Iowa's new suffrage law permits
women to vote for president. but not
for any state officers. Perhaps the
Legislators did not care to offend the
refined sensibilities Of the ladies by in
viting them in on electing such fellows
as the republican state officials have
proven themselves to >be.-Manson
Democrat.
The legislature did not grant total
suffrage to women because it had no
power to do SO. The constitution must
be amended to give them that right.
However, the legislature can regulate
the question of universal suffrage in
relation to the vote for presidential
electors. Iowa in this matter has fol-
lowed the course of number of other
states.

Italy should be held to her pledge of
honor, made in hours when she would
have pawned her soul to get the aid
she did from British, French and
American troopers.-SiouX City Tri-
bune.
Quite true. Also France and Great
Britain and America should appreciate
what Italy did at time when they
were shivering at the possible con-
sequences of the great Austrian drive
into Italian territory. Italy is not the
only nation in the world that would
have pawned her soul, almost, to get
the help of others. Italy helped
France, Great Britain and American
quite as much as. they helped her.
Why not now divide the honors evenly

Two Men Lose
Lives Trying
To Save Ship
Heroes Plunge Into Blaz-
ing Furnace as a Trans
port Burns at Hoboken

Two men are believed to have given
their lives yesterday in an effort to
save the Army Refrigerator Ship Six
aola from destruction by flames that
were destroying her inwards
The men, both of whom had made a
second attempt to open the water
cocks and sink the burning craft, are:
Lieutenant f. H. Foster, executive
officer, of Brooklyn.
Frank Cramer, chief boatswain's
mate, of Rochester. N. Y.
The ship had been loaded to the
gunwales with a s3,O0OO00 cargo of
beef, lard and butter for consumption
by the American forces in Brest, and
preparations were being made to sail
this morning.
Shortly after o'clock in the after
noon fire was discovered in the hold.
Smoke and flames broke from hatch
No. 3. Lieutenant Foster who was in
command of the ship in the absence of
its captain on sick leave, summoned
the Hoboken fire department and be-
gan fight on the flames himself.
Accompanied by Cramer, he went be-
low and discovered that the fire was
spreading. The members of the crew
assisted in flooding the hold with
steam and water. Later they leaped
from the deck to the pier when the
Hoboken 'fremen, directing half a
took charge Of the battle against the
flames.
Fight Fire With Gas Masks
Lieutenant Foster and Cramer, who
had been compelled to leave the ship
when half overcome by smoke and gas
from the hold, donned gas masks and
went back to the deck Shortly after
they reached the deck the vessel began
snapped off and fell among the fire
men on the pier
Then, probably hoping to open the
water cocks and cause the ship to set
tie evenly into the water, the lieuten-
ant and boatswain's mate again went
below. Five minutes later the list be-
came much more pronounced and there
was great kissing as clouds of steam
arose from the hold and burst from
the matches, announcing that the water
from the harbor had reached the
flames.
Those on shore realized the danger
of the two men below. The bell was
rung as signal to abandon ship"
But there was no response from be-
low. Either because they were too
engrossed with their task or because
they already had been pinned down
among the shifting cargo the two men
were not heard from again.
Men Search for Hours
At o'clock the craft slowly settled
into the water leaving only the upper
half of one side of her hulk to show
where she had stood at the pier 1t
was hours, however, before the search
ing parties admitted they had given
up hope of saving the two men who
had made such heroic effort to save
the ship.

Centro! Soviet Council
Pr0cIain7s ProIetdriat
Dictatorship in Munich

BERLIN, Feb. % (By The Associated
Press Chaos is prevailing generally
in Munich, and the free transmission
Of news to Berlin has been interfered
with. The press. therefore, has been
wholly dependent upon contradictory
rumors.
The latest dispatches from the Ba-
varian capital indicate that the Central
Soviet Council is in absolute control
and has proclaimed a proletariat die
tatorship. One of the leaders of the
German Holshevist movement, named
Levine. is said to be a member of this
council, which consists of eleven rep
reseptatives and has among its number
delegates from the soldiers, work
mems and peasants councils.
The "Frankfort Zeitung" says the
Munich Committee of Eleven met the
rest Of the old ministry Saturday
morning and informed them that the
new government should be on the Boil
shcvik model and that the committee
would assume supreme power. Only
three Of the ministers were retained.

Dictated Peace Is
To Be Imposed on
Germany by June I
House Plea for Haste Indorsed by Clemenceau and
Balfour - Status of Other Enemy Nations To
Be Determined Later - Saar Valley to France

@concile these differences the Coun-
ell OF Ten evidently is determined to
do So Important CONCESSIONS learn,
have been agreed upon between the
Americans and the British, who are
willing now to permit the French to
annex the Saar Valley, including their
highly valuable coal deposits. because
the Americans and British recognize
that the destruction wrought in other
coal mines in France prevents their
utilization for twenty years or more.
Saar Popuiace Problem
One problem in this connection is
the German population in the Saar
Valley,on account of which just solu
ton according to the principle of self
determination has not yet been found.
AS such problems will be numerous in
redrafting the frontiers of various
European states, it is probable that a
system of monetary or other compen-
satlon to inhabitants for departing
from their homes or otherwise assent
ing to become nationals of the country
whereof their land becomes a part will
be adopted
L understand the food supplies es-
sential for Germany will be granted
to her, according to President Will
sons desires, in return for raw mate
rlals' which the other Allies propose
and expect that France will accept in
part payment as reparations, these raw
materials enabling her to reorganize
Immediately her industries.
Cash payments from Germany or
currency Indebtedness for essentia!
TODD supplies, would make Germany a
debtor to America or the other nations
supplying foodstuffs, and it is desired
to avoid granting her further credits
Wilson Concession Expected
By various deviceful and intricate
schemes and processes both the Brit
lsh and Americans, who are now en-
deavoring to speed up to the maximum
the labors of the peace council, hope
to achieve the early peace desired.
President Wilson's concession to Mar
shall Foch's armistice proposals enabled
the important matter of Germany's
disarmament both on land and sea to
be placed on a safe and permanent
basis, and it is hoped here that he will
likewise agree to the essentials in the
matter of reparations
The British are definitely reconciled
| learn, to compensation either in
ships or otherwise for their great mer-
camille and other losses by illegal de-
struction. AS to the war costs, thew
recognize that they cannot obtain them
in view of the gigantic payments
France, Belgium, Serbia, Rumania and
other states must receive.
British statesmen, however. realize
that in the elimination of the necessity
of future costs in naval construction
in maintaining a navy equal to Ger
many's they will obtain the equivalent
of heavy indemnity, and the other
advantages to be derived from a
league of nations also are accounted
by the British to be a substantial sub
stitute for indemnities

On his first day out of the hos

"Come to work Tomorrow"
his former employer said. eff
you do you can have your place,
Otherwise we'll have to let the
