DEPUTIES IGNORANT

Them All Right, but He's
Not in Office Much.

THE registration books are sup
L posed to be available for public

Deputies in the county clerks Of
flee denied to a World reporter We'd
nosday that they knew anything about
the registration books. All said that
they had never seen them. The deputy
in charge of the office was quite posi-
tive that kentOn had never returned
them or furnished the county clerk
with copy Of the registration list.
Wednesday night cline telephoned
The World office that he had had the
books in his possession for more than
two months but that they had been
misplaced. The deputies did not even
know they were in the office. he ad-
mitted.
Evidently the books are only acces-
Slhle while Cline is in the office. He
is a candidate for reelection and as
the campaign nears the close he is on
duty only part Of the time. With citi-
zcns likely to ask for the books at any
hour of the day, It is necessary that
they be open at any time.

Secretary Lansing tonight after his

definite decision.
The secretary appeared in unusual

no which decision by the United States
might approximate precedent at

submarine operations Germany may
contemplate on this side of the

Before any policy is determined
upon it is expected that the opinion
of the neutrality board created at the
beginning OF the war to advise the
state department In regard to such
questions, will be consulted The
board was called into session i'm
mediately after the C-boat appeared
