EARLY REPLY TO
AMERICAN NOTE
Expected Soon at Washing
ton From Great Britain
and Italy.
COMMON POLICY DESIRED
Hope to Iron Out Differences
Between France and
England.
COMMON POLICY DESIRED

Washington, Aug. 1i.--Replies from
both Great Britain and Italy to the
American note on the Russian Polish
situation are expected soon by state de-
partment officials, A summary OF the
French rejoinder was received here to-
day and the fun text will follow soon.
In the opinion of administration Off
cials. as expressed today, the answer of
the allies will spring from a desire to
reach common policy on a question
regarded as the gravest with which the
world has to deal.
1t also was suggested officially that
the replies of Great Britain and France
would offer an opportunity for those
differences have developed between
them since the dispatch o6 the Ameri-
can note and the recognition by France
Of Gen. Wrangel as the head OF the
South Russian government.
The French reply as outlined in the
official summary received today was
understood to- be highly satisfactory to
administration officers, IL was said
that France, in recognizing Gen.
Wrangel, had accepted the principal
contention Of the United States that
Russia should not be dismembered.
Detailed information concerning the
policy Of Gen. Wrangel. officials stated.
was not as full and copious" as de.
sired, although that received was de-
scribed as Of favorable character. II
was ulscioseu toudy tHat the American
note on the Russian- Polish situation
was directed to the widespread loose
thinking" OF the world in general con-
cernipg the bolsheviki This loose
thinking" It was said, had given rise to
grave feeling of lethargy toward the
menace of soviet principles.
In this connection attention was
called TO the appeal from the executive
committee OF the third internationale at
Moscow to the !. w w. In the United
States. which was found In communist
literature seized from the soviet courier,
Neils Jacobsen at New York on July
2s. 1t was stated In this pamphlet that
unless the workers OF other countries
rose against their own capitalists the
Russian revolution could not last To
recognize a government espousing such
principles, officials declared, would be
openly to invite destruction.
Chicago, Aug. 14.--Parley p. Chris
tensen, farmer-labor party candidate for
president, today sent a cablegram to
Chairman Adamson. of the British labor
party, congratulating British workers
on their determination to resist military
intervention against Russia. You have
laid the foundation for n real world
league OF labor by setting the glorious
example of labor's power to veto war"
declared Mr.. Christensen's message.

Suffrage for Women
NolD, Depends on House
Leaders, Inspired by Victory
in Senate, Expect Lower
House to Act FavorabIy.
MRS. GAIT DENIES CHARGE
That She Advocated Intermar-
riage of White and Col
ored Races.
(eY G. F. MILTON, JR.)

Especial Correspondent for the l. N. S.
Nashville, Aug. 1.-THE house ol
representatives of the Tennessee gen.
eral assembly, now is all that remains
between the federal suffrage amendment
and victory, the senate Friday having
passed resolution fatifying the Nine
|teenth amendment. The house has as
yet taken no action on it. Its own
resolution is still In committee, which
decided not to- report back before
Monday night and the house is ad-
journed until 10 a. m. Monday.
Suffrage leaders confidently expect to
pass the amendment In the house Tues
day. The senate measure, already en-
crossed, will be presented to the house
Monday morning Under the rules II
unanimous consent can be obtained for
immediate consideration. That is be-
lieved impossible.
When It comes up in regular order
Tuesday a motion will Immediately be
made to pass the senate resolution.
No effort at all will be made to bring
the house resolution out from COM
nittee, as the committee control is in
the i-suffragists' hands. Several
hours debate are expected Tuesday
before the members vote. Ratification
lists claim that they have at least sixty
climb on board the suffrage band
wagon. Only fifty are necessary for a
constitutional majority.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait late Fri
day issued an emphatic denial of a
charge made against her in the senate
debate by Senator Gambler. the only
republican senator to vote against rati-
fication. Gambler charged that Mrs.
Gait had advocated intermarriage of
the white and colored races. Her de-
NAL was: 1T is an absolute fabrln-
cation that / have at any time advo-
Int nt.ris, hnt hn NNhi 70
and negro races. furthermore, l be-
lieve 1t to be an absolute crime"
