VICTORY IN WA.
 ELATE SUFfRAC|STS
By United Press)

Charleston, w. ", March H. Suffrage leaders here were today reel pients of hundreds of telegrams of congratulation from all parts of the country, following their sensational victory late yesterday in the senate of West Virginia.
 After a bitter fight, which hinged upon the seating or unseating of Sen ator A. R. Montgomery, an anti-suff- ragist, who had resigned and removed to Illinois, but who returned and de- manded the right to his seat again. the senate by vote of 16 to 12, de- cllned to permit Senator Montgomery to resume his position. This left the suttraglsts with majority of one, and the resolution ratifying the amend ment was then adopted by vote of 15 to 14
 The victory turned upon the dra- matlc flight of Senator Jesse A. Bloch from Los Angeles to Charleston. to cast his vote for the amendment. Pre- vlous to his arrival the senate had failed to ratify the amendment on a tie vote, II to II.
 Interest in the amendment now turns to Delaware and Washington, the legislatures of both of which states have been called by their gov ernors to meet on Monday, March p. for the purpose of ratifying or re- Jectlng the suffrage amendment. Fav- orable action by these two states will put the amendment into effect. West Virginia being the thirty-foulth state to ratify it.

T0SEND HUGE
 ARMY TO STOP
 TURK REVOLT
tBy United Pressl

London, March 11.-Occupation of Turkey on an extensive military scale and more drastic measures to enforce allied edicts in that country are considered as certain, in the opin- ion of peace conference circles in Lon don and Paris. It is understood that Premier Venizelos of Greece has offer ed to place Greek troops at the dis posal of the allies in subduing the Turkish white army" and it is probable that his offer will be accept ed, should the council of premiers take stringent measures to compel the subjugation of Turkey.
 General Milne of tht British army. now in command of the small British army facing Constantinople, will com mand the united allied hosts if mobi- lized.
 Allied leaders today denied that battles on major scale and with many casualties have occurred be- tween Turkish and allied forces. It was admitted, however, that the al lied forces are carrying out an i'm pressive military demonstration to calm Turkish nationalsts, who have opposed allied rule.

EXPECT FINAL VOTE fONPEACE
 TREATY TODAY
(By United Press)

Washington, March 11.-With the senate down to brass tacks" on Ar ticle X of the league of nations GOV enant, there is prospect that the treaty of peace ratification with res ervatlOns will come to a final "show down" today. Republican and Demo- cratic leaders expected that a decisive vote would be reached before night.
 All that must be agreed upon before the treaty is put to final vote is the Lodge or some other reservation to Article X, which now bars disposal of the treaty by the senate.
 When the senate started delibera- tions this morning, party leaders were to make their choice between the com promise reservations offered by Sen ator Simmons of North Carolina and Watson of Indiana. It was not con- sldered that the opposition could rally enough strength to put through the Lodge reservation. The compro- mises were offered when the senate voted down the Lodge reservation four days ago. The compromise by Sena- tor Simmons apparently has the favor of the Democrats. Senator Simmons was the missionary" senator whose visit to the white house, where Pres ident Wilson was asked to accept cer- tain compromises, brought forth the letter which the president at once transmitted to Senator Hitchcock.

 ON ASSEMBLY RECORD

Little Rock, March 1.-The period for which employees of the general as- sembly were continued on the pay roll to complete the records of the re- cent special session, expired Wednes- day. It has been a physical impossi- bility for the clerks to place all bills on the records in this time, so they are going right on with the work un- til they are through and then ask the next assembly to recompense them for their time. The clerks worked night and day trying to get the records com plete within the given time, but the number of bills was so great, and each bill so long, that this was an impos- sibility.
