At the 1918 convention, the United Farmers of Ont=trio uruerclea their constitution to admit Farm Women to membership on exactly equal terms with ,nen. In pessiag, it is iuter'estiug to note that they were the that body of men to thus officially recognize women as equals. "socially, economi- cally, and politically," as the women phrase it. I heard an Qlheial of the Malted Farmers say in reply to aquestion: "There is nothing in our constitution to prevent a woman occupying the president's chat: " The L?.F.W.O. field !heir 1913 con- vention on the same dates as that of the C.F.O. The provisional omcears were elected for the ensuing year, a Board of Directors was appointed and our organization launched. Our work is largely social. The farm woman is busy, and her aeetvi- ties are confined very largely to the wails of her home. Too many of; them fail entirely to regard themselves as members of a great class, inslispens- able to the nation's prosperity. That is the chief, perhaps we ought to say the first, lesson the organization wished to Mach men and women both, that our farms, an 'integral part of the industry which produces 80% of the nation's wealth, emelt individual farm worker a citizen of the country, with a citizen's responsibility and privilege.

A despateh from London, says: -- The pursuit by the Bolsheviki of the remnants of General Denikine's forces into the Crimea, the launching of an expected Red attack on the north Rus- sian front in the Dviva sector, and than conclusion of the Lettish operations against the Reds are pointed to by the military observers as the most salient developments of the past week's oper- ations in Russia as repotted to the War Office here. On the western sector of the south Russian front the resistance of . the volunteers against the Bo1hhevilti ap- 'pears entirely to have collapsed with the Reil occupation of Odessa. The Reds now are pushing toward the Dniester along a front of 120 miles. The reports show that the Bolshe- viki suffered c',,:saster in their at- tempts to force the line of the Don ' and Manitch Rivers, having lost heav-: fly in men milled :or made prisoner.!! Tia Reds, however, are making rapid progress in the Dtephes region, prob-' ably "attracted by the possibility of occupying Sebastopol and Theodosie,; Black, Sea posts in the Crimea, and) seizing the Petrov* railroad. The' taking of "this line wouldconstitdte i a serious threat to the anti -Bolshevist communications with the volunteer fleet in the Caspian Sea, which has! its base at Petrovsk.

Paris says:—The German army is still 400,000 strong, according to a report received by the Committee of Foreign Affairs from Gen. Niessel, !lead of the Baltic Mis- sion. In addition there are 100.000 policing farces, efttcers and non-ceen- rnissioned ofilcers. Geinu:ny also is well supplied with tanks, machine guns and airplanes, 1 In the neutral zone alone ou the right bank of the Rhine the policing forces number 15,000. Gen.

The Secretary estimated that Europe had received approximate- ly $4,000,000,000 from the United States since the armistice was signed. The position of the United States Treasury was said by the Secretary to be very strong, and on alanday the last issue of "loan" certificates of in- debtedness, about $60,000,000, will be redeemed, leaving no outstanding floating loan in the sense of long- term certificates requiring to be re- funded at maturity. Tax certificates outstanding amount to $2,985,949,e00, all of which will be paid by forthcom- ing income and profit taxes. Altogether,' Secretary Houston de- olhied'to agree with the pessimistic view of soma public men, who fore- cast a financial cras1, and asserted that, while there were many difficul- ties ifiiculties still to be overcome, there was nothing in the situation to be regard- ed. as 'extremely grave.
