beth Cady Stanton in organizing the
woman suffrage movement. She be-
came in time the real leader Of the
movement; certainly she was its mill.
tant suffragist. Born in Adams, Mass,
she came Of Quaker stock. and early
devoted herself to Temperance" (the
prohibition Of those days) and to the
abolition Of slavery.
For several years after the Civil
war Miss Anthony endeavored to Sc
cure an Interpretation of the four
teenth aud fifteenth amendments
which would allow women to vote.
Finally, In 1872. at Rochester, N. T.
she tried to force an Interpretation by
voting at the polls. She was arrested
and fined. She refused to pay the
fine, but was not sent to jail.
In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the
amendment to the Constitution which
has now been ratified. In 1873 the
amendment was introduced in the
senate by Senator Sargent Of Califor-
MIA. 1t was defeated in 1887 and
thereafter was not even debated In
congress until 1914.
During the years the constitution
al amendment campaign was making
no progress the women won many vic
tories In the states. They received
full suffrage in Is, presidential suf-
frage In IL and partial suffrage In sew
eral others.
The National American Woman
Suffrage association in 1912 opened
headquarters in Washington and be-
gan an active campaign for the
passage Of the amendment.
The National Woman's party, Or
ganized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab-
lished Washington headquarters In
1918 and introduced the militant into
the campaign.
Alice Paul-the third Quakeress to
immortalize herself-is the spectacu-
lar figure of the struggle. She is a
practical politician and developed the
deadliest card index on members Of
congress that practical politics has
ever seen. Pretty soon she was serv-
ing notice through the White House
pickets that the president was the
''man higher up" The arrest Of near
ly 500 Of these pickets and the i'm
position of Jail sentences had no ef.

Father and Daughter
Get Relief by Eatonic

r. J. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas,
says. "Eatonic helped me at once,
but it was my daughter who got the
marvellous benefits. She could not
even take a drink Of water without
awful misery, but it relieved her; she
Is feeling much better. All this from
one box, so send me four more at
once"
Hundreds of people now take
eatOnic; one or two tablets after each
meal keeps them in good health,
feeling fine, full Of pep. Eatonic
simply takes up the excess acidity
and poisOns and carries them right out
Of the system. OF course, when the
cause Of the misery is removed, the
sufferer cannot help but get well.
You will find it n quick, sure relief
for heartburn, indigestion, sour, acid.
gassy, bloated stomach. 1t costs but
trifle and your druggist will supply
you. If you don't feel well, you give
eatOnic a test. Adv.

feet. incidentally Miss Paul herself
served seven terms In Jail.
In 1869 were formed two national
EXAMINATIONS: National Woman Suf-
frage association, with Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony leaders and head
quarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association. with
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and head
quarters in Boston.
The line Of division between them
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage Of a con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor Of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
izations were united under the name
Of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines Of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900. resigning at the age Of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 19O9194. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw. recently deceased and possibly
best loved OF all the leaders, wom-
an Of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence-was president until 1915.
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association msie ar
rangements at the st. Louis conven-
ton Of 1919 to dissolve its organiza-
tion and become the League Of Wom-
en- Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
tion in February last. So the League
Of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27,O0O.O00 po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Gait. who Is also the head of the
International Woman Suffrage alli-
ance. which she founded in 1904, Is

Florida and Tennessee could not
vote in 1920 because of constitutional
provision.
The Louisiana legislature was sched-
uled to meet in May.
The North Carolina legislature was
to meet in special session in August.
Gov. +. w. Beckett had declared his
intention of asking for ratification.
Washington ratified in March. Del
aware refused In June; Louisiana in
July. Calls for special sessions were
refused by the governors Of Connecti-

Ohio ratification, holding that the Uni-

ton methods. Under this decision
Tennessee called a special session to
act on ratification.
1t is 20 years since the organized
movement for woman suffrage was
begun in the United States. In the
first part Of the nineteenth century
woman suffrage was spasmodically adj

Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady

Berling, Aug. 24-The Lokal Anzel-
gers correspondent on the Russian
front reports that the Russian retreat
along the east Prussian border has de-
veloped into panic under pressure of
the Polish cavalry. Herds of cattle,
cavalry and infantry are intermingled
in the flight. Officers and commissar-
les are trying to restore order with
their revolvers. Some of the regiments
have thrown away their weapons.
The correspondent of the Tageblatt
at PrOsken says that the first Russian
army is in full retreat in the direction
Of GrodnO. The staff of the fourth
army and all revolutionary committees
have evacuated LOmza, whose inhab-
itants have formed a militia force In
the service of the revolutionary govern
ment, which also is IN flight. Lomza
was p!lIaged before the evacuation.
1t is reported that strong Russian re-
serves are being sent forward to Bialy-
stok from GrOdno. The LOmZa- -Bialy-
stok-Brest-LitOvsk railway is in the
hands of the Poles, consequently re-
treat In a sOutheasterly direction is i'm
possible. The revolutionary committees
have fled from GrajevO and other
places.
Copenhagen.-The Poles have recap
tured BialystOk after desperate resist
ance by the BOlshevists, says dis

DanZig.-The situation created by
the withdrawal of the Russian forces
operating in northern Poland now per-
mits the resumption of the distribution
by the Red Cross of American supplies

way of Mlawa and Narienwerder.
LOndOn.-The maneuver whereby the
Polish POsnanian and Pomeranian
troops are driving the BOlshevist forces
eastward from Thorn into the arms Of
General Sikorski, seems well on the
way to success, telegraphs the Warsaw
correspondent of the London Times. ST.
kOrski was expected to reach Mlawa,
leaving no escape for the Bolshevist in
fnntry except into East Prussia.
The cavalry will be more difficult to
round up, the correspondent says.
General CraiewSki, the Polish cavalry
leader, has been sent out to engage the
Russians.
Warsaw.-The process of bOttling up
the Russian soviet forces on the north
ern front between Prussia and the Wis
tula river has been completed, accord
ing to an official statement issued here.
The Poles have closed the gateway Of
escape, taking prisoners and materials
in such quantities that it Is impossible
to count them.

Strategy Typical of Toxic

BN Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Japan has
wishes Of the California people, as ex-
pressed IN thc laws forbdding the leas-
int Of land to Japanese just approved
by referendum, it was declared on high
authority here to-day.
The japanese government has known
for some time that the election in Cali
fornia would result in the approval of
these laws, and it has not been able
to devise any successful way of COM
batting OR overthrowing them
The pressure from Toxic on the
American State Department has been
INTENDED solely to accomplish very
different thing, il is declared, and a
thing which is very much more vital
not only to Japan's expansion, but yir-
ITALY to her very existence.
Withdrawal of the American obiec-
;!ons TO occupation by the Japanese of
the remaining half of Saghalin Island
IS what Japan wants. Withdrawal of
American protests against the setting
up OF buffer states in the southern
part of Siberia, one facing into Mon
Roia and the other into Manchuria,
also is desired
1T is the same old Japanese game
which has been so universally success
1ui In all her negotiations" said a high
dIpiomat IN discussing this to-day. AT
Paris the Japanese clustered about the
recognition by the League of Nations
of racial equality. TIE Japanese peace
commissioners talked there as Japa-
nese diplomats talk now about the Cali
tornla land situation. They said the
point which worried them was that it
was sentimental issue with their peo-
pie, which they could not well con-
trol. They talked about the hurt to
their pride Of the discrimination which
would be effected if their demands
were not granted.
"They were turned down cold on
their racial equality plea at Paris.
OF course. But when they came up
again on Shantung their previous r.
lection made it very mucn harder TO
say no, and they walked oil with what
they really wanted.
THAT is what they expect this time.
They will be distressed to death. on
the surface, when they are finally as
Sured that nothing can be done for
them about the California situation.
They have the State Department in
real quandary. for the position Of the
Federal government here is that it
knows the California law is discrimi-
natory; but it also knows that it has
not the power to prevent the discrimi-
nation.
"Then the Japanese. having the Stage
