WOMEN WHO REGISTER FOR
SERVICE NOT TO BE DRAFTED

The woman's committee of the
Council Of National Defense authori-
ICES the following:
There is some misunderstanding
about the registration for service
which is being taken in different
parts Of the United States by the
various divisions Of the woman's
committee. 1t is we'll to make clear
the following facts:
l. The registration is purely vol
untary- there is no compulso, about
it,
official record of the woman-power
of the country so that in case of
emergency the Government may
know where to turn for any needed
service
3. Even though a woman offers
her service when she registers, she
will not be required to give that ser
vice if her circumstances have
changed when she is asked to serve
and she is then unable to fill her
promise.
4. The registration is not design
ed to take women from their homes
at any time unless they are able ard
willing to serve away from home.
The woman's committee has re-
t.uested the state divisions to have
the registrars thoroughly instructed
in regard to the work, and suggests
to the State Chairman that registra-
men think they are to be drafted for
tion day formally proclaimed by the
Governor of the State, or announced
by the State council of defense has
been found most satisfactory.
The misunderstanding concerning
the registration is largely in districts
of foreign population, where the wo-
men think they are to be drafted for
work outside their homes, whether
they want to work or not The wo-
mans committee lays stress upon the
statement that both the registration
and the service are voluntary but it
urges that every woman over 16 years
of age register in order to complete
a census Of the woman-power of the
country, which may be of inestimable
value in war work.

ARE YOU CONSERVING FOOD?

When you sit down to eat, remem-
ber if you can't serve the country
at the battle front you can serve her
at the dinner table. Preach and live
the gospel Of the clean plate. Order
no more than you ought to eat; eat
no more than you really need; permit
no edible left-overs to be destroyed.
Considering the high price of food
stuffs, this admonition may seem to
many as waste of space, but the
fact is, the great quantities of food
stuffs continue to find their way to
the garbage can, despite the high
cost of living. Abstemiousness at
the table not only helps the individu-
al, it helps the world. Let US con-
serve food the best we know how.

clPQIElE'S CREST.
Won !! O BY lLA! ITALIANS
AFTER 4 [:R LONG FIGHT
R,ss;aps Win Back Much RI
a Ground

Tho crest of Monte San Gabrielle,
commanding the plain of Gorlzla to
the south and southeast and the Fri
lido valley to the east, has been
ss.ntured : by the Italians after three
,vseks of the most bitter fighting,
.he Italian embassy at Washington
announces:
! This news of the victory, probably
he greatest feat of the Italian arms
fms far in the war, precedes the
latest official report from Rome.
rr;day's statement from the Italian
v.r office says that on Thursday the
fighting on the entire Austro-1tal-
i'm front was impeded by heavy rain.
Several times the Italians had
reached the summit Of the great
mountain, so important to their fu-
ture progress east of Gorilla, as
veil as on the Carso, only to be
beaten back again. On the slopes
Of the rugged rock in the last few
weeks there has been some of the
heaviest and most sanguinary fight
inr of the war, with the Italians
hurting themselves forward in desper-
ste attacks and the Austrians hold
ing to the crest as desperately. San
Gabriele's top was occupied by the
Italians, the embassy reports, after
the fortified hill or saddle Of Dol
and the Gargaro basin, the main
bulk Of San Gabrielle, had been
taken. The Austrians, however,
nil cling to some positions on the
mountain. In the forest of Tarno-
70, east Of Monte San Gabrielle, the
Italians captured positions from the
Ausrisns after suffering heavy
loaes.
Except along the Classmates pla-
tan, on the Aisne, there has been
~ marked activity on the other fight
Ing fronts. German attacks against
he French positions on Classmates
plateau, Paris reports, were repulsed
With heavy losses, Berlin says Ger
nan troops penetrated to the Sec
oad French line and inflicted severe
casualties. The British artillery fire
n Flanders, Berlin reports, has in
ceased to drumfire.

Alice Joyce In Dixie Feature.

"The Courage Of Silence" at the
Dixie, is one of those stories which
will remain popular to the end OF
time, probably, because 1t embodies
the sympathetic qualities which have
so large part in our lives, because it
is interesting, and in the end leaves a
satisfied feeling. 1t is gratifying, even
though life is not always so kind, to
have things turn out as they do in the
case Of Bradley, played by Harry T.
Morey with great naturalness; Mer.
cedes, in which Alice Joyce gives a
most convincing performance, and
Alice, beautiful and appealing figure
in the hands of Cleo Ayres.
Bradley and Alice, with their two
children, are happy and prosperous till
fate sends him to London There he
meets Mercedes, unhappy wife of the
jealous Spanish ambassador. She, ig.
norant of the fact that he is married,
flies from her husband with Bradley
to France When she learns the truth,
she leaves him and enters a convent.
Later, as novitiate nurse, she nurses
Alice and the two children, who have
been stricken while travelling in
France, and finally reunites the hus.
band and wife. Only at the end does
Bradley recognize in the gentle nurse,
the woman for whom he wrecked his
home. And then, with the courage of
silence, she bids them good.by and car.
ries the guilty secret in her heart.

Kitty Gordon, Dashng Adventures.

In spite OF its sentimental title, For
get.me.not," at the Grand today, is not
8 tender pastoral drama but the hectic
story Of an adventures, who in spite
of her titles and jewels still chershes
an affection for this tiny blue flower.
Hardly enough emphasis is placed on
the flower episode to justify the tltle'
and we have every reason to suppose
that the mercenary lady in question
would prefer orchids to the modest for
get.me.not, all sentiment to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Aside from
this discrepancy, the character is loGl'
cal enough and meets her just fate ait
er the manner OF unregenerate Vam'
pires.
We first see the heroine as younb
CorsiCan girl, a member OF flshnets,
who Is betrothed to an honorable and
devoted fisherman. The languishing
glances of French nobleman aided
by string Of pearls) lure her away
from her home by the sea, and we next
find her in Paris as the Marquise
Stefanie, mistress Of notorious gam
bling house, and bent on Turing young
men away from their fiancees. From
no motive except sheer perversity she
attempts to annul her sons marriage
and make his child illegitimate but
her schemes are foiled by a ru8e on
the part of a former lover, and she Is
safely banished to Rome, much to the
relief Of the rest Of the cast.
Kitty Gordon was far more conyine-
ing as the dashing adventures than
as the peasant fishergirl, for her pa
trician beauty and manner is hardly
adapted to the peasant type on sea or
land. Montagu Love plays the fisher
man, his twin brother, and the twin
brothers double, with bewildering YER.
