsafed 10 the men and not TO
the women? Is such a statement nos
on a line with the divine right %

 Press comment is entirely against the sale by Mexico of its terri tory and pro-Ally papers declare that Mexico pins it's faith on Presi- dent Wilson's pronouncement for small nations. No attempt is made to refute the charge that the gov ernment of Lower California is al most independent of the Mexico City government.

BOOBIES RETURN
 ID FATHERLAND
 WITHOUT GLORY

BERNE-Seldom has a victorious army come to so miserable an end as that of the 180,000 Germans commanded by Field Marshal Won Mackensen, who were driven out of Rumania after the signing of the armistice.
 On their way home through Hun gary the redoubtable divisions which had accompanied Won Mackensen in triumphal march through Tran sylvania and Rumania lost, sold ar were robbed of virtually all their belongings. One division, the Eighty ninth. which had fought vic toriously in Poland and Lithuania. escaped into Germany without as much as a horseshoe nail of it's property and, clad in ridiculous dis guises of shabbiest civilian cloth ing and Austrian uniforms sold to them at Raab, they said, at mon strous prices. The story of their inglorious homeward journey as told by member of one of the German divisions to the Schlesische Zeitung follows:
 Orders had been given that bloodshed should be avoided. so the victors of Hermanns.adt and Rimiku turned their faces towards Hungary, and leaving incalculaple supplies of flour. sugar, wine, hospi- tai stores, and agricultural imple- ments behind them, made their way pursued by the Rumanians. over the wlntry Carpa:hians There were no Hungarian troops waiting to intern the German legions, and the few Entente soldiers in Budapest did not count. We were told that the Entente would impose still harder conditions in the West. so we were ordered to allow ourselves to be dis armed by ridiculous minority.
 Then began a second march over the snow steppes Thousands of old Landstrum men did not face this trlal and were taken prisoners 5y the Wallachians. who sent them back over the mountains into Ru- mania. Severel divisions succeeded in buying locomotives, cars, and coal at klausenburg. and thus fin ished their journey by train. A great mass of material was sold.

RUSSIANS ASK
 ALLIED AID ID
 CURB BO[SHEWK

LONDON, Mar. 25-Use of only volunteer force of Allied troops to maintain order in Ukraine is re- quested by the representatives of Russian political organizations in London in a statement issued here purporting to set forth their views. The statement expressly declares that except for the assistance of "a small Allied detachment that could be brought from the Black Sea to maintain order in the Uk- raine, the Russians ask for no Allied troops at all, only for material. Russia is able and willing and much prefers to rehabilitate herself with her own forces"
 They also ask for war material, rifles and especially aircraft and tanks. These, they say, should be supplied to Russia's own army com prising 250.00O men under Admiral kolchak, with headquarters at Omsk, and another 250,000 men under the command of General Denikine, who is reported to have just joined forces with those of the Cossack leader on the Don, General Kraz- noff. The Russians appeal also for moral Allied support and recogni- tion Bolshevism must be placed outside the pale of society and de- clare that such a pronouncenent on the part of the Allies has never yet been made. but would have tremendous influence and import ance"
 A plan of military operations aimed at the Bolsheviki is suggested by the Russian delegation. It pro- poses that the forces of Admiral kolchak and General Denikine be joined and adds that if this were done three-fourths of the task would be accomplished and ''the collapse of Rolshevism would be only a mat ter of weeks" The next step pro- posed would be to sever the Bolshe- vik connections between north and south Russia. The Russian delega- ton pointed out that General Deni kine is being assisted by the Allies from the Black Sea, from which he was only six hours distant and they asserted that as soon as, he had enough material he would move north and join Admiral Kolchak. and move toward Tsaritsin, an import ant strategic center in Southeastern Russia.
 They declare that the armies of General Denikine and Admiral Kol- chak are large and well organized but are now separated by the Bol- sheviki: and we are asking that they shall be supported. The physical force of Bolshevism can be easily and quickly dissipated in this fashion"
