ALUMNAE WAR WORK.
Women Graduates and Students at Uni.
versity Of Vermont Join Forces.


War work is claiming the attention Of
everybody these days and the U. v. M.
Alumnae club of Burlington Is not to be
a back number in this regard. A move-
ment has recently been organized by the
members Of this club to help on the work
and. at the same time. bring together the
alumnae of the city and the girls Of the
university for the purpose of a better &C.
quaintance between the two groups. The
plan as presented to the undergraduate
women Of the university has received the
hearty endorsement Of all four of the
classes, and virtually all Of the young
women volunteered to take up the work
as outlined.
The plan is this: The local members of
the U. V. NJ. Alumnae club and the young
women Of the university will be grouped
alphabetically into four groups, the alum
nae being intermingled with the UNDER
graduates. Each one Of these groups will
meet every fourth Saturday. part Of them
in the afternoon and part in the evening.
at the home OF Mrs. ]. w. Votey on Main
street. The drst meeting will be held next
Saturday. II was not considered practice
able for all to try to get together at the
same time. so this plan was adopted for
the convenience OF everybody concerned.
and each group will meet once a month.
In the meantime, the alumnae ana the
undergraduate girls will knit at home for
the work which is to be taken up. This
work will embrace three distinct
branches Of war aid. the Red Cross. the
Navy League and work for the French
wounded, which includes the making of
clothes for the orphan children Of France.
The Red Cross will supply the yarn for
the work In its department.. and the Navy
League will do the same. The material
for the French aid will have to be fur
nished by the club and this Is being done
by series Of concerts and entertainments
Of which the lecture on ''Nationalism In
Music" given by Mrs. J. w. Votey last
Saturday was the first. The Undergrad
uate girls will be put to no expense what
ever to carry on this work. All that Is
asked of them is their time and co-opera-
ton. and this they are freely giving.
An executive committee composed OF
eight members Of the local Alumnae club
Miss May o. Boynton. president. Mrs. ].
w. Votey, Miss Sarah f. Potter. Miss
Jennie L. Rowell, Mrs. l.. NJ. Simpson.
Mrs. s. d. Hodge. Mrs. Ellen Johnson and

dents of the four college classes, Miss

OFFICIAL REGISTRATION
NOW REACHES $3.50, 1892
Returns From Niagara County N. T.,
and Three Wyoming Precincts
to Be Heard From, However.

Official war registration returns. with
Niagara county, n. Y, and three Wy
oming precincts missing, made public
today show a total enrolment of
9.569.3S2. or approximately 9s per cent
of the census bureau estimate. The
apparent shortage is more than offset
by the number of men in the army and
navy who were not required to reg
lister.
OF the registrants reported. 7.s47,7s4
are white citizens. 953,899 colored, L.
239.S65 unnaturalized foreigners from
countries other than Germany, III 1923
unnaturalized Germans. including those
who have taken out their first natu-
ralization papers. and 6.001 Indians.
The abnormal shiftings of population
since the census of 1910 caused the
census bureau to overestimate or fall
short of it's figures in several states.
but as the excess in some states served
to compensate for the discrepancies in
others. the general total was not ma
terially affected.
There was nothing in the returns,
said census bureau officials, to indicate
that there had been any general at
tempt at evasion of registration by any
important element in the population.
