NEW YORK. July 27.—Equal suf
frage and other legislation affecting
women figured prominently this year
In the discussions of a large majority
of the state legislatures. The ses
sions of most of them have now come
to a close and a summary of their
activities collated by The Associated
Press dlscloss that the question of
woman suffrage came up for delibera
tion in 22 states and that divorce laws,
mothers’ pensions, women police,
minimum wage, eugenic marriage or
other subjects relating to women were
considered ln_ 27 states.
The legislatures of seven states
adopted resolutions whereby a consti
tutional amendment giving women
equal suffrage rights with men will be
submitted to the people at the fall
elections either this or next year.
They are Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, and Pennsylvania In 1915;
Iowa, South Dakota and West Virginia
in 1916. Tennessee adopted a similar
resolution, but it must also be passed
by the next succeeding legislature
before it can be submitted to the vot
ers. So did Arkansas, but the resolu
tion was Ineffective because of a pro
vision of the state constitution which
forbids more than three constitutional
amendments to be submitted at one
election and three had already been
filed with the Secretary of State.
California adopted a resolution de.
daring that woman suffrage in that
state had been an unqualified success.
Alabama is considering the question at
an adjourned session this month.
In twelve states woman suffrage
measures met defeat—Connecticut.
Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Michigan,
New Mexico, North Caroline, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont
and Wisconsin. Three votes defeated
the measure in Indiana. It was passed
by the Senate with only three votes
registered against it, but a motion in
the house to call the bill out of com
mittee failed to carry, 46 to 49.
Three votes also killed the measure
in the Texas legislature, where it was
Introduced in the house. A two
thirds’ majority, however, was re
quired to pass it and the suffragist
supporters claimed a great gain. The
resolution did not reach the Senate.
Eight votes defeated the bill in the
Assmebly of Wisconsin and there wae
a bitter contest on the question ir
, Montana where, undaunted by the
defeat of their cause at the genera
election last year, the suffrage adher
ents renewed the fight. In Delaware t
proposed constitutional amendment
was defeated decisively in bott
houses; in Florida in the lower house
in New Mexico and North Carolina 1
died in committee. In Michigan t
proposed amendment to the constitu
tion giving the women the right t<
vote for presidential electors and al
officers of educational nature wa
never reported out of the Senate com
mittee. The General Assembly o
Connecticut declined to send thi
measure to the next assembly fo
ratification.
DONEGAL SLOW IN
OFFERING RECRUITS
DUBLIN, July 27.—“Donegal has
the unpleasnnt preeminence of being
tho county in the British Isles which
up to the present time has returned
r the smallest proportion of recruits,”
declared Judge C'ooke in opening the
summer session of the Donegal courts,
at Lifford. Of 21,000 men of recruit
able age in the country less than 500
have joined the colors. The propor
tion of recruits to population is only
about a quarter of that in Ireland as
a whole.
ENGLISH TEACHERS
HAVE LEAVE EXTENDED
W ' - —
LONDON, July 27.—A number of
London school teachers, who were
, granted leave of absence by the Edu
cation Committee a year ago in order
to take up exchange teaching in Can
ada, have written that they “do not
wish to travel by sea at the present
timo,” and therefore wish their leave
of absence extended, "until the sub
marine menace is less dangerous.”
The Education Committee has decided
to extend their leave until January 1.

RUSSIA BELIEVES
FREEDOAA DE PRESS
PETROORAD, July 27. — Prince
ScherbatofT, the new minister of the
Interior in a recent speech to a gath
ering of newspapermen who' were in
vited to the Home Office, said that he
did not believe in a heavy fettering of
the freedom of the press, even In war
times, and declared that he purposed
to ask representatives of the War
Office, the Admiralty and the Ministry
of the Interior to discuss the whole
question with the leading newspaper
editors, in an effort to reach a more
satisfactory arrangement than that In
force at present.
The mere fact that the minister
personally met and talked wtth the
representatives of the newspapers
marks a surprising departure from
tradition.

PARIS, July 27.—The shortest sol

solidly built enough to carry a sol

self at the recruiting office at Ver
sailles the surgeon on duty refused to
examine him, but later he was incor
porated in the 168th infantry at Lens.
The butt of ridicule because of his
diminutive stature, he proved he could
follow the prcc and soon earned the
stripes of corporal.

LONDON. July 27.—Reporting In
detail how the British and French
forces took five lines of Turkish ;
trenches during recent attacks on the
Gallipoli Peninsula, a Reuter’s cor
respondent discloses that armored ,
turret motorcars were used In the*
trench warfare. Heretofore the use of
these cars has been restricted mainly
to reconnaissance and raiding, espe
cially in co-operation with aeroplanes,
the purpose for which they were built.
It was a surprise, even to the Brit
ish soldiers, to have the nrmored cars
come up to help in the rout of the
Turks. The cars, which are Incor
porated as part of the Royal Naval Air
Service, had been brought ashore
secretly and hidden, In anticipation of
the fact that they might be helpful,
notwithstanding that the roads there
were anything but ideal for automobile
work. When the allied movemnet be
gan on June 4, at noon, the armored
turret cars made their way from their
station through loose dust, more than
ankle.deep and over ground pitted
with shell holes, and across the Brit
ish trenches, over bridges that had
been laid for them. They moved up
to the very edge of the first Turkish
line of trenches, but there they had to
halt, as they could not leap the deep
and wide caverns which the Turks
had dug. The appearance of this new
and formidable weapon enhanced the
general state of confusion and terror.
In which the Turks seemed to await
the attack and when the cars opened
fire with the Maxim gun which they
carried in a turret, they scattered the
Turks to the rear.
But as soon as the Turks had re
covered from their surprise, they
found the cars conspicuous targets
Bullets began to ping against their
armored sides and shells fell around
them, and one car’s turret was
knocked Off, but nobody was killed.
The correspondent said one prize of
the day was "the largest bag of Turk
ish prisoners yet secured, and the cap
ture of several German officers and
bluejackets from the former German
cruisers Goeben and Berslau."

UNCONSCIOUS MONTHS
TERROR OE EXPLOSION
AMSTERDAM, July 27—A Bosnian
soldier who has fallen Into a seem
ingly perpetual sleep In consequence
of terror following the explosion of
shrapnel, is under treatment in a war
hospital at Innsbruck, Germany.
The soldier was admitted to the
hospital from the Galician front in
March. He has been asleep ever since.
The patient is terribly emaciated and
must be artificially fed. By continu
ous electric treatment the doctors
hope to bring him back to conscious
ness, although their efforts have not
yet shown any signs of success. The
soldier is insensible to needle-pricks
in the nose, arms or back.
WATERPROOF UNIFORMS
FOR THE GERMANS
BERLIN, July 27.—The present
German “field-gray” uniforms having
been found to wear badly, the troops
are being gradually supplied with a
new uniform of which the coat is gray
and the trousers blue gray. The coat
is tested to resist a water pressure
of three inches of water for 24 hours,
while the cloth of the trousers will
resist a pressure of five inches of
water for the same time.
DEVON PACX° HORSE
FOR BRITISH NAVY
LONDON. July 27. The Prince of
Wales, who owns a fine stock farm in
Devonshire, is to make an attempt to

merly the finest of its kind in western
Europe, is very sturdy and strong, but

tinet. Only about a hundred purt
r and half-bred speciments of the breed
remain In England.
