VOTING IN CAMP.

Under the new provisions of law covering this point, the American soldiers in the army will be permitted to vote in the November elections, and ballot boxes will be provided in advance and placed in the various army Y NJ. C. A. camps tor the ac- comodation of the soldiers.
 There is no provision for the boys in hte foreign countries to take part in the election, but thep perhaps could not do so with any degree of satisfaction anyhow They are far apart from local affairs. and are so distributed and so moving that it would be almost impractical to at tempt to have these soldiers vote during the period of actual warfare
 The American soldier will be the American civilian, however, within a little while. and then he will be a political factor of utmost importance He will be the most influential fac- tor in American noliiles on his re- turn, and the nations affairs will bc benefited by the broadening he will have received.
