At the 1918 convention, the United

constitution to admit Farm Women to

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.

Our work is largely social. The
farm woman is busy, and her aeetvi-

Bolsheviki Launch Expected
Attack on Dvina Sector.
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.
The British detaohm ent is 'with-
drawing from Batum to Constanti-
nople. The advices da not state whe-
ther the situation at Datura, which
recently hacl been regarded as threat-
ening, had improved, warranting the
withdrawal of the British., or if it
has grown worse and the British were
'
compelled,e.led,
to withdraw.
There have been no operations of
great moment on the Polish front.

German Army is
1 Over 400,000 Strong
A despatch from. 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. Niessel adds that the German
Minister of Defence, Noske, is in the
hands of the General Staff and that
the German Government is capable, if
willing,, of obtaining execution of the
ixr ty clauses by the country.

holders. 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-

Mortality Rate From Flea
Hal£ That of Year 191$
A despatch from rWashinton says:
—The mortality rate due to the in-
fluenza epidemic this year was about
half of that in 1918, said a statement
by the Public Health 'Service, an-
nouncing that the present epidemic
apparently had leeched its peak.

said, "of the excess mortality rate
