YANKEES ANSWER LOYALTY APPEAL NEAR ARCHANGEL American Troops Demur at Returning to Service; Told Life Was at Stake By .-IssociateJ Press. Archangel. April 10.—A company of American troops recently showed some hesitation in returning to the fighting front south of Archangel, declaring that the war with Germany was over, and that the United States was not at war with the Bolsheviki. The regimental commander told them they were fighting a desperate defensive battle and appealed to them to stick it out. The company then left for the front. The situation arose when the com pany named was ordered back to the front after a rest period at Arch angel. The officers were informed that the men did not want to go to the front again. They asked to have their arguments answered. The men contended that they were draft men conscripted for the war with Germany, which was finished now, that America was not at war with the Bolsheviki, that the entire Bolshevik question was the subject of much political debate and incesis ion in the United States, and that so far as they were concerned they were unable to see why they should be fighting if there was no war. The regimental commander said that, perhaps, their own lives de pended on the fighting on this front and then made his successful appeal, reciting to the men traditions of the American army. RIGHT TO VOTE IS PROMISED WOMEN BY REPUBLICANS Mrs. Medill McCormick De clares She Is Assured of Bill's Passage Philadelphia. April 10.—Assur ance "on behalf of the Republican party" that the suffrage amend ment \vould be passed by Congress ■within two weeks after it convenes was given the delegates to the an nual convention of the Pennsylva nia Woman Suffrage party, which opens to-day. at their annual ban quet hfre last night by Mrs. Medill McCormick, president of the Na tional Woman's Republican commit tee. Mrs. John O. Miller, of Pitts burgh, president of the State organ ization, said that Governor Sproul had assured the Pennsylvania Wom an Suffrage party of his support in getting through the legislature the referendum on the suffrage ques tion. Mrs. Richard Aldrich, of New York, representing the National Women's Democratic committee, said she was not going to prophesy about the passage of the federal amendment. Democracy, she de clared, has always held to the idea of state's rights and yvas inclined that way on the suffrage question. Women are already politicians, she said, and now that they "seem to have gained their point and about to gain the franchise they must look forward another step; they must help to make the policies." "I have learned not to be grate ful to'parties until they have deliv ered the goods." said Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president of the Suffrage party. "I will not thank the Republican party in the person of Mrs. McCormick for the promised franchise, nor the Democratic party in the person of Mrs. Aldrich until women can vote. When I look around and realize that to-night we might have been celebrating the gift of the franchise but for two men in Pennsylvania belonging to the Republican party. I remember that I have a rankling grievance. lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Pal mer. of General Pershing's staff, was among the other speakers. Nearly $25,000 yvas pledged at the banquet to conduct a suffrage campaign in the State. CONFERENCE POSTPONED State compensation officials to-day announced that the conference on the proposed compensation amend ments drafted by officials of the board scheduled for Harrisburg on April 15 had been continued until Tuesday, April 22 at 2 p. m. in the Supreme Court Chamber..

BERLIN SOVIETS DEMAND RELEASE OF SOCIALIST Prussian aiul National Gov ernments Put in Predica ment by Turn in Affairs By Associated Press, j Berlin, April 10.—The resolution adopted at the opening session of the Soviet Congress here Tuesday night peremptorily demanding the re lease of Georg Ledebour, the Inde pendent Socialist leader arrested during the Spartacan outbreak, has placed the Prussian and national governments in an awkward predica ment. The demand was based upon the fact that Herr Ledebour had been elected a delegate to the con gress and the contention that he should be permitted to exercise his duties in that connection. The chair man of the congress ruled favorably to the independents on a prelimin ary motion, and a turmoil resulted in which the violence of the recri minations hurled from the left by the radicals caused the majority So cialist members to waver enough to insure the necessary votes to carry the motion. The result was applaud -1 ed and the officials of the congress , had no other choice than forthwith I to address messages to the national I and Prussian governments, the states i attorney, and the authorities of the | Moabit jail where Ledbour is con fined apprising them of the wishes of the Soviet delegates. The mem bers of the government were booked to leave for Weimar early Wednes- I day morning. The Prussian minis- Itry of state is said to be opposed to liberating Ledebour, but the inde pendents propose to press the issue j to the extreme limit and hurry a | decision, it is indicated by a dec laration of Herr Rosenfell, former Prussian minister of justice and an independent leader. He blandly in formed the presiding officials that he supposed it might be taken for granted that they would promptly | proceed to comply with the wishes of the delegates so that Ledebour might be able to take part in the deliberations of the congress imme diately. Among the resolutions introduced in the congress is one calling upon the government to appoint five dele gates of the congress as members of the German peace delegation. In addition to the Ledebour case there has arisen that of Dr. Geyer, an Independent Socialist deputy to the national assembly. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says that the states attorney at Leipsic has requested the assembly to suspend the immunity of Deputy Geyer so that he may be tried for alleged complicity in an attack made during the last Sparta can outbreak in Leigsic. when the independents extorted 400,000 marks from the mayor by threats with army. Dr. Geyer, who also is a dele gate to the Berlin Soviet congress, is a radical independent with Spar tacan-communist leanings. Body of Drowned Boy Is Found in River The body of Adonese Grimes, six year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Stew art Grimes, 103 Cherry street, who [ was drowned at noon yesterday when he lost his balance and fell from the steps on the River Front into the Susquehanna river, was re covered last evening. Alexander Mc- Cann, 124 Dock street, a member of the Paxton Fire Company, found it.

Use McNeil's Cold Tablets, Adv. CZECHOSLOVAKS FACE STARVATION WOMAN DECLARES Daughter of President Points Out Need For Quick Food Relief I'arla, April 10.—Utter misery, star vation and despair prevailed in the new republic of Czecho-Slovakia be fore tho Allied governments began to ship food supplies to that country in the latter part of February. It Is not known here whether this situation lias been relieved to any large extent, but large shipments of flour, milk and other supplies have since been forwarded to Prague and additional foodstuffs were in Triest awaiting transportation to the Czecho-Slovaks. An appeal by Dr. Alice O. Mnsaryk, daughter of President Musaryk, and head of the Czecho-Slovak lted Cross, written on February 20, pictures the conditions in her country as a terri ble one. American. British anil French authorities are endeavoring to respond. Face Starvation It is stated that, unless help ar rived quickly, a million children un der six years old were doomed to die; that 2,000,000 children up to fourteen years were weak from underfeeding and that the mortality among the old and feeble was appalling. Separated from tlie Allied terri tories on three sides by Germany and Austria, the Czecho-Slovak republic was, even before its birth, ruthlessly and systematically denuded by the Austrians of all foodstuffs and sup lies. When hostilities were suspend ed, there was in Czecho-Slovakia no corn, meat, clothing or medicines. The scanty weekly ration of a pound of flour to eacli person in Prague, the capital, ceased on February 20. Two thirds of the cattle and pigs of the country already have been slaughter ed and tho laek of fat is extreme. The supply of milk was only one-thir tieth of normal. More than eighty per cent, of the babies of Prague were rachitic, anaemic or consump tive. More than half the patients in the children's hospital died of con sumption. In the mining districts the position as reported here, is still worse. At Kladno, 110 of the 105 babies born in 1918 died of consumption. Births throughout the country have decreas ed one-half and deaths have increas ed 50 per cent. ,\o Food For Hospitals Almshouses, maternity hospitals and other charitable institutions can no longer feed their inmates. Nine teen per cent, of the infants under one year in Pilsen, the formerly nourishing city of breweries and arsenal workers, died last year from lack of nutrition. Prices of house hold commodities have risen 7UO to 81HI per cent., while wages have in creased 200 to 300 per cent. Clothing costs ten times more than formerly and sewing cotton is 100 times dearer than before the war. These reports show that Professor Thomas G. Masaryk, the first presi dent of the new Czecho-Slovak re public, who went from New York last winter to assume his duties, faces a herculean task. Writing to Lady Muriel Paget on February 10, the president's daughter told her, "father said he hoped you would come. Do come and help us." Lady Paget has obtained from the French government ten trucks which the American lied Cross lias filled with medical supplies for the Czecho slovaks, and plans to take to Bo hernia 20 tona of rice. Recent infos ■nation, however, states that frelglr traffle to Bohemia is disorganized anl[ the fear i expressed that the Aus trian threat, "if we are to lose Bo hemia, we shall lose her as a corpse," may become a terrible reality. Professor Masarylc was in thi United States in October last when hi was elected president of the new re public of Czecho-Slovakia. On re< reiving the notice of his election hi went to Prague and was inaugurate! president late in December. In tni lutter purt of March it was reportet that he had resigned, but this wai . officially denied by tho Czecho-Slovat Mission in Washington.
