WILL PUSH SALE OF
AMERICAN VESSELS
SHIPPING BOARD PLANS CAM
PAIGN TO PLACE CRAFT
ON THE MARKET.
Operation Of American Ships on For
ner German Trade Routes to All
Parts Of the World Has
Sanction Of Board.

WashingtOn.-Prepa for the
sale of AFOREMENTIONED steel mef-
chant ships will begin at once, Chair
man Benson of the shipping board
stated on August 16. Plans for an ex-
tensive advertising campaign to place
the vessels on the market Is under
way, he said, and actual disposal OF
them will start ut soon as the neces-
sary details have been completed.
It also was stated that an active
campaign to sell the wooden ships
would be launched. Definite plans,
however, still are under consideration.
Bids for the vessels will be enter
tanned as they stand, the chairman
said, at minimum prices of Sl60 a
lightweight ton for coal burners and
$40 a lightweight ton for oil burners
built on the Great lakes. to $175 for
coal burners and $185 for oil-burning
vessels of over 10000 lightweight tons.
Purchasers must agree, Chairman
Benson said, to maintain such routes
and services as the board considers de-
sirable.
Operation of American ships on for
mer German trade routes to all parts
of the world has the sanction and sup
port of the shipping board, Chairman
Benson declared in announcing coop
erative working agreements reached
between the American Ship and Com
merce corporation Of New York anc
the Hamburg-American line. He de
clared that the shipping board woule
look forward to seeing one of its con
structive plans carried out.
"There is no German money IN th'

there any agreement for German in
vestment in any American companies.

GIVEN FRANCHISE
LONG FIGHT ENDS M TRIUMPH
WHEN TENNESSEE VOTES
FOR SUFFRAGE.
Estimated There Are Now 27,OOO, 900
Women In the United States Who
Have Same Rights at Ballot
Box as the Male Voter.

Nashville. on Wednes-
day, August IS, became the thirty
sixth state to ratify the Susan b. An
thony federal suffrage act. The con-
stituti0nal change thus will become eff
fsctive In time for the u 100000 wom-
On Of the country to vote in the presi-
Dental election in November, unless
the lower house of the Tennessee as
sembly rescinds its action in adopting
the ratification resolution, 40 to A. :
Suffrage leaders declare they will
not slacken their efforts, as they de-
sire to have Mt least one other state
ratify before the November elections,
as they expect fight to be made
against Tennessee's action because Of
the clause IN the state constitution
which prohibits any assembly from act
ing on an amendment not submitted
United States Solicitor General Frier-
son and the attorney general Of Ten
nessee have declared this clause to be
unconstitutional in the light Of the re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
the Ohio referendum case.
Ratification by the Tennessee legis-
lature was the elimination of an in
tensiye drive made by suffrage propo-
nents to have the amendment made eff
fective in time for the women of the
country to vote in the presidential
election in November. The drive was
started when West Virginia became
the thirty-fourth state to ratify early
this year.
A legal attack will be made on suf-
frage, according to the officers Of the
Tennessee Constitutional league,
which Is composed Of lawyers. The
argument will be that the state con-
stitutlon forbade action by this SEES
sion Of the legislature.
Aside from this and the possibility
Of change in the result through re-
consideration, the only step remaining
to make the nineteenth amendment
operative is the PRONUNCIATION of de-
cree from the secretary Of state.
Text 81 Amendment.
The suffrage amendment reads as
follows: Resolved. by the senate and
house of representatives Of the United
States of America, in congress assem-
bled (two-thirds of each house concur
ring therein), that the following arti
Gle be proposed to the legislatures OF
the several states as an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
which, when ratified by three-fourths

as part of said constitution, namely:

Defenders Of Warsaw Are Using
Tanks, AirpIanes, Armored Trains
and Artillery in Their Battle
Against BoIsheviki.

Warsaw.-The fifty-seventh, fifty
eighth and eighth Bolshevik divisions
on the Warsaw front have been an
initiated and thousands Of soviet SOL
diers made prisoners.
Unless BOlshevik military leaders
succeed in quickly organizing more
successful resistance, defeat Of the
soviet forces before Warsaw will be-
come a Every serious one.
The Russians lost their bearings in
trying to meet attacks on all sides
from the Polish columns on their
flanks. The Poles, continuing their
advance, have occupied Kaluszyn,
thirty-five miles east of Warsaw ;
Siedlce, fifty-seven miles east of the
capital; Milzyrzec, twenty miles
southeast of Siedlce, and Wlodawa,
125 miles southeast of Warsaw.
Russian soviet forces are fleeing in
a disorderly panic along the front be-
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers,
where the Poles are advancing with
success.
In their counter-attack to relieve
pressure upon Warsaw, the Poles are
using tanks, airplanes, armored trains
and artillery in great numbers. AT
NOvo Minsk, east of here, and Serock,
to the northeast, 5000 prisoners, seven
cannon, hundreds of wagons and vast
quantities of supplies have been cap
| tured.
The Bolshevik retreat north and
east of Warsaw, where the soviet
forces were closely driven by the
Poles, took the semblance of rout AT
some places. On the extreme left
however, and in the region of Lem
berg, soviet advances are recorded.
