Washinoton, Aug. 18 The atti- tudes of the American and French Governments toward Poland and the Bolshevist Invaders of that country are In complete accord. Secretary of State Colby stated Mr. Colby's statement to this effect accom- panied the giving out for publication of the text of the French note In an- swer to the American note to Italy, in which this Government outlined its nttltude toward the Polish-Russia- n situation. The sweeping nature of Mr. Colby's statement as to the sameness of atti- tude of the two Governments camo as somewhat of a surprise, but the text of the note shows that France goes somewhat further In Its expressions of friendliness to the real Russian people than had been anticipated here, as it had been expected Paris would be but lukewarm In backing up this Government's declaration against dismemberment of Russia.

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT IS RA TIFIED; TENNESSEE MAKES THE 36TH STA TE; ALMOST 27 .000.000 WOMEN GET VOTE WOMEN DO NOT FEAR REYERSAL Will Work for More Batlficn-tion- s to Guard Against Adverse Decisions. CKEDIT GOES TO G. 0. P. Enabling Laws by Legisla- tures Not Needed tp Give Vote to Women Special tn The Bi n vii New Yobk Herald. Washinoton, Aug. 18. About women are now eligible to vote lii the Presidential and Congress elec- tions on November 2 as a result of ratification of the suffrage amendment y by Tennessee. This means a gain of about 8,000,000 In the total eli- gible to vote for President, but a gain of 20,000,000 voters for members of the House and Senate. Credit for ratification of the Nine- teenth Amendment belongs to the Re- publican party beyond any shadow of doubt. Of the thirty-si- x States that have ratified the amendment thus far, twenty-fou- r havo Republican Gov- ernors and twenty-si- x have Republi can Legislatures. Three of the ratify ing States have divided Legislatures and only seven have Legislatures dominated by Democrats. The Legislature ot North Carolina has postponed action until January, and probably will never act on the question now. This puts North Carolina in the class with Connecticut, Vermont and Florida, the only Stntes of the forty- - eight which have not acted on suffrage one way or the other. The States that rejected the resolution of ratification ure Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia, .Maryland, Delaware and Louisiana. Only one of these States Delaware has a Republican Governor and a Republican Legislature. Technically the suffrage amendment Is not In effect yet. However, Secretary Of tjtato Balnbrldge Colby Informed HUffiage workers when they communi cated with him, that he was ready to sign the proclamation ihe moment It reached him. Accordingly the National Woman's party has communicated witn Miss Suo White, its representative in Tennessee, to see that the certificate of ratification is forwarded to the State De partment the moment, the time for re- consideration has expired. Snrla Don't Fear Reversal. There is a possibility that ihe action of the Tennessee House to-d- may be reversed, but suffrage leaders here are not much afraid of It, they say. Re consideration of the close vote may re- sult In overturning vote and throw the question of suffrage back Into the fighting stage again. If the ratification of the amendment stands, as Is confidently expected every- where, there will remain the question of how it Is to go Into effect in several States. So far as the States generally are concerned, the Attorney General of the United States lias already Issued an opinion that no special legislation tc make the amendment operative Is neces sary, as It is similar, except In subject natter, to the Fifteenth amendment, and that amendment has been ruled to be and to render lnoperattve contrary provisions of State constitu- tions and statutes. Virginia, New Hampshire. Minnesota, Massachusetts and Mississippi have pn.ed enabling acts which will Include the operation of the amendment ratified Most of the other States re quire no legislation. The Attorney Generals of Maryland, New Mexico, South Carolina, Ohio and West Vir ginia have rendered special opinions that no legislation Is necessary. The Governor of Missouri has de clared that he will call a special session of the Legislature to pass legislation to make certain Missouri women can take full part In the elections this year, If It Is found necessary. The Attorney Gen eral of Georgia has announced that there will be an opportunity for women to register In October for the November elections. However, there remains some doubt as to the necessity for legislation In Ala bama. Connecticut, Delaware, New Jer sey. South Carolina and Vermont In these States It Is believed that special sessions of the Legislatures may have to be called before election day to pro- vide for the registration of newly made women voters. There Is no legislation machinery nor funds available to take care of this matter. Work Remaining- - for Women. The efforts of the members of the Woman's party, the \militant ' suffragists. It is expected, will be devoted now to bringing about these special ses- sions. In order that no State may be ex- cluded from having its women take part the Important elections this year. Also, the fight for further ratifications by States will not be abandoned until at least one more State Is added to the ratification column. This will be done to protect the amendment from the at- - ' tacks of its enemies In the courts so that an adverse decision touching one State would not Invalidate the The political effect of ratification of the suffrage amendment Is hard to de- - Continued on Beoond Page. for rrmisPMY classified ADVERTISEMENTS. 0,1)0 j&ttll AND NEW YORK HERALD SUNDAY, ISSUES P.M.

The mothers of America will stay the hand of war and repudiate those who tritle with a great princi- ple. The action of the Tennessee Legislature has another significance. It is an earnest of the Democratic policy to pay Its platform obligations.\ The Governor then posed for the 'movies\ on the steps of the State House with a group of suffragists led Ly Mrs. Abble Scott Baker, political chairman of the National Woman's party. Afterward In an interview Mrs. Raker refused to agree that Gov. Cox Ui entitled to all the credit for obtain- ing ratification of the amendment. \Individual men have helped splen- didly, and we thank them heartily,\ Mrs. Baker said. \But American worn-- e can take to their hets the happy assurance that women themselves won the enfranchisement of American women. \The party which shows the greatest t;l\ 111 In organizing the women's vote will gain the victory In November. Froper'.)- - handled, it should be divided on a basis of 70 and 10 per cent.\ Mrs. Baker declined to say which party she thought would swing the larger portion of the women's vote. It Is Mrs. Baker's belief that 10,000.000 women will vote for President In No- vember out of a possible 27,000,000. She felt that State requirements in the South and other reasons would cut down the women's vote. Asked If the women of America would give credit to Gov. Cox for the suffrage victory, Mrs. Baker said: \Women ought to feel grateful to all who helped, and Gov. Cox certainly helped.\ To another question as to which of the candidates, in her opinion, the women of America would give the areater credit, ahe answered: \Different women may have different opinions on that subject.\ Mrs. Baker and several other suf- frage leaders left for Marion soon af- terward for a conference with Senator Harding.

Sprrfol fo Tin Hin and Nsw Yok Hbsaia Nashvii.i.k, Tenn., Aug. 18. The lower house of the Tennessee I'isls-ltttur- e ratified the NtifTriiKe amend- ment to the Constitution of the Uulted States to-d- by a vote of 30 to 46, neeominj: the thirty-sixt- State needed to make the amendment effective and binding upon nil of the States of the Union. The amendment hud previously been passed by the Senate last Thursday by a vole of 25 to 4, and all that Is now npeded to complete the acceptance by the nation of the Nineteenth Amendment Is the formal certification by the State Department. It Is still possible, although it Is conceded even In the e camps that It Is not probnble, that the House may rescind the action tnken Speaker Walker, one of the bitterest of the foes of suffrage, changed his vote from no to aye at the last moment In order that he might move to reconsider the action of the House. Under the House rules he can pre- sent such a motion within the next two legislative days. But should no other action be tnken before Friday at adjournment the amendment will have become effective, and the antli will be powerless to prevent its cer- tification by Secretary of State Colby. Ratification of the amendment, with Its ending of the sixty-slx-ye- ar fight that has been waged by the women of tho United States for the vote, came at the conclusion of one of the stormi- est sessions the Tennessee Legislature has seen in recent years. Oremendous demonstrations were staged by the suffrage forces after they had recov- ered from the shock of their victory. Women's Grief Turns fo Jof. Many leaders of the suffrage camp had become bo discouraged over the outlook that they had virtually con ceded that Speaker Walker and the, other opponents of the umendmen' would be able to defeat the ratifica- tion. But two or three Legislators who had been classed as doubtful, and one or two who had even announced that they would oppose It, voted for the resolution when the crisis came. Ninety-si- x of the ninety-nin- e mem- bers of the House were present when the vote on the rsolution was taken, and until the resolution came up for adoption or defeat the alignment on the question was a tie, 48 to 48, that vote being polled on a motion by Speaker Walker to table the resolution. The lineup on the ballot for concur- rence In the Senate resolution was 48 to 47 until the Speaker changed his vote. On the face of the vote this gives the' suffragists an advantage of only two votes, but their leaders said that Representative Brooks and others who favor the amendment, but who were absent would ' return jy to- morrow morning. All of the suffragist members will be on hand during the remainder of tM session, as Speaker Walker can call up his motion to re- consider on a moment's notice, and it can be carried by a majority vote. In the event that the Speaker does not make his motion, or In the further event that it Is defeated, only Successful liti- gation can prevent American women irom voting In the November elections Steps for such litigation have already been taken by the Tenneosee Constitu- tional League, based on the contention that the ratification Is In violation of the State Constitution, Article II., Sec- tion 32, which says: A convention or General Assembly of the State shall not act upon any amendment to the Constitution of the United States proposed by Con- gress of the several States unless such convention or General Assembly shall have been submitted after such amendment is submitted. The present Legislature was els In November, 1018, before the Fed err. I amendment was submitted to It. How- ever, Solicitor-Gener- al Frier son of the Department of Justice has said that Atto- rney-General Thompson and a large array of noted Tennessee lawyers have given opinions that ratification Is now legal Jn accordance with the decision of the United States Supreme Court In the Ohio suffrage litigation.
