SAYS WILSON FAILED
ON PEACE MISSION
THE TRIBUNA DECLARES HE
HAS LEFT CHAOS OF DISOR-
DER IN ALL OF EUROPE.

ROM E.-Critical comment or
President Wilson's sojourn in Eu.
rope is made today by The Tribuna
in discussing his return to the Unit
ed States.
Seven month ago an immense
halo of popularity surrounded Pres
ident Wilson," The Tribuna says.
Europe awaited him as the Messiah
in a new era of history, while now
he leaves amidst almost general in
difference, appearing as an intruder
in our continental history, our Eu-
ropean civilization and our sacred
ideals.
"It has been psychological drama,
as President Wilson believes, per-
haps sincerely, that he incarnated not
only the aspirations of America, but
also the aspirations of Europe. In
stead, President Wilson, despite his
pure intentions, failed of his9object.
He returns to America, leaving be-
hind him a chaos of disorder, passions
and disillusions, since he could not
conclude peace according to his prin-
ciples, but made compromise
brought about by the overbearing
attitude of the strong toward the
weak"

is PER CENT BOSNIA
POPULATION is DESTITUTE
The Women Refuse to Be Treated
By Male Doctors.

SPALATO, Bosnia.-Fifteen per
cent. of the population in Bosnia is
absolutely destitute Typhus is on
the increase both in Bosnia and Her
zegovina. Although only 800 cases of
typhus are officially reported, the
American medical authorities believe
that there are more than 5000: Great
difficulty is experienced by the au-
thorities in inspecting Mohammedan
homes where three-quarters of the
cases are believed to be concealed.
Mohammedan women refuse to be
treated by male doctors, no matter
how serious their illness. Many OF
the Christian natives think it unman-
ly to have the attention of a doctor
or nurse.
A veritable plague of lice overruns
the country. They are to be found
everywhere, carrying with them the
germs of typhus.

WOMEN VOTERS MUST
OBEY LAW LIKE MEN
UNDER NINETEENTH AMEND
MENT WOMEN STILL LIABLE
TO EXISTING STATUTES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In those
states where women vote they come
under the same laws as the men. That
is to say, if there is an educational
qualification, as there is in many OF
the states, woman must be able
to pass the test required in order to
receive ballot. If there is prop
erty qualification, as there is In
Rhode Island, she must be able to
show her tax receipt. Where regis
tration is required of men, women
must register in like manner. In this
respect each state is a law unto it
self, many of them having very lax
systems of registration in the coun-
try districts, with stringent provis-
ions for voters living in the cities.
Federal Law.
The only federal law which has af-
fected the vote of women is the act
passed in March, 1917, which. dis
franchises American women married
to foreigners since that time. The
American-born woman must wait un-
til her husband completes his citizen
ship. in the states where full citizen
ship is required, before she can vote.
A very cursory study of the cleo
ton laws of the United States shows
the widest difference between them.
In a few states all bars are down,
and the foreigner arriving at Ellis
Island in May can vote the following
November. This is true in Alabama,
but a number of states where 1T has
been the case have changed their
laws in this respect.
Must Abide.
When women are enfranchised
they expect to abide by existing laws
regulating elections. Massachusetts
was one of the first states to adopt
an educational qualification, which
really amounts to very little. Florl-
da. when it adopted the pure Austria
liam ballot, did much more to disfran-
chise illiterates, and Colorado, which
has a law that requires the voter to
indicate his preference by setting a
mark opposite the name of each per
son voted for, has gone even further
in the same direction by prohibiting
any aid to voters, save for total ply,
steal disability, such as blindness OF
the loss of a hand, which would make
it impossible for the voter to mark
his ballot
When the nineteenth amendment
enfranchising women, becomes the
law women will still be liable to the
restrictions set by the states, This Is
the case in the twenty-nine state:
where they have full or partial sui
frage, and it will be so with the 9th
] ers.

1T COSTS MORE TO
RIDE TO ATLANTA
THE GOVERNMENT HAS INDI.
RECTLY RAISED THE RAIL
ROAD PASSENGER FARE.

Under an order of the federal rail
road administration it now costs the
people of Dawson 80 cents more to
ride on the train to Atlanta than
formerly. The same is true of al
points south of Macon.
The rate has been indirectly ad.
vanced by exacting full fare for ev-
cry mile travelled. Heretofore the
people of this section who travel
by rail have been given the benefit
in fare of the shorter mileage via
the Southern railroad, but that, un,
der the new order, is no longer done
The rate from Dawson to Atlanta
has been raised from $50 to $500,
to which must be added $2.16 if
the passenger uses the sleeping car.
Before the government took charge
of the railroads the fare from Daw-
son to Atlanta was $40.
Must Have More Money.
Additional revenues to the amount
of $5OO,OOO,000 a year are necessary
to make the railroads of the United
States self-supporting under federal
operation, it is stated authoritatively
1t indicates to responsible railroad
officials the serious situation con-
fronting the roads and shows the size
of the bill to be borne by the trav
cling and shipping public if the pres
ent high levels of labor and material
costs are to be maintained.
The public must pay this enormous
bill, while the roads are under the
government control, through the me-
dunn of taxes to cover the appropria-
tions by congress for operation of
the roads.
The situation has reached the
point where Director General Hines
is preparing to lay it before the pres
ident at the first opportunity. Mr..
Hines is regarded as being opposed
to any increases before October 1st,
and to look with disfavor upon any
increases beginning shortly before
the roads are returned to private
ownership.
May be advanced oU Fef Lent
On basis of the estimates of the
railroad officials for the operating
deficit during the current calendar
year some authorities believe that
rate advances of as high as so per
cents. in some instances may be nee
essary to make the roads self-sup-
porting under existing expenses. Di-
rector General Hines is quoted as
having expressed the view that rate
increases of SO per cent. would re-
suit in an automatic falling off of
Is per cent. in business.
The deficit to be borne by the
federal government for the opera
ton of the railroads during the first
five months of 1919 will be about
$213,195,0O0.

BROTHERS ARE HOME
Lester And Gilbert Lang Arrive Here
From Overseas Service.

Lester And Gilbert Lang Arrive Here
From Overseas Service.
| Corporal Lester Lang and Private
Gilbert Lang, sons Of j. A. Lang OF
! $40 North Sixth street, two Mankato
boys who enlisted for active service
at Fort Smelling on July IL, 1917. and
spent twenty two months in France
engaged in the hardest fighting of the
war, arrived home yesterday noon
having been mustered out at Camp
Dodge, Ia.
Although very happy to be home
once more after their dangerous and
thrilling experiences abroad there
was a sadness connected with their
return on Mothers Day, as their own
mother had passed away during their
absence, and was not at home to well
come her sons. The Lang brothers
went overseas on October IS, 1917.
They took part in the principal en-
gagements of the war, fighting on the
most important of the battle fronts.
Among the fronts on which they were
engaged were the Lune Vile front
in Lorraine, Baccarat and Cham
paign fronts, Chateau Thierry and st.
Mihiel. Out of the Argonne Forest
they advanced to the heights OF
Sedan, and then went to division
headquarters in Germany. They left
there April 10, and started for home
landing in New York on April a.
They were sent to Camp Dodge ar
irving there at one a. m. and being
discharged at five p. m. Saturday.
May 10, and at once started for Man
kato.
When asked today where he ex-
perienced the heaviest fighting of the
war Gilbert Lang replied that about
the hardest fighting of all was that
in which he took part on the Cham
paign front on July Is, stopping the
German advance, and at Chateau
Thierry, where the Americans ad-
vanced, nineteen kilometers. "We
had some hard fighting on the last
front, and taking Hill 288 was also a
hard one," said Mr.. Lang, "as for the
rest of it, why it was good war all
the way through, only it lasted too
long for some of the boys"

s57 IN CHANGE
REPORT THAT THIEF MADE
HAUL IN MILLER STORE
COT AWAY WITH LOOT
Money Was In Two Sacks;
Midnight Episode; Police
Searched

With slight clew to work on the
police today were endeavoring to
run down a robber who is reported to
have entered the Miller Confection-
cry store at 317 North Front street.
about midnight last night and got
away with a leather sack containing
about $57 in small change which had
been taken in during the day.
The money was in two leather
sacks, one placed inside the other,
according to Mr.. Miller's statement
to the police and all was small coin
such as dimes and nickels. There
were only two or three silver dollars
in the lot. 1t appears that the MIL
lers were about to close their place
of business when man, who is a
stranger to Mrs. Miller, entered the
store and asked for an ice cream
cone. He left the store and few
minutes thereafter it was discovered
that the sack or money was missing.
Laid Sacks on Bench.
Mrs. Miller had the sacks with
the money in them in her hand as
he entered. She hurNedly laid the
money on a bench at the front Of the
store and stepped behind the counter
to fill the order. In another minute
the man and the money were gone.
Last night the robbery was re-
ported to the department and
search made for the man and all day
today the officers were on the look
out for anyone with an apparent
superfiuous amount of small change.
Chief of Police Jack Martin stated
that later today when he interviewed
Mrs. Miller she said she did not be-
lieve she could identify the man II
he was brought to the store. The
case is a difficult one for the officers
to solve.
Story Told The Chief.
To Chief of Police Martin, Mrs.
Miller. related today a story of the
theft which differs some from the
above tale. Mrs Miller said that the
stranger came in the store, ordered
some ice cream and was waited on.
She laid the money down, but did not
member just where. After the man
had eaten the ice cream, he walked
out of the store. Mrs. Miller could
not locate the money. She went out
on the sidewalk and saw the man
disappear up the street. She could
give the chief no description Of the
stranger q. 81
