Early Hours
170,000 MARK IS GOOD
Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton, vice
if, tkalrmnn of the Republican Slate Com Cem
ti'j Ittce, received optimistic rererts of
if. the number of women registering. -In
aumereun divisions tliey exceeded the
, men, although thequen may balance
mere evenly thin evening when men
return from work.
It was reported that the Vure or-
Kanlzalten workers arc net supplying
poll-tax receipts this year te voters re-
Sulring such certificates. The poll tux
1 fifty cents. Division lenders were
quietly Informed that no money will
ceme from headquarters for poll-tax
purposes.
Registration of voters for November
lectien began this morning In every
polling place in Philadelphia and in
every ether city In Pennsylvania In
preparation for the general Stutc-wlde
election en November 7.
An Interesting feature of the Repub
lican registiatlen this jenr is thnt it
is being promoted mainly by the women
and by Gilferd Pinchot, Republican
nominee for Governer. Organization
leaders In Phllndrlphin announced,
however, that they were having their
workers get out the "regular" regis
tration because It would be geed for
the primaries next year when candi
dates for Mayer te sucecd Mayer Moere
will be nominated. Likewise in many
districts in the State, where there are
het contests for legislative nnd con
gressional seats, rival Democratic and
Republican leaders are working for a
big registration.
Plncliet Workers Are Busy
Se far as the Republican registra
tion Is concerned, it is conceded that
the bulk of the effort is being put forth
by the Pinchot workers. The coming
election will stape a context for the
gubernatorial chair between Pinchot
and .Tehn A. McSnarran. the Demo
cratic nominee. Pinchot confidently
expects te be overwhelmingly elected,
but he wants n big vote se that the Leg
islature will realize that the people
re back of the Governer.
Campaign buttons urging a vote In
November for the straight Republican
ticket were distributed in the ilty today.
At the top of the emblems is the
phrase, "Vete straight." Acress the
button is "Republican X," and nt the
bottom the words "Support the Presi
dent." The Importance of the drive for n
large registration is that nil previous
reElsrtntlens ere void. Te vote in the
coming election, every one must be j
newly registered, either today or en one
of the remaining two registration days,
September 10 and (teteber 7.
Consequently, men and women voters
began te drift te the polls as seen as
they opened this morning at 7 o'clock.
The polls were open until I P. M.. and
then closed te reopen tills afternoon
and evening between 4 and 10 o'clock.
Expect 170,000 te Register Today
These registered either today or en
the ether two days will be entitled te
ete for representatives in Congress,
thirty-six of whom are te be chesen:
the full membership of the State Heuse
of Representatives; hnlf of tiie mem
bership of the State Senate: two United
States Senators; u Governer; u Lieu
tenant Governer and a Secretary of
Internal Affairs.
Special efforts arc being made by the
Pinchot leaders, under the direct call
of the candidate for Governer, and by
the women leaders, te roll up a regis
tration which will surpass the Phila
delphia registration for the primaries.
The total qualified by registration te
take part in the last primaries, when
the race between Pinchot and Attorney
General Alter took place, was fi00,304.
Of that total. J.'K.IOQ were qualified
by reason of participation in the pre
ceding November election, while fiS.ltW
were added by new registration for the
primaries. Te keep up with that pace,
the registration for teila, the first day,
should be upward of 170,000.
Lenders among the women working
for a big registration are Mrs. Barclay
II. Warburton. vice chairman of the
Republican State Committee, nnd Mrs.
Geerge Herace Lerimcr. president of
the Republican Women of Pennsylvania.
Democratic women, animated by a de
sire te build up u militant democracy,
re also at work.
Rens Bureau of Information
Mrs. Lorimer's organization is dis
tributing thousands of effective leaflets
which tell all about the steps necessary
for registration nnd voting. Her or-
? ionization Is also running a bureau of
nformatlen at headquarters. 111!) Seuth
Seventeenth street, where telephone and
ether Inquiries arc being answered
hourly. The League of Women Voters
is calling en members of all parties te
register.
Frank M. Riter. chairman of the
Voters' League, has broadcast through
the city the tollewing notice :
"Voters League urges you te register
or you cannot vote for Pinchot. Pepper,
Reed and ether Republican candidates.
Yeu register at the polling place in the
division in which you live. When reg
istering, bring n real estate tax or a
personal property tax paid te the State
or county or a poll tax receipt with teu.
A poll tax can be purchased for fifty
cents at polling place en registration

Smyrna. Sept. 7. The situation in

The British are removing some of
their nationals in merchantmen, poet peet

corps.
The Greek losses since the opening of

killed nnd wounded.
Angera also reports the capture of
nn pnMrn ilrvvU nrmv rnrn nt llin
southern group, which was encircled
in the region of Salihll nnd surren
dered. TIip cities of Bnllkesri nnd
Snndirdhl have been occupied by the
Nationalists.
Smyrna will seen be the only re
maining outlet for the stream of refu
gees fleeing before the nppreach of the
enemy, as the Greeks are evacuating the
districts of Bairalmlch, Eis-Ine, Alva
jik and BIghn, en the Asiatic side of
the Dardanelles, and the transfer of
civilians te the European side of the
straits is progressing.
These districts comprise the entire
Mount Ida peninsula, from Pnndenna
en the Sea of Mnrmern te Aivndjlk en
the Aegean, which had been strongly
organized, with the Important city of
BIghn as the capital.
The Greek Government Is determined
net te evacuate Smyrna, War Minis
ter Theotekls assured a deputation of
officers which nwnited upon him en his
arrival here yesterday. The Minister
was nccempanled from Athens by Gen
eral Deusmants, chief of staff ; Generals
Polimenakes and Pnllls nnd Colonel
Sarlyannts. The evncuatlen would mean
the abandoning of GOO square miles of
territory nnd mere than one-third of
the shore line of the Dardanelles nnd
the Marmora nnd Aegean Seas new held
by the Greeks.
Londen. Sept. 7. (By A. P.) The
Biitlsh Cabinet nt its meeting today
discussed the situation In Asia Miner
which Is causing nnxlety te the l'ntcnte
Powers.
The position arising out of the vic
torious Turkish offensive has given rise
te active exchanges between the nllled
cnpltals. both In regard te the possi
bility of nn armistice and the question
of safeguarding the Christian popula
tion In the districts evacuated by the
Greeks. The problem of removing the
refugees from Smyrna presents .serious
difficulties, ns the vessels for their
transportation, in the event of n sud
den emergency, are net available at this
time.
As regards armistice, neither bellig
erent, se far as Is known, has taken any
definite step, nltheugh the Greeks are
reported willing te end the hostilities.
It Is believed the Turks would be un
willing te consider any suggestion for
en armistice at present.
Among the morning reports Is one te
the effect that King Constantine has
quit Athens. Further details arc lack
ing.
Constantinople, Sept. 7. (By A. P.)
A Turkish official cemmunique re
ceived here confirms the conclusion of
the first phase of the operations In the
southern sector nnd the previsional sus
pension of the Turkish offensive against
the (J reeks.
The future of Smyrna Is believed te
depend uikiu the lnojnle of the Greek
army and the hrmness or the Ktnyrnnn
cMl administration. The influx of
thousands of refugees has encouraged
the elements of disorder nnd created
such nn nbnnrmnl situation In the rapi
tnl of Ionia that High Commis "loner
Sterghiadis is reported te be consider
ing n plea for allied Intervention.
The Greek military mis-ien here
claims further successes for t' e North
ern forces, which are reported te have
routed Turkish Irregulars equipped with
aerial and machine guns nfter two days
of fighting. An attack en Gheuillk, six
teen miles north of Brusn en the Sen
of Marmora, was repulsed by the Greek
destroyer Panther.
Twe American submarine chaseis
have been dispatched te Mudanin, the
pert of Brusn, where two British and
one French destroyer nlse have been
sent te protect the minorities.
A Ilritlsh warship has removed the
British residents of Sekin, fifty miles
south of Smyrna, the fall of which is
expeited hourly.
The liOO.000 Greek nnd Armenian
refugees from the interior of Asia Miner
who are pouring Inte Smyrna present
a tremendous relief problem. The first
steps for preventing threatened epidem
ics nnd wholesale starvation were taken
today nt a conference of American Re
lief agencies presided ever by Rear Ad
miral Mark L. Bristel, United States
Navv. at which the Smyrna Emergency
Relief Committee wns organized.
The committee is composed of repre
sentatives of the Near East Relief, the
American Red Cress, the American As
sociation Benrd, the Yeung Men's
Christian Association and the Yeung
Women's Christian Association. These
organizations are besieged with appeals
te ship Immediately all available sup
plies of medicines nnd feedstuffs and
experienced relief workers te Smyrna.
The messages picture the deplorable
plight of the refugees, who ure forced
te abandon everything for a trek of
several days under n broiling sun.
A report is current here the ICemal
ists have captured General Triceupls,
the new commander-in-chief of the
Greek Army In Asia .Miner.
One Greek Army commander, two
corps commander nnd five colonels were
taken prisoner Saturday, while ethers
captured by the Turks include 400 offi
cers nnd 10,000 men.
It Is said Hustapha Kemal treated
the captured generals with courtesy,
permitting them te write te their farai-
lies.

Proof that great quantities of drugs,

are being diverted from legitimate chan

will be laid before Judge Monaghan
today by Dr. Charles E. Brlckcr, police
surgeon, who has handled nil the drug

"If the manufacturers were forced te

"One of the 'large pharmaceutical
houses can manufacture In ene day
sufficient narcotic drugs te meet the
legitimate needs of all the physicians

One Legitimate -Outlet
"Under the lnw the manufacturers
have only ene legitimate outlet for the
nnrcetlcs they make that is the proper
use of these poisons for medical pur
poses. "Drug seized In large quantities,
hearing the original labels of the manu
facturers prove that a large proportion
of the drugs comes from America.
"The drugmnkers contend thnt the
supply of narcotics In the hands of the
drug ring comes from abroad. Let
them show what becomes of the stuff
they manufacture.
"The Federal narcotic law ns It ex

He needs narcotics only occasionally.
But when he needs a seething drug te

Crimes Are Fewer
According te Dr. Brickcr, the crusade
carried en by Judge Monaghan has been
fruitful of n great improvement In crime
conditions In the city.
"Captain Van Hern, who is In
charge of the police end of the cru
sade, tells me that crimes of violence,
such as held-ups nnd burglaries, have
been cut down 50 per cent since the
crusade began," said Dr. Brickcr.
"Your drug user who craves his poi
son and lacks money te buy It will
commit held-ups, murders or any crime
you can name te get narcotics. All
the haUtual users of drugs who can be
found haTe been ai rested and put where
they cannot harm the public. There
fore these grimes have fallen off. But
if the present improvement is te be
maintained. It will be absolutely nec
essary te force the manufacturer;, of
these drugs te cut down the amounts
they ure making."
