may vote If she has been a resident of the United States for at least five years.
 An American born woman who has married man not a citizen of the United States may not vote.
 Thus it Is seen that a woman's citi- zenship becomes the same as that of her husband upon her marriage.
 A foreign born woman must have been a citizen ninety days before the election in order to vote. She must have been naturalized August if she Is to vote in the coming election.
 As the word "citizen" is used so often in the above instruction it is we'll to repeat the statement that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens"
 This information is given in the hope that all New Britain women eligible will take advantage of the right to vote that has been given them. Many women object to woman suffrage; many advocate 1t. The ob- jectors may be the most cultured of women or the least cultured and in- telligent. The advocates of 1t may be. either. At any rate the advocates of woman suffrage will vote. and it Is for this reason especially. together with the fact that the woman's vote should add to the honesty of expres- sion of all the people, that it seems of paramount importance that all women-women of culture and re- finement and women whose advan- tages have been less-should express their opinion at the coming election.
 The same is true of the men, of course. but the men will vote as a matter of habit as well as conviction. The woman unaccustomed to take part in activities of this sort should express her views through the ballot. in order that the full woman senti- ment may be felt in the result of the election. Perhaps it is an un- pleasant duty forced upon many, but those who have no sympathy with tho amendment should consider it a duty.
 If. for instance, only those men who believed in Free Silver" at the time William Jennings Bryan advo- cated 1t. went to the polls. and the Gold advocates. disgusted. remained away. there would have been a far different financial history in this coun- try.
 If only the women who believe in freedom of action. sometimes amount ing to license and those wno take little thought for the moral welfare of the land. go to the polls, and their sisters who care very much indeed about such matters remain at home. tho result will not properly reflect the sentiment of womanhood.
 Especially Is it necessary for wom- en who arc rood. conscientious, pa triotic. cultured, home-loving and true to go to the polls and vote. Many of their sisters who may not be char acterized thus will do so. The lat ter's must not be the only woman sen- timent expressed.

Six former American army men are
now being provided by the Turkish
chief Of police with lodgings. where
he is OBTAINING them with their Greek
and Armenian alleged conspiratOrs In
these thefts. but the chief has ex-
pressed unwilIngness to hold Them In
definitely. The basement Of the
American embassy formerly was used
as a Jail at odd times, but the space
is now being utilized as an office for
George Wythe, the American trade
commissioner.
Consul Allen has fund of $1,000.
but. due to high rents. this would pay
only for two months rent for Jail

Among the excuses given by the six
AMERICANS was that the high cost of
living drove them to the thefts. They
also declared the supplies often were
stolen before reaching the charity for
which they were intended. so that they
felt they had a moral right to them
as Americans.
