U corrlspondento romano del Petit

"Non nppena sara' deflnltlvamente

Un dlspacclo da Ateiic dice cho' I consoli

tissimo contlngcnte dl truppe Itnllano

Un dlspacclo da New York dice che II

L'attcgglnmento della Rumanlaj non e
ancora ben detcrmlnato, ma evldente

cho puo' nddossarsl la responsablllta dl

Si ritleno cho non e' affatto imposslblle
cho gll Statl balcanlcl vengona ftnalmente
ad un nccordo e che la Bulgaria prenda
le arml contro la Turchla, Ma essa vuole
la Macedonia, e dal niomento che la Ser

FROWN
ON VOTING BY MAIL
See Opportunity for Swelling
the Poll by Ballots of Dead
Men and "Phantoms."
There Is nt least one way by which
Philadelphia can get out an enormous
voto nt any municipal election. This Is
holding an election by mall. Impossible,
many will say, btit Colllngswood. N.. J.,
proved the contrary last week, when tho
voters of that municipality decided by
mail whether or not tho borough should
purchase a water plant at tho price of
J50,0C0.
But Philadelphia Is not likely to fol
low tho examplo of Colllngswood, nt lenst
na long ns tho Independents hero have a
singe volco left to protest. Prominent
Independents when asked today to ex
press their opinion of an election by mall
did so In no uncertain terms.
Thousands of dead men, phantom men
tnd nil other kinds who formerly swelled
tho election returns would bo enfran
chised, they declared. E. L. D. Roach,
secretary of tho Public Service Commit
tee of One Hundred, riddled the sugges
tion inrougn ana through. One deilred
result, he said, would bo that Philadel
phia would bo able to havo a voto in
good proportion to tho number of duly
qualified voters.
At the last election thcro wero approxi
mately 10(5,000 stay-at-home voters. But
an election by mall, Mr. Roach believes,
ivould bring out enough men nnd phnn
tom men to compensato for tho stay-at-homes,
numerically at least. In every
other respect, particularly honest sup
port of honest measured, Mr. Roach can
see no compensation In tho mall election
Idea.
At tho. present time an election by mad
Is Imposslblo under tho Pennsylvania
election laws. At tho last setfllon of the
Legislature, when tho election laws wero
amended, Senator McNIchol offered as a
suggestion a plan which, in effect, would
be a mall election. Tho Idea whfen i.o
offered was thnt the ballotx should be
distributed rrom house to house somo
time before election and thnt on elec
tion day the voters could leave them at
tho polls. The suggestion was bitterly
opposed by independents nnd no blU (o
Incorporate thn idea was ever offered.

an they'ro trying It on us."
Jess; "I don't know 'bout dog days,
but It's sure a dog's night. But It's really
cool hero. I don't know how they do It
but they rout lient nnd humidity from

Tess: "Hero's another frankfurter turn,

Jess: "What you might cull a hot dog

Tess: "I'm havln' too good a time to

with us! 'Moran and Welscr, comedy
hat throwers.' I thought that guv
wiir goln' to make a hit, with poor little

Tcsii (gasping with admiration nt Au
gusta Close's entrnnco gown): "Ain't It
too sweet for nn tiling? I thought she
had retired. Sho don't look a minute
older than when I opened tho bill on the
Orphoum circuit one year she was head

Jess: "O, Cusslo Close Is some nrtlstc.

Joss: "Oh, Isn't sho sweet and clever.
'Marian Day,' who over that mav be. Be
