room on the ground floor.
1t was impossible tonight for the
police to ascertain definitely whether
there had been loss of life. fireman
reported that he was directing a
stream of water into an upper
window and heard screams from
within.
Another fireman said he saw an eld
erly man and woman appear at win
dow which was almost instantly OBJ
scured by smoke and that he did not
Isee them again.
In the confusion and sudden alarm
the hotel register was either forgot
ten and burned or was locked in the
hotel safe.
Army officers at the fort and the
hotel management declared that so
far as they had been able to ascer-
tain there was no loss of life. There
were about 200 guests at the Chamb

London, March S.-While definite
news of the allied occupancy of the
city of Constantinople is still await
ed and is expected at any minute, it
is stated in some quarters that oper-
ations looking toward that end have
become inevitable owing to informa

Turkish nationalist leader, is strengh

Information has also been received
that the Turks are concentrating in
eastern Thrace in contravention of
the terms of the armistice.
Lloyd George announced today that

the French in sending reinforcements

Delaware Les.sas sist1s f. fled in
Special Session
PROBABLE
Washington Is Certain and If Delaware
Is Secured but One State VIII
Be Necessary
RATIFICATION PROBABLE

Wilmington, Del. March S.-Gov-
ernor Townsend Saturday issued pro-
clamation calling the Delaware Legis-
lature in special session on March y.
The object specified by the Cover
nor in the proclamation are:
Action on the equal suffrage amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, leg
islation to avoid an undue increase in
the school taxes, and an app opriation
for the new bridge across the Brandy
wine River at Wilmington.
Washington March S.-The pre-
d d'ction that the Federal amendment
granting nationwide woman suffrage
would be ratified by thirty-six States
in tine to permit the women to par
ticipate in the national elections was
made tonight by the National Woman's
Party following the rece pit OF the news
that Governor Townsend of Delawa-e e
had called a special session of the Leg
islature for March %.
The suffrage workers have now OBJ
tanned ratification by thirty-three
States They are apparently certain
of obtaining ratification in Washington
State, where the Legislature VIII meet
also on March o. With Delawa.e e and
Washington State in line, they will
need but one more affirmative vote
They have not given up hope in West
Virginia, where another test vote may
be taken today. Two other Republ-
can States, Connecticut and Vermont
also are to be heard from.
Governor Townsend has announced
before issuing the call that he would
not call special session until ma
jority of the Legislature were favor
able to suff age ratification. His act
ion is, therefore, interpreted to mean
that Delaware will ratify as soon as
its Legislature meets.
II West Virginia ratifies, success in
Delaware and Washington would give
suffragists the thirty-fifth and thirty
sixth states. Final victory for the
amendment cannot be assured, how
ever, until a decision on the Ohio
referendum case is handed down by
the United States Supreme Court.
This case is to be argued during
March.
The women lay claim to the leaders
of both great political parties in Della
ware, among them Coleman Du Pont,
Republican National Committeeman;
Senator Ball and Congressman Layton.
The Democratic State Committee has
gone on record as indo.sing suffrage
and both Democratic and Republican
Committee Chairmen have argued
favorable action.
The calling of special sessions in
Delaware and in Washington by Re-
publican Governors" said Miss Mabel
| Vernon, Secretary of the National
Woman's Party, lis an indication that
the Republican Party realizes it's res
possibility for the success or defeat
of ratification. 1t is now up to that
party to see that the Republican Legis-
latures of West Virginia, Delaware
and Washington do actually ratify."

The fire insurance companies col
lected in Vermont last. year total
of S2,213,OOO and paid out in losses
$4,000. The balance collected
above losses paid is a million and a
quarter dollars. This sum includes of
course the commissions of agents as
well as the income forwarded to The
companies on their Vermont business.
Even this total does not include, we
believe the premiums collected by
mill mutuals, for automobile insurance
and other special features. 1t is easy
o say and hard to prove that some
body else is charging too high a
margin of profit but, from the figures
supplied by the state insurance com.
