Universal Suffrage for First Time in Russia Petrograd (Via London), June 10. Elections to thr district and municipal councils began here today. For the first time in Russian history universal suffrage was m operation. SUFFRAGISTS AT WAR OVER REFERENDUM Friends of Limited Franchise Bill Indignant Because Antis Insist on Invoking Pop x ular Vote. The actual starting of the referen dum petitions has precipitated sharp shooting between the forces of women who are to fight out this campaign. The suffragists, who wre highly elated over legislative enactment of their limited suffrage bill, are now ex pressing great indignation that their opponents should insist on invoking a popular vote, and are suggesting that the antis would do better to de vote themselves to war work than to put obstacles in the way of the wom en seeking the franchise. Back at this onslaught comes the Nebraska Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, with this answer, issued as an official pronouncement: "The fact that we have desided to ask for a referendum upon the suf frage bill appears to have called forth the wrath of the suffragists. We hear such statements as "When the Ne braska women are engaged in patriotic tasks, etc., the antis put up their light to deny these women a voice in public affairs. Who are the patriotic women of Nebraska? Surely not the suffragists. "When war was declared in August. 1914 the Red Cross called for funds and, responding to the call, a small band of anti-suffragists collected over $4,300 .dollars in less than ten days and sent it the American Red Cross. The Franco-Belgian Relief society (now the War Relief) was founded in 1914 by anti-suffragists, and in every patriotic and humane movement you will find, the 'antis' giving unselfishly of their time and money. They do not work as 'antis,' but as loyal, patriotic women. No blare of trumpets accom panies their work. It is done quietly and unobtrusively. "The state president of the Suf frage society was publicly quoted last week as follows: 'But while suffrage members stand ready patriotically to help in every good work, they should not forget that national woman suf frage is the fundamental principle un derlying all that they do.1 The 'antis' ask no reward for service to coun try. It is an insult to the majority of the good women of Nebraska to even suggest it. "Why are the suffragists so dis turbed over the proposed referendum? Is it because of the statement made recently by the official suffrage organ that 'legislatures are more sensitive to party dictation, party political debts and business interests than are the voters?' We believe that the public can be depended upon to draw a con trast between the actions of the anti suffragists and those patriots who are now picketing the White House." The latest from the suffragists is a warning issued by Mrs. Barkley, pres ident of the State, Suffrage associa ton, admonishing vters against sign ing the petitions "without proper in quiry." Anderson Severely Hurt In Automobile Collision A slipper that slipped from the brakes caused the automobile driven by Mrs. Slay McAdams to collide with a Serman avenue street car last night at 7:30 o'clock. Mrs. McAdams and two occupants, Mrs." Joseph Lowe, 801 North First street, who owns the automobile, and C. E. Anderson, Twenty-eighth and Lincoln boulevard, were thrown clear of the car. Mrs. McAdams suffered a strained back and Mrs. Lowe escaped unin jured. Both were able to proceed home. C. E. Anderson was most se verely injured, sustaining lacerations about the face and scalp and a frac tured nose. He was taken to the Lord Lister hospital, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. A. L. Davis. The machine was going east on Capitol avenue, when a northbound car crossed in front of them at Four teenth street. Mrs. McAdams imme diately pressed the brakes, but her foot slipped off before they responded. The front part of the machine was badly damaged. Morris & Co.

Omaha Sends Out 262 Sailors in Single Week Omaha led the central division for the week ending June 7 in the num ber of "navy enlistments, as compared to its population.

Omaha was far in the lead of Kan sas City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Detroit and Indianapolis. So far 1,332 men have enlisted from the Omaha recruiting station, 768 less than the final number of 2,000 alloted to this territory. , Films Will Show Real Life at Great Lakes Life as it really is at navy training stations will be shown in movies each night this week.

They want to charter the boat for a day's outing. RED CROSS DRIVE SOONJVILL BEGIN Chairman Wattles Says Omaha Will Have Little Trouble in Raising Its Share of $250,000. Omaha's share of the $100,000,000 fund to be raised during National Red Cross week, June 18 to 25. is set at $250,000 by the Council of Na tional Defense. Although Omaha's quota to he national fund amounts to more than $1 each for every man, woman and child in the corporate limits of the city, Chairman G. W. Wattles of the finance committee is confident of he success of the cam paign. Mr. Wattles already has received several subscriptions totaling more than $5,000 toward the Red Cross fund. Want Small Subscriptions. "We want the big subscriptions, but the fact that this is a popular move ment and the small subscription from the individual is just as highly prized as the large one from the man or business house which can afford to give heavily, I shall be satisfied bet ter if my team turns in as its share 25,000 $1 subscriptions than five for $5,000 each, because we want to make it a work of the people as a whole," said a member of the committee. The twelve captains of teams ap pointed are selecting their assistants and in a few days will sart the drive. Omaha Is Paying Its Grocery Bill Promptly People are paying their grocery ac counts more promptly since the Re tail Grocers' association started a campaign of newspaper advertising a few weeks ago, urging the customers to pay more promptly. Regarding this J. J. Cameron, sec retary of the 'association, has the fol lowing to say: "We got such satis factory results that the grocers now want to create a separate fund to carry on this work. They want to educate the consumers in various ways for the consumers' own benefit as well as for the grocer. There is no doubt that a more friendly co-operation between the grocer and his customer would be a great benefit to both. Consequently, in order to create sentiment in favor of economy and confidence the columns of the daily papers will be used for this pur pose. However, it costs considerable money to have this done. The small dues paid in by the members is not sufficient to pay this expense, conse quently, at our last official board meeting, it was decided to request all members to send in their checks, for $3 each, to the secretary's office for this purpose. Not only the members of the association should contribute to the fund, every grocer in Omaha should pay his share, as they all get the benefit." ' Registration Does Not Prevent Navy Enlistment Ensign Rayley wishes to call atten tion to the mistaken opinion of many persons that men who have registered cannot enlist in the navy. "They can enlist up to the time thev are drafted. Then their choice of service ecases," the navy officer said. He called attention to the fact that the navy would not be benefited by the draft, but must depend for re cruits entirely on volunteer enlist ments.

REAL ECONOMY Awarded SAYS RUSSIA WILL STICKTO ALLIES Prof. F, Pisecky of Bohemia Declares That Russia Will Round To All Right. Prof. F. Pisecky, from the Institute of Pedagogy of Jicin, Bohemia, a former oliicer in the reserve in the Austrian army, who has spent three months on the Russian front, where he was wounded and then voluntarily crossed into the Russian lines, spoke here last night and this afternoon he speaks at the Tel Jed Sokol hall. He was drafted into the Austrian army against his will, same as thou sands of his countrymen were, and took the first opportunity to escape and help the allies. After twenty months spent in detention camp, he enlisted in the Serbian volunteei division at Odessa, as a lieutenant. Shortly afterwards he was assigned to the Serbian legation at Petrograd. to take part in the political propa ganda for Bohemian independence. In December, 1916, he was sent to England with reports to the Bohem ian leader, Prof. Masaryk, about the situation in Russia. Upon his return to Russia he witnessed the Russian revolution and now in his present tour his main purpose will be to describe the revolution in his lectures and help the Bohemian independence movement in this country. His stay in Russia gave him a thor ough insight into the conditions pre vailing there and he is absolutely con vinced that Russia will come out of the present turmoil to the greatest satisfaction of the allies. Russia Will Not Quit. "Russians are an honorable people and will not forsake the allies, ' said Prof. Pisecky, "they are a Slavonic nation and will not let the Serbians perish. They are open minded enough to see that a separate peace with the central powers would be their suicide. Prof. Masaryk coincides with my opinion and writes from Russia, where he is at present, that the doc trine of peace without annexation and indemnities is losing ground. "The farmers, business men and in dustrial workers are taking up arms. The revolution in Kronstadt is satis factorily settled and the revolutionary attempt in Perejeslav will be settled in the same manner. The revolution was aimed against the government and in favor of war. The turmoil that followed the revolution must be considered as unavoidable and a nat ural outcome of such a complete and unorganized change of government. "I am convinced, however, that the Russian army will begin a new of fensive and that this year will bring a great movement on the Russian front. All that is necessary is to begin and the first victory will inspire the army and tke nation, to the extent that it will be impossible to talk of an untimely peace. "Hindenburg's telegram offering Keace to the Kussian workmen, will ave the opposite effect. The situa tion is serious, but by no means hope less. There are more points favorable to the successful evolution of the sit uation In Rusi.ia, than those that are unfavorable." Julius Orkin Returns From Buying Trip East Julius Orkin returned to Omaha yesterday from an extended buying trip to New York and other east ern points. , Mr. Orkin reports business exceed ingly brisk in the east and that manu facturers of women's apparel are mak ing ready for the greatest season in history.

In many of the churches today an opportunity will be given Omahans to pledge sub scriptions to the fund.
