aSperating because to this day no one
has advanced an argument in opposi-

argument used to defeat suffrage for 80
long years.
The question which women are ask

victory be denied when victory itself
was SO decisive? New York women got
the vote from the men of New York by
brilliantly waged referendum cam
paign in 1916, but they haven't been
able to get even so much as a report
on jury bill from that conservative
citadel, the Assembly judiciary COM
mittee, although they have worked for
such a measure year after year since
1921. Massachusetts has a similar his
tory, and there the situation is aggra-
waited by the fact that the statute re-
lating to jurors provides that ANY per-
son qualified to vote for representative
to the General Court shall be liable to
jury service" Since women do vote for
such representatives, one would think
that let them in for jury service. The

The new Poland as the giving to its
diplomatic representatives of ambassa-
dorial rank implies, is by way of being
or becoming a great power And yet
the human experience of its present
leaders is, in pattern, essentially very
similar to that of those who have come
TO the top in the smaller countries
which were once part of Russia. The
great Pilsudski himself. for instance,
Is regarded by the holly nationalistic
LithuanianS as a renegade" for the
reason that he comes from a part of
Poland where Lithuanian is or was
largely spoken, and which the Lithu-
anians look on as theirs" In talking
with the writer once about this attitude
of the Lithuanians, Marshal Pilsudski
admitted that while, politically speak
ing, he was devoted Polish patriot, lie
nevertheless cherished sentimental af-
lection for the Lithuanian countryside
from which he came "C'est ma fai-
blessed" he said, with a wave of the
hand and one of his attractive smiles.
However, this Is not the place to start
gossiping about Polish-L Lithuanian rela-
tions. The only point wish to make
here is that men like the new Polish

although, politically speaking, they were
Russian subjects. The ESthonians and
Let's had been their serfs, and had re-
ceived their freedom only few decades
before serfdom was abolished in Russia
itself. W..
The Lithuanians, similarly, we're more
or less subject to their Polish land
lords, although both they and their
landlords were politically subject to
Russia. When Lithuania declared her
independence every Lithuanian who
could speak languages and had had
some experience in the world of politics
and affairs was needed to fill the newly
created public offices. When the writer
was travelling up and down the Baltic
states in 1919 and 1920 the little city
OF Kovno, Lithuania's capital, was, Gu

simple reason that the men he was

All that is known at present about
that Paris drama has been revealed by
French journalists, those representatives
OF the exterritorial power who had many
a time and in many a country helped
the police in finding the truth about
strange happenings.
The attitude of the French people is
easy to understand. They do not make
1t a matter of politics, but they firmly
oelleVe that such happenings should
not take place in their capital, notWith-
standing the fact, as one of the French
newspapers puts it. whether 1t is a
Russian general "a a simple French
cobbler. This incident gives ample
materl9 iUr anti-Soviet propaganda,
and the Nationalist group in the
French Parliament demands the rupture
of diplomatic relations with a country
which does not observe the elementary
rules Of hospitality and friendly rela-

keep to its promise of not interfering
in the internal affairs of France.

that the general impression of the as
ISOLATION, directed formerly by the late
Grand Duke Nicholas and the late
Gen. Wrangel and recently by Gen.
Kutiepov, to be an organization of a
definite monarchist tendency and with
an aim of restoring the Romanov
dynasty in Russia is far from being
accurate. When the White armies went
into exile after the collapse of their
efforts to overthrow the bolshevik
| regime their leaders found themselves
facing heavy problem.
The mass of emigrees comprised not
only men educated and cultured, who
naturally could adapt themselves to life
and work in foreign country, but also
a considerable number of soldiers.
These men, mostly peasant sons or
CoSsacks, were hot prepared for a
struggle for life in new surroundings,

BY DIR. LEoNID sTRAKHovsKY.

When on a Sunday morning Gen.
Alexander Kutiepov, president of the
Association of Russian Officers and Men
of the Anti-Bolshevik Armies, left his
home in Paris to go to the service in the
Russian orthodox church three men
and woman were watching him at the
corner of the street near a powerful
gray limousine. AS soon as he came
near the automobile one of the men
pressed chloroform mask on his face
and, aided by his companions, dragged
the general into the motor car, which
left at high speed. 1t roared through
the central streets of the French CAPT.
tai, almost deserted on Sunday morn
ing and disappeared. The next day
it was seen by an innkeeper ZOE miles
from Paris and then vanished COM
pletely.
Paris the worlds most civilized city,
became the scene of a kidnapping that
reminds one of the tactics used in the
dark middle ages by those professional
murderers called "bravi." Thus 1t seems
that our most modern, most progressive
most civilized twentieth century is con-
fronted with situation that one could
believe to have been left forever in the
remote past of history
1t is almost incredible that such
things can happen in our days. But the
news speaks for itself. Moreover, there
is almost a certainty that the kid
mapping Of Gen. Kutiepov is the work
of the Soviet secret police known as the
Ge-Pe-Ou, the new name for the ole
Che-Ka, and that the headquarters OF
these modern "braVi' are established
in the Soviet embassy. We have, then
the picture of a diplomatic representa-.
tive, whose activity should be beyond
any suspicion, but who protects by hi:
immunity men who under the pro.
visions Of the criminal code of any
civilized state would be considered a:
first-degree murdererS.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that the
French press, with the exception of the
Communist paper, and the people Of
Paris are unanimous in demanding
from the government a Qualification o

of Michigan in a case involving the
status of women on the jury went so
far as to hold that man embraces

linois the Supreme Court has read the
mind of legislators who enacted jury

nineteenth amendment and has de-

Why didn't eligibility to jury service

Of these States-in Ohio Indiana and
