EDITORIAL COMMENT ON
 RECENT NOTE To rTATv

Rome, Aug. 16.-The first editorial comment by newspapers here on the re- cent note to Italy from Secretary Colby. regarding the Russian situation. an peared today
 Trlbuna says that without recognizing
 General Baron Wrangel, the anti-baI- sneVlk commander in South Russia
 America 'resolutely gravitates toward france and adds it must not be forgot ten that besides the abstract, theo- logical America represented by Wilson, another more real exists, of natural enthusiastic, simple plutocracy, which has nothing to do with the democratic policies of world conciliation'
 ontinuing the newspaper declo-a. The war mentality has now turned to concrete aims of peace, countable in money and these instincts have eloped a new vigility consisting of the kind of political and financial eugenics typicaily American, partly Puritan, partly pioneer and partly profteers. It is not strange if the political spheres reflecting this economic intolerance of the ancient, cultured plutocracy from the other side of tAe Alps, has found suitable ally in Russia in the primitive unbridled plu- tocracy from the other side of the ocean.
 The Idea NazionaIe says: "The ener- getic precise note unveils those intcrna- tional political deceiyers who preach the gospel of peace while waving the bloody sword over Europe's head. The note, while it cannot interrupt the policy If to Russia, can at least mod l crate the too great haste of the Italian | political authorities" The newspaper l hinks the note greatly strengthens Frances policy.

Vote in Tennessee Today.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 17.-UneXpected adjournment of the lower house or the Tennessee legislature today after three hours of debate prevented final acton on the federal suffrage amendment
 Suffrage opponents moved for adjourn ment until tomorrow on the plea that members should have more time to delib- crate. The house fairly seethed with ex- citement Efforts to hold the body in ses- sion. however, were unavailing and the motion carried, 5 to A.
 Opposition leaders said the vote was virtually a correct indication of sentl- ment on ratification. The suffragists de- clared no importance should be attached to it.
 A final vote tomorrow was regarded as almost certain.
 Debate on the motion that the house concur in the cction of the senate ln ratl- lying the amendment centered largely on the contention that this legislature had no right to act on ratification, as clause of the state constitution provides that legislature, to pass on a proposed amend nent. must have been elected prior to the submission of the amendment by con- gress. Speakers opposing this view point ed to opinions attributed to W. l.. Frier- son, solicitor general of the United States, and Attorney General Thompson of Ten nessee, that decision of the supreme court holding void clause in the Ohio constitution relating to ratification of fed sral amendments also nuilified the clause n the Tennessee constitution.
 It was conceded by many suffragists that whether women of the nation would vote in~ November depended upon Ten nessee Favorable action by Florida was said to be out of the question mad all ef- fort sto persuade the governors of Yer mont and Connecticut to call the legisla- lures of those states in special session nave met with failure.
 Thirty-five states have ratified the amendment eight have rejected it and if North Carolina postpones action until next year, Tennessee is virtually the last hone of the suffragists.

than the amount which is here huggetted.
Export duty is put down at Frcs. 500, 900
| know this sun or more is paid for su-
gar alone. Is there no export tax paid
on syrup? Excise duty on rum does not
figure on this budget. Sundry Reve-
nues-I see that St. Thomas has contri-
buted Frcs. 4 600 towards the support of
the Leper Asylum. How is it St. Thomas
contributes so little considering the total
cost of maintenance is Frcs, SO, 900 3?
Richmond Sickhouse:-The amount con
tributed bv st. Thomas to this institution
is down at Frcs. 5000 while the cost of
maintenance is Frcs, 101, 600. This con
tribution is also small. | do not see any
