Urge Uniform Law
For Soldier Vote
Commissioners Back From the
Front Say Changes Will
Be Necessary
[SpeciaI CorrespOndenceI ]

ALBANY, Nov. so. - Francis NJ.
Hugo, Secretary of State, will be pre-
pared to recommend 20 the Legisla-
ture next January certain amendments
TO the election law TO enable New
York state officials more readily TO
obtain the vote Of soldiers and sailors
from the state who will be on duty IN
Furopean lands and waters next Elec-
ton Day, if the war is not ended by
that time.
Two of the states four special cleo
tion commissioners l.. Grant anu
Howard Osterhout esignated last
October to take the soldier and sailor
vote. have returned from a circuit OF
more than 10000 miles of land and sea.
They brought back their ballots IN
snecial containers, and also trunktul
Of relics from the Marne, the Somme
and Verdun.
They reported to Secretary OF state
Hugo it will be almost impossible
next year, if the troops are still IN
the trenches, TO take the vote as II
was taken this year, as the situation
will be more complex then. II IS be-
lieved that all the states Of the Union
will be asked 70 pass uniform iegIsla
ton for taking the votes OF their SOL
diers and sailors.
Without definite knowledge as to the
exact number of troops which would
be in France on Election Day, the COM
mission this year carried several tons
of supplies, which were first taken to
London and there distributed to the
men who might be in training in that
country or on board ships, the base
of which was some English port. The
remainder Of the supplies were taken
TO General Pershing's headquarters
and from there by aid of automobiles
transported to the military encamp-
ments at which there were New York
state men.
Aside from the election the commits
sion was able to study at close range
the morale of the American troops,
finding it excellent. They say the men
now in France are eager TO play their
part in the world war and without a
single exception are well clothed and
well fed.
The American troops are in winter
headquarters, snug and comfortable.
Their only request is 20 the people
back home TO furnish them with Amer
lean tobacco and plenty Of reading
matter, both of which are scarce.

CAMP DIX, n. j., Dec. 2.-aThis
promises to be a bronco-busting' and
perhaps a man-busting, week. A large
consignment of horses reached camp
within the last few days. Many of
them have never mad bit in their
mouths, and many OF the orderlies who
will have to ride them have never
straddled horse. Both are due for
brand-new experiences.
Sixty horses will be turned over to
the military police tomorrow, and
soon they will have twenty-seven
motorcycles and a dozen automobiles
as well. Their duties, when fully
equipped, will include not only patrol
ling the camp, but also missions ne
cessitated by emergency calls from
outside the camp.

Advisory Committee Will
Handle Garments Knit for
Men in u. S. Service
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. Secretary
Daniels has followed up the blow he
gave the Navy League when he barred
its members from all naval properties
and refused to permit gifts coming
from the league to be accepted by or
ganizing the Woman's Advisory Com
mittee on Naval Auxilisries to the Red
Cross War Council. The plan Is that
in the future women knitting sweaters
or socks for sailors will forward them
through the new organization instead
Of through the Navy League.
Incidentally the Secretary has enlist
cd Mrs. George Dewey, widow OF the
admiral, in his new organization. AT
the time that Daniels barred the Navy
League the league brought forward
Mrs. George Dewey as an individual
through whom the leagues members
would make their gifts to sailors.
Official Statement Issued
Following is the official statement de-
scribing the work Of Secretary Daniels's
new organizations:
The Woman's Advisory Committee

Secretary of the Navy Daniels IN
his address at the initial meeting ex-
pressed approval of the work OF the
women of the country in making knit
ted garments and other comforts Tor
the men of the navy and marine corps:
The Secretary asked the cooperation OF
the women of the country with the
American Red Cross in this work. The
Advisory Committee on Navy AuXli-
iaries will act as a channel OF com
munication between the Red Cross and
the Navy Department, with which 1t
is in constant touch through paymas-
ters of the navy designated for that
purpose.
Form Local Auxiliaries
plans for furthering the work of
the navy auxiliaries throughout the
country were considered by the com
mittee and the War Council in joint
session. 1t is urged that women wish
ing to knit especially for the navy
and marine corps apply to the Red
Cross chapter nearest to them with
reference TO becoming a member of
Navy AuXiliary or forming a Navy
Auxiliary Of that chapter. The Red
Cross chapters will also furnish in
formation as to methods of securing
wool and directions for the return of
the knitted garments. Garments and
other comforts designated for the
navy will be forwarded from the. Red
Cross depots to certain designated ma
val stations, and thence will be sent
TO the ships.
