Maryland Seeks Injunction to
Establish Legality of
Amendment.
MAY AFFECT ELECTION
Would Restrain v. 8. Secretary Of
State From ProeiaimIna Suffrage
Until Validity Is Passed On
BY Supreme Court.

INSTRUMENTATION OF the Mary.
land Legislature in directing the at.
torney general to seek before the su.
preme court an injunction restraining
the secretary of state Of the United
States from proclaiming the federal
suffrage amendment. II It should be
ratified by 36 states. until its validity
is established. was said by the Ma
tional Association Opposed TO Woman
Suffrage TO be a novel step In Amer.
lean legal procedure which might az
feet the presidential election In No
vember.
Miss Mary G. Kilbreth. president OF
the association. said Marvland's action
meant that for the first time the valid.
ity of a proposed constitutional amend.
ment would be passed on by the courts
before II was made a part OF the ma
tion's fundamental law, instead of
after, In which it is strikingly dlTeren,
from the prohibition amendment.
which is In effect while being con-
tested in the Supreme court.
"If the suffrage amendment were
proclaimed ON mere official notices as
the State department recently In.
formed u association It might do"
Miss Kilbreth said. the entire presi.
Dental election might be thrown into
the courts on account of the doubtful
legality Of ratification in various re-
ferendum. states and others where the
legality is being contested.
1.-THE resolution authorizes not only
an injunction to prevent proclamation,
but also seeks to take up the entire
questions Of validity from the power
of Congress to submit such an amend
ment to the right OF a legislature to
ratify It without the consent OF the
people.
While the action of Mississippi and
Delaware proves that there is no i'm
mediate danger of SO states being
counted for the amendment, Maryland
now has erected a stone wall Of de.
Tense against federalized woman suf-
frage."

WANTS TURK EXPELLED
Wilson Insists That Sultan Must
Leave Europe.
Stress Laid On Protection Of Amers
can interests As Well AS Those Of
Other Countries.

Observation-Disclosures Of Presi-
dent Wilson's opinion that the often
repeated intention of the Allies that
"the anomaly Of the Turks in Europe
should cease" ought to be carried out
in framing the Turkish treaty charac-
terized the American ~rejoiner to the
recent Allied note transmitting infor-
nation as to the status of treaty nego-
tiations.
While the strength of arguments for
retention of the Turks In CONSTANT
nople was recognized. the note said,
the American government believes
that the arguments against II are far
stronger and contain certain impera-
tive elements which it would not seem
possible to ignore" The American re-
joiner was handed to the French am
bassador here on March "a for trans
mission to Premier Millerand and is
made public by the State department
on advices that it had been delivered.
Representation Not Advisable.
President Wilson, ii says, does not
deem it advisable in the present cir
cumstances that the United States
should be represented at the confer
ences, as suggested by the Allied COM
munication. He feels. however, 1t was
added, that as this government lie VI
tally interested In the future peace OF
tie world II should frankly express its
views on the proposed solutions OF the
different questions connected with the
Turkish treaty"
Comment on some of the territorial
phases and on the whole economic pro-
gram of the proposals as to the treaty
was deferred pending more complete
information as to the objects sought.
The note takes occasion to say. how
ever. that II is the understanding OF
the government of the United States
that whatever territorial changes may
be made in the former Ottoman en-
pire, such changes or arrangements
will | n no way place American citi.
cents or corporations or the citizens
or corporations of any other country
In a less favorable situation than the
citizens or corporations of any power
party to this treaty"
The American expression notes
with pleasure that provision is made
for Russian representation on the In
t%ernational council which II proposed
shall be established for the govern
ment Of Constantinople and the
straits" In this connection 1t adds,
This government is convinced that
no arrangement that Is nov made con-
corning the government and control of
Constantinople and the straits can
have any element of permanency. un-
less the vital interests of Russia in
those problems are carefully provided
for and protected and unless II is un-
derstood that Russia. when il has a
government recognized by the civil
lied world. may assert It's right to be
heard in regard TO the decisions nov
made"

lmay have reduced the danger in

racesg Many believe the influ-
enza epidemic which swept the

war was a variant of the pesiil-
ence that follows wars, but If Sur

ice. returned fro ma study of con

out of danger.
Everyone can remember how
the plague originating among
China's 5 millions. through lack of
sanitary knowledge used TO spread
westward through Siberia and in
wade Russia proper and even at
times break into Germany. The
indifference of Czarlstic Russia To
ehe health of the people made
them easy prey and il was not
until cholera broke out in Altoona
and other German points whore it
was fought with modern means
and organization that il was
checked. Some eases even then
reached London and our coast had
