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.

w
Washington, Aug. 15.—Warning
to young girls to be watchful of"the
acquaintanceships they make with
soldiers was issued yesterday by the
War and Navy Departments' com
missions on training camp activities.

not intended to reflect on the char
acter of the men in the service, who
as a whole are clean and upstand
ing.
Nevertheless, the statement says,
no young woman should approach or
converse familiarly with a man in
uniform unless introduced by a
mutual friend, or unless he has been
properly vouched for by the com
munity organization.
