At Topic AirdOme Tonight.

Depicting with vivid realism the
invasion of Belgium by the Germans,
"The Belgian" produced by Sidney
Olcott and starring Valentine Grant
and Walker Whiteside, unfolds a mar
rative of compelling interest, in
which all the scenes are laid in the
little kingdom of grief and elsewhere
in the war zone in Europe. "The Bel
gian,' which is the third special re-
lease of the United States Exhibitors
Booking Corporation, will have it's
initial presentation in this city at
the Topic Airdome tonight. Critics

will go down in cinema history as one
Of the greatest photoplays ever pro-
duced.

Gently succeeded in saving from a

A merchant steaemr loaded with u

American Lads to Have Full
Opportunity to Vote for
Candidates at Home.

There are already over 100000
men in the American forces abroad,
of whom the greater number are vot-
ers. By November possibly there will
be 100000. In any circumstances,
to take the vote of the soldiers in
France must be a complicated prob
lem. 1t becomes increasingly diff
cult as General Pershing's army in
creases in size
While the War Department stands
ready to assist the state authorities
so far as possible in meeting the re-
quirements of election laws, obviously
its first care mus. be that nothing
shall be done to interfere with active
military operations. Among so many
states the differences in election meth
DDS prohibit the adoption of any uni
form system for the army State Of
ficials have no power to surrender to
the military authorities the conduct
of elections; the military cannot es-
tablish, as a matter of general con-
venience, methods of voting that will
be valid under state laws. No easy
way exists for clearing up the con-
fusion. The best the War Depart
ment can do in the circumstances is
to prescribe certain general rules to
which the separate states must adj
just themselves. In many cases, this
no doubt will call for new legisla-
tion. In some cases, for lack of time
to amend the present election laws, it
will result in soldiers being deprived
of the opportunity to vote. The situ-
alton is conceivable where in a single
regiment gat the front the election
laws of half a dozen states might APP
ply, and in practice none of them
operate successfully.
Where certain organization is
made up chiefly of qualified voters
of one state, a fairly complete poll
may be had, but these conditions do
not by any means fit the overseas
forces as IA whole.--eNw York World.

Imperial's cotton makes up the gar
ments of the rich and poor alike; from
the funeral shroud to the layette, from
spools of cotton thread to fabric OF
automobile tires, it spins along, num-
ming the song of industry. Right now
the fields are flashing in the sunlight,
frightening the faces of the people,
who take courage in the sight. Soon
the pickers will gather in the ficecy
blooms, and fancy sees the staple
thread it's way into the four corners
lof the earth God forbid that much
of it should be made into gaul9 for
the soldiers in Ffance.

military service the claim for deferred classification should be allowed.
 ln my opinion the ruling of the district board for the city of New York Is more harsh than r consistent with the purpose and intent of the law. and I fear that Its application will involve us in great diff ficulty. The rules governing exemption are left to be formulated in executive discretion, and, therefore. there is question Of national policy as we'll as question in law to be considered. I come with great deference to conclusion in consistent with that of the board. and if the question were of law solely I should hesitate even more than I do in promul- gating the following ruling, which is be- ing sent out to all governors today.
 While the effect of rule 5, page S6 s. s. R., Is to require boards to scruti- nize marriages since May IS, 1917, 1t was never intended that rule should raise the presumption that every marriage since that date was effected with the primary purpose of evading military service. That rule was intended to authorize the boards to disregard the relationship created by clearly established "slacker marriages as condition of dependency, but each case must be carefully examined on its own merits. No general rule can be laid down but 1t may be stated that mar riage that carries no equivocal circum- stance other than its date is not to be so disregarded
