The church going population of

the Armenian mandate" the senator
stated after a long conference with
Gov Cox, In which International affairs
Were the chief topic OF discussion,

WALL STREET AFFECTED
BY FOREIGN SITUATION

New York. July 24.-The stock mar
ket continued under professional guild
ance this week, shorts making further
inroads against quoted values, mainly
as result OF fresh complications In
the foreign situation.
Latest conditions in central Europe,
with special reference to Russo Polish
affairs. precipitated general weakness in
the foreign exchange market, the rates
for bills on London falling to the lowest
price in over three months Sympa-
thetic declines were recorded by remit
tances TO almost every continental
European center.
Domestic aspects of the financial and
industrial situation were not mate
rally altered, although speculative ir-
terests professed to derive some en-
couragement from the wage award of
the railway labor board and likelihood
of early hetion by the interstate COM
merce commission on the application OF
the railway executives for higher freight
rates.
Credit contraction made further head
way, the local money market being
again bare of time funds, but call
money was In free supply at an average
rate OF 8 per cent. Interior banks con-
tinued to strengthen their resources
against coming crop demands. with re-
sultant Withdrawals OF reserves at this
center
Rumors Of over production In the au-
tomobile trade and affiliated branches
met with denials, but the trend In cer-
tain. other lines Of industry, notably
textile, leather and rubber, was again
towards curtailment of production.

mocracy which follows every war, and
which in this war included women.

congress of the International Woman
Suffrage alliance last month in Switzer-

Hungarian women talk of voting and
sitting in their national parliaments,
when the United States, the greatest
republic In the world has not finished
its task of enfranchising women.

table, and l hope that Tennessee will

vote for the women of the nation"
