Governments Action Scored

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-Expulsion from
Paris of William C. Adamson, Labor
member of the British Parliament, and
harry Gosling, leader of the English
transport workers, would do more for
establishment of "councils of action"
IN France than years propaganda,
Marcel Cachin, Socialist member of the
French Chamber of Deputies, told The
Associated Press to-day. M. Cachin
has just returned from Moscow,
strongly advocating that the French
Socialist party join the Third Inter-
rationale.
Referring to the incident yesterday,
when Adamson and Gosling, who had
come to Paris for labor conferences,
were requested to leave, NJ. Cachin
said:
at is the entire British working
class which has been nsulted. Our
British friends had come to Paris in
accord with the French workers to
consider the most efficient means to
prevent war and conclude definite
peace with. Russia. If our rulers be-
llcve that by eXpelling British dele
gates they can prevent us from con-
celtcd action with British labor they
are mistaken. Nothing can prevent an
lnternatlonal union of proletariats
Decidedly, were our ministers in the
pay of the Bolshevki they could do
lttle better work for them than by ex-
asperatlng the working classes of both
France and Great Rritain"

L Professor and 8 Sandwich Men
Lower Prices ON the Heights

There was time when the neigh
bors Of DR.. Robert Grimshaw on Wash
lngton Heights looked askance upon
his schemes for making that COM
munity Manhattan's hilltop Utopia,
but since yesterday noon they have
been behind him-to woman. His
victory is the more remarkable be-
cause he is the man who announced
a few years ago that woman was an
utter failure and the cause of most of
the ridiculous inefficiency that char
acterized the United States of America
DR.. Grimshaw won the day, not only
against the skepticism of his neigh
bors, but against the business methods
of greengrocers Of the neighborhood.
and he won it with a mere corporal's
guard of sandwich men. 1t was three
weeks ago that DR.. Glimshaw, me-
chanical engineer Of note and q men,
Der of the faculty of the College of the
City of New York, pronounced his
ultimatum.
Prices were much higher at the
stores near his home than the altitude
Oh washington heights warranted. He
served notice on dealers, particularly
or dealers in fruits and vegetables,
that prices must come down. If they
failed to come down, said DR.. Grim
shaw, he would bring them down.

finger and eight sandwich men sprang
to do his bidding.
Panoplied in the accouterments of
their trade, they were reviewed by DR..
Robert mshaw, who inscribed upon
them, fore and aft, the wholesale prices
of tomatoes, potatoes, green corn Gu
cumbers, lettuce and SO forth. Thus

silently for his cause.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-promn,
promulgation of the Federal woman
suffrage amendment, should the action
or the Tennessee Legislature TODAY be
cohnrmed, was promised by Secretary
Colby when word of the vote at Nash
vile reached the State Department. He
was prepared, Mr.. Colby said, to issue
the necessary proclamation Immediate
~ on receipt of official notice that
Tennessee had ratified the amendment.
When the word of ratification came
o1hclals of the National Woman's party
at once sought assurances from Secre-
tary Colby that the official action pro-
Mitigating the amendment would not
be delayed. They also urged their rep
resentatlves in Nashville to see that no
time was lost in forwarding the official
notlce to the State Department.
The woman's party also announced
tnat steps toward a national celebra-

woman's figure now in the Hall of
Fame.
There still is suffrage work 70 ba
done, the National American woman
Suffrage Association emphasized in a
statement issued from the headuuar-
ters here yesterday. The association
takes it for granted that opposition to
the Susan b. Anthony amendment will

ment becoming operative

pairing to meet any attacks which NAV

statement says. This would seem to
be automatically inevitable Even if
the amendment is to be the subject of
later attack, the Secretary of States
Immediate task is the proclamation.
Without the proclamation there is no
amendment to attack"
The word male" win not have to be
stricken from state constitutions. be-
cause it is "read out by the amendment
itself" the statement asserts. The
opinion of Charles f. Hughes is quoted
in support of this contention.
"Can the Presidential election be
thrown out if women participate in it ?"
the statement asks. It's answer is:
"Opponents could no more throw out
the Presidential election or find anv
grounds upon which to raise such
hope than they could cause the sun to
s.-nd still" But the sufragists, the
statement says, would have ground to
throw out an election if women were
denied the right to participate.
"Suffragists long ago ceased to oe
frightened at anti-suffrage threats" !"
the statement says, none OF which was
ever quite SO fatuous as this one"

For Volunteers

MOSCOW, Aug. 1S (By The
Associated Press)-Leon Trotzky,
Soviet Minister of War, to-day
issued a call for volunteers for
service on the southern front.
The call was issued in the course
of an address at an opera house
meeting here in honor of Bella
Kun, Communist leader and for
mer Foreign Minister of Hun
gary.
Trotzky's speech was devoted
almost entirely to an exposition of
a series of measures by which, he
declared, France and England had
directly and indirectly aided Gen
eral Baron Wrangel, the anti-Bol-
shevik leader in south Russia. It
was greeted with much enthusi-
asm.

ANTWERP, Aug. 1S.-Thc honor OF
making the second worlds record at
the seventh Olympic games fell to a
Canadian, Earl Thomson, who o-day
clipped one-tifth of second from the
110-meter hurdle mark, which was
established by an American in 1908.
Although Americans again scored
heavily, there were several disappoint-
ments and the jinX seems to be hover
ing over Coach Monkeys camp. With
l01 points to their credit, compared
to 49 for Finland and 26 for Sweden,
their nearest rivals, the Americans can
afford to laugh away any kind of
hoodoo.
Besides, Joie W. Ray, Americas hope
in the 1,50O-meter race, ran his trial
heat in such impressive style without
showing the slightest trace of trouble
with the sprained muscle in his leg
that American stock took big bound
for the final of TINS feature race.
American Forces Pace
Everything was set for a new hurdle
record with Barron in the finest form
Of his career and Thomson right on
edge. 1t was question only of which
one would set the new mark, both
American and Canadian coaches agree
ing that their respective charges would
run faster than ever before.

barring accidents, there was never any

Woman suffrage was won for the

when Tennessee. the thirty sixth state,
ratified the Federal amendment. Ap-
proximately 27,0OO,O00 women will be
entitled to vote in the Presidential
election this fall. State suffrage al
ready had enfranchised 17,50O,O0O and
ratification adds to this number $780,
600.
This marks the end of the women's
campaign for the ballot which began
obscurely in little meeting in Seneca
Falls, N. Y, in 1S48, swept across this
country, and extended the political
freedom of women to nearly every
other nation in the civilized world.
Fifteen states in the United States
already had conferred full franchise
rights on women, and in fifteen others
women were entitled to vote for Presi-
dent and for certain municipal offices,
but not for members of Congress.

4,
1919. Its wording was that of the orig
inal Susan B. Anthony amendments,
drawn up by the pioneer suffragist soon
after the Civil War had enfranchised
the coored people and following the
form of the Fifteenth Amendment. 1t
reads:
"The right of citizens of the United
States to vote snail not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex.
"Congress shall have power by ap-
propriate legislation to enforce the
provisions of this article"

PARIS, Aug. 18.-The French press
mentions the probability Of an inter
view in Switzerland between Premier
Lloyd George, who passed through
France to-day on his way to Lucerne.
and DR.. Walter Simons, the German
Foreign Minister, who also is in Swift
zerland on a holiday.
lie Temps says it doesn't know and
doesn't want to know whether the Brit
isl and German ministers intend to
confer, but suggests that Germany may
be anxious to make an offer to act as
an Eastern bulwark against Boil
shevism.
Voicng the French opinion, which
is opposed to allowing Germany to take
the lead against the Bolsheviki, lie
Temps says
"If the Polish victory develops as
we desire it should, Germany's offer to
Lloyd George will no longer be called
for and no one will need to worry
about the price of Germany's demands
tor acting as Europe's shield against
Bolshevism."
lie Temps says that as Germany was
continually fighting against the Euro
treaty, it doesn't see how that nation
could be asked to act as the de-
fender of order in Europe even if
Poland should be crushed.
Despite the antiEngilsh tone of a
majority of the French press on the
Polish issue, there is small body of
opinion which fears that France made
bad diplomatic move when she sep
arated from England, even though she
now has American support in her
stand. The Paris Midi considers that
France made the same mistake in en-
couraging General Wrangel that she
made in encouraging the Poles to cap
turc Kiev, capital of the Ukraine This
offensive only served to rouse Russian
national unity, with disastrous results.
No new note, it is said in official
circles, has been received from the
United States promising help for the
Poles, although it is hoped and ex-
pectcd that active American help ulti-
mately will be Forthcoming. Satisfac-
tion is expressed at the dispatch of
two American cruisers and a torpedo
boat to the Baltic, presumably to Dan
zig, where the activity of Sir Reginald
Tower in refusing to allow the unload
ing of munition boats caused much dis
satisfaction in French official circles.

Failed to Ratify
Special Sessions Called

The fact that many state legislatures
did not hold regular sessions in 1920,
and would be required to call special
sessions if the suffrage amendment
were to become effective in time for
the Presidential elections, was the last
great obstacle the suffrage movement
had to overcome. Even in states
where the women had voted for
many years and where ratification was
more or less an accepted fact the Gov
ernors hesitated to call special ses-

cause of local political issues which

Tie view is expressed in authori-
