TeriJokl, Finland, Russian Frontier,
Aug. 11.—Development of the soviet
government In Russia has been such
that today th« vast Rusalan territory
from the Pacific to the Baltic la di-
vided into three distinct sections. In
the attitude of the people toward bol-
shevlsm.
Iu a recent 4,000-mile trip across
the entire country from 'Vladivostok
to the Finnish border, the Associated
Press correspondent observed that
soviet support diminished with In-
creasing distance from the capital at
Moscow, where the supreme flats for
Ironclad militarism are Issued.
Reds Admit Failure.
In the remote eastern sections of.
Siberia the bolshevik! admit failure
to establish their system and a#e seek-
ing to create a buffer state known as
."the far eastern republic." Siberia
proper from Irkutsk to the Urals,
where eight months ago bolshevlsm
was welcomed as a relief from the
Koichak' regime, is ready for another
chance to do anything which will
bring economic betterment. Proceed-
ing further westward, the traveler
finds European Russia like a great
mobilized army, In starvation circum-
stances and cursing-the red, yet exe-
cuting their orders passively.
Peasants May Strike.
The apportionment of food as well
as the relative proximity to the mili-
tary headquarters, apparently Is a vi-
tal factor in maintaining soviet sup-
port. Everywhere through Siberia
one hears stories that the peasants
are refusing to plant tbelr fields or
rate stock because of repeated acqui-
sitions. Throughout til* central part
of this eastern region, where the mili-
tary oppression has been largely
eliminated, efforts are being made to
establish card systems . tor the a*-,
change of tnknufactiired gopds'ln re-
turn for agricultural products.
Trying to End Strife.
The government leaders urge faith-
fulness and sacrifice on the part of
the people until they can end civil
war and foreign aggression by mill*
tary viotories. They assert that ant
failure which may have attended
their effotts to thoroughly establish
the soviet program has been due to
backwardness on the part of the Rus-
sians or to foreign interference.
Shortage of Brcud Noted.
In Omsk, center of the Siberian
grain districts, there is at present a
shortage.of bread, which apparently
it* not due to scarcity qf grain. Re-
ports indicate It Is ths result of a
boycott conducted against the gov-
ernment by the peasants because they
are not satisfied with the returns they
receive in exchange for products. This
situation consequently has resulted in
a shortage of clothing and other
manufactured products and textile
machinery for the rural population. In
the far eastern country, where a com-
promise has been made with featuies
of the boltthevlki system, there 1s indi-
cation that concessions would be made
in attempts to gain economlo contact
with the outside worHl through the
Orient There are evidences In that
section of private rights to property,
tree trade and invitations for exploi-
tation of the natural resources by
foreign capital. These steps are said
to have been taken with Moscow's
approval, and M. Krasnolchckoff, the
new government's foreign minister, is
reported in Moscow for the purpose
of obtaining documents giving bolshe-
vik recognition to the republic's inde-
pendence in commerce and trade.
EXPREMTES TO
-- (Associated Press .Dispatch.)
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 13.—The
Tennessee senate today by a vote of
26 to 4 adopted the resolution provid-
ing for the ratification of the 19th
.amendment. It was an easy victory
for the suffrage force but even the
most optimistic were surprised at the
large majority. Seventeen votes were
necessary, but most polls listed from
20 to 22 as favorable and the high
water mark set at 24. "
The suffragists, certain of ratify-
tlon by the senate have proceeded
from the beginning of the legislative
session with the expectation tyat the
real fight would be In the lower house
and while their campaign in that
quarter was not relaxed the vote had
hardly been announced before the
workers were redoubling efforts to
secure favorable action by t£e repre-
sentatives.
Hum Adjourns Till Monday.
The house adjourned today until
Monday afternoon at a o'clock without
reference to suffrage but it was stated
later the committee to which the
olution was referred would meet Mo!
day night to consider it. *
An hour before the senate convened
the galleries and aisles weya packed
with spectators, among wh'om the ac-
tive and pro and anti-suffrage workers
predominated.
Speaker Todd had little dlfifculty In
silencing the onlookers when the body
was called to order. But when the
seventeenth vote In favor of ratifies'
tlon was recorded the pent up enthu-
siasm of the suffrage cohorts went
beyond restraint and forced a tem
porary suspension of the roll call.

Washington, Aug. 13.—Authority
to increase express rates 12} per cent,
was granted the American Railway
Express company today by the Inter-
state Commerce commission.
The Increase by unofficiaf estimates
will add 335,(00,000 to the annual
Income of the company. The com-
mission's decision, however, does not
take into consideration- the recent
award of the railroad laber board of
increased wages approximating |4S,-
000.000 to express col fany employes
and it Is ekpected application soon
will b emade by the company for an
additional advance in rateft to meet
the new wage scales.
In touching upon the fact that the
express company had been allowed
only about half of the Increase asked,
which was t5.1< per cent, the com-
mission expressed the opinion that the
full amount. awarded should be re-
tained by the express company Itself
and that none of It should be allowed
to the railroad carriers. The commis-
sion suggested that the present ex-
press company contracts with the rail-
roads under whloh 60.26 per cont of
its gross earnings go to ths roads for
the carrier service should be modified
$m accomplish this purpose.

Mra Catt Denies Charge.
There were few members of the as
sembly remaining In Nashville to-
night, most of them having gone to
their homes for the week end.
In reply to the charge of Senator
Chandler, republican, and suffrage
oppdhent, made during debate today
that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi-
dent of the American National Suf-
frage association, had advocated in-
ter-marriage between whites and ne-
groes, Mrs. Catt tonight in a formal

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 13.—Ratifica-

over the federal suffrage amendment
as a result of developments' today
which Included a special, message
Governor Blckett, urging ratification
and a favorable report on a ratifica-
tion resolution by a committee of the
upper house of the legislature.
Although the victory of suffrage
supporter! in Committee appeared
'overwhelming—a vote of 7 to 1 for a
favorable report being recorded—the
action merely marks the beginning of
an expected bitter contest.
The suffrage leaders were given new
hope by the governor's plea but the
executive's statement that he person-
ally was against the federal amend-
ment served to bolster up antagonists
of the suffrage movement In the low-
er house.
Action on the resolution In the sen-
at probably will come Tuesday.

Marlon, Ohio, Aug. 13.—To gov-

of a setting sun, Senator Harding re-
plied today that "if we look backward
to clear our vision we may look for-
ward more confidently."
"Call it reactton, if you like," said
the republican nominee in a speech
here; "but we need the old standards
of honesty, the lofty standards of fi-
delity.
"If we are living In the past, to re-
call the wisdom of Washington, the
equal rights of Jefferson, the genius
of Hamilton-~the restoration of Mc-
Klnley or the awakening of Roose-
velt, I am happy to drink of fhe past
for my inspiration for the morrow.
"Engineering Is a scientific pursuit,
and I never knew an engineer who
did not turn his transit to his back-
sight to make sure of his line by
which we were to move on. Every
hope of life is of tomorrow, but the
glory of ten thousand morrows was
wrought in the wisdom gleaned on
yesterday."
The speech, delivered from the front
porch of the Harding residence to
members of the Ohio Republican Edi-
torial association, was a plea for a
return to old-time morality and fair-
ness. If everyone concerned had been
"rigidly honest," he said, peace might
long since have been established and
industrial and social unrest quieted.
He also advocated a forest policy to
Insure an adequate domestic supply
of timber to meet, among other needs,
the demand for print paper pulp.

ficial Information gained here today.
It was said that while Russia ac-
knowledges such a demand is unpre- .
ccdented in history, the soviet consid-
ered the action necessary for tha

fense and which it would be impos-
sible to use for imperialistic ends. Tha
general impression here is tluit Poland
