LONDON, July 10.-Registration Of
voters for the next general election in
Great Britain-whenever that may oc-
cur-closes this month. Britons who
are at home may consult the registry
lists which are posted on doors of
chapels. churches and public buildings
throughout the country. and may petit
ton their town clerk for the correction
of any omission or mistake.
But the thousands of men who are
fighting abroad or in training at home,
and who therefore capnot safeguard
their interests. are protected by a spe-
cial wartime act of parliament. which
provides that no man may lose his
civic privileges through serving his
country as volunteer. Any other
person may appeal in his behalf for the
correction of errors in the lists, and no
soldier may be disqualified during his
absence on the ground that his wife
or family has received assistance from
the local poor-relief fund.

ANTI.AIR CRAFT PROJECTS.
Ordnance Department Experiment.
ing With Various Proiectiles,

The ordnance department of the army
is conducting extensive experiments
with projectiles designed for use
against aircraft. They are Of two
sizes. one-pounder and three-inch pro-
jectiles. While the War Department
has built two air-gun carriages for
experimental purposes. in all proba-
bility 1t will depend upon the new type
of carriages Of field artillery for de-
Tense against aircraft. These new car
riages will permit of sufficient eleva-
ton to train the regular field pieces
on aircraft and will make any light
field artillery available for defense
against aeroplanes and dirigible bal
looms. 1t is thought that time fuses
can be used more effectively against
aircraft than those that explode by
impact Night and day tracers will be
used in all probability on shells that
