The Tennessee house Of representa-
tives tried to undo its action in rati-
flying the suffrage amendment by ex-
punging from its journal all record Of
the ratification and voting to noncon-
cur in the action of the Sc aate. Next
day the senate refused IT, join with
the house in its attempted reversal
of the ratification. Secretary of State
Colby says woman suffrage is an ac-
complished fact and that there is no
chance for reconsideration.
Another great victory for the Poles
was recorded last week. General
Budenny's bolshevist army, which had
invaded Galicia and was threat
ening Lemberg and the rich oil
| fields of that region, was cut
off and virtually destroyed Only
few detachments escaped and
these were reported in disorderly re-
treat. Budenny's men, mostly mount
| ed, were advancing on Lublin and had
nearly surrounded Zamosc, midway
between that city and Lemberg, when
the Poles fianked them and attacked
from the east, putting them to rout.

losses of the reds in men and mate
rial were heavy. The retirement" of

ian territory for strategic purposes
despite the orders of Lithuania to the
contrary. What Germany would do
with the many thousands Of reds who
took refuge in East Prussia was a
pressing question. The Poles feared

hatred of the Poles is so great that
their motives are open to grave sus
