ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 15.-Some cities
sought war contracts, others had war
contracts thrust upon them, and still
others stood ready to accept them, but
were neglected. ST. Louis got hardly
any, and was disposed to feel she had
missed something. But it turns out
that. because comparatively little of her
business was thus tied up with gov
ernment adjustments, St Louis has
been able to move sure -footedly ahead,
IN this reconstruction period.
But something did happen during the
war which will prove OF more impor-
lance to St Louis than many war,
enterprise did, or WILL to other COM
munities-something so far-reaching in
Its relation to our foreign trade, that,
not merely st. Louis but the cities and
towns and areas adjacent to it in the
central West, will benefit by it. The
Mississippi river became a waterway at
last. From the very center of the
United States, goods are flowing direct
TO Central and South American ports
without being subjected to the delays
and congestion hitherto encountered on
the rail routes to the Atlantic or Gulf
coasts.

HUN PREPARATIONS
FOR SMALL ALLIED
UNSETTLED

PARIS, April 49, (By the Associated
Press, THE problem OF reparations and
settlements still has troublous times be-
fore II in connection with the question
of the distribution OF the indemnity to
be paid by Germany. Smaller powers
which suffered under German invasion
and devastation are stiA to be heard
relative to their shares Of the repara-
ton fund, particularly Belgium, the
claims of which are entitled to first
consideration under various pre-con-
ference pledges.
The tentative scheme Of distribution
which Great Britain and France have
advanced apportions between so and 80
per cent, probably So Of the total sum
realized to the three big powers, leav-
ing perhaps 10 per cent to satisfy the
demands of Belgium, Italy, Serbia, Ru-
mania Russia and others, This Ia a
smaller proportion than the secondary
powers expected and they are almost
sure to be dissatisfied. 1t has been
suggested among the experts on the
reparations commission that Rumania,
Serbia and other nations have received
reparations through the acquisition OF
territory, but this reasoning VIII scarce
ly appeal to Belgium,
A share of the reparations- fund will,
according to the present understanding,
be assigned to Russia for damage to
invaded Russian territories hut prob
ably will be turned over to Great Brit
ain and France to apply on advances
made to the old Russian government
during the war.
Although the contributions payable
by Germany are characterized as rep
arations very considerable part OF
the first IS, 900, 100000 VIII not be avail
able for reparation, since 1t has been
assigned to the payment OF the expenses
of the armies OF occupation and such
food supplies as must be furnished Ger
many. Since the occupation of the left
bank Of the Rhine will continue during
the entire two years covered by this
first payment the expenses, particularly
OF the French occupational army, will
eat deeply into the $4,000, 000, 900.
No announcement has as yet been
made regarding the precise definition
of the various "categories" Of repara-
| tions In other words there is no defi-
milton Of the classes Of damages for
| which Germany is required to pay. II
can be stated, however that the five

WOMEN SECURE
NO RIGHTS BY
ELECTION LAW
Whole Act Looks Like Joker.
Seems Clearly UnConStitu-
tionaI AND imperative by
Reason of Omissions.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April Is. (Spl)
camp of the suffragists at the capitol
Tuesday following their notable victory
in passing the suffrage bill in the SEN
ate on Monday. The trouble comes
from the fear that the measure is un-
constitutional, an apprehension which a
superficial examination by some of the
best lawyers of the state verifies with
out hesitation.
The bill was passed by a vote Of II
70 IA, barely receiving the constitu-
tional vote required for passage.
Senators voting aye were: Bradley,
Burkhalter, Cameron, Carter, Collins,
Doris, Fuller, Gwin Haston, Hill,
Houk, Long, Mcfarland McMahon,
Patton Rice of Stewart, and WikIe.
Senators voting no; Caldwell, Gambler.
Coleman, Harber, Louthan, Matthews,
Miller, Monroe, Parks, Rice of Shelby
summers, Whitby, Worley and Speaker
Todd. Total, A.
The bill has passed both branches OF
the legislature and now goes to the gov
ernor for his signature. 1t is under
stood that Gov. Roberts believes the bill
is unconstitutional, but will sign it re-
gardless of his opinion, as he does not
feel called upon to pass upon that phase
of the subject
The cause for the apprehension is
that the bill gives women the right to
vote for presidential electors and in
municipal elections, but does not pro-
vide for separate polling places II has
poll tax requirement but the state
law makes no provision for a woman to
pay poll taxes. No person can vote in
legalized election in Tennessee with
out having paid poll tax at least 80 days
in advance of an election.
The failure to provide separate poll
ing places is regarded as the chief de-
ficiency. In practically every municipa
and presidential election there are state
and county officials to be elected, II
goes without saying that If the women
are permitted to vote in these elections
| there is no reason. because of the re-
| quirement for the secret ballot, why
| they should not fill out the entire
| ticket. There Is no provision for fur
| nishing the women with one kind oi
| ticket and the men with another.
