They may sign up between tho hours of 7 and 10 a. m. nnd and 10 p. m. today and also on October 5. Failure to register means temporary loss of fran chise In November, when tho State will choose a new Governor. It is hard to realize why any one neglects the simple and vital duty of seeming his Voting privilege, and yet there is annual evidence of neglect and usually by thee elements of the public fond of proclaiming themselves as averse to gang rule. And when November comes around sincere but careless lovers of good government ate often surprised and pained to learn that they have no standing as voters. Pcrhups the very lightness of their preliminary duties caused the oversight. The first of this autumn's political regis tration days came so shortly before the day when thirteen million Americans pledged themselves for Government service as to be a trifle confusing. There is no good 'reason for misconception now. Tho coun try has enrolled its army material. It Is now up to Philadelphlans to prove them selves as good citizens as they are patriots by registering for tho right to choose their servants. Those who cannot attend their division polling places today will have a positively last opportunity on October 5. Those striking anthracite miners would better watch out or the President will get them. WOMEN STREET CLEANERS "TpWENTY-FIVE women agreed on Satur- day to work for a street-cleaning con tractor in West Philadelphia, but only eight reported for work yesterday morning. But if the streets are to be cleaned It Is likely to be necessary to get women to do part "of tho work. Just as It will be neces sary to get women to take up other Jobs left by drafted men. Women are doing men's work In England and In France and they are doing it well. There are women who have the strength and endurance to use a broom In the streets. Many of them are stronger than the men one is accus tomed to see at the work. When those women who did not report for work yes terday discover that the others were more courageous and more patriotic some of them are likely to apply again for a broom and take their place in the home army that is backing up the men with rifles in France. Now, perhaps, Judge Bonnlwell will is uea peace appeal to the Democratic State Committee. PEACE BY MECHANISM IS DELUSIVE A VISION of the airplane improved to " such deadly degree of effectiveness that the world armed with such an instrument will 'abstain from future wars is conjured up by Major John L. Balrd, Parliamentary Secretary of the British Air Board. "Avia tion," he believes, "will make all other wars Impossible, because carried to a logi cal conclusion the air forces can be de veloped to such an extent that the idea of war in the air would be so appalling that the human race would not stand for it." The courso of history runs counter to euch a picture. War has a trick or thriving on increasingly formidable weap ons, The terrors of Greek Are were met and surpassed by gunpowder, and Constan tinople, for example, was won by the su periority of Mohammed's cannon over tho once-feared Byzantine explosive. The restless ingenuity of man makes a ??, mechanically made peace one of questlon !i able durability. Spiritual strength Is the fr&vtrue foe of war. That la why America kr, and tha Allies, nowerful In arms, hut ntlll . - , , stronger in ideals, know that they will ;f crush the monster.

"O' -J. VAjS -J',. ' i. in vi Ji THE VIENNA PEACE OFFER High Angle Propaganda Written Not for Governments Hut for the Peoples Behind Them TJUMAN psychology is n field of re search in which German specialists htive always pioneered. Spectacled per verts in the German universities wrought from this science the most effective weapons of the war. "Men," they said, "do not flght with their hands alone. That belief is ancient and outworn. Na tional encrpics are rooted in the emo tions, the fears, the prejudices, the wills nnd the spirits of groups and indi viduals. Strike at these source!" And so, though Germany brought an extraordinary array of new weapons into the war poison, disease germs, deadly gas, flame throwers, Zeppelins nnd submarines her only major victories were won by subtler means. When Italy became a menace she was deluged from end to end with lies as adroit as labora tory minds could devise to strike disas trously at the emotions of the Italians. Italy for a time was defeated and ren dered almost helpless. German special ists in corruption sought out the vulner able places in the Russian character the credulity and the idealism and the ignorance of the people and by false hood and intrigue systematically gave Russia over to destruction. Now this method of attach if tried openly upon the western Allies hi the so called peace proposal of the Austrian Emperor, The pronouncement issued to the world through Vienna is an extraordinary stroke. It is far more adventurous, far more daring than anything which the Allied councils had reason to expect. It is a move that can have no merely nega tive result. The appeal from Vienna will leave the German Empire far more powerful than it was or incomparably weaker, according to the manner in which it is received by the peoples of France, England, Italy and the United States. The President has rejected the offer for its obvious spuriousness. But this will not trouble the German diplo matists very much. Emperor William did not speak to the Allied governments. The appeal issued through the dupe at Vienna aimed, in this instance, over the heads of the gov ernments. Germany can have had little hope of anything so fantastic as a secret peace conference. The suggestion is di rectly opposed to the method of pro cedure outlined by President Wilson on behalf of the United States and the Allies. The German appeal is directed with infinite skill at what is presumed to be the weak point in the Allied psy chology. It is written for groups in England and in France and in Italy, for those who have every reason to be war weary, who have endured to the point of exhaustion and heartbreak and disillu sionment or suffered intimately and for long years such pain as we in this coun try cannot yet understand. And in the background, as an attendant force of which Germany is well aware, arc the pseudo-intellectual groups which have consistently tried to use the sorrow and hardships of those about them as a po litical force. To these elements, rather than to governments, Emperor Charles has sent his cry for peace. The actual organization of a confer ence such as is proposed, even an obvious tendency on the part of any of the Allied governments to take the suggestion se riously, would represent a triumph for Germany greater than any yet achieved on the battlefields and a victory for Ger man corruptionists greater than the masterwork which they left behind them in Russia. Indeed, the men who pre pared the note for the Austrian Em peror can already feel a sense of triumph. Some myopic newspapers, as well as impressionable idealists without number in this country, fell at the first word and began to talk of "the power of reason." But Germany is not con sidering reason. Germany hopes less than anybody for a "secret conference." What Germany wants to do is to create an atmosphere the sort of atmosphere referred to in the proclamation itself and no more. The intention of the appeal is to pervade the Allied nations with the enervating consciousness of a peace con ference in preparation or in prospect. That in itself would be equivalent to an ovcnuhelming triumph of the German armies in France. Such a prospect would, of course, ap peal powerfully to the emotions and the imagination of all the peoples opposed to Germany. A force greater than deliber ate will, greater than human intelligence itself, would begin at once to undermine the strength and lessen the determina tion and the resisting power of the na tions. This would be the subconscious sense of an approaching peace. It would be founded on the conviction that a peace talk, once formally begun, must inevitably result in a truce of some sort. The ner vous tension and the spiritual strength of the nations would relax. And there could be no re-establishment of the old staying power, Germany, with the guns at her doors, would be saved to emerge still contemptuous of the democratic theory, still unreformed, as the dominant influence in Russia and Asia, with 600, 000,000 souls available as material for future armies. The Emperor of Austria is out of key when he laments the possible devastation of Europe. If there is to be further devastation it will be in Germany. The Emperor of Germany has seen enough to qualce at this prospect. But it isn't a prospect that can be avoided. Civilization does not hold secret con ference with thugs and murderers. It hunts them down aa a measure of self- defense. And the Allied armies will, if I .. ..at.. . J Meamry, lwtMMftMr way;txvtb.o, throaa of Germany and lny waste whatever is in the way of their vengeance, and give to tho dust n system of militarism that has disgraced nnd imperiled the modern world. Any turning aside now, any momen tary inclination to temporize, would be the first rift in the splendid structure of our purpose. It would bo unworthy of the countless valiant men who fought and died only to make the principle o free government safe. They were tho English who first felt poison gas, the French who went on gallantly against crowding horrors, the millions of Rus sians who, weaponless, threw themselves at the German guns nftcr they had been betrayed to extermination .'. i engec without honor or conscience - n rn of right. Were the peace o(T" .-, of m't many now to be considered hi'oxija-.uid say of these millions that 'iry were duped and betrayed, not by Get-ny this time, but by the peoples for whom they gave their lives. All our pretensions and principles would bo proved false. And the long war for free government would be known to future generations as tho crudest and most appalling farce ever enacted upon the face of the earth. Judge Tionnlwell Is tho one candidate who tloos not seem to want to get In out of tfio wet. AID FROM PORTUGAL rpitlO Portuguese Government's generous 1 espouse to General Pershing's request for workmen 1ipp'Iv calls attention to the nile of sensitive lim played by a gallant and too often an uncor-"'iered ally. "Sem per Udells" might ell be the motto of the westernmost republic of Euiope. Only be cause she wis "ever faithful" did Portugal enter the battle for civilization. A cen turies old tieaty with Britain bound her to take up aims. It was regarded not as a scrap of paper, but as a sacred obliga tion, to which practical form was given by the dispatch of 12.1,000 troops to the b-ntlefronts. They have fought with fer vor in borne grueling struggles In Flanders. And now tho American army Is a bene ficiary of Portuguese zeal for tho right. Thousands of workmen for our forces In Franco aro being voluntarily recruited In Lisbon and Oporto. Many fighting men of Portuguese birth or descent are, more over, today wealing the American uniform. Many of them come from Hawaii, to which they emigrated some years ago nnd where they hae been largely responsible for tho unique Musical development of that Island territory. Others hall from New Eng land, where they have kept alive whaling and deep-sea fishing traditions. A civilization Intent on the rights of small nations cannot consistently afford to overlook the noble record of Portugal. "His speech Is like a The Hard on the tangled chain: noth- renre.

It was at Verdun that the Crown Prince of Germany first demonstrated his utter rottenness as a military commander One may assume, mayn't one, that the Kaiser's favorite song Is that in which he Is permitted to declare that he didn't raise his boy to be a soldier. Why should the world have any faith in Wilhelm as a peacemaker? The real peace drive Is making by Entente Allies on the western front. the Pershing's wedge of American soldiers la likely to do more splitting than the Austrian peace drive. The Democratic State Committee has given to Judge Bonnlwejl his credentials as a lone fisherman angling for votes. r "We can have only a peace with Just Ice," says Cardinal Gibbons. And the Ger mans do not know what Justice Is. This is Pershing week in Philadelphia, coming opportunely on the heels of the days when he proved that he was strong.

Eilshcmius, of A'cio l'orfc, to the title of Supreme Spirit of the Spheres, today presents his side of the case. 1l"c 7tnt-c opened our column to these two gentlemen .in that the matter may br fully and frankly decided. Surely nothing can be more important than tho equitable settlement of this dispute. We Icotp the decision to our readers, who will scrutinize the productions of the two poets. Later on we shall hold a referendum on the matter. Mr. Dulcet Has the Floor Dear Socrates. I have Just read What Louis M. Eilshcmius Bald, And to compete I have no fears As Supremo Spirit of tho Spheres. Ellshemlus's output may bo great No less, I do not hesitate, For poets (though Great Louts aulk) Must rate by music, not by bulk. My verse, ns every reader knows. Contains no mixture of glucose, No artificial sweetening matter, No epithets to make it fatter. My poems cause no burning ears, No mawkish droppings of warm tears, And bo they rhymed or be they free They aren't nfraid of L. M. E. My poems nto brunette and blonde, Aro pensive, whimsical und fond; But orderly and most polite. They never stay out late at night. And though they're geared both hlsh and low, They are domestic, keenly so; Young kitchen maids, on evenings off, Have Mayed rt homo to read my stuff. When Louis says his rhymes are built on The same lines as Walt or Milton, Don't you think he feels his oats? Headers, let mo havo your votes! Louis claims he is unique, And ho gloats that twice a week With some tuneful tosh did he land In a paper in New Zealand. Look at me, friend of Apollo! I can knock Ellshemlus hollow! Since first from Helicon I sipped, Never been rejection bllpped. Louis's claim? Come now, repulse ltl Grant jour sufferings to Dulcet Dulcet, first among tho peers, Supremo Spirit of tho Spheies! DOVE DULCET. Wc await fuithcr communication from Jlr. Eilshcmius. Mr. Dulcet's Art Mr. Dulcet adds certain consideration as to his art which (he says), he found it difficult to weave into the poem above. He says: I always part my poems in the middle. I find It easiest to write my poems Just after two hearty meals my own and my wife's. I expect the question of my immortality to be decided within the next ten years. I expect to be remembered for my poems, but forgiven for my prose. Tho best poem I ever wrote Is called "They Shall Not Passaic." My aim In life Is to make the world safe for minor poets. Never pass judgment on a poem imme diately after reading It. Wait and see how it digests. If necessary, wait until you can consult tho cashier at the poet's bank.- If a poet has a bank balance of more than $50, he Is no longer a poet. He is a bard. DOVE DULCET. Sonnet to a Key Ring Scorn not the key ring, husband! You've been found Mindful of lesser matters. With a key Safe on a key ring one can cheerfully Carouse till midnight fearless, I'll be bound. But without key rings you will hunt around Your anxious person, cursing quietly, "Gone? Damn it, what? I've lost it? Woo is me." And things like that, you good-for-nothing hound. But with a little key ring In your pants (Trousers, I mean), you'll never have to care What hour that hees you home. You need not swear And wake the fretful good wife up, by chance. Slip in, slide up, and restfully renew The early morning hours alas, too few! T. MOItUIS LONGSTRETH. Among the works of art the Kaiser is anxious to acquire is the Venus de Muehlon.

They come to their objective at the point of the bayonet, only to find the beaten Hun, with uplifted hands crying "Kamerad." But with a gun or a knife concealed, ready to violate his plea of surrender. This is the true Hun spirit, the spirit back of the Kaiser and his court. With the power of the offensive passing from him, he Is now merely waiting for another chance to lift his hands with the cry of "Kamerad" or "Peace." Peace with part of the loot still In his possession! Peace with only a thought of German gain or German victory through craft or deceit! Peace with the hidden knife ready for Its sudden and treacherous thrust ! Peace! In the A. E. F. there will be no thought of peace, no whisper of peace, no dream of peace until the Hun Is beaten to the dust. Let the weak-hearted, who arey dreaming of a compromise Let the pacifists, who are talking of "peace by agreement" Let the slde-llners, who have "had enough of war" Let the secretly Inclined pro-Germans,,who think "this great tragedy should end with out a decision" Let them one and all know once and for all that for the A.

T I' .r 1 jrV . --, , "CHUST YOU War Enlarges the TJERICARP sat at his desk with a pair -- of compasses making circles on a largo sheet of paper when I entered his room, He is one of those interesting and precise, persons who puts his arguments in a dia gram resembling the business organization charts prepared by efficiency experts. In deed, ho might be called one of the origi nal Intellectual efficiency advocates. He writes his main proposition in a little box at the top of a sheet of paper. Then tho propositions that modify It are written out in more little boxes connected with the first by lines and the modifications of the modi fiers are similarly connected with the prop ositions to which they belong. When his diagram is completed the fool, though a wayfaring man, can see what he Is driving at. BUT, as I started to say, Pericarp sat at his desk with a pair of compasses drawing circles on' a large sheet of paper. I suppose my expression, as I looked at him, was Interrogatory, for without wait ing for any questions from me he began with one of his own: "Did you ever study the zone system of humor? No? I thought not. Few persons have. It is a discovery of my own and I am proud of it. Like all other great dis coveries I came upon it by accident. I live In Philadelphia, but I have friends who 're side in Boston,' as they put it. They visit me occasionally and I return the compli ment. The last time I was in Boston one of my best friends, whose Jokes I had en Joyed when he told them In Philadelphia, took me to a dinner party to which he had been invited as a guest. And, would you believe it, the lady at my left a most charming lady, too began one of my friend's best stories with the soup. She told another of them with the fish, and when the roast came on It was accompan ied by a third, and so on through tho salad, the dessert and the coffee. 44 "PVID I lose respect for my mends '-' Jokes? By no means. I am more broad-minded than that, for I know that the stock of humor is limited, and in its use tho rule of the communists prevails. It had suddenly dawned upon me that I had entered my friend's humor zone. The conception of zones of humor was so novel that I forthwith explained it to the lady with results much more satisfactory than I could have anticipated. Her eyes twinkled as she said that several of the jokes that I had cracked had been heard recently on the lips of my friend. 'I smiled at them as you smiled at mine,' she explained, 'but now I understand it. He brought them from Philadelphia. So I see the humor zones overlap.' 44QOME day when I have time I am J planning to write a book on the subject to explain Its social significance. You know that when you get in a com pany of clergymen the humor climate varies radically from that of a group of physicians. You might call it tropical, for a large proportion of their stories deal with conditions in the hottest region dis covered in history or Action. Bob Inger soU'b remark that he preferred heaven' for its climate and hell for its society will get more laughter from a group of clergy men than from men of any other profes sion. And the clerical humor zono is sub divided by sectarian zones. I am a Protes tant and cannot laugh at all the Jokes of those who adhere to the mother church. For example, I have heard Catholics laugh to spilt their buttons at the story of, the Irishman who went into a restaurant- on Friday and fter calling' for .whale and alwrk finally xtorUim? '" 'By V ' i-KL' , STOP UNDT SCHMELL w iW.JIjr I '-ifT5S Humor Zones beef and cabbago with tho remark 'God knows I asked for fish!' You see I had entered the Catlvollc humor zone and the climate was so different that I could not appreciate It. U A ND there is a medical zone and a xjL theatrical zone, each with a charac-' teristic atmosphere which permeates its humor. Hut all these zones overlap, tend ing slowly to diffuse the different climates and make of them one uniform tempera ture included within what tho meteorolo gists call isothermal lines. AVe may approximate a humorous Isotherm, but we can never reach It, thank goodness! Variety is the one thing which puts the paprika in life. And I am strong for paprika." K ERICARP took the sheet of paper from made a diagram Indicating the overlapping of several zones with short radii the Bos ton zono and tho Philadelphia zone touch at little more than one point. The New York zone reaches with its nearest curve almost to our center. The medical and the clerical zones might almost be drawn from the same center, because, I suppose, the clergymen and the doctors both deal with tho Issues of life and death. And much to my surprise I have discovered that the clerical zone and the theatrical zono overlap so far as to reveal an aston ishing likeness in the mental temper ofx the men who stand up in the pulpit and the men who tread the stage. 44'W'ET the most Interesting development of this zone theory has come since our soldiers began to go to Europe. You know there Is a broad American hurnor zone, which includes all the little subdi visions, and a zone of British humor and another one of French humor. Well, the war Is extending the radii of these national zones until the circles which they describe are overlapping more and more. I did not realize this till my friend Fuldo came back from Franco with a bunch of what he called fresh stories. They were American stories familiar to those who live In the zones In which they originated. Fuldo hap pened to live in a different zone and they were new to him. But the point I want to make is that these American Jokes are now getting acclimated In France and in England, and that the soldiers over there will bring back to us Jokes familiar for generations to the English and the French; and this interchange of that which pro vokes to mirth will strengthen the Inter national bonds, make the formation of a League of Nations easier and conduce to the civilization of the world. Thus we may In time be able to say that one touch of humor makes the whole world grin." With that, Pericarp turned to his desk, took up his compasses and began to draw larger circles, and I picked up my hat and withdrew as quietly as possible, that I might not disturb a great mind in the throes of parturition.
