f a Vermont woman moves
across the Connecticut River into
New Hampshire, she loses her
municipal vote.
1t a New York woman moves across Poultney
River or Lake Champain into Vermont she loses
her state and presidential vote. But Vermont man
move to Florida and New York man can move
to Alabama and all his voting rights will still be pro-
ected.
Is there any reason why there should be this
discrimination between the two sides of river and
between men and women?
Is it Common Sense?
IF Vermonts Legislature is called in special
session. it can ratify the Federal Suffrage Amend
ment and thus do away with what is a ridiculous
disparity in the voting rights which the different states
give to women.
Everybody comedies that the Federal Suffrage
Amendment will be ratified in more than SO states
eventually.
Thirty-6ve states have already ratified it,

VOTERS, REaIsrER

The American voter, and that means
every naturalized citizen Of legal age
Of either sex, must register this year
Il he or she would cast vote in the
coming presidential election. 1t makes
no difference whether you have voted
in every election for the last fifty
years, whether you have or have not
changed your residence, or whether this
viii be your first use Of the franchise,
YOU must first register before you can
vote in the coming election. THIS rs
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, AND EVERY
VOTER MUST REGISTER AT HIS
PRECINCT POLLING PLACE. This
applies only to cities, as registration is
unnecessary in the small towns of Iowa
or in the country precincts. All citi-
zens Of Iowa who have been in the
state six months, in the county sixty
days and in the precinct ten days are
eligible TO vote, if they are 81 years of
age 81 older
The American voters are the jury this
year in the most momentous case in
the history Of the nation, and especially
true is this Of the Negro voters of
AmeriEa, and the voter who does not
cast q ballot, will by his Indifference be
guilty of criminal neglect. Every vot
er should be vitality interested in his
and the calibre of the men
that are to govern. The welfare of the
voter and the nation is at stake in the
decision that is made at the polls.

CARRANZA AT BAY WITH 1000 TROOPS
NORTH SEA BARRAGE
WAS AMERICAN PLAN

WASHINGTON, May liza coun-
ter charge that establishment of the
North Sea mine barrage was delayed
six months because Of the opposition
of Rear Admiral Sims and the Brit
ish admiralty, was made before the
Senate Naval Investigating Commit
tee today by Secretary Daniels III
presenting the second part Of his
reply to the officers char ycs that the
navy department had unnecessarily
prolonged the war by failure to CO.
operate fully with the Allied naval
forces.
The balrage, MI Daniels added,
was the most effective measure that
had been taken to check the subma-
rine and was fully an American idea.
The secretary also charged that
Sims had attempted in. his testimony
to rob the navy of credit for this
project and to give it to the British.
The plan was conceived, he said, IN
the Bureau of Ordnance in the navy
department and urged on the Brit.@l
admiralty for six months before It
was accepted.
During this time, Admiral Sims
constantly discouraged and opposed
the idea and when Admiral Mayo was
sent abroad and finlly convinced the
British admiralty of the worth of the
scheme and the necessity for adopt
ing it, Admiral Sims attempted to
convey the impression that the pro-
iect had been DELAYED while the Brit
ish attempted to ret the American
navy departments approval.

special interest for students of racial
history. Sardinians are small of
stature. Even their soldiers have an
average height fraction under FIVE
feet, four inches.
But the most conspicuous curiosities
of Sardinia are its nuraghi, great
round towers, relics OF the bronze age.
which served as fortified dwellings for
some prehistoric people. There are
5000 or more of these towers, some 60
feet high, usually about 80 feet in d.
ameter at the base, made of stone
blocks and smeared with clay on the
inside. Stairways lead to upper cham
bers and platforms.
Interesting as are these relics Of I'M
known inhabitants. even more fasci-
mating are the traces of ancient civili-
cations to be found in the daily life
of Sardinians of today. One may find
oxen blowing as they did In the days
of the Roman empire, implements
which were introduced by the success
sive occupants, one Catalan town
(Alghero) where there is no Earring
note in the illusion of old Spain, and
dances of the classic Greek period at
the mountain feste.
Only in Sardinia and Corsica is the
mufloni, predecessor of our sheep. to
be found. Wild deer and wild boar
are plentiful in the mountain districts.
Tunny fishing is major industry.
In area Sardinia Is comparable to
Vermont, but has more than twice the
population of that state. The island
lies directly south of Corsica, and is
separated therefrom by the narrow
straits of Bonifacio. In shape It has
been compared to human footprint.

THE MARSHALL ISLANDS

The Marshall islands, along with the
Carolines, were seized by Japan soon
after the outburst Of the war, and their
permanent disposition has been under
discussion. Their proximity to the
Philippines has been referred to in
this connection.
The two chains of curiously-shaped
atolls, or coral islands consisting Of
low-lying coral reefs encircling la
goons, known as the Marshall group,
lie little south of the center of an
imaginary line between the Philippines
and Hawaii.
Guam, Samoa and Honolulu form a
triangle of trade routes, with its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Near the center of this isolated
Pacific zone are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, a voyage of more than
5000 miles. The only other egress Is
steamer to Ponape which connects
with the French line to Singapore.
Like two loosely-strung chains Of
Jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast, each with its la
coon setting encased by strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri-
angles, harps and stirrups, and one
outlining bulls head with It's horns.
Straight-haired, dark-brown natives
still preserving the religious signifi-
canoe of tattoo and taboo, are to be
found.
Woman was given higher position
than among most savages because sue
cession was through the female line.
But the chiefs power was absolute, to
the point Of life and death. One am
bilious ruler learned an alphabet and
Is said to have beheaded all his sub
jects who seemed likely to acquire
more knowledge than he had. In some
islands the mother was allowed to
keep only the first three children. She
had to bury the fourth.
Skillful and fearless navigators, the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
sailing canoes in which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made of sticks. showing the To-
cations Of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With pc
titions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm trees
which they set Off in stone Enclosures.
Birds and fishes sometimes embodied
these spirits, they believed, and thus
certain species became taboo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentious. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
matched roofs covered the combination
house and storage room.
The two island groups are known
as the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is not more than 100 square
miles; their native population 1900.
