OND TO GIVE'VOTE TO WOMEN Suffrage maps of the United States now show more than half the nation's territory to be governed by both its male and female citizens. Nineteen states and the Alaskan territory have enfranchised their women. This gives to the woman population of the coun- try 169 out of 531 electorial votes cast for the president. Wyoming, which granted the fran- chise to women in 1869, was the first state to have equal suffrage. Colorado followed the example of Wyoming in 1893, and Idaho and Utah in 1893. Within the last seven years, all the xe- maining states of the Western group except New Mexico have allowed full rights of citizenship to their women. Progress Slow In Central States The progress of the movement in the central and eastern states has not been so rapid. Kansas, which passed its suffrage bill in 1912, and New York in 1917, have been the only states of these groups to fully enfranchise wom- en. Illinois, North Dakota, Ohio, Ne- braska, Rhode Island, and Michigan have partial suffrage. The women res- ident in these states vote for presi- dent. Arkansas allows them to cast the ballot only at the primaries. Other States Have Considered Bills Equal suffrage bills have been con- sidered in most of the other states, but so far have been defeated. Indi- ana women'have met both triumph and defeat. -For a short time they were enfranchised, but the law has recently been repealed as unconstitutional. A referendum bill which if passed will give all the privileges of citizenship to the women of Maine, is now pend- ing. A like bill will be acted on in Michigan in about 10 months. edy-dramas that will bear more than one seeing."

The flight of 2,0 miles was made without mishap. The feat was accomplished by a bi- plane with two 270 horse-power eng- ines, carrying two pilots, an engineer and two mechanics. "Loading up at Hendon," said Mr. Page, "the machine, which with spares and luggage was over six tons in weight, proceeded to Paris, Lyons, and, to avoid the Alps, .continued by way of Marseilles. From Marseilles the journey was by way of Spezzia to Pisa, Rome, Naples and Otranto, the last point over a friendly country. The next and perhaps the most dif- ficult stage of the journey, was over the Albanian Alps to Saloniki, a trip of 250 miles across mountains varying from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, with no suit- able place for landing in case of need. "From Saloniki the adventurous party flew to theii base, overhauled the machine and prepared for a long distance bombing expedition, to Con- stantinople, a distance of 320 miles. "On their attacking trip they set forth wNith 16 bombs and on arriving at the Sea of Marmora throttled down from 2,000 to 1,600 feet, the Golden .Horn and other points being clearly in view. "After a short survey of the lights of Constantinople, and to make sure of their objectives, they came down to 800 feet and dropped a salvo of *four bombs, hoping to hit the Goeben which was anchored just beneath them. Unfortunately they missed the ship, but managed to hit one or two submarines that were lying alongside her. They later managed to land four bombs on the Goeben:". They were 30 hours in the air on the flight from London to Constantin- ople.
