pledged his enthusiastic support TO the
campaign to secure the vote for the
members OF the Expeditionary Forces.
and took the President to task for not
acting. Mr.. Roosevelt's letter, sent from
New York October IS, follows;
my DEAR Mr.. JOHNS most heartily
and cordially join with you in your APP
peal 10 the President TO secure efficient
action TO do away with the dlsfranchise-
ment OF American soldiers on the battle
fronts. The President recently made an
appeal for enfrsnchIsing women on the
ground that such acknowledgements was
course OF his speech he stated as a tust.-
fication for demanding votes for women
that ii would be intol4rable to submit to
the disfra nchisemert OF our soldiers.
THE President has been mIsinformed
u
by those who should have Informed him
as to the facts In the case. otherwise he
would have known that as n matter OF
fact our soldiers are now actually dis
franchised. II Is useless TO refer this
matter TO the separate States We are
dealing with the United States Army.
and II IL the duty of the United States
Government to take the lead in action
for the army OF the United States.
To refer the matter back to forty
six States is TO invite and insure delay
and injustice. I believe that the Pres-
dent should urge Congress to act, in the
first place pointing out the method. but
II this seems impracticable, then I
earnestly advise that the President sum
mon all the Governors Of the States to
a conference, precisely as / summoned
them when | was President in order 10
secure prompt action in conservation
matters In any event the national
Government must itself take the lead in
order TO prevent the continuance OF this
intolerable injustice. Yours very truly,

ION TO BERLIN" WILL
SPUR ARMY CONTEST
NoUel Game by Troops at 8
u. S. Base Ports in France.
By the Associated Press.

TOURS, France. Oct. 26 (delayed) -
An ''On TO Berlin" contest will be in
augurated among the American Army
orga nizations at the nine base ports on
November to See which organization
can unload freight. guns, food, clothing
and other material in the fastest time.
MaJor-Gen. Hartford. commanding the

test in order to increase the already
high rivalry among the base port or
ganizations.
When the ION to Berlin" contest
starts the secrecy which has covered
the names Of the American base ports
in France will be lifted SO that those
at home may follow the progress Of the
contest as IL It were baseball game.
The distance from each port to Berlin
has been divided into equal parts so that
II each port merely equalled it's record
for the previous eight weeks all would
reach Berlin together. But any port ex-
ceeding the previous weekly records
will move much faster toward Berlin
and, consequently. will arrive there,
theoretically. much sooner than the
others
The scores OF the individual bases
will be displayed weekly in the Y. NJ.
c. A. huts and will be supplemented by
moving pictures, which will be shown in
the entire American army zone in France
as well as in the United States. Prizes
will be given for Individual distinction

TRY TO MAKE WILSON
GERMANS CHAMPION
Berlin Diplomats Driving q
Wedge to DiUide Allies.
Special DespatcA 10 The Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-That the Ger
man Government is seeking through its
peace manouvres to drive a wedge be-
tween the United States and the Allies
by attempting to make It appear that
President Wilson Is the champion of
the German people, against British and
French designs, Is clearly indicated In
an inspired statement just published by
tire Norddeutsche AH0emeine Zeitun0,
the official mouthplece OF the Wilhelm
strasse.
Germany, ignoring all the President
says about the lack OF faith of the
German Government and the demand
for surrender of Kaiserlsm, &C., assumes
that the President Is now using his
power with the Entente to negotiate
terms which Germany apparently re-
CARDS with complacence.
1--WE therefore assume the Nord-
deutsche AH0enieine Zeitung says after
referring to German reforms, that
President Wilson, whose care above all
is humanity, Is using all his influence to
reach a positive result in the negotia-
tions with the Allies"
In the first part OF the statement this
official German organ says:
The German people are in the midst
OF rendering secure anew a system the
fundamental importance of which PresI-
dent Wilson recognizes. Other peoples
have required decades OF storming de-
velopment for this task. It Is impossl-
Bile to solve questions of such Importance
except in dependence upon an armi-
stice."
When attention was called TO this
statement tonight It was said that it's
purpose was obvious The German
Government is trying by every means
IN Its power 10 cause friction among
the United States and France ana Great
Britain. BY attempting to place the
president in the role OF champion OF
the rights OF the German people at
this time the German diplomats II ,s
said, undoubtedly hope that this NAV
tend 10 arouse Indignation in both
france ana Great Britain.
oincials note that the German Gov-
eminent seeks to make II appear that
peace reforms must necessarily he d.
layed and that the armisttce therefore
should not he based on terms whiA

Tagebidtt says II is step forward.
The Td0esseitWHg calls II a 'humiliating
document" The KoeInische Zeitun0
complains Of the "obscurity with refer
ence to armistice terms" and asks
whether they are equivalent to capitula-
ton and whether world peace depends
on the within OF the Entente military
leaders. The paper adds that President
Wilson's effort to dispose of the Kaiser
Is presumptuous. III the armistice
terms are extravagant the enemy must
try to take by force of arms what We
shall never concsde voluntarily"
The FrnnkJurtoT Zeitun0 adds that

as could be accepted by brave, free
people until they absolutely must"

Soldiers and SnilOrs' Insurance.
(Colui.ibia State.l

Soldiers and sailors who have
| taken out war insurance policies may
under the law keep them in
force by paying the premiums
for Il period Of five years, or
within that time, they may convert
| them to other forms of insurance.
These policies have been written
while the men are young, they have
absolute safety, and are cheaper than
can be had from the underwriting
companies. Every owner of one of
them has valuable asset, and If he
allows it to lapse it cannot be re-
written
The young man whose life is IN
sured, entering business OF any kind,
has basis OF credit better than any
other, unless that other be a govern
ment bond or equally gilt-edged and
liquid security. The soldiers and
sailors who have these policies are
In possession Of a special benefit from
the government that other men have
not, and cannot get. Men who, fail
ing to perceive the good thing that
they have In war insurance, neglect
their policies and allow them to lapse
Will almost surely, at later day,
when they have hard problems of life
to race, regret their carelessness and
folly
The Secretary OF the Treasury, Mr..
McAdoo, few days ago urged the
soldiers and sailors to protect their
policies, and pointed out tn them the
uncommon commercial value that the
policies represent. His advice should
be impressed by every newspaper and
by every man having access to the
defenders of the country.
