New York, Nov. 7.—The women citizens of New York state were giv- en unlimited suffrage in yesterday's election by a majority expected .to reach 100,000. ‘With 1,348 out of 5,772, election districts, missing, the vote stood 533,519 for the amendment, and 446,791 against.’ In Greater., New York, which = reversed its stand of 1915,; the suffrage leaders predicted that the missing 272-election districts would - greatly: increase the already jusge Musuriy. “ue complete vote tor the city: was 334,011 for: suffrage, as against 241,315.,opposed. ‘, In her enth#¥iasm “Dr.-Anna How ard Shaw, a suffrage worker for forty years, came to the city, headquarters to cheer the women. who had ‘spent hours watching the polls. ‘ She said she: could scarcely wait, for morning to have a huge: diamond added to thir- teen others set in the ‘Susan B. ‘An: thony pin she woreat her throat to v represent New.

Nearly two million women will be enfranchised by the electorate of New York state. The big suffrage vote was polled in New York City, where the size of the suffrage vote was a surprise to most of the political leaders and ev- en to some of the suffrage workers. * The outstanding feature of the elec- tions in the United States yesterday was the apparently assured victory for woman suffrage in New York state by a majority of approximately 40,000. While the suffragists were winning in the east, early returns from Ohio indicated defeat for the in that state. ‘ Two states, Ohio and New Mexico, voted on prohibition Incomplete returns. from Ohio showed that the contest in that state was very close, with the drys leading by a small margin. The prohibition- ists evidently had.carried New Mex- ico. The entire republican, state ticket, headed by Governor Samuel W. Mc- Call, won an overwhelming victory in Massachusetts, while the democra- tic state ticket, headed by Westmore- land Davis for governor, was success- ful in Virginia. iS; Interest in the municipal elections centered upon New York, where John E. Hylan, democrat defeated Mayor John P. Mitchel, candidate for re- election, by a plurality of more than 140,000. The entire Tammany city ticket also was elected. The social- ists yote showed a gain of more than 400 per cent over that cast in the raunicipal campaign four years ago. The bipartisan judicial ticket in Chi- cago defeated by a plurality estimated at 80,000, the socialist candidates standing on an anti-war platform. The attempt of Senator Penrose, ‘backing the so-called: town meeting candidates, to oust the Vare brothers from control in Philadelphia upon the face of returns up to midnight appears to have been unsuccessful, but at that hour both sides were claiming vic tory. Wm. A. Magee, former mayor of Pittsburgh, seemingly was defeated by E. V. Babcock, a wealthy business men. ‘oth are republicans. Harry L. Davis, republican, was re elected mayor of Cleveland.

The hunger strike now is 43 hours old. Headquarters of the women’s party declared today white house picketing by silent sentinels would not be sus- pended, and that pickets were now coming in from many states to resume the offensive on Nov. 10. Alice Paul, national chairman of the woman's party, now doing a seven- months’ sentence in jail here for pick- eting the White House, is the striker, and tonight she had been in the jail aospital without food for the preced- ing 24 hours, stolidly threatening to starve herself to death unless her six compatriots, serving time for the same offense, get better food Waiting for Hunger. Jail officials are taking the strike calmly and waiting for Miss Paul to get hungry enough to eat. Forcible feeding has not been discussed as yet. But inasmuch as Miss Paul made somewhat of a record for herself as a hunger striker in an English jail sev- eral years ago while militating with Mrs. Pankhurst, headquarters of the woman’s party is quite confident that she will give the prison officials a bad air and no exercise.

The river Piave appears to be the next line of the Italians, but there aro indications that the northern reaches of this river have been aband- oned. General Cadorna probably is retiring upon the Sugana Valley, which lies east of Trent, and from the lower Piave, connecting the two natur- al positions by a line trom the Brenta which flows through the Sugana val- iad to the Piave at a point south of Feltre. Venice Threatened. It 1s improbable that the Italian commander would retreat to the line of the Brenta along its entire length as this would leave Venice in the hands of the invaders. : Basing his new positions on the Upper Brenta and the. Lower Piave, General Ca- dorna woul! have a line about 100 miles shorter than that of the Taglia- mento. Roulers Dominated.

In a great arc more than 160 miles in length the Italian armies are falling back upon and through the plains of Venetia to a new and shorter line of defense. From the Fella valley to the head of the Adriatic sea the entire line of the Tagliamento river has been given up by General Cadorna, while from virtually the border of Trentino north- eastward and eastward through the Dolomites and the Carnic Alps to the Fella the northern army is carrying out a retrograde movement southward through the mountainous country to- ward the plains. The Germans and Austro-Hungarians everywhere are fol- lowing up the Italians in their re- treat, but with the Italians offering re- sistance in rear guard actions along the entire front. British Win Big Victory. Meanwhile, the British forces in Bel- gium have won another notable vic- tory over the Germans in the region of Ypres, having captured in one of | their intrepid dashes, after a rain of shells of all calibers, the town of Pas- schendaele, about five miles west of Roulers, for which much bitter fight- ing has taken place recently. The new advance of the Pritish throws the {apex of their salient in dangerous proximity to Roulers, the fall of which would cut Germany's communication from her cubmarine bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge to the south. The in- dications from the meager advices thus far to hand are that the Cana- | dians, who bore the brunt of the oper- ation, extended their line 800 yards be- tyond Passchendaele. Numerous Ger- ‘inan prisoners were taken. Pressure Too Great. The decision of the Italians to evac- uate the Tagliamento line was taken !after the enemy had intensified its pressure along the upper reaches of | the river in the high lands and pushed forces across the stream in the cen- ter and to the south. This movement compelled a simultaneous withdrawal along the northern front from the Fel- la valley to Colbricon. | | Apparently the main Austro-German forces are not in close contact with the retreating Tagliamento army, for | the German official statement says the | retreat is indicated by confiagrations over the route of retirement.
