TODAY'S RESUME OF
 WORLD WIDE EVENTS
Week just Beginning Promises to
 Be Important One
fBv the Associated Press)

What promises to be perhaps the
 most evcntful week yet of the Paris peace conference opens today with e, nIenarv session of that body, with final action on the covenant of the leapue of nations in prospect.
 There is also a feeling prevaIent i,, Paris that the treaty of peace will t,a ready for presentation to the German delegates by Saturday of this week before which time it is hoped the Itsl- 1an situation may resolve itself.
 As to the peace treaty, the most in,- portant matter still to be settled is the problem of composing the Japa- nese and Chinese claims to- Chau and the Snantung peninsula. A deci- sion on this subject has been expect ed for several days and it may be an nounced today. &E
 Matters dealing with the disposi- ton of the German ables the repat- Tiation of German prisoners of war and the future status of the Kiel canal and questions relative to Lux embourg, also are pending, but it is believed they arc in 8 fair way to- ward an adjustment.
 Conditions in Italy are being watch ed with some concern but very little news relative to the state of public opinion there and the activities of Premier Orlando and his colleagues has arrived since Saturday. It was re- ported that 8 council of members was to be held on Saturday by the pre- nier but what action was taken at the time has not been made public. Senators and deputies from all the Italian parties except the official so- eialists held a meeting Sunday and appointed a commission to draft a resolution of confidence in the gov- ernn ent for submission to parliament
 At the public meeting of the peace conference to be held today the re- vised draft of the league of nations will be presented This draft, made public in this country Sunday nlgh' differs m some important respects from that brought to America b. President Wilson last February. Jap an prol,ab blv will try to secure al amendment to the covenant Whlcl will grant the Japanese claims to recognition of racial equality.

Carranza troops are threaten

revealed in Congress when Sen
ators and the Governor of Texas
protested rehabilitation of the
air service. Several times in
the last few months American
soldiers have crossed the border
and killed Mexican Federal
troops, Senator Fall said. Pres,

SUFFRAGE PLAN OF WORK OF
FEDERATED CLUBS OF
KENTUCKY.

Whereas, The conditions of war
have revealed the problems of peace,
and whereas, these problems demand
for their solution I'VE same cOncentrd-
ton of public spirit on the part of in
dividual women and the same hearty
cooperation among groups of. women,
the same Ugh patriotism in fact, as
was displayed by"our women during
the war, be it resolved, that we, the
resolutions committee with these pur.
poses in view, offer the following rec
concentrations:
for woman suffrage has been passed
by the Congress of the United States,
and whereas, the' 1920 session of the
Kentucky Legislature will have the
opportunity on ratifying this amend
ment, we recommend to the Federated
Clubs and 10 the individual members
that they at once take steps to pledge
all candidates for the Legislature be-
fore the August primaries if possible
TO the ratification Of the Federal
Amendment and to the passage of all
other Legislation securing the political
<rights of women.
We further recommend that the Pc
litical Science Committee of the Fed
Grafton work in close cooperation with
the Kentucky Equal Rights Associa-
ton in securing the proposed legisla.
ton, and that, since the time is now
so short until the women of Kentucky
will be full. citizens, we recommend
that the clubs of the Federation take
up actively the work of preparing
women to use conscientiously and in
telligently their new political rights

KENTUCKY MUST NOT
FAIL TO DO JUSTICE
Mrs. Breckenridge Tells Of Progress
Of Equal Rights In Other
Stas

Kentucky has been a state fer 127
years. The men of Kentucky have
heen able during that entire time TO
grant suffrage to Kentucky womeA.by
the Saees rights route. They have
failed to do so. This, in spite of the
fact that the women of Kentucky have
been working for over a quarter of
century to get the men to grant them
suffrage by the states rights route.
In all that time they have never even
succeeded in getting a bill through the
Legislature Therefore the voters OF
Kentucky have never had a chance to
pass upon the question. The man who
talks about states rights now is usual
ly man who has been an anti-suf-
fragist during all the time that Ken
lucky women were trying to get suf-
frage blythe states rights route

The French and British do not
bind themselves 10 lend as an
army and fleet if VIC are attack
ed by Mexico or japan. And, as
a consequence. a number of
critics are complaining that we
have again been. victimized.
But the one-sidedness of the
treaty is only apparent. 1t may
grieve number of US to see this
country assuming any of the OBJ
legations implied in u foreign
alliance. Perhaps they are right
Any treaty at all may be bad
policy for the United States.
But that does not make this
treaty unfair.
France is compelled to maintain
a stupendous army to overawe
German military ambition. and
The resulting financial burden
presses heavily on her economic
strength. She is forever on
guard-and as Germany has a
score to settle with us as well as
with her, this is fortunate fer
ourselves, Here is where France
reciprocates.
Great Britain also. 1t is well
for - that England can pay for
navy which will prevent the
Germans from sending war ships
to sea, AM incidentally to our
own coasts.
If Britain and France can pay
the cost of eternal vigilance, we
can hardly call the treaty one
sided. Wilson and Lansing
probably had a few Of these facts
in mind when they signed it.

F6f in the meantime the women of
Kentucky and of the other states of
the Union have succeeded in Eetttnx
a bill through I b United States Coz
gress to grant suffrage by Federal
Amendment. II is. now up to the
states to ratify this Amendments.
Though khe Federal Bill only passed
on the hast day of May, seven states,
having regular sessions of the legisla-
lures this year, have already ratified
it. Four states haye ratified at the
special sessions called for the purpose,
and nine others have already called
special sessions to do So KRsas
legislators came together for one day,
waving mileage and per diem, and
ratified the amendment. This was
merely an act of chivalry to the women
of the unenfrancnised states, since
Kansas men had already granted sui!
frage to their own women by state
amendment. Iowa put through her
ratification in the record-breaking
time of one hour and forty-nine min
utes
The Adair County news., 1919-08-06

The men of Kentucky are to have
the chance, either at a special legis-
lative session called for the purpose,
or at the regular session next January
to repair the injustice that is now be-
ing done Kentucky women. Already
the women of twenty-nine states
more than fifteen and a half million
wOmen-are eligible to vote in the
next presidential election. Are the
women of Kentucky inferior to the
women of California, Illinois, COlOra-
do or New York that they should be
excluded from voting for the next
president? Do the men of Kentucky
desire that Kentucky should be al
lowed to poll only One-half of her
adult population in the next presiden-
tial election while these other states
are voting their full strength?
Suffrage has been granted to the
women of nearly all civilized countries.
The United States is the only great
nation inhabited by English speaking
people which haSNOt already granted
suffrage by national act to its women.
Great Britain, England, Ireland, Scot
land, Wales, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand have all granted full
political rights to their women. There
is no question that the United States
will eventually be as fair to her
women.
The OnlGs4ueStiOn now before the.
legislators OF Kentucky is whether
they prefer to delay or to speed up the
process of doing justice 10 American
women. In all likelihood me Federal
Suffrage Amendment will be ratified
by the necessary SO states even should
kentucky fail TO take advantage of her
opportunity to ratify. Were il posi-
bic for Kentucky legislators by a re-
dictionary policy TO defeat the Amend
ment, and insist that a1e women must
get suffrage by the states rights route,
all they could do-yoald be to increase
the AbOrs and prolong the efforts of
Kentucky women, many of whom IDve
already labored for We greater part of
their adult ne to get the men of Ken
lucky to grant. thsn suffrage by the
st4tes rights route
