 Canadian Tourists Need Passports.
 Local young men who for vacation CT business trips. are contemplating going into Canada, should provide ports or other means of definitely es- tab1ishing their American citizenship. It is not so easy today to get across the border or to get back again as it has been in the past. The screws have been frightened up and close inquiry and checking up is made of every male who wants to get into or come out of the Dominion: provided that his age is between IS and 45 years.
 Two local men who were in Canada last week, for very brief stay. were closely quizzed and had to establish their identity before they were allow ed to start for home. A passport, how ever, affords full protection to an American citizen.
 ArtiIIeryn1en in Fine Form. 1jaI1fananf nf Q Thirteenth company, Fort Terry, while on a brief leave of absence to visit his home. says that the boys of the To- cal command are fast rounding into fine form under the routine that is in force.
 ",rhe boys are developing so1dier1y qualities so rapidly that you would hardly know them" the lieutenant said. We have a fine company of men and the recruits are doing sp1en- didly. We are kept busy, but the men are becoming hardened and accustom- ed to their duties and are making fine progress"
 Summoned for Examination.
 Official notifications calling many more killingly young men for exami- nation by the exemption board for this district were received through the mails here Monday morning.

NINETY-THREE WOMEN
 REGISTER TO VOTE
All on Republican List - No Womel Under Democratic Applications - Men 108 to 32.

Registrar Hermon G. Carver gave out Monday afternoon the following g figures showing the additions of names to the caucus lists of the re- publication and democratic parties in the town of Putnam the result of the two meetings of the registrars to receive applications for enrollnent: republican men, 10S; republican wo- men, 93: democratic men, 32; demo- cratic women, 0. About 40 names were removed from the caucus lists in the yearly revision made to bring it up to date, these removals being on account of removal from the town of the persons involved in the pro- ceedings, on account of the death of registrants and for other reasons un- der which the board may so act.
 MT. Carver says that the caucus lists are now made up of so many names in Putnam that they are rap idly assuming the proportions of the voting lists.
 The heavy registration by the re- publicans is taken by some observers, in the democratic party, as an indi- cation of a drive during the coming winter to regain control of the city administration. which for nearly two years past has been directed by the democrats.
 The registration of such a large number of women voters is also taken as an indication of an increasing in- terest among the women in town af- fairs, particularly as regards the ad- n1inistration of schools.

SENATOR McCUM5ER'S
 ESTIMATE OF WAR COST
Says if it Should Last Five Years it
 Will Cost U. s. $4o,oO0, 100000.


 Washington, Aug. 13.-Speaking in Senator McCumber declared that the whole tax scheme contemplated a per iod that will cover five years and that unless the war should end suddenly, the United States would have to eX- pend $40,0O0, 100000 in that time. He said that America might have to put five million men in the field and he believed their support and sacrifice should be enough for this generation, adding that "the war debt should be borne by our emancipated children" Asserting that $1,O00,000 900 would have been enough to raise by taxa tion at this time. the senator said the balance should be paid out by the sale of bonds.
 Senator McCumber declared that business must not be unduly hampered CT crippled, pointing out that the bus mess profits must not only furnish all taxes but the money to absorb the bonds He wanted to see the poorer class and business of moderate means make sufficient profits to permit them to purchase most of the soHein1netlI seli.ll t,l bonds and leave the large capital 10 continue in business and respond in taxes fors the support of the govern ment. Taking fifty per cent. or in- come for taxes, he said, is likely to result in withdrawal of capital from business and it's investment solely in government bonds, as the aVera ge bus mess pays only seven per cent. net and by so doing they would escape eI further taxes and responsibility of business.
 The bill should be speedily enacted, the senator said, so that business could adjust itself accordingly.
