Built Homes Were Told Not to Register S.- TRICKERY IS DENIED If you live In one of the govcrnment bullt houses south of Oregon avenue And if you are planning to east your ballot next primary day for "Hampy" flfoorc ' And if a fat gentleman wearing loud clothes, a diamond and a smile steps up. to you and Bays: "Hist J ou can't vote ilon'C-dare ro vote you'll get pinched if you vote, because you live on n government res ervation."' Well, If this happens to you politely but firmly tell that fat gentleman to go to to go to "Bill" Fipiey and put the proposition up to him. For "Bill" Finley, secretary of the Varc-controlled Republican city com mittee, says it isn't so; that the people who live iu the government houses are on cno same rooting with people every where; thnt the Vare organization, in stead of intimating to them that they may not vote, is doing its level best to get them out to register. And to back his assertion "-Bill" Fjnley prodnces a letter sent to the voters south of Ore gon nvenue, where the government res ervation begins. Accuse Vare Workers In spile of "Bill" Finley's denial, however, the story comes from Moore workers in the district south o'f Oregon avenue that this sort of Insidious prop aganda is being carried on. JNIen have been circulating through this neighbor hood, tho Moore workers claim,, button holing voters nnd telling them thnt the houses which the government built are in n "government reservation" nnd the people in them on the same footing with those who live In the District of Colum bia nnd who. ns every one knows, arc not permitted to take part In elections. John M. Smollock, of 2404 South Tenth street, who is a city committee man of the Republican Alliance for the Thirty-ninth ward, makes thp charge. ne says that agents, "presumably of the Vnres, have been going through the ter ritory for the last two weeks and were especially active on registration day, telling the voters that they could neither reeFster nor cast their billots. Joseph Tunney. chairman of the legal committee for Congressman Moore, states emphatically that the voters in the houses south of Oregon avenue are entitled to register and vote. "So long ns they comply with tho law as to age and residence." said 5rr. Tun ncy,"they nre entitled to exercise their rights as citizens. District Part of City "Tho government built the houses, but docs not own the land. And even if the land belonged to the government It would make no difference in the status of tho people who live there. "The district south of Oregon avenue is part of the city of Philadelphia; it is administered by the city, and is governed by the city's ordinances, as well as patrolled by the city's police force." "Bill" Finley registered mild indig nation when the charges of Varo trick ery were brought to his notice.

U.S. RAIL PLAN IN FRANCE Atterbury Says We Taught Ally Bet ter Operation Methods American methods of train dispatch ing will, in all probability, be adopted by the French as n result of seeing the vjork of tho American army railroad ers, in the opinion of Brigadier Gen eral W. W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and dur ing the war director general ot trans portation of the American Expedition ary Forces. General Atterbury declared the French roads are more durable than American nnd are in better condition after long periods of use, due to the fact that tho Frenchman, being more painstaking and thorough than the American, builds his roads with more care. On the whole, however, he believes American transportation systems are safer than those of the French because of the superior dispatching and signal systems hero and the Increasing use of steel or underframe steel passenger cars.
