Russia Will Likely Give
Women the Right to Vote
London, March 21. One of the
most notable movements among Xhe
politically rejuvenated populace of
Fetroerad is the growing agitation for
the participation of women in- the po
litical lite ot the country. A Keuter
dispatch from Petrograd says if is
generally believed some promise of
woman suffrage will be incorporated
in the new constitution when the con
stituent assembly convenes.
Reform, not only in politics, but in
the army is proceeding apace. At the
instance of the new war minister, a
"commission for army reform" was
assembled, presided over by General
Polivanoff, former minister of war.
The commission purposes abolition of
many social restrictions on private
soldiers.

GERMAMYE
ONLY BARE EARTH
Not a House or Tree or Any
thing Destructible Left Be
hind Retreating Foe.
SURPRISED BY CAVALRY
(From a Stiff Correspondent of Ths Asso
ciated trass.)
British, Headquarters in France,
Mareh 21. (Via London.) The pur
suit of the Germans by the British
troops continues and at places sharp
fighting ensued today. This was par
ticularly true near Croisilles (north
east of St. Leger), which is stilt
strongly held by machine gun com
panies. The armies have been in
such close touch at other places that
field fighting tactics have been (m-
filoyefl, the men firing from skirmish
ines.
Wherever the British troops pene
trate territory formerly held by Ger
mans they encounter the same condi
tions of destruction and devastation
as in Bapaume and Peronne. Only a
few villages have escaped, the Ger
mans in these instances having been
compelled to leave before their plans
to lay waste could be carried out.
Surprised by Cavalry.
The use of cavalry by the British
and French seems to have taken the
Germans by surprise, upsetting some
of their calculations. In one village
supper was abandoned, together with
much ammunition, and in other
places newly opened boxes of high
explosives were found, with which
the Germans had planned to destroy
the villages before leaving.
That the wholesale destruction was
characteristic of German thorough
ness was shown by captured orders
on the'subject. These directed the
blowing up of all houses, wells and
cellars except those occupied by rear
euard outposts, the rear guard being
held responsible for making their
shelters uninnaDitaDie Detore tailing
back. All farming implements were
burned or destroyed. Wherever a
building was soared it was first ren
dered filthy. . The orders also direct
ed the assembling of filth at all wells
to contaminate the water.
Cigar in Cat's Mouth.
The destruction of fruit trees now
apparently covers the entire belt of
evacuated territory, even those cling
ing to the walls having been stripped
off. In one abandoned position a
large black cat was found nailed to
an upright board. A cap was on its
head and a cigar was in its mouth.
A British observation party, work
ing forward today on horseback, had
rather exciting experience. 1 He
patrol was attacked with machine gun
fire, by three German airplanes,
which swooped very low, but failed
to hit any rnembers of the party!
Prisoners recently taken appeared
in the city bewildered when told of
the extent of the German retirement.
Think It Joke at First.
Thev said thev thought it a great
joke when they first Jieard of the Ger
man retirement; they supposed it was
solely tor the purpose ot getting tne
British deeper and deeper into the
mud of the Somme. But when it
came to abandoning positions that
had been fortified with months and
years of labor there, was much de
pression in the ranks. Most of the
German guns that formerly boomed
along the Somme seem to have been
utterly swallowed up.
Neutral Markings Give
Ships Little Protection
Christlania (Via London), March 21
It is probable that the neutrality
markings on Norwegian vessels soon
will be removed. Agitation for their
removal is being conducted by the
ship owners and seamen's organiza
tion as, it is pointed out, the markings
not only do not any longer protect
neutral ships, but make them an easy
prey for submarines, which now bold
ly attack neutral vessels, but are
more careful to keep at safe distance
from unmarked ships for fear of these
being masked cruisers or armed mer
chantmen.
Wyoming Cattleman,
Reputed Rich, Dead
In Gas-Filled Room
John Landers, about 65 years old,
reputed to be a wealthy cattle man of
Buffalo, Wyo., was found asphyxiated
in his room at the Lyons hotel, 113
North Thirteenth street, yesterday
evening.
Sam Rosenthaut, clerk, found the
body when he broke down the door
to investigate the smell of gas which
came from Landers' room. The gas
jet was wide open.
Landers came to Omaha a week
2o from Hot Springs. S. D,. where
he had been in a sanitarium. Letters'
found on him indicated that he had
been ill for some time.
He was last seen in the hotel about
4:30 in the afternoon. He was found
dead at 9:45 in bed, fully dressed. The
windows of his room were closed.
Miss Ruth Harl Reaches
Saloniki for Red Cross
Emmet Tinley of Council Bluffs
received a cablegram yesterday from
Miss Ruth Harl, daughter of his de
ceased life friend and law partner, an
nouncing her arrival at Saloniki,
Greece, after her departure from
Paris in February. Since the war be
gan. Miss Harl. who is one of the
heroines of the battle lines on the
western front, has been connected
with the American Red Cross, and for
the last vear she has been m the field
service driving one of the automobile
ambulances. She was recently trans
ferred to the Balkans and will drive

Warning as to Our
Waning Vitality
(By Lee Herbert Smith, M. D.)
In urging upon the country the
observance of last Dec. 6 as "Medi
cal Examination Day," the Life Ex
tension Institute issued a circular in
which it called attention to the rea
sons why every man should take
stock of his physical condition just
as frequently as he takes stock of
his financial condition, thereby learn
ing his weak spots and taking meas
ures to repair them before it is too
late.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of one's condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and
listless, one should take a spring
tonic. One "that will do the spring
house-cleaning, an old-fashioned herb
al remedy that was tised by every.
body nearly 50 years ago is still safe
and sane because it contains no alco
hol or narcotic. It is made up of
blood root. Golden Seal root, Oregon
Grape root, Queen's root, Stone root,
Black Cherry bark extracted with
glycerine and made into liquid or tab'
lets. This blood tonic was first put
out by JDr. Pierce m ready-to-use form
and since then has been sold by mil
lion bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If druggist does
not keep this in tablet form, send
$1.00 to Doctor V. M. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat
less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of
water between meals, and take an uric
acid solvent after meals for awhile,
such as Anuric (double strength), ob
tainable at almost any drug store, it
was first discovered by Dr. Pierce.
Most every one troubled with uric
acid finds that Anuric dissolves the
uric acid as hot water does sugar.-'
