less temporary award is made by the
railroad board. These chiefs think
they will be able to prevent serious
trouble, at least until the promised

Hopes of suffragists for ratifica-
ton of the federal amendment in time
to permit women to vote In the COM
ing presidential election are now
pinned on the action of the legislature
of Tennessee, and, that failing, upon
the North Carolina legislature. Gov
ernor Roberts of the former state, in
response to a request from President
Wilson. has announced that he will
call a special session of the legislature
in plenty Of time to act on the amend
ment. Governor Beckett of North
Carolina. who received a similar re-
quest from the president. has reiterat-
ed his purpose of advising a special
session in his state to ratify the
amendment. Gov. P. W. Clements Of
Vermont. although strongly urged by
suffrage leaders to call a special ses-
sion has not definitely stated that he
is contemplating action.
The war Of France, England and
Greece against the Turkish national
lists commanded by Mustapha Renal
Pasha, officially began with the Greek
advance from Smyrna in Asia Minor
to line eastward and northward be-
yond Soma, Akhlssar. Ala-Shehr and
Kelas. The most important operation
was at Ala-Shehr (ancient Philadel-
phia), where the Greek official state
ment claims the taking of 5000 prison
ers with many guns and other booty.
The position of the allied and oppos-
ing forces is roughly outlined as q thin
rectangle extending from the vicinity
of Aleppo in Cilicia through Anatolia
to Islnid. near COnstantinopIe. The
forces of the Turkish leader are
spread along the northern side of this
rectangle and those of the Greeks are
concentrated in the Smyrna area on
the southern side. their west wing on
the British and their east wing on the
French. The plan of attack is said to
be an advance of the Greeks against
MuStapha Kemal's front, an advance
by the French from the east and the
British from the west, hoping by this
converging movement to pen Kemal in
Anatolia and force his. surrender. The
Greeks are also reported to have a
force at tPanderma. on the south coast
of the Sea of Marmora. intending to
operate toward Smyrna. French
cruisers Smelling positions and villages
are reported to have repulsed Turk at
lacks at Adana, Tarsus and MerSina.
Evacuation of Americans from Adana
to Cypress has begun.
The Russian bOlshevic blow against
Poland, although delivered 60 divi-
sions strong. has not been decisive. In i
tense fighting has been in progress
along the entire Polish front, with the
reds making slight gains in some sec
tors and suffering defeat in others.
Taking into consideration the sue
cesses of General Wrangel in Crimea, i
the balance has been strongly against !
the soviet armies. Wrangel is report
ed to have recovered $4,000 square
miles and to have liberated 100000 |
people in his drive. His losses are
given as $500 dead and wounded,
while more than 10000 red prisoners
alone have been taken. Polish repre-
sentatives in the United States are
of an early peace with the
period of reconstruction.
