Mrs. Whitney Tells Ad Club

French war posters were shown by
3lrs. Belle Armstrong Whitney, for
eign secretary Of the Surgical Dress
ings Committee, to illustrate her talk
on how France adyertises the war, at
the luncheon Of the New York Adyer-
fising Club yesterday.
Mrs. Whitney has made twenty-one
trips to France since the outbreak of
the war.
She said that simplicity was the
secret Of effectiveness Of the French
posters. She pointed out that the
French artists made their appeal more
forcefui BY employing stern material
subjects. American illustrators. she
declared, fell short because of their
weakness for pretty girls"
The power of her war posters and
placards is largely responsible fol-

War Department
Opposes Soldiers
Voting in France
1t Fears Work of Taking
Ballots Would Impair
Efficiency

WASHINGTON. March 2o.-A formal
against any attempt to
record the soldier vote in France for
elections held during the war has been
prepared by the War Department. After
an assessment of the opinions Of Gen
eral Pershing and his staff, and of
department officials on this side. it was
learned tonight that the department.
has determined that no practical
method of taking the votes of members
of the expeditionary forces can be de-
vised.
The subject was brought up recently
by Western state. which proposed q
scheme Of its own for obtaining the
vote of it's citizens in France. While it
might be possible for q single state
to accomplish this, the army holds that
extension of that privilege to all states
would impose a burden upon the mill
tary forces at the front that would
seriously impair their efficiency.
New York State obtained the vote of
France last election, sending commits
sion to France for that purpose. 1t is
pointed out, however, that the troops
were then all in training camps and
not actually engaged at the front, and
also that the process of replacement of
casualties had not set IT
The situation now is wholly changed
and the time is not far distant when
every active division in France will be
composed of men from many widely
scattered states The localization of the
divisions as they leave this side virtu-
ally is swept aside by the replacement
policy.
In this situation, should an attempt
| to poll the soldier vote be made at g
national election, forty-eight state com.
miss ions would have to visit every unit
of the army in France and determine
the eligibility of the men in each unit
claiming residence in each state tc
vote. According to War Department of
fcials it would be hopeless under
taking, and since the Federal govern
ment cannot itself participate in the re
cording of the vote which must, under
the laws of each state, be taken BY
state officials, there is no remedy
Aside from the physical difficulties
considerable disorganization must fol
low any attempt at taking the vote
in FRANCE, particularly as the men ar,
changing from division to division
every day. as the casualties in actor
and from natural causes make sucl
changes necessary.
Existing orders fully provide for tn
recording Of votes Of soldiers on thi
side.

Metropolitan Consulate to
Enlist Every One of
Its Members

The Metropolitan Consulate, New
York City motor club with member
ship of 1000 which is associated with
the American Automobile Association,
yesterday began an intensive campaign
to enlist the support Of its members
for the A. A. AS free motor trans
portation service between the greater
city and Camp Upton.
"The Metropolitan Consulate, which
is one Of the most representative motor
clubs in the country, has done much
to help us pu. over the New YorA~to-
Yaphank idea" said James A. Hem

"They want to get every one Of their
members back of this plan, and the
board of directors has assigned George
II. Key, general representative CT the
organization, to carry OIL campaign
to line them all up. Mr.. Key VIII de-
vote the next few weeks to making
personal calls on various members Of
the organization and appealing to them
to donate their cars for the free SER
vice"
Applications for reservations on the
first run to 4aphank on Easter Dun
day, March 81, are keeping pace with
the number of cars already available
for use Mr. Hemstreet said last night,
however, that he wanted more appll-
cations and more cars"
Yesterday chauffeur employed by
prominent Wall Street broker called
on Mr.. Hcmstreet. I'm off on Sun
days." he said. "I've no car of my
own, Of course. But if you can get q
car for me III be mighty glad to do
nate my services as a driver and pilot
party Of the relatives of soldiers
from town to Camp Upton. That's the
best l can do to boost this plan, but
III do that much gladly"
"This incident" said Mr.. Hemstreet
drought to my mind the fact that
can get all the drivers l want without
any trouble. If there are persons will
ing to give their car; for the Sunday
lifts, but unable to pilot them down
personally or provide their own chauf-
fcurs, the American Automobile Asso-
citation will take their cars and pro.
vide expert drivers"
The action Of the American Defence
Society in lifting its ban on the use
Of motor cars on Sundays so tina
motorists might take part in the Caml
Upton service has given the movemen
considerable impetus, according to Mr.
Hemstreet
"Wc have had numerous response

said "Many OF them are going to tax

He is expected to join the board at

The instructions to the board, it was

Department, Signal Corps and aircraft
production board down TO the indi-
vidual factories whore contracts have
been placed, are under survey. 1t is
expected the work will be completed
and findings submitted in less than
three months time. 1t is unlikely that
the investigation can in any way nhu-
ence the output of battle planes which
are to be delivered in July.

Because Of the high cost of wheat
-four substitutes, advances of one cent
in the retail price of the unwrapped
Victory loaf and of one and half
cents for the same loaf wrapped were
sanctioned for New York City yester-
day by the Federal Food Board.
The new prices are: Sixteen-ounce

These prices were fixed after num-
Der of conferences between the board

bakers submitted statements of cost
Of materials and other expenses.

uay Stlll gives tne Ola prices OF bread
cents for the wrapped and S1a cents
for the unwrapped, l6-ounce loaf.
Yesterday was the first day of com
/ pulsory Victory Bread. The food ad-

last Monday that after March 20, yes
terday, bakers who sold bread not con-
tanning the requisite proportion OF

The fixing of the price of Victory
Bread affects all bread sold in New

Is supposed to be sold.
Accompanying the announcement O.
the rise in price is a reminder of thu
request Of Mr.. Hoover "to make tn,
new 12-ounce loaf serve where II

Analysis of the new price schedule
however, shows that the 16-ounce loa
is cheaper than the 12-ounce loaf. 7,
