War Department Objects.

Washington, March 21.-A forma Il recommendation against any attempt to record the soldier vote in France for elections held during the war has been prepared by the war depart ment After an assessment of the opinions of General Pershing and his staff, and of department officials on this side, the department has deter mined that no practical method of taking the votes of members of the expeditionary forces can be devised.
 The subject was brought up recent ly by a western state which pro- posed a scheme of it's Cwn for ob~ taining the vote of it's citizens in France. While it might be possible for a single state to accomplish this, the army holds that extension of that privilege to all states would impose a burden upon the military forces at the front that would seriously impair their efficiency.
 New York state obtained the vote of strictly New York military units in France last winter, sending a com- mission to France for that purpose. It is pointed out, however, that the troops were then all in training camps and not actually engaged at
 
 replacement of casualties had not set in.
 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 widely scat tered states. The localization of the divisions as they leave this side vir- tually is swept aside by the rep1a ce- nlent policy.
 In this situation, should an attempt to poll the soldier vote be made at a national election, 4S state commissions would have to visit every unit of the army in France and determine the eli gibility of the men in each unit claiming reside ence in each state to vote According to War departm ent officials, it would be a hopeless under taking, and since the federal govern ment cannot itself participate in the recording of the vote which must, un- by state officials, there is no remedy
 Aside from the physical difficulties considerab ble disorganiZation must fol low any attempt at taking the votes in France, particularly the men are changing from division to division every day as the casualties in action and from natural causes make such changes necessary.
 Existing orders fully provide for the recording of votes of soldiers on this side.

 sthat her parents were dead. The .o5 clerk testified that Scapellati took the oath to the statements contained in the license. On cross examination the city clerk said that he thought the girl stated she was IS years old. At any rate, she and Scapellati conferred in regard to that particular The clerk was sure the girl said her parents were dead. The city clerk called in the selectman to give his consent to the girls marriage. The selectman questioned the young man regarding his ability to support a wife, and then endorsed the license.
 Detective Sergeant Malone said that Scapelieti made admissions in regard to taking out the marriage license. Two different statements were made regarding the whereabouts of the couple from the time she left home last Saturday until Tuesday. At one time Scapellati said he remained at his home and at another time he said he stayeS in a, tenement near Broad street. He made other admissions
 May Farmer, the girl in the case, slightly built and apparently, from ap- pearance, not a girl of IS years, tes titied concerning the offense. The case was then disposed of without ar guments by the counsel.
 Says She'll Not Marry Him.
 Tn chambers the girl was charged with being in danger of falling into habits of vice.
 Do you want to marry Scapellati?" she was asked.
 No; not now" she replied, and, asked why, she explained:
 When I was here in the police sta ton neither he nor his folks thought I was good enough to call on; so l don't want to marry him.
 An explanation was made that tho girl remained away from school a great deal and her mother complained to the truant officer, but he did not call.
 She promised to be a good girl in the future and a sentence to the ShH1> School for Girls at Middletown was suspended with the understanding that on the occasion of her first violation she is to be taken to the institution without any further court action.
