Perhaps the greatest step from the eating Of sweets
simply for TASTE to their consumption for food value
has been in the immense quantities sent 10 the front

All Of the belligerent governments are supplying
their armies with constantly increasing rations Of
sweets In this they are following the example Of
the United States which several years ago established
precedent by sending candy by the ton to the troops

REGISTRATION FOR
CITY ELECTION NOT
AFFECTED BY RULE

Registration for the next general
election, registration of women voters
and for city elections will not be af
fected by the stopping OF the constitu
tional convention, said County Clerk
Kelly Saturday morning.
Absolutely the only matter affected
by the ruling lis the registration for
the convention itself, said Kelly
Everybody who wants to vote at the
next general election will have to
register, at the next general registra-
tion next April and so far as the gen.
eral election is concerned, the special
registration is wasted.
Nothing in connection with the
woman suffrage law was decided by
the supreme court, and the women can
and must register next year In order
to vote at the general election, just
as the men will.
Clerks who had been busy with the
special registration were out of work
Saturday morning. Authority to stop
registration came in telegram from
the attorney general last night, shortly
after the news Of the calling off of
the convention.

DRAFT DRAWING
LATE next WEEK

WASHINGTON, July 14.-With 9S4
of the 4559 exemption district still un-
heard from today, an accurate predict
ion as to the date of the great drawing
under the army seiestive eoascrfptfon
law, still was impossible. Most of the
officials who are closely watching the
situation believed, however, that all
would be ready in time for the draw
ing next week.
More than 400 districts filed their
reports yesterday and last night. The
bulk of those missing districts are in
large cities, and will report about the
same time. 1t has been estimated
that New York City's report will be
complete by Wednesday or Thursday.
Newspapers in big population GEN.
ters of the country are beginning to
realize more clearly every day the
magnitude of the task before them in
announcing the order for appearance
of each registrant. 1t seems likely
now that majority of the papers will
be compelled to print on the first day
only the names of the men who are
likely to be called to make up the first
$4,000 to be drafted for military
service

ITALY WILL NOT
Give UP C0CCH|

ROME. July 14.-The ministry OF
foreign affairs notified the American
embassy yesterday, that it was i'm
possible to extradite Alfredo Cocchi,
the slayer of Ruth Cruger, without
violating the fundamental law Of the
country.
Peter A. Jay, charge d'affaires, dur
ing the absence of Ambassador Page,
called at the foreign Office, and was
told that the ministry regretted 1t
was unable to satisfy the desire OF
the United States to have Cocchi
sent back especially now, in view of
the relations of Italy and America.
Although the original questions
asked by Joseph H. Grigg, represent
ing Police Commissioner Wood of
New York, have as yet been unans-
wered, new questions have been sub
mitted to the Italian government
through the American embassy. These
deal chiefly with Cocchi's reported
connivance with the New York police.
