RUSSIAN RETREAT
ALMOST A ROUT
Advancing Polish Troops Find Little
Resistance from Over Confident
BOlshevik Troops.
(By United Press

London-The bolshevik recoil from
Polish counter-attacks in several sec
tors had begun to assume proportions
of rout, according to latest advices
from various sources today. Only
stubborn resistance at critical points
had enabled the Russian forces to pre-
vent humiliation of many of their re-
treating divisions.
The bolshevik withdrawal measures
more than ten miles at some points
and in the vicinity of Cierchanof $50
miles north and west of Warsaw, on
the river Lidynia) the Poles advanced
Is miles on 20 mile front.
All unofficial advices from Warsaw
declare the "red danger" is Temporal
lily over and that the city's imperilled
defenses have been restored.
The attack on Novogeorgievsky was
stopped at the outer forts, shrapnel
barrage tore great gaps in the ranks
of the advancing reds. They came dog
gedly on until within the machine gun
range when a hail storm OF bullets
moved them down in great wind rows.
AS they crumpled and began to give
way the Polish infantry charged, bay
onetting the retreating Russians. The
withdrawal became a rout and Poliss
cavalry, taking up the pursuit, drove
the soviet forces back ten miles be-
fore they could reform their ranks.

TENNESSEE GIVES
WOMEN THE VOTE
Nashville Assembly Becomes Both
State Legislature to Ratify Fed
eral Suffrage Amendment.
(By United Press.l

NASHVILLE - Woman Suffrage became
part of the basic law of the United
States today when the lower house of
the Tennessee Legislature ratified the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the
federal constitution by vote of 40 to
At. Inasmuch as the state senate had
already approved the resolution the
assembly's action made the state the
thirty-sixth to adopt the amendment
and SO brought Tennessee the honor of
insuring votes for women throughout
the Union in the election of next No
vember.
The incident marks the victorious
conclusion of a generation long fight
for equal suffrage in the United
States, first made national issue by
the activity of Susan B. Anthony for
whom the national amendment was
named.
The adoption of the measure follow
ed two days debate in the house of
representative. The first test of
strength resulted in tie vote of AZ
to 48. This was on motion made by
Speaker Walker, leader OF the anti
suffragists, providing that the resolu
ton proposing ratification be tabled
by the assembly. When two roll calls
failed to break the tie, the motion was
dropped and new motion proposing
ratification was passed by count of
40 to AT. Subsequently Speaker Walk
er changed his mo" to FAYE" making
the official vote so to As. This was
done so that he can move reconsidera-
tion of the measure, which suffragists
declare will not change the action TAX
en- by the house today.
The incident makes possible voting
for women in all states at both the
primary elections in September and
the presidential election in November.

(By United Press.)

Warsaw-Gen. Pilsudski's counter
offensive in the direction of Siedlice
and Brest-Litovsk, directly east of
Warsaw, has made good progress since
yesterday, resulting in the capture of
Demplin. He apparently is aiming to
split the Russian center at this point
and roll the bolsheviki back to the
north and south. The Russians have
opened bombardment of the railway
between Garvolin and Zelechof, south
east of Warsaw. Polish officers re-
turning from the northern front re-

ELECTRIC BOOST
JUST IN OFFING
Railroad Commission An
nounces Hearing Of EIec-
trio Rates for Aug. "a.
HITS KENOSHA HARD

ss2s III nj
Prospects of boost in the charges
to be made for electric current for
lighting and power purposes in Keno
sha are seen in the fact that the Wis
out notices that a hearing will be held
on August oath for an adjustment of
all rates charged by the Milwaukee
Railway & Light company in cities
served by this company and its sub
sidiary companies. No formal petition
for increased rates has been filed with
the commission by the Wisconsin Gas
& Electric company but it is under
stood that petition will follow ac-
ton on the proposition filed by the
Milwaukee company. The rates are
not proposed by the company, but the
commission is asked to make a survey
of the properties served and fix rate
which it holds will be fair to all con-
cerned.
Attorneys to Protest.
While many Of the cities in this sec
tion of the state are not at present
directly interested in the petition, it
is planned to hold conference of the
city attorneys with view of getting
up united protest against any plan
to increase rates without having hear
ings in every city to be affected by the
change Local officials of the company
asserted today that they knew nothing
about the efforts to raise rates. 1t was
intimated, however, that present rates
were not sufficient to provide for run
ming expenses and for reasonable
return on the investment" It is said
that the very large increase in the
price of coal has made present rates
for electricity as inadequate as were
the charges for gas service previous
to the recent increase in rates granted
by the railroad commission.
Would Hit Kenosha Hard
An increase in electric rates would
hit Kenosha hard. Many of the indus
tries of the city are now getting all
or a part Of the power from the high
tension lines of the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway & Light company. These
companies will undoubtedly insist that
the company make proper showing
that a larger rate is necessary.
Kenosha will be represented at the
hearing on August Oath by City Attor-
ney John C. Slater.
