five degrees cooler this year than in
1919.
Swcltering days in the past ten
weeks have been few and prostra-
tions due to the heat have been at u
minimum. according to the weather
prophet. This has resulted in speed
ing up crop growing, cutting and
harvesting and putting the general
public in good spirits. Cox pointed
out.
Weather predictions for the re-
mainder of the summer are even
more optimistic. Cox asoribes the
coolor weather of this year to the
prevalence Of high pressure areas
over the country. resulting In cooling
winds. The lower temperature Of the
lake water and the lake breezes have
also had an appreciabie affect in Ilfi-
nois and Wisconsin, he stated.

London. Aug. 1S.-Russian bolshe-
wiki peace delegates at Minsk have
been instructed to recognize the ma
tional existence Of Poland and net to
interfere In the domestic affairs of
that country, says the Minsk dispatch
to the Herald, organ Of labor quoting
an interview with NJ. Danishevsky,
president Of the Russian peace dele
cation.
The terms Of peace made public
by the soviet government OF Russia
are not final, says the dispatch. but
may be modified at the conference.
"All general meetings Of the con-
ference will be public. NJ. DAM
shevsky is quoted as saying. We
do not intend to immitat9 the Yer
sailles procedure of secrecy and die
tation. We will listen attentively to
all Polish arguments and, while
keeping close to the published terms,
have no intention to refuse reason
able notifications. The general
pricipal Of Russia's policy Is based
upon fullest recognition of Polands $
independence, and we will avoid any
interference in our internal affairs.
The crucial points are those giving
us security against Polish aggrega-
ton. No new demands will be addea
to those already made public.

Meanwhile Miss Anthony made a
test Of the right or women to cast
the ballot by going to the polls and
voting. She was arrested and con-
victed and, tho she refused to pay
her fine, was never jailed She be-
came, however, the forerunner OF the
"militanls" who adopted the forceful
tactics of the latter days of the
campaign.
State after state gradually en-
franchised it's women citizens. Be
ginning with Wyoming in 1869. by
1919 sixteen states had given women
the right to vote, and .buc~cen states

frage forces turned their attention TO
ratification by the necessary three
fourths of the states More special
sessions Of the state legislatures were
called to act upon the nineteenth
than upon any other amendment.
Wisconsin and Michigan on June

York. Kansas and Ohio.
Other states ratified in the follow

California, Maine, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Colorado, Rhode

Full suffrage Is enjoyed today by
the women Of twenty-one foreign
countries including the new states of
Czecho-Slovakia and Poland and the
ancient nations of England, Germany
and the Scandinavian countries. Now
that the women of the United States
have Won the right equally with the
men to take their part in the govern
ment of the republic the effect of the
women's vote on the political life of
the country remains for time to show.
Many women are joining the old line
parties with their men folk but the
National Woman's Partyl holds it's
own convention in June and will
draw UP it's platform for the coming
campaign. First efforts probably
will be directed to the laws on in

Morale of Bolshevik Armies Break

BY Associated Press.
Warsaw. Aug. 1S.-Bolshevik forces
advancing into Poland marched
ahead without any concern for their
lines of communication, according to
statements of refugees gathered by
the Warsaw Gazette. They have
thus lost all touch with the bases OF
operation, and refugees declare i
was possible to travel many miles
without seeing a single bolsheyik
soldier.
"A vigorous effort on the part Of
the Poles would be sufficient to in
flict a decisive defeat upon the So
Wet armies" the newspaper de-
clares. "That is why the bolshevik
high command lis so anxious to fin
ish the struggle against Poland as
quickly as possible"
Soviet officers who have been tax
en- prisoners confirmed this informa-
ton, adding that the successes
gained by General Wrangel in south
ern Russia are causing considerable
anxiety in the bolshevik army.
The Russian bolshevik government,
therefore, wants to finish with the
Poles so that it may turn its atten-
ton to General Wrangel before the
autumn rains make campaigning in
southern Russia impossible.
"The bolsheviki believe the capture
Of Warsaw will end the war with Po-
land, a belief which is not shared
by the Poles. ''The morale of the
bolshevik army is decreasing. In
the region Of Brest-Litovsk a num-
be- of worn out and hungry detach-
ments have refused to obey orders,
and it has been necessary to replace
them with fresh troops. Summary
executions had no effect upon the
men. The soviet soldiers are tired
of war;"
