Small Chance For Any Commissioners | The State Department to-day re ceived a copy of the general order of the War Department relative to tak ing of votes of soldiers In France In November. The concluding paragraph says: "Where the state laws require the sending of election commission ers to take the soldiers' votes, the military authorities will place at the disposal of such commissioners every assistance that is found to be com patible with the exigencies of the military situation. In most instances, however. It will be impracticable to permit commissioners to take the votes." This is taken to mean here that there will be small chance for sol diers to vote except through the mail and as the Pennsylvania law requires secrecy of the ballot, this makes a new question to meet. All mall must ■be censored.
