George G. Pierie said the women would

Tlie Republican Alliance nnd the Re
publican city committee expect to reach
a faiily accurate total of the registra
tion figures by tills afternoon. It will be
based on reports from division workers.
Assessment figures for the forty
eight wards will not be ready until nil
the nsaessnient books have been received
conditions. Courtesy was the order of
the day. The brethren often gave up
their plnees In line to the women. CI
gais, cigarettes and pipes were cheer
fully rib-carded and nobody went too
near or gloated over the victims when
the moment of supreme agony, that of
stating that terrible "exact age," ar
rived. Men registered In greater numbers
than women. This Is uupnrent from

In spite of woman's enthusiasm over
her enfranchisement, she was rather
timid when it came time to march to
the noils for tho first time nnd clve n
demonstration.
i Women presented fower problems for
,, registrars than were anticipated.
Complexities that did nrise were mostly
I of ,, humorous nature and not in the
i icnHt serious. For instance,
One young woman, Miss Dorothy
Dixter. of C338 Sherwood road. Over-
brook, asked the registrar nt 1001 North
Sixty third street If she could lote In
November as she wns registering as u
Miss, but that she would be a Mrs. be
fore then and her name would not bo
me same, tho registrar uns reierrea tne
question to tho board of registration
commissioners.
Facetious registrars warned women
voters they had better not resort to
lsibhlng their hair or tinting it with
henna between now and election day
or they might have difficulties, since
their descriptions would not then agree
with those taken yesterday.
MEN OUTNUMBERED

MOSCOW CLAIMS ADVANCE
By tlio Associated Press
London, Sept. ?. Arthur .T. BnUour,
lord presldpnt of the council, tester-
dav rpnlled to thp HUnntrli of W. Tchlt
cherln, Russian foreign minister, sent
Mr. lialfflnr exnreniipa nrntlficatlon
that tlm Rovlpt Onvprnmpnt rpnounces
Its demands for n workers' mllltln. but
declares that M, Tohlteherln Is mistaken
in supposing that the British Govern
ment recoanlrrll that n reduction of th
I'ollsh army to 150,000 men would bo
Just peace terms. What the Hrtusii
Oovernment said. Mr. Ualfour declares,
was that Orent Britain would not con
sider It sufficient ground for active In
tervention. Mr. Balfour characterize Tchltcher-
In's representations concerning the civil
militia ns being a concession to Toland
as "evidently meant as a Jest, and so
fsr neitner rcnuireB nor deserves a
reply."
Wnnts Joke K.xplaliwl
Ho considers, however, that It Is a
jest requiring pxplanatlnn from tho So
viet Oovernment, and points out that
both the British Parliament nnd peopls
wero deceived by the Soviet withholding
the tact ttint tne milltta was to tie innrn
from a particular class chosen by 11 vic
torious enemv. The British Govern
ment 'a objection was not based on tho
voice of workmen. Ita objections
would be equally strong If the mllltln
wete composed of millionaires.
In either case It would be armed forco
Imposed on tho Poles at the bidding of a
foreign power ana tncreioro lnconsisxent
with national Independence and the per
manent maintenance of civil order.
Easy to Impoverish Rich Men
Balfour says ho does not doubt
Tchltcherin's statement that there nre
Inequalities of wealth in Great Britain
which no longer exist In Russia, but the
inferences Tchltcherln draws from this
are quite irrelevant to the present pur-
pose.
Mr. nalfour concludes by saying that
he never for a moment questioned the
efficacy of Soviet methods for making
rich men poor, but that it is in the more
important task of making poor men
richer that failure is to bo feared.
Mr. Balfour's reply Is In answer
to Tchltcherin's statement called
forth by the Italo-Brltlsh ultimatum
respecting chnnges in tho peace terms
offered to Poland by the Soviet gov
ernment. Bolshevik Advance Reported
Bolshevik forces have occupied a
number of villages from fourteen to

liabilities ns a result of his spectacular
financial dealings through his Secur
ities Exchango Co. stand nt 50,048,207,
according to Edwin L. Pride, account
ant employed by tho federal authorities
to audit I'onzi'u accounts. Mr. Pride
submitted his report to District Attor
ney Daniel J. Gallagher lost night.
That this may not bo tho final fig'
uro, however, Is indicated by Mr.
Pride's statement that because of
Ponzi'n loose methods of accounting "it
does not seem probable that the exact
stnto of tho liabilities con bo deter
mined on tho data at my disposal." The
report tells of bis examination of
stubs of notes issued by Ponzi and of
notes canceled, redcomed or paid and
continues ;
"From this information, which com
prises nearly -10,000 noteholders,, I was
enabled to compile figures which pur
ported to show for 0,077,448 cash re
ceived there had been issued notes ag
gregating $14,872,827. Giving him
credit for all the notes turned over to
me, amounting to $7,024,050, would
leave his liability on notes to Investors
outstanding 0,043,207."
The report says no cash book was
kept to show receipts and expenditures
nnd that thcr,e Is not sufficient informa
tion on the stubs of check books to show
for the disbursements that were made,
thousands of dollars having been paid
out with only the memorandum "pny-1
ment due this day."
"I have no assurance," tho report
says, "that all the material necessary
for a complete audit hus been turned
over to me. In my opinion promissory
notes were given to Mr. Ponzi for which
he received no ca9h. Notes wero issued
for double the amount of money pur
porting to have been received by Ponzi."
The nuditor says It Is extremely diffi
cult to determlup the exact amounts of
original Investments, because many
noteholders "pyramided," letting their
money with tho accumulated interest
remnln with Ponzi Instend of taking up
their notes nt maturity and many others
took up their notes but reinvested tho
interest received.
