FIRST CARDS FROM LOCAL DRAFT
BOARD NOT FINAL

The attention Of registrants for the
draft is called to the fact that the
first cards which are mailed to them
by the local board, advising them Of
their classification, are not the notices
from the district board and therefore
are not final. All agricultural and in
dustrial exemption claims are acted
upon by the district board.
I The last Of the questionnaires were
mailed out by the local board Wednes-
day evening. Since the board started
sending out these blanks another Or
der was received from the provost mar
shall general stating that an addition
al blank must be nlled out by regis
trants who ask exemption on agricul-
tural grounds. These blanks are oh.
tainable at the office Of the board OF

10000 MEN IN CZECH
ARMY NOW IN FRANCE
Austrian Paper Says Help to Allies
Will Work Harm to
Austria.

London, Jan. 1O.-Commenting on
the formation of Czech-Slovak army
in France, which was authorized by
decree printed in the French OFF,
cial Journal, December 10, the vi.
emma Neue Freie Presse says the
army already numbers 100000 men.
ALTHOUGH it will not have any de-
cis1ve influence on the military oper-
ations," the newspaper adds, yet
It may do US considerable harm in
the event of the transfer of Aus
trian troops to the Western front.
The greatest harm, however, is the
moral effect this wholesale act OF
Czech treachery may have on the
military power of the dual mon
archy."

Washington, =, Jan. 10.=3Presfdent
Wilson has thrown his support to
the federal amendment for women
suffrage. .. -:
On the eve of a vote on suffrage
In the House IL Democratic mem
bers called at the White House with
word that many of their colleagues
wanted advice from the head of
their party as to the position they
should take. There was a conference
of 40 minutes, dictated by the
President himself and made public
by the delegation:
1.-THE committee found that the
President had not felt at liberty to
volunteer his advice to members OF
Congress in this important matter,
but when we sought his advice he
very frankly and earnestly advised
US to vote for the amendment as an
act of right and justice to the WON.
en- of the country and Of the world"
Champions See Victory. = = :
In these few lines suffrage cham
pions saw certain victory where a
few days ago the most of them pri-
vately were conceding defeat. A
large majority Of the Republicans in
tho House have been counted upon
to support the amendment and
enough Democrats are committed to
assure a close vote. With tho
weight of the Presidents influence to
swing doubtful Democrats, Repre-
sentative Raker, chairman of the
suffrage committee, jubilantly pre-
dicted last night that the necessary
two-thirds would be exceeded by is
or 20 votes.
Republicans Of the House in con
ference adopted, by unanimous vote,
resolution urging Republican men,
bers to support the federal suffrage
amendment, insofar as they can do
SO consistently with their conscience
and the attitude of their constit-
uents"
Presidents Action Surprise.
The news of the Presidents action
came as complete surprise to nearly
| everybody in the capital, though
some of the suffrage leaders have
insisted for a long time that the
President was with them and would
tell anybody who asked him. Until
now in all public utterances the
President has held to the view that
suffrage was question to be de-
rermined by the individual states
and not by federal action.
