STATES WOMEN GET VOTE
FOR FALL ELECTION THIS YEAR
May Cast Ballots For President, Sem
at0r and Congressman.

May last Bal!OtS FOR PreSldent, Sem
at0r and Congressman.
Women will vote in Maryland this
fall for the first time in the history
of the State.
The election will be for President,
United States Senator and Congress-
men; they may also vote upon the two
proposed Constitutional Amendments
and the bond question in this county
authorizing the Board of Education
or County Commissioners to issue
bonds for the improvement of the pub
lie school system of Garrett county,
the Act authorizing the submission Of
this question to the voters of the coun-
ty having been passed the recent
Legislature.
Tennessee's ratification of the suf-
frage amendment yesterday assures
to the women the right to vote. The
only detail now to be carried out is a
proclamation by Secretary of State
Colby in Washington that the Nine
teenth Amendment has been ratified
by the necessary number of States.
Before women can vote, however,
they must register. The Supervisors
of Elections throughout the State will
at once proceed to make the necessary
arrangements to register the women.
Women in Garrett county will have
their first opportunity to register on
September 21st next This will be the
first registration day for the Presiden-
tial election. The books of registra-
tion, it is thought by the officials, are
already large enough to accommodate
the additional number of voters who
may apply to have their names en-
tered therein.

BRITISH Will
BATTLE KEMAL
General Milne Has Gone on In
spection Tour to Lay Plans
For Offensive.
TO AID SULTAN'S ARMY
East Indian Troops Are Report.
ed to Have Occupied Port
of Mundania.

Constantinople, April 80. - British
troops, it is believed, plan to support
the sultan's forces in the movement
against Turkish nationalists in Asia
Minor and even join in an aggressive
offensive against Mustapha Kemal
Lieutenant General Sir Milne, COM
mander of British forces here, has gone
to Ismid on an inspection tour, and
elaborate preparations are being made
by the British along the coast of the
sea of Marmora.
The occupation of Mudania was eff
fected with East Indian troops and
nit is expected the British will soon take
over Brusa which is prominent ma
tionalist center. The underground
route" from Constantinople to Anatolia
has been the Marmora ports which
the British now apparently intend to
control. Differences between the Brit
ish on the one hand and the French
and Italians on the other, as to the
handling of the situation are still re-
ported.
The British Admiral de Robeck, COM
manding the allied fleet in the Dar-
danelles, has sailed for Batum on the
battleship Ajax presumably to arrange
the status of the free port provided
by the agreement of the allied council
at San Reno. British warships re-
Gently visited both Trebizond and Sam
sun, taking away British women and
children, destroying the old fortifica-
tions and disarming the public, ac-
cording to the armistice provisions.
The president took care that the boil
sheviki or nationalists should not find
large guns capable of restoration if
they should enter the two Black Sea
ports. !
